Biden Admin to Back Needle Exchange Programs!!! President Joe Biden's administration is launching a new plan to tackle the rising number of drug overdose deaths, which includes setting up clean needle exchange programs and delivering fentanyl testing strips to drug users around the country. Between 1999 and 2019, 840,000 Americans died of drug overdoses, according to a report released Wednesday by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). According to some estimates, the number of non-fatal overdoses is 20 to 30 times higher. Over nine million Americans abused painkillers last year. Overdoses claimed the lives of nearly 100,000 of those nine million Americans. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra told NPR regarding combating these overdoses, "We are willing to go places where our ideas and dispositions have not permitted us to go [previously]." According to NPR, the federal government will now directly sponsor harm reduction initiatives, which provide care and assista...

  Republicans Seem To Have Stopped The Savagery In Two Special Elections!!! Special elections for state legislatures are an interesting indicator of partisanship. That wasn't always the case in the late twentieth century when savvy local candidates and notables frequently persuaded citizens to vote across party lines. Local special elections, however, are a proxy for national opinion in this century of increased party polarization and straight-ticket voting. Consider the results of the two extraordinary legislative elections so far this year that have resulted in a change of parties. The first was on Aug. 17 in Connecticut's 36th state Senate district. This is Connecticut's wealthiest state Senate district, and possibly the wealthiest in the US. Greenwich, the super-rich town where Prescott Bush, the father, and grandfather of presidents, served as moderator of the Representative Town Meeting for 17 years, as well as New Canaan and the northern portion of Stamford, are all ...

  Washington & Lee University Students Were Banned From Passing Out Flyers In Support Of Glenn Youngkin. According to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, students at Washington & Lee University (W&L) in Lexington, Virginia, were warned to stop distributing out posters in support of the state's Republican gubernatorial candidate, Glenn Youngkin. Lillian Gillespie, president of W&L's College Republicans branch, remarked, "I was astonished when I found out that we couldn't distribute campaign materials on campus." "I believe that by making this story public, students on all sides of the aisle will feel more empowered and free." According to FIRE, a university administrator told the student group that they could not advocate for candidates who were actively running for office and falsely blamed the school's tax-exempt status for the censoring. W&L is now being urged to "quickly say that it will allow student clubs ...

  We Must Stop Facebook From Meddling With Our Elections!!! You most likely recall where you were on November 8, 2016. And you undoubtedly recall what you witnessed that evening, the American political establishment imploding in real time. We saw Wolf Blitzer and John King anxiously circling counties where Hillary Clinton could, just perhaps, be able to scrape out enough votes to win. We witnessed sobbing journalists and producers, unable to comprehend what had just occurred. And we witnessed Donald Trump, the new president-elect, deliver an incredible victory speech. What we didn't see was the behind-the-scenes network of Democrat operatives, legislators, nonprofit leaders, and tech millionaires vowing to never do it again. Let's fast forward four years to the presidential election of 2020. We were told that the never ending pandemic required states to modify or disregard election regulations. As hundreds of millions of blank ballots were mailed out, many to those who had not ...

  The Biden Administration Details Plan To “Quickly” Vaccinate 28 Million Children!!! The Biden administration announced its proposal to vaccinate around 28 million children aged 5 to 11 years old 'soon,' pending approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The vaccine, which does not prevent Covid-19 transmission, will be available at pediatricians' offices, local pharmacies, and possibly even schools, according to the White House. The FDA is expected to approve the Pfizer vaccine for children, who are the least likely to become seriously ill or die from the virus, in a matter of weeks, according to the Associated Press. According to the announcement, the White House has secured enough vaccines to provide more than 25,000 doses to pediatricians and primary care physicians who have already signed up to deliver the vaccine, and the country now has enough Pfizer vaccine to vaccinate roughly 28 million children who will be eligible soon, indicating that this will not ...

  Mayorkas Basically Abolished ICE!!! The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency was effectively dismantled by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over a two-week period, from September 30 to October 12. The elimination of the agency that apprehends and deports illegal aliens has become a rallying cry for the far left, and it has been endorsed by several Democratic presidential candidates – but not Joe Biden. The ICE headquarters on 12th St. S.W. in Washington, D.C. is still there. There are still dozens of field offices scattered across the country. The agency's 10,000 employees are still getting paid. However, the agency's immigration enforcement functions have all but vanished as a result of two memos issued by Mayorkas. To be clear, ICE wasn't doing much before Mayorkas' edicts - agents were making one arrest every two and a half months on average – but now it's official: ICE has been instructed to stand down. Mayorkas' first memo, Guide...

  A Leftist Millionaire Might Fund Associated Press Climate Change Reporting!!! According to Axios, James Murdoch, the son of billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and his wife Kathryn are close to an agreement to establish an Associated Press climate reporting branch. According to two sources familiar with the talks, the Murdochs will make a multimillion-dollar investment in the Associated Press as part of the arrangement. The funds will be used to establish a new Associated Press climate reporting center, which will employ 20 reporters. According to Axios, the new climate branch at the AP would apparently have other contributors in addition to the Murdochs. The Quadrivium Foundation, which James and Kathryn Murdoch co-founded in 2014, will make their investment. On its website, the group notes, "We look for programs that address the core causes of problems and where single acts can result in several beneficial consequences." "We place a higher value on the potential ...

  The UK Is Trying To Use MP Assassination To Call For Social Media ID Verification System!!! Speaker of the UK Parliament's House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, has backed measures to eliminate internet users' anonymity, connecting threatening communications received by politicians online with their overall safety, particularly in light of last week's tragic stabbing of an MP. Hoyle's remarks come in the wake of the assassination of Conservative MP David Amess, which is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack, with the suspect's objectives tied to Islamist radicalism. The suspect, a British citizen of Somali ancestry, was sent to the Prevent scheme several years ago as a strategy to reduce the risk of terrorist radicalization. At this moment, it's unclear whether the suspect had previously targeted his victim on social media or why the link is being made. However, some high-ranking officials, including Hoyle and Home Secretary Priti Patel, are using the t...

The Assassination Of MP David Amess Shows That Lefty Politics Are A Threat To Democracy!!! The assassination of Conservative MP David Amess is undeniably an attack on democracy. The fact that political violence has taken a disturbing turn is a deeply unsettling reality in British public life. We have seen far too many violent attacks on public figures since the death of Labour MP Jo Cox in 2016. Previously, the assassination of a political person was far simpler to comprehend than the assassination of Jo Cox, David Amess, or a parliamentary aide by a guy targeting Liberal MP Nigel Jones in 2000. Until recently, the violent killing of every serving MP – Ian Gow in 1990, Sir Anthony Berry in 1984, Robert Bradford in 1981, and Airey Neave in 1979 – was linked to the Northern Ireland conflict. Nobody questioned why they were killed, and there was no need to argue about who was to blame for their awful end. Acts of political violence in contemporary times, in contrast to the past, frequentl...

  Biden Says We Need More Moms in the Workforce to Compete Globally!!! President Joe Biden paid a visit to a Connecticut childcare center on Friday to promote his multibillion-dollar spending bills that would support child and elder care. The president said that his "Build Back Better" bill was focused on human infrastructure in order to resurrect the economy. "How can we compete in a world when millions of American parents, particularly mothers, are unable to work?" Biden enquired. "Because they can't afford child or elder care?" you might wonder. The cost of childcare in America, according to Biden, makes it difficult for both parents to work. If his budget recommendations were implemented, he guaranteed that no middle-class family would spend more than 7% of their income on child care. "That will assist parents in re-entering the workforce and making ends meet," Biden added. Biden warned that 12 years of public education was no longer suff...

  Dems listening To Left-Wing Activists Instead Of Voters Is A Recipe For Disaster!!! Even though he's stating blatantly obvious things, the political sage who's all the rage right now, 30-year-old Democratic consultant David Shor, is making a stir. Things like: To win elections, Democrats should talk about popular issues rather than unpopular issues. They should make promises to do things that people want rather than things that don't appear to matter. The point is, liberals are starting to recognize that they need to hear these self-evident truths. They can see the iceberg ahead of them in November 2022, and they only have a few months to change course before their party becomes the Titanic, and their careers vanish like Leonardo DiCaprio's body into the frigid waters. And you get the idea that Kate Winslet's Rose would roll her eyes and kick them right off the raft into the North Atlantic if top Democratic politicians tried to address the crime epidemic by arguin...

  John Ratcliffe Pleased CIA Following His Lead on China Threat!!! In a recent interview with Breitbart News, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe expressed support for the Central Intelligence Agency's establishing of a section focused on the Chinese threat, adding that the action is in line with what he started during the Trump administration. In the interview, Ratcliffe said, "I'm delighted they're coming around to our way of thinking on this and being honest about China as the threat that they genuinely are." Critics of the Trump administration had accused him of focusing on China to downplay the threat from Russia at the time, but he claimed the CIA's move proves his fears were well-founded. In recent weeks, bipartisan anxiety has grown as China has increased its military activities near Taiwan, a self-governing island with a strong democratic government and a strong informal connection with the United States that China deems to be part...

  Joe Biden is expected to meet Pope Francis this month!!! The Vatican Nuncio to the United States has confirmed that President Joe Biden will almost probably meet with Pope Francis when he visits Rome on October 30-31. “It would be an abnormality if he did not meet the pope while in Rome,” said Archbishop Christophe Pierre, especially since Biden is the first Catholic president since John F. Kennedy. Archbishop Pierre is assisting the Holy See in preparing for Vice President Joe Biden's first visit to the Vatican as president, which means navigating a "difficult scenario" due to the Democratic Party's abortion agenda, according to Pierre. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who drove the House approval of the most radical pro-abortion legislation ever introduced in Congress, received a private audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican on Saturday. Pelosi, a Catholic, described the passage of the Women's Health Protection Act as a "very exciting day....

  Taliban Brags That The Biden Administration Will Deliver Aid to Afghanistan!!! The Taliban terrorist group announced on Sunday that the Obama administration has agreed to give humanitarian help to Afghanistan's newly established Islamic Emirate. The announcement came after the first direct conversations between the former rivals since the haphazard pullout of US soldiers at the end of August, according to the Associated Press (AP). According to the Associated Press, the Taliban expressed satisfaction with the Doha, Qatar negotiations, claiming that the exchanges "went well," with Washington promising not to tie humanitarian help to formal recognition of the Taliban. The US made it plain that the negotiations were not a prelude to recognition of the Islamic terrorist group, which surged to power on Aug. 15 when the US-backed government fell apart. Even as internal bloodshed continues to wrack the country, State Department spokesman Ned Price described the talks as "...
