Notably: One day in 1910, in London, The New York Times reported the next day the following, at the top of Page 1 (this is the full article): “Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army has taken upon his shoulders the mantle of those sad prophets who from time to time have predicted the imminent dissolution of the world because of its wickedness. Addressing a meeting to-night, he said: “We have a world setting God Almighty at naught and rushing forward reckless of His wishes and threatenings as to their fate. Notwithstanding all that has been done in years gone by, men and women still pursue their wickedness to-day in all the nations of the earth. Not only one nation, but all nations, seem banded together as one great people of rebellion, transgression, and wickedness until some think–I believe a considerable degree of probability–that we may be approaching rapidly the end of all things, with similar results but far surpassing in magnitude as anything that has gone before: that all things may be wound up, but that instead of there being a deluge of water sweeping the world and its inhabitants there will be destruction by fire.” Now where have we heard that recently?

—P.T.

“Things are ending,” he told her. “This civilization; things are closing in on it. It has been quite a culture, brilliant and foul, cannibal and Christian, the glory of the world. We should celebrate it while we can; until night falls.”

–From Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses (1988).

    Elon Musk called Senator Mark Kelly a “traitor” this week. Why? Because Kelly visited Ukraine over the weekend. Apparently Mr. Musk thinks Americans supporting another democracy fighting for it’s survival and freedom are traitors.
    SecDef Hegseth is pushing for the elimination of anything referencing LGBTQ, race, gender, DEI and anything else that sounds “woke” to MAGA. As part of that, the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Japan has been removed. Meanwhile, Ukraine struggles to resist Russia, China is watching us carefully for the right moment to pounce, Europe no longer trusts us but our Defense Department is making sure it’s priorities are right.
    Trump kisses Putin’s ass while alienating virtually every ally we’ve got. Even Canada is turning their back on us. Europe will also. It may take some time but the USA will be kicked out of NATO, the G20 and G7 in time. As countries adjust to the new world order and strengthen their defensive capabilities sufficiently, they’ll cut their ties to the USA as far as they possibly can.
    The stock market is tanking, inflation is rising, job growth has slowed dramatically, our GDP forecast is dropping and some of Trump’s sycophants say the market may drop over 20%. Trump says maybe we’ll have a recession, maybe not. (Leadership at it’s finest.) All this over tariffs, contradictory messaging, lack of planning and communication from the White House and the government in general.
    Congress will pass a bill to reduce or eliminate Medicaid so we can give the top 5% another tax cut they so badly need. That’ll be glossed over by giving the vast middle class a cut of around $1k. We eat the crumbs thrown our way and react as though this is the way is should be.
    I shudder to think what will be left of this country in four years.

    Per The Cool Down, ever since the introduction about two decades ago of Asian psyllids that bore into orange tree trunks and spread an “untreatable” bacterium that causes “citrus greening”, Florida’s orange harvest has dropped by 92%.

    I remember early stories of entire groves being ripped out of the South Florida soil; they were then burned in an effort to stop the spread of the disease. Recalling these episodes reminds me of the similar methods employed by egg farmers who slaughter entire barns worth of hens to save the flocks contained in their other barns. Nothing seemed to work back then. The psyllids spread ever further north. Spraying antibiotics and pesticides risked contaminating the product.

    Florida, of course, reimbursed grove owners and allocated money to study the bacterium. In 2025, Florida plans to spend $40 million on “infrastructure, research, and expansion of propagation and replanting efforts.” Who knows how much has been allocated to the psyllid eradication effort?

    UF researchers now claim to have found a cure via genetic modification that creates a psyllid-deadly protein.

    According to the reporter, OJ prices have increased by 80% since 2019, meaning the price rise began during the first Trump administration. American OJ distributors are having to import more and more foreign juice to mix with Florida juice.

    Make of this what you will.

    Me?

    I have a longer memory than many of the more gullibly stupid FlaglerLive commenters who continue to blame the Biden administration for all manner of perceived ills. Even Trump injected new jargon into the issue in the last 24 hours: Biden left him an “economic disaster.”

    Yes, FlaglerLive readers, both the Economist and the Wall Street Journal opined late last year that Trump was inheriting an economy that was “the envy of the world” and Trump says it was an “economic disaster.”

    There exists at the top of one of our two political parties a professional lying class that relies on the gullibly stupid among us to launder their lies. Prior to the 2024 presidential election, we were better of in late 2024 than we were four years before. By far!

    I read this morning that the USDA announced that egg prices have suddenly begun to drop. Since I agree with Mr. Tristam when he says he doesn’t believe in coincidences, I have to wonder if the recent DOJ missive to egg distributors and grocers to save their pricing records had anything to do with the sudden price drop.

    The USDA has long been predicting that any restocking of the destroyed egg-laying hen population will take at least three months, and perhaps as many as six, so the drop in egg prices can’t be due to greater egg output.
