ESL Bible Studies for Intermediate and Advanced Students: 9:30 to 10:25 a.m. at Grace Presbyterian Church, 1225 Royal Palms Parkway, Palm Coast. Improve your English skills while studying the Bible. This study is geared toward intermediate and advanced level English Language Learners.

Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from noon to 3 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. 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.

Al-Anon Family Groups: Help and hope for families and friends of alcoholics. Meetings are every Sunday at Silver Dollar II Club, Suite 707, 2729 E Moody Blvd., Bunnell, and on zoom. More local meetings available and online too. Call 904-315-0233 or see the list of Flagler, Volusia, Putnam and St. Johns County meetings here.





landmines

Notably: Have a look at the map above, of the countries that stockpile landmines, and compare it to the map below, the countries that still kill human beings in government’s name. Not an exact match, but close. Especially troubling: the United States aligns with the most barbaric and regressive nations on both counts. “Anti-personnel landmines, little hidden devils, blow up tens of thousands of people each year, often long after a war is over,” The Economist wrote. “Most countries, their faces rubbed in the painful facts, now agree that the military uses of these mines is outweighed by the humanitarian cost in civilian lives and limbs.” That’s from a 1997 article, when the United States during the Clinton administration was leading an effort to support a United Nations resolution banning landmine. By 2020, 160 nations had banned the “little hidden devils.” Not the United States. The United States was building new ones and the Pentagon was developing new tactics built around their uses, thanks to the first Trump administration: “The Trump administration, which came into office pledging to end “endless wars,” has now embraced weapons prohibited by more than 160 countries, and is readying them for future use,” The Times reported in February 2020. “Cluster bombs and antipersonnel land mines, deadly explosives known for maiming and killing civilians long after the fighting ended, have become integral to the Pentagon’s future war plans — but with little public rationale offered for where and why they would be used.” And now Biden is sending a rain of mines to Ukraine.

“In recent years we have ceased to set an example. If anything, the United States today leads by counter-example. We don’t pay our dues to international agencies. We block, oppose or impede agreements on the environment and the punishment of war crimes. We are obsessed with our sovereignty in a world where our own actions bear witness to the growing limitations on the absolute sovereignty of states. And hearing the Senate debate the case for unrestricted nuclear testing, one would suppose we had learned nothing and forgotten nothing since the very earliest days of the cold war. The only time the United States speaks consistently and with authority in the international arena today is in defense of free trade.”

–From Tony Judt’s “A Superpower Flaunts Its Ignorance,” The New York Times, Oct. 17, 1999.

    LOL! This cartoon is certain right on! trump knows much more about TV than he knows about the constitution, governing, or the world beyond his golf courses. Fox, Reality TV and Mein Kampf . . . that is trump’s view of everything.
