[FoxNews] Two Texas boys were taken into custody on Saturday following the stabbing of a woman who was left hospitalized in critical condition, according to officials.
The stabbing happened at a residence on April Valley Court in northwest Harris County shortly after 2 p.m., the Harris County Sheriff's Office said.
The boys, ages seven and 12, allegedly returned to the home after a possible verbal confrontation with the woman, aged 59. The children fled the scene after the stabbing and the woman was transported to a hospital by life flight, sheriff Ed Gonzalez wrote on social media.
"From what I've gathered, it was just a verbal altercation," sheriff's office spokesperson Sergio Torres told KPRC-TV.
"The female appeared to have several stab wounds to her abdomen area," Torres continued. "The female was transported to a nearby hospital where she’s right now in surgery and is in critical condition."
It is unclear at this time which child is accused of stabbing the woman. Local media reported that the 12-year-old is facing charges, although that information has not been confirmed by the sheriff's office.

....Unilever isn't really talking about it, but the loudmouthed morons at Ben and Jerry's have apparently brought down all their ice cream business. When they spin off the ice cream side of the house, there's a good chance that B&J's will either 'rebrand' as just a fun treat, or quietly go away.

Ben and Jerry's have a lot of fans. I think only a minority of those fans know or care about the company's politics. Perhaps if they could get Yaya Sinwar or Dylan Mulvaney (or better both together with the former killing the latter) to appear in a commercial their politics would be more well known.
Personally, I think it is overpriced and has too much sugar.

I've never bought it because it is so overpriced.
But I do hve to correct Lord Garth: There is no such thing as too much sugar.

I imagine Ben and Jerry got their money, or most of it, when Unilever bought the company — all the nonsense since has just been them exercising their egos because they can and because it’s part of the company image. When the company evaporates, they’ll complain about The Man punishing them for their edgy opinions, instead of admitting they’re rude, self-hating Jews who destroyed the equity of a golden brand with their antics.
Just as the Cherry Blossoms come out annually, so do the drivers who have no problem leaving their cars in the travel lane of an interstate highway bridge to see the trees. @NotErik703 saw cars being towed earlier today, but a new crop is back.

[FoxNews] The United States continues to be a house divided. The so-called Grits Belt lays it bare.
Political borders are well-defined, the line on the map matching the "welcome to" sign on the road.
On the other hand, cultural borders are undefined and unmarked — yet their existence is undeniable. The Grits Belt, largely a phenomenon in the eastern half of the country, is a perfect example.
It does not appear on a map, AAA guide or smartphone app. Yet it’s as obvious as the delicious joy that comes with eating the creamy ground corn drenched in butter and love.
"The Grits Belt is a real geographic phenomenon," Matthew Zook, a professor of geography at the University of Kentucky, told Fox News Digital.
"But like all cultures, it has porous and diffuse borders."
The Grits Belt separates an America in which grits are at best a novelty from an America in which grits are gloriously abundant.
Grits are rare in New England, the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest.
But during a drive south, New Yorkers will, without notice, enter the Grits Belt.
They will know only when they pull over at the country café and find grits on the menu with their sunny sides, shrimp or fried chicken.
Road-trippers from South Carolina, conversely, will at some undetermined point leave the Grits Belt.
They will know only when they look at a menu and find that meals come with some sort of potatoes: home fries with their eggs, French fries with fried fish, mashed potatoes with chicken dinner.
Zook and other scholars mapped the Grits Belt in 2014 on the website floatingsheep.org, by surveying geotagged posts on X (formerly known as Twitter).
"The South in general demonstrates a general preference for grits over the rest of the country," they wrote.

I developed a taste for grits at Coastal Flats in Fairfax - "Sauteed Shrimp & Creamy Grit Cakes, with Smithfield ham, roasted corn,
asparagus, peppers, sweet onion & cajun cream".
But there ain't nothin' like that in these here North Texas parts.

Way back when I was working in Cambridge, Massachusetts I lived in a town outside of Cambridge. There was a small restaurant named Betty's Breakfast Kitchen. I had breakfast there every Saturday morning. One Saturday I was sitting at the counter. The waitress asked me what I wanted and I said, "I don't suppose you have grits do you?" She said yes. Betty's husband is from Alabama and he likes grits so I ordered them. Just before my breakfast came a black gentleman sat down next to me. When my breakfast came he looked over and literally did a double take. He said, "Is those grits?" I said yes, they are. He yelled back to the kitchen, "Betty! You didn't tell me you had grits!" We had a nice conversation after that.

Since moving to Texas, I have been surprised by the paucity of grits in the central part of the state. Several places don't even have them on the menu.
I really have to learn how to cook them for myself.

[Washington Examiner] Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) expressed her desire that the rest of the United States follow in South Dakota’s footsteps and ban foreign countries from buying land for agricultural use.
Noem appeared on Sunday Morning Futures to issue her rallying cry that more states adopt the ban that she signed into law last month. In South Dakota, it was previously against the law that any foreign entity to own over 160 acres, but this newest restriction outright bans buyers from China, Iran, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, and North Korea. All current foreign owners from any other country have three years to transfer their agricultural land or become a legal U.S. resident in order to keep it.
"Well, what I hope the American people realize is that the country that controls our food supply, they control us," Noem said. "China would never — they would never allow Americans to come over and buy their land. They don’t even allow their own people to buy land in China. Why would we ever allow them to come to America and own our property and own land in the middle of the United States that they will use for nefarious actions to control us? I think America needs to wake up. We have our enemy among us. We have no idea how much land they own."

No one owns land in the US either, try getting away with not paying your property lease taxes. Extra special taking now on the way in New York if 'they' don't like you.

It's not that the left doesn't understand the Second Amendment.
It's that they understand it all too well.

One thing to keep in mind is that when Dem's spend government money, they generally aren't really trying to actually do stuff, stuff happens but more importantly, certain people get /paid/. Which is the real reason.
[FoxNews] Trump says he supports the Cuban people and that the situation there is 'gonna be changed'
Former President Trump has suggested a regime change take place in Cuba should he be reelected to office in November.
The presumptive Republican nominee, 77, spoke on Truth Social Friday about the deepening crisis inside the communist nation as it endured one of its worst economic and energy crises with food shortages and blackouts pushing the country toward the verge of collapse.
"I want to express my admiration and support for all of the brave people of Cuba, who are standing up against the vile communist regime," Trump said in the video post. "It’s not easy, and we appreciate it, and it’s gonna be changed."
"Under Cuba’s brutal and corrupt dictators, the Cuban people are suffering terrible food shortages, energy blackouts, poverty, political repression and religious persecution," he added.
"I want the people of Cuba to know that we are watching what is happening in Santiago very closely, we are watching it every single minute of the day," Trump said. "We are with you."
The communist regime has come under intense pressure as the economic situation deteriorates there. Miguel Díaz-Canel, 63, became president in 2019, taking over from Raúl Castro, 92, who still effectively leads the 65-year-old dictatorship.
Protests have erupted in Cuba over energy and food shortages, with calls growing for the military to side with the people and for the Communist regime to come to an end. The U.S. Embassy urged the Cuban government to respect the protests in a post on its Facebook page.
The regime has sought assistance from the World Food Programme (WFP), asking for powdered milk and other items.
"Under my administration, we will return to being very strong on the oppressors. Unlike Crooked Joe Biden, who has been very weak on the communists, I stand with the Cuban people," Trump went on to say.
"He does not stand with them, he doesn’t care about them, he couldn’t care less. I echo your call for the release of political prisoners in Cuba and for the free and fair election that we have to have."
"You have to have free and fair elections," he said. "Our country has some problems with that also, by the way."
"Most of all, I share your vision for a Cuba that is safe, prosperous and free. God bless the Cuban people and God bless America."
Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Fernández de Cossío, suggested in a Monday interview with The Associated Press that the food shortages were due to the U.S.'s long-standing embargoes.
He also accused the U.S. of "open interference [in] Cuba’s domestic affairs" after the State Department called on Havana to respect the protesters and "attend to the legitimate needs of the Cuban people."
"It was also cynical, as we said publicly, and hypocritical because it was referring to issues that are occurring in Cuba in which there’s an import and responsibility from the U.S. government," de Cossío said, calling the comments "disrespectful."
The U.S. has had trade and other financial embargoes on Cuba largely since the early 1960s, though certain exceptions permit the export of food products to the island nation so long as they are used in the private sector and not by the government.
The State Department in January reissued an increased caution warning for travelers to Cuba due to crime and violent crime including armed robbery and homicide.

I don’t think its going to play out like this; the drone v. tractor scenario as stated is too simplistic. I do think there will be a shakeup in the airborne spraying industry; replacing manned aircraft, both fixed and rotary winged, with these drones. Programmed to fly precisely within the customer’s boundaries, and no expensive A&P annuals, pilot costs, etc.
Just need a spot to launch/ recover and reload the hopper.
But to replace the tractor? Nothing runs like a Deere.
