Reverend boyfriend of ex-Houston mayoral appointee who went on Camp Mystic tirade condemns her comments
Colin Bossen, a senior minister at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston, apologized to his congregation for his girlfriend Sade Perkins' remarks while acknowledging that he never endorsed them in the first place, in a statement obtained by the Daily Mail.
'My partner Sadé Perkins has made comments on social media regarding the horrific flooding that devastated Camp Mystic,' he wrote, according to the report. 'I want to be clear that I disavow her comments.'

He made it abundantly clear that he was deeply regretful about the pain Perkins' rant have caused.
'I apologize to my congregation,' he wrote. 'I will continue to work to repair the harm this incident has caused.'

'Her comments have caused harm to many who are experiencing terrible loss and anxiety,' he wrote, according to the Daily Mail. 'Her comments were not in the spirit of the Unitarian Universalist values centered around love that my congregation and I share.'
Perkins' went off about the all-girls Christian camp just hours after Friday's catastrophic flooding.
'I know I'm going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls' Christian camp. They don't even have a token Asian. They don't have a token Black person. It's an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp,' Perkins said in a widely condemned video on her private TikTok account.
'If you ain't white you ain't right, you ain't gettin' in, you ain't goin'. Period,' Perkins said.

She insisted no one would care if the victims were minorities.

'If this were a group of Hispanic girls out there, this would not be getting this type of coverage that they're getting, no one would give a f–k, and all these white people, the parents of these little girls would be saying things like 'they need to be deported, they shouldn't have been here in the first place' and yada yada yada,' Perkins said.
The post, which went viral, drew massive criticism.

Perkins, invigorated by the hate she was receiving, responded with another equally unhinged video.
'I get that white people are not used to people telling them and calling them out on their racism and telling them about their double standards and how you wouldn't give a damn about other children and how there's children in ICE detention right now who y'all don't give two f–ks about,' she ranted.

'There's no prayers going up for them, but we're supposed to stop the world and stop everything we're doing to go and hunt for these little missing white girls.'
The board president of First Unitarian Universalist Church, Joan Waddill, also issued a statement trying to distance her church from Perkins' controversial remarks.
'Like everybody in Texas, indeed any person who has heard of the terrible loss of life along the Guadalupe River, we are shocked and saddened by the enormity of our loss,' she said.

'Our core values include a belief in the interconnected web of life and the value of every individual,' she wrote, according to the Daily Mail.
Waddill said Perkins is connected to the church but is not a staff member.
''She was not speaking for the church, but only for herself,' Waddil wrote, according to the Daily Mail.
'Indeed, her comments contradict the core values of our church. We are horrified to be associated with these comments.'

Spain's major export item is struggling under fresh tariffs from Trump
Spain's black olive exporters, subject to harsh tariffs since U.S. President Donald Trump's first term, are warning it will be difficult to survive an extra 15% they now face under the European Union's latest trade deal with the United States. EU goods now face import tariffs of 15% — half of Trump's threatened rate, but much more than Europeans had hoped for — after striking a trade deal with Trump on Sunday. Spain, the world's top table olive exporter, has seen its share of the U.S. black olive market plummet from 49% in 2017 to 19% in 2024 after Trump imposed tariffs of more than 30% at the request of Californian olive growers. The measures only affected black olives and don't apply to green olives, olive oil or semi-processed olives. Spanish farmers have taken steps to increase green olive sales and to diversify their markets since the tariffs were first imposed, but warn the additional increase will be hard to swallow. 'It would be unviable (for black table olives),' said Eduardo Martin, secretary of Asaja, a Spanish local farmers' association in southern Seville province, a region that produces the most olives. The initial trade measures coincided with a severe drought that forced Spanish producers to cut around 400,000 work shifts for pickers out of a total of 2.5 million, according to industry estimates. Sales of Spanish black olives to the U.S. dropped by 70% in the first year. 'The worst was the first year,' said Gabriel Cabello, president of Andalusia's Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives in Seville province. 'In the second year, we learned that this was here to stay and that we had to do things differently.' To mitigate losses, Spanish exporters shifted focus to Europe and the Middle East, regions with a tradition of consuming table olives. They also ventured into Asian markets, while switching to shipping more green olives to the U.S. because they are subject to lower tariffs. Tariffs also spurred innovation, with some Spanish exporters selling black olives stuffed with salmon or cheese for the first time, which helped boost sales in Europe and Asia, Cabello said. Still, the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture estimates it has lost 239.6 million euros ($278.51 million) in black olive sales since the tariffs were introduced, nearly a third of the 707 million-euro total export value from the last harvest. WEATHERED THE STORM Among the 25 Spanish exporters active before the tariffs, only four major players remain, according to Asemesa, Spain's Association of Table Olive Exporters. Agro Sevilla, one of the larger players with the financial resources to lobby the U.S. for lower rates, expanded green olive exports and managed to reduce black olive tariffs to 10% from 31%. The company successfully demonstrated that they received fewer European subsidies than the U.S. had estimated. Its U.S. sales have been gradually growing since 2023. 'We cannot give up on the world's largest consumer market for black olives,' said Agro Sevilla CEO Julio Roda. In a twist, Aceitunas Guadalquivir, another major Spanish olive producer, acquired Bell-Carter Foods, one of the two leading U.S. companies that had advocated for the tariffs, according to a statement issued in 2022. The company is among several Californian companies that have imported raw olives from Spain, which are exempt from the tariffs, according to Asemesa. Aceitunas Guadalquivir did not reply to a Reuters request for comment about such exports. 'When California has low production, they import raw olives to finish processing them in the United States, mostly from Spain,' said Asemesa's Secretary General Antonio de Mora. Spain exported 6,300 tonnes of semi-processed olives in 2024 alongside 36,000 tonnes of green olives and 9,800 tonnes of black olives. The U.S. measures failed to bolster domestic growers. Imports of table olives surged by 40% in the first eight months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2017, trade data shows, with Egypt, Portugal, and Turkey increasing exports the most. Spanish exports of green olives to the U.S. grew by 18% during the same period, partially offsetting a decline in black olive exports. However, Spanish producers remain concerned about the new tariffs. 'It's like adding rain to wet ground,' Asaja's Martin said. ($1 = 0.8603 euros)

How Spanish olive exporters survived Trump tariffs since 2017
STORY: Spain's black olive exporters were slapped with harsh tariffs in U.S. President Donald Trump's first term. Only four major players remain among the 25 Spanish exporters active before those tariffs, industry figures show. Now, they're warning it will be tough to survive the extra 15% that's coming under the European Union's latest trade deal with the United States. Spain is the world's top table olive exporter. Its share of the U.S. black olive market plunged from 49% in 2017 to 19% in 2024. Agro Sevilla is one of the original survivors. Here's CEO Julio Roda. "The U.S. represents 22% of the black olive market globally. For Agro Sevilla it was 25% of our production." Roda said sales of Spanish black olives to the U.S. dropped by 70% in the first year. Tariffs of more than 30%, imposed at the request of Californian growers, hit hard - alongside a severe drought. But the tax was only on black olives - not green olives, olive oil, or semi-processed olives. So, Spanish farmers bumped up green olive sales. And diversified their markets - shifting focus to Europe and the Middle East, while also venturing into Asia. Farmer Gabriel Cabello, who is president of Andalusia's Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives, said fresh ideas helped too, like pairing the olives with salmon and cheese. "We began to think, perhaps those black olives that we couldn't sell in the US, we could stuff them with something our clients wanted? So we proposed different kinds to the Asian and Eastern Europe markets, our innovation team gave us new and innovative products that we offered to our clients, and they were successful." The U.S. measures failed to bolster domestic growers. And global imports of table olives rebounded, 2024 figures show, including from Spain. But the new tariffs are worrying Roda, whose U.S. sales just began to recover two years ago. "It's not good for the Spanish olives, European olives, or any other agrifood products that could be affected." The Spanish Ministry of Agriculture estimates it has lost nearly $280 million in black olive sales since the tariffs were introduced. That's almost a third of the total export value from the last harvest.

The untapped potential AI can't replace in underserved communities like mine
The crime of post-60s liberalism is that it created permanent Black underclasses all over America, including on the South Side of Chicago where I live. The schools here are poor. Opportunities have been replaced by government handouts. Violence robs far too many families of their loved ones. Yet, there is much untapped potential in these underclasses. I thought about them as I listened to Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" detail the need for hundreds of thousands of tradesmen and women recently at the Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit. He began by saying, "We've been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code." I, too, have been told to pursue that as a means of opportunity for my youth. But I always believed in the power of the trades. Rowe pointed out how the advent of AI has decimated many coding jobs but has not come after "the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians." AI cannot do manual labor. For the last 20 or so, our nation has emphasized the college degree above everything, including vocational training. In my opinion, this has been disastrous. In my community, there are still those who look down at the prospect of working with their hands. They believe the college degree is their ticket. Maybe it is, but my point here is that work done by our hands should not be looked down upon in our culture. It's honest work. Rowe said that he heard Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock, say in Aspen that "we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years — not hyperbole." My non-profit has provided training in the electrician field to many individuals, including a Chicago Police officer who eventually left the force to work full time in her new field. He said the over 80,000 collision repair technicians would be needed. Over 140,000 tradespeople are needed to help companies build and deliver nuclear-powered submarines to the Navy. And for the energy field, 300,000 to 500,000 people will be needed. AI can't do any of this work. But I know people from the South Side and similar neighborhoods across America who can. We need to train these people and put them to work. They may be living in poverty and they may not have received the best education. But many of them are hungry to improve their lives. That is why our nation must reverse the decline of post-60s liberalism by giving these people direct pathways to opportunity. If one should fail or act detrimentally, then dismiss that person and let him or her be an example to others of what happens when one doesn't fully commit. We are a nation in a crisis. If we don't reverse the fortunes of my neighborhood and others like it, then when? The Golden Age for many Americans lies in the pursuit of a livelihood in the trades.
