Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 1 to 4 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County.

The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.

Nothing exceptional about the United States anymore: From Statista: “While the question of whether or not the charges brought forward against Trump are justified is up for the courts to decide, the fact that he is facing accountability for his actions signifies that the U.S. is neither a failed state, nor a ”third world nation” as Trump and his allies suggested. In fact, the United States is by no means the first country to prosecute a former president, even if Trump’s indictment is a first in the nation’s long history. As the following chart illustrates, former leaders from all over the world, including wealthy democracies such as France and South Korea, have been charged or jailed after their time in office. According to research conducted by Axios, leaders who left office since 2000 have been jailed or prosecuted in at least 78 countries, the vast majority of these cases being related to corruption and/or illegal campaign financing.”

I don’t believe Mr. Trump would have done well at Harry’s. Let us begin with his preposterous hairdo. I can easily hear one of the boyos saying, “You know, Donny, with the money you spend on hair dye and spray, we could easily clear the national debt.” As for his tan, I hear him being asked how long he has to keep his head in orange juice to achieve that color. His weight would be taken into account by suggesting he wear another of those long red ties on the back of his neck to cover up his ample caboose. On his less than subtle knowledge of the Constitution, he might be asked if he really interprets the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, as the right to wear short-sleeve shirts. About his escapades with women, don’t ask. This is a family newspaper.
–Joseph Epstein in “Somebody Needs to ‘Bug’ Donald Trump,” The Wall Street Journal, June 9, 2023.
