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.

Notably: In 2022 CS, as she is referred to in court papers, was a third grader in a Michigan school. It was Hat Day at at Robert Kerr Elementary School in Durand, northwest of Detroit. The child decided to wear a hat imprinted with an AR-15 and the words, “Come and Take It.” It is difficult to cal the child an idiot. The child was only wearing a mirror of her her parent’s idiocy. The idiocy of parental rights. The lethality of parental rights. Idiocy being the least of it. The child was barred from wearing the hat. The child’s manipulators sued. The child lost in federal district court. The child lost on appeal. This week, the child also lost at the U.S. Supreme Court, which refused to take up the case. There are limits to idiocy, even at the idiocy-enabling court of supreme mullahs and terrorism enablers. Hat Day, by the way, was part of a “Great Kindness Challenge,” as the school described it. Good sense, if not kindness, prevailed for once. That deserves a little serenity from Bach.

They had come after me all the way from Berlin to Paris, via Vienna and Prague, and down the Atlantic coast, until in this outermost corner of France they had at last caught me up. I looked at the black procession in the sunshine; there was a tall figure standing immobile in one of the moving turrets; I divined his face, the face of a young peasant lad from Pomerania, with goggling, cretinous eyes and with a vague grin undecided between kindliness and brutality, staring at the cathedrals and vineyards of France and licking his pursed lips, like a dog in front of a bone. I could not hate him, hard as I tried, but I wished I had a rifle to shoot at him-not to kill, but to be killed on a level. I had never understood the mentality of Russian and Chinese terrorists, of the Serb and Belgian franctireurs in the last war, their apparently senseless actions with the certainty of immediate death before them. Now, standing in the doorway, sick, ragged and dirty, and staring at the victorious procession, I understood that a man could kill to cover his aching nakedness.
–From Arthur Koestler’s The Scum of the Earth (1941).
