Rich Lowry: We Need to Take the Fentanyl Crisis More Seriously | The Patriot Post  link
"...According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses during the first year of the pandemic. 

That’s double the figure from 2015 and, as The New York Times notes, more than were killed in car crashes and gun fatalities combined.

• ...If 10 kilos of fentanyl are interdicted, it’s relatively easy for a hard-to-detect lab in Mexico to produce more and get it into the United States.

...According to the commission, three to five metric tons of the drug would cover the annual consumption of all illegally supplied opioids in the United States. 

By way of comparison, in 2016, Americans used 47 metric tons of heroin and 145 metric tons of cocaine.

• ...Most fentanyl comes across the Southwestern border, and we can do more try to interdict the supply. We need to push China and India to crack down on the manufacture and export of precursor chemicals that feed the Mexican labs..."

Elon Musk says he would end Twitter ban on Trump, calls it 'morally wrong' and 'flat out stupid' - TheBlaze

Elon Musk says he would end Twitter ban on Trump, calls it 'morally wrong' and 'flat out stupid' - TheBlaze: 

Musk made the comments while being interviewed on FT Live's "Future of the Car" conference. "Permanent bans should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots, or scam, spam accounts," said Musk. "I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump. I think that was a mistake, because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice."

  Americans still can’t get out as restrictions on women increase

• ...The new burqa decree requires women to cover everything but their eyes outside the home. If a woman’s face is seen in public, her male “guardian” could face a fine and jail time. If an uncovered woman has relatives who work for the government, they could lose their jobs. Parks are now segregated by sex. Women can no longer go to school or travel on planes or taxis without a male companion. They face arrest and imprisonment for violations.

Before the latest decree was announced, Mr. Blinken said the situation for Afghan women was “extremely mixed to negative.” 

But, he added, “somewhat ironically, you might say, there is in the country at large greater stability and relative peace.”..."

"...even if we all bought electric cars today, it would make things worse, not better, because our electric grid can’t handle the amount of power we need today..."

"Without subsidies, electric cars are really expensive, so they are not a solution to the high price of gasoline in the Biden-Harris economy.

...But even if we all bought electric cars today, it would make things worse, not better, because our electric grid can’t handle the amount of power we need today. 

...If we allow the free market to work its magic, maybe the cost of electric cars will go down and a strong nuclear power expansion will help enable the grid to handle it.
But government pushes - through subsidies, mandates, taxes and green programs - not only don’t help; they make everything infinitely worse.---John F Di Leo

"You’ve been flagged as a threat.
Before long, every household in America will be similarly flagged and assigned a threat score.
Without having ever knowingly committed a crime or been convicted of one, you and your fellow citizens have likely been assessed for behaviors the government might consider devious, dangerous or concerning; assigned a threat score based on your associations, activities and viewpoints; and catalogued in a government database according to how you should be approached by police and other government agencies based on your particular threat level...

• Consider the case of Michael Williams, who spent almost a year in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Williams was behind the wheel when a passing car fired at his vehicle, killing his 25-year-old passenger Safarian Herring, who had hitched a ride. Despite the fact that Williams had no motive, there were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, no gun was found in the car, and Williams himself drove Herring to the hospital, police charged the 65-year-old man with first-degree murder based on ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection program that had picked up a loud bang on its network of surveillance microphones and triangulated the noise to correspond with a noiseless security video showing Williams’ car driving through an intersection. The case was eventually dismissed for lack of evidence..."

Gas prices soar to new high - TheBlaze

Gas prices soar to new high - TheBlaze: 

The U.S. has prohibited the importation of oil and other products from Russia in response to that country's invasion of Ukraine.

"We have the biggest inflation spike in 4 decades, record high gas prices, a massive border crisis, incompetent foreign policy, endless attacks on liberty and personal safety, and now even a baby formula shortage. The Biden presidency has truly been a epic disaster from the start," tweeted GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York — the lawmaker is currently running for governor in the Empire State.

Stossel: The Truth About Organic Food and GMOs link

"Activists have convinced Americans that “organic” food is better—healthier, better-tasting, life-extending.
As a result, poor parents feel guilty if they can’t afford to pay $7 for organic eggs.
This misinformation is spread by people like Alexis Baden-Mayer, political director of the Organic Consumers Association. 

She says organic food is clearly better: “The nutrition is a huge difference.”
But it isn’t. 

Studies find little difference..."

Internal CDC docs on the agency's false Covid vaccine claims link

• Internal documents at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) show that Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) ignited quite the firestorm when he contacted the agency to point out serious Covid vaccine disinformation that their top officials and vaccine scientists had signed off on.
• I reported on the story last year after Massie produced audio recordings of CDC officials and scientists admitting the error to him, yet continued to publicly make the false claim: 
• that original studies proved Covid vaccines helped people who’d already had Covid. They didn’t.

Watch the story and listen to the CDC audio recordings here..."

Activist Claims Google, Apple Will Remove Twitter from Store - Louder With Crowder

Activist Claims Google, Apple Will Remove Twitter from Store - Louder With Crowder: 

But the government doesn’t even need to do anything. The fact is the private sector is more than happy to perform the censorship on behalf of the leftist authoritarians in the Biden Administration. Just as Twitter would regularly silence speech it didn’t like, the rest of Big Tech may already be gearing up to silence Twitter if the need arises.
