Over the weekend, Trump announced he would tap Chronister to lead the DEA, stating that the Florida sheriff would join Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi to “secure the Border, stop the flow of fentanyl, and other illegal drugs across the Southern Border.” However, just a day after the announcement, conservatives online pushed back against the nomination, pointing to Chronister’s track record during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Chronister posted on X Tuesday afternoon, revealing that despite the nomination being “the honor of a lifetime,” he is withdrawing his name as there is “more work” in “Hillsborough County.” (RELATED: RFK Jr. Wants Fluoride Out Of Water — And It’s Not Nearly As Crazy As His Detractors Claim) “To have been nominated by President-Elect @realDonaldTrump to serve as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is the honor of a lifetime.

According to a press release from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in March 2020, Chronister said that while authorities “would never impede on someone’s ability to lean on their religious beliefs as a means of comfort,” those practicing their beliefs must do so “safely.” “His reckless disregard for human life put hundreds of people in his congregation at risk and thousands of residents who may interact with them this week in danger,” Chronister said. “The River at Tampa Bay has an advantage over most places of worship, because they have access to technology that allows them to live stream their services over the internet and broadcast television for the more than 4,000 members to watch from the safety of their homes.” However, not all were opposed to the Florida sheriff’s nomination. While colleagues praised the pick, Howard-Browne also released a video with the sheriff, calling him a friend and endorsing Chronister to lead the DEA. “Yes, I did get arrested during COVID, but we’ve always been friends and we remain friends today,” Howard-Browne said in a video posted to X Sunday evening.

The duo left their village in Toge, Ba, on Thursday night despite the heavy rain. They also crossed two flooded bridges to reach the capital at 3am on Friday morning. After resting for a few hours, they headed to their training session. Nasova, after hitting headlines with the Dominion Brothers club, was impressive for the 7s team in Dubai and Cape Town with his explosive runs, try-scoring prowess and the ability to break tackles and make hard-hitting tackles. He debuted for the 7s team at the HSBC Hong Kong 7s and climbed up the ranks quickly with his sublime performance that earned the new kid on the block his first Olympic Games and a silver medal with the 7s team. He struggled and worked hard while growing up, seeing his dream of donning the 7s jumper coming true. Masori, on the other hand, is also living his dream as he rejoined the 7s team. The soft-spoken Masori has maintained commitment and determination throughout his rugby career, overcoming challenges, especially injuries. Both Masori and Nasova are assets to the 7s team. Rajnesh Ishwar Lingam, Nadawa, Nasinu Who will it be? I wonder who will snag the 2024 Letter of the Year. Many thought-provoking and impactful letters have been penned by various contributors in The Fiji Times column this year. While the regulars have continued to raise awareness on numerous matters of national significance, a few budding writers have emerged during the year and embraced the noble idea of sharing their bold assertions via the letters platform. Welcome aboard. So who will it be? A local or perhaps an overseas based contributor? Or possibly that Australian-based expert (not the rugby 7s critic) who always seems to have something insightful to say on almost every subject? He can never be proven incorrect. With every contributor’s ability to engage readers and spark broader deliberations and debates, it will certainly be intriguing to know who ultimately clinches the top reward for this year. Good luck and continue writing! Nishant Singh (Winner 2022), Lautoka Christmas tree I hope the Christmas tree put up at Nausori roundabout was not put up just for the “sake of it”. Let’s hope relevant authorities at Nausori town come up with a decorative Christmas tree come next Christmas. Finally, the tree was taken down on Saturday. I hope the taken down tree does reproduce because definitely it won’t look like a Christmas tree. Shamal Chand , Kuku Village, Nausori Land buyback scheme I humbly request that the Prime Minister Mr Sitiveni Rabuka take some time off from his busy schedule to review the land buyback scheme that his former SVT government executed in 1993. It seems some of the lands were not returned to their rightful traditional owners as was the aim of the scheme and warrants an investigation. Of concern is the Mua Estate agricultural freehold which has been returned to the yavusa Wainikeli instead of the mataqali Savuna of Naselesele Village on Taveuni. No land law in Fiji can be justified if it has no moral basis by denying the rightful and original traditional owners the rights to their land. I believe the Prime Minister is very much responsible for correcting the anomalies of the buyback scheme implemented by his former SVT government. Sakaraia Vuki, Sydney, Australia ‘Protect vulnerable’ Minister Sashi Kiran says look after the vulnerable in evacuation centres during natural disasters because “they were a group that needed the most attention” (ST 29/12). Isn’t the newly-promoted minister stating the obvious? It sounds like a cliched call. Another group that needs attention — in normal times — is the parliamentarians who duly gave themselves a hefty pay rise. Minister Kiran was part of that group of parliamentarians. Voters, I am sure they will remember that when they go to the next polls. Rajend Naidu, Sydney, Australia Education system To improve, the minister should introduce lecture based teaching and learning facilitated by tutorials, have compulsory agricultural science in all schools, cater for new subjects such as finance, hospitality, and tourism to name a few. Separate physical education from music and art and craft. Have a mentoring program for young teachers, employ relieving teachers to accommodate teachers who are absent for any reason, review the duration of the terms which can result in burnout. Establish a training institution for administrators, head of departments, and assistant teachers. Use modern technology and methods, have sister and brother attachment schools to observe ones strengths and weaknesses in comparison with high performing schools. Recognise the importance of former scholars and parents, guardians and teachers’ associations. Have motivational speakers internally or externally and have a very effective rewards system for all stakeholders. Asish Vinay Prasad, Raiwasa, Suva Eye-in-sky report The advent of AI (Artificial Intelligence) has brought about a revolution in the world of communication and a whole new perception has emerged. I visualise Santa Claus with his sledge as our eye-in-sky reporting on the events of 2024. Thus his AI powered sledge slides through the sky and gives the following report: His journey begins on the Tibetan Plateau and he sees: Let’s thank Santa Claus for this brief report from the sky and let’s pray things will be better next year. Dewan Chand, Namadi Heights, Suva Household rubbish The piles of household rubbish dumped at Uci Rd roundabout in Kalabau Housing (Eye Witness ST 29/12), is a clear indication that the modern “throw away” society has arrived in a big way in the island paradise Fiji. In Australia that is a permanent part of the landscape. Rajend Naidu, Sydney, Australia Health budget How is it that the Government saved $68,700,000 and Savusavu Hospital’s X-ray machine and other essential, or, critical equipment needed for the proper diagnosis of patients is still either in need of replacement or in dire need of maintenance! Noleen Billings, Savusavu New year’s realisation Instead of a new year’s resolution, some of us need to have a new year’s realisation. Sobo! Wise Muavono , Balawa, Lautoka Happy new year While celebrating well blessed new year 2025 with whatever activities with friends, relatives and neighbours let’s take extreme care to avoid accidents. Drink and drive don’t mix. Welcome 2025 with new resolutions, new challenges for better and well blessed Fiji for our future generations. Tahir Ali, Hamilton, New Zealand What legacy Kiran pledges to build on Tabuya’s legacy (FT 28/12). What legacy is that? Tabuya just got sacked by Prime Minster Rabuka because her antics rendered her unfit to remain a minister in his government. There is nothing for the new minister to build. Just do your job. The people of Fiji don’t expect you to reinvent the wheel! Rajend Naidu, Sydney, Australia True character During the past two election campaigns the leader of NFP was sitting at the same tables and working together with the leaders of the Fiji Labour Party and the Unity Fiji Party and other parties in order to unseat the previous government. Now that NFP is part of a Coalition Government directly as a result of the 2013 Constitution, the leader of the NFP has suddenly got reasons to say some very nasty things about the leaders of FLP and Unity Fiji Party.

Extensive confidential documents in the lead-up to the collapse of Northern Ireland’s institutions in 2002 have been made available to the public as part of annual releases from the Irish National Archives. They reveal that the Irish Government wanted to appeal to the UK side against “manipulating” every scenario for favourable election results in Northern Ireland, in an effort to protect the peace process. In the years after the landmark 1998 Good Friday Agreement, a number of outstanding issues left the political environment fraught with tension and disagreement. Mr Trimble, who won a Nobel Peace Prize with SDLP leader John Hume for their work on the Agreement, was keen to gain wins for the UUP on policing, ceasefire audits and paramilitary disarmament – but also to present his party as firmer on these matters amid swipes from its Unionist rival, the DUP. These issues were at the front of his mind as he tried to steer his party into Assembly elections planned for May 2003 and continue in his role as the Executive’s first minister despite increasing political pressure. The documents reveal the extent to which the British and Irish Governments were trying to delicately resolve the contentious negotiations, conscious that moves seen as concessions to one group could provoke anger on the other side. In June 2002, representatives of the SDLP reported to Irish officials on a recent meeting between Mr Hume’s successor Mark Durkan and Prime Minister Tony Blair on policing and security. Mr Blair is said to have suggested that the SDLP and UUP were among those who both supported and took responsibility for the Good Friday Agreement. The confidential report of the meeting says that Mr Durkan, the deputy First Minister, was not sure that Mr Trimble had been correctly categorised. The Prime Minister asked if the SDLP could work more closely with the UUP ahead of the elections. Mr Durkan argued that Mr Trimble was not only not saleable to nationalists, but also not saleable to half of the UUP – to which Mr Blair and Northern Ireland Secretary John Reid are said to have laughed in agreement. The SDLP leader further warned that pursuing a “save David” campaign would ruin all they had worked for. Damien McAteer, an adviser for the SDLP, was recorded as briefing Irish officials on September 10 that it was his view that Mr Trimble was intent on collapsing the institutions in 2003 over expected fallout for Sinn Fein in the wake of the Colombia Three trial, where men linked to the party were charged with training Farc rebels – but predicted the UUP leader would be “in the toilet” by January, when an Ulster Unionist Council (UUC) meeting was due to take place. A week later in mid September, Mr Trimble assured Irish premier Bertie Ahern that the next UUC meeting to take place in two days’ time would be “okay but not great” and insisted he was not planning to play any “big game”. It was at that meeting that he made the bombshell announcement that the UUP would pull out of the Executive if the IRA had not disbanded by January 18. The move came as a surprise to the Irish officials who, along with their UK counterparts, did not see the deadline as realistic. Sinn Fein described the resolution as a “wreckers’ charter”. Doubts were raised that there would be any progress on substantive issues as parties would not be engaged in “pre-election skirmishing”. As that could lead to a UUP walkout and the resulting suspension of the institutions, the prospect of delaying the elections was raised while bringing forward the vote was ruled out. Therefore, the two Governments stressed the need to cooperate as a stabilising force to protect the Agreement – despite not being sure how that process would survive through the January 18 deadline. The Irish officials became worried that the British side did not share their view that Mr Trimble was not “salvageable” and that the fundamental dynamic in the UUP was now Agreement scepticism, the confidential documents state. In a meeting days after the UUC announcements, Mr Reid is recorded in the documents as saying that as infuriating as it was, Mr Trimble was at that moment the “most enlightened Unionist we have”. The Secretary said he would explore what the UUP leader needed to “survive” the period between January 18 and the election, believing a significant prize could avoid him being “massacred”. Such planning went out the window just weeks later, when hundreds of PSNI officers were involved in raids of several buildings – including Sinn Fein’s offices in Stormont. The resulting “Stormontgate” spy-ring scandal accelerated the collapse of powersharing, with the UUP pulling out of the institutions – and the Secretary of State suspending the Assembly and Executive on October 14. For his part, Irish officials were briefed that Mr Reid was said to be “gung ho” about the prospect of exercising direct rule – reportedly making no mention of the Irish Government in a meeting with Mr Trimble and Mr Durkan on that day. The Northern Ireland Secretary was given a new role and Paul Murphy was appointed as his successor. A note on speaking points for a meeting with Mr Murphy in April showed that the Irish side believed the May elections should go ahead: “At a certain stage the political process has to stand on its own feet. “The Governments cannot be manipulating and finessing every scenario to engineer the right result. “We have to start treating the parties and the people as mature and trusting that they have the discernment to make the right choices.” However, the elections planned for May did not materialise, instead delayed until November. Mr Trimble would go on to lose his Westminster seat – and stewardship of the UUP – in 2005. The November election saw the DUP emerge as the largest parties – but direct rule continued as Ian Paisley’s refused to share power with Sinn Fein, which Martin McGuinness’ colleagues. The parties eventually agreed to work together following further elections in 2007. – This article is based on documents in 2024/130/5, 2024/130/6, 2024/130/15

Elon Musk might like to talk about building a city of the future on Mars, but he’s building a city of the past down in Texas. On Thursday, Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX filed paperwork to turn Starbase , its launch site located in Southern Texas, into a company town. SpaceX and its employees, currently stationed down around Brownsville, Texas submitted a petition to Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño seeking approval for Starbase to be incorporated as a new city. In typical Muskian fashion, the CEO tweeted that “SpaceX HQ will now officially be in the city of Starbase, Texas,” which is not how petitions work, you don’t just immediately get the thing you asked for. But this effort has been in the cards before SpaceX even broke ground down near the Southern border. Musk first pitched the idea of the city of Starbase in 2021. Since then, more than 3,400 SpaceX employees and contractors have set up shop around the base, according to a June report from Judge Treviño’s office . And the company has steadily been creating the conveniences of a town to keep the occupants around. Earlier this year, SpaceX announced plans to open a $15 million shopping center and restaurant. In the petition, Starbase General Manager Kathryn Lueders argued that incorporating would make it easier for SpaceX to perform “civic functions” including “management of the roads, utilities, and the provision of schooling and medical care for the residents.” Of course, if you ask the people who monitor SpaceX’s wannabe city, those civic functions are not exactly being performed, to begin with. Earlier this year, NPR reported that SpaceX has ignored environmental regulations in order to move forward with launch plans. Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) have determined that SpaceX has violated the Clean Water Act. Both agencies levied fines totaling more than $150,000 against the company in September. The company got slaps on the wrist from both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for flouting rules protecting local waters. Currently, the company is pushing to increase its launch frequency while bypassing a full environmental review , which seems like the kind of thing a company that has repeatedly violated environmental protections would want to do. And there’s more than just environmental damage being done by SpaceX’s growing company town. There is social pollution, too. The New York Times reported earlier this year that residents of nearby Brownsville are basically inundated with Musk propaganda—everything from murals to the increasing influence of the billionaire’s money in their local politics. This is not even Musk’s first foray into company towns—a model that sees its roots in anti-labor organization and corporatist fascism . Farther north in Texas, near the outskirts of Austin, SpaceX operates Snailbrook, a city incorporated in 2021 and pitched as a sort of utopia for SpaceX and Boring Company employees. Snailbrook has not exactly reached that aspiration unless your idea of a utopia is a billionaire dumping wastewater into local rivers and ignoring any and all concerns raised by Texas locals and city planners , in which case they’re nailing it. Sherwood News described the city as a “rushed job with unfinished walls and a broken-down playground” made up of “an uninsulated bodega, a smaller-than-planned school, and about 15 trailers, rather than the 110 originally planned homes.” Surely, Starbase will be different...right?
