Men's Boots Stitched With 'KKK' Removed From Walmart's Online Marketplace
A boot being sold on Walmart Marketplace by a company named Harsuny featured the unfortunate letters “KKK” on each boot.

🇷🇺 🇩🇿 Russia can cover 40% of Algeria's milling wheat demand in 2022-2023 season, a grain union's representative says
Russia, in the 2022-2023 agricultural year (from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023) can cover up to 40 percent of Algeria's demand for milling wheat and supply up to 3.5 million tonnes to that country, analysis department director at the Russian Grain Union, Elena Tyurina, told Sputnik.
"Algeria is a major importer of milling wheat. According to the USDA, in the 2022-2023 agricultural season, it ranks fifth in the world ranking of wheat importers and can buy 8.2 million tonnes of it. And the rejection of French wheat supplies led to Algeria's sharply increased demand for Russian [wheat]," Tyurina said, noting that France, until 2021, was the main supplier of milling wheat to the Algerian market.
