The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Monday, March 7, 2022

Today at the Editor’s glance: Weather: Partly sunny in the morning, then clearing. Highs in the upper 80s. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Monday Night: Partly cloudy. A chance of showers in the evening. Lows in the mid 60s. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent.

In Court: Circuit Judge Terence Perkins hears arraignments, pleas, bond and other motions today. No high-=profile cases are on the docket.

The Flagler County Commission meets at 9 a.m. at the Government Services Building, 1769 E. Moody Boulevard, Building 2, Bunnell. The all-Republican commission will do its best to pretend, in an update on American Rescue Plan money and what Flagler is doing with it, that a Democratic administration had nothing to do with it even as they take the money and grin for the photo-ops.  The commission’s consent agenda includes the approval of bid rankings for an architectural firm that will design a new fire station in west Flagler, and they’ll hear two land use matters in Plantation Bay. The full agenda is here. Access meeting agendas and materials here. The five county commissioners and their email addresses are listed here.

The Beverly Beach Town Commission meets at 6 p.m. at the meeting hall building behind the Town Hall, 2735 North Oceanshore Boulevard (State Road A1A) in Beverly Beach. See meeting announcements here.

Notably: It’s Labor Day in Australia. It’s also, unhappily for many Orthodox Christians who will not get to celebrate it as they would prefer (viz., Ukraine), the first Monday of Lent in the Orthodox church. Putin the Terrible is expected to observe it by the rocket. The universe demands a bit of balance, and so it is the great architect and painter–and a favorite of our friend Charles Smith’s–Piet Mondrian’s 150th birth anniversary. This, “Trafalgar Square (1939-43), from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, will suffice:

Asking tough questions is increasingly met with hostility. The political climate—nationally and right here in Flagler County—is at war with fearless reporting. Officials and powerbrokers often prefer echo chambers to accountability. They want news that flatters, not news that informs. They want stenographers. We give them journalism. You know by now, after 16 years, that FlaglerLive won’t be intimidated. We dig. We don't sanitize to pander or please. We report reality, no matter who it upsets. Even you. But standing up to this kind of pressure requires resources. We need a community that values courage over comfort. Stand with us, and help us hold the line. Fund the journalism they don't want you to read. No paywall. But it's not free. Take a moment, become a champion of enlightening journalism. Any amount helps. We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit news organization. Donations are tax deductible.

    Utter drivel. Teachers “work” 180 days a year with a salary — depending on the state — in the neighborhood $50,000 plus perks-a-plenty. In days gone by, there may have been lots of paperwork, but in today’s world that is the merest memory.

    No one’s salary will be able to keep up with the inflation that is already here because of liberal fiscal policy (“the new monetary theory”) and the new war that this administration has started by encouraging Ukraine to join NATO.

    And now, the administration is willing to buy oil from dictators in Iran an Venezuela instead of drilling for more US oil and importing more Canadian oil. Think gas is expensive now?

    Ah, but no worries, green energy will save us all. Ask Germany how that is working out!
    They cannot survive without Russian gas.
    Where do people think that electricity comes from? Where does the cobalt in batteries come from?

    Want inflation? Keep US oil and gas in the ground. Spend more money to buy more votes.
