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 ...
