Not Quite Yet, China - Victor Davis Hanson

China’s reluctant deal to curb fentanyl and ease trade tensions signals not surrender, but a strategic pause as America reasserts its strength at home and abroad. - Victor Davis Hanson

Since 1999, imported fentanyl-laced drugs have killed approximately 600,000 Americans through addiction and accidental overdoses.

If China really does comply with its agreement, and the cartels cannot find alternate sources of raw product, then Trump might become the greatest savior of American lives in U.S. history.

CalMatters reviewed thousands of vehicular manslaughter and homicide cases filed statewide since 2019 and found the Democrat-led state was among those with the weakest DUI laws in the country.

Days later, Putin revealed that Russia had successfully tested the nuclear-powered Poseidon torpedo, a 65-foot-long nuclear death machine capable of triggering massive and radioactive tsunamis toward coastlines all over the world.
