Our food supply chain is broken

When I looked up “food security” this definition made the most sense to me. “Food security incorporates a measure of resilience to future disruption or unavailability of critical food supply due to various risk factors including droughts, shipping disruptions, fuel shortages, economic instability, and wars.” Covid-19 has revealed that we do not have food security in the USA.

For honey bees, 2023 is potentially a bad year

A massively destructive hurricane in Florida last year, a very stormy winter in California, and higher than average colony losses mean that 2023 is positioned to be a bad year for honey bees. “I talked with a beekeeper recently who hadn’t lost more than 20% of his colonies in several years but lost 90% of his bees this year,” said Tim Lawrence, a recently retired Washington State University Extension associate professor who worked with the insects. “And he’s far from alone. I’ve heard from many beekeepers suffering high losses this year.” Lawrence wrote about the potentially bad year for WSU Tree Fruit Extension’s website.

Close the southern border

Trump should close down the southern border until that crisis is completely under control. Otherwise, we may go into an economic recession or even a civil war with those illegal immigrants or possibly even Mexico. Things cannot continue as it has been at the southern border. The numbers just keep increasing there and they are even arriving here from Africa. You think government officials are not up to their eyebrows in the drug trade in this country and the world? When we first went into Afghanistan we made them burn their poppy crops. Now, our own military is guarding their poppy crops. The one-world system is here. George Orwell’s book “1984” is also on the global elite’s agenda.
