SNIP

The federal government says the highly addictive and lethal synthetic drug has quickly become the deadliest drug in the nation. While help is available, it is outpaced by the magnitude of misery on the streets. Homeless addicts in Los Angeles can be seen sprawled on sidewalks or passed out in alleys. Others peddle tiny doses and puffs of smoke to the desperate seeking their next high.

Just like the opium dens in 19th century China.

That album was great, and that song is still relevant today.

Don't blame the inanimate object. It takes a long sequence of complex actions to become an addict. Despite an IQ higher than many Demonrats, there are not many canines addicted to fentanyl, due in part to the lack of opposable thumbs. Maybe we should blame opposable thumbs. At least those are animate.

I can thank my father’s alcoholism for my teetotalism, but not everybody is that fortunate.

Unfortinately they are engineering drugs to maximize the odds of addiction from the getgo. You may as well blame them for not seeing their own future.

The main reason for taking drugs is that our society is bereft of joy and meaning. If we are to fix this, before we have 300+ million casualities, that is what we have to bring back.

It’s tragic that Satan has been able to exploit the open-borders policies of George W. Bush and the Democrats, and destroy so many lives.

President Trump was trying to put a stop to this.

Perhaps a WEF / Georgia Guidestones (gone) population-reduction goal is more drug addicts with shorter life spans, who won’t be able to collect welfare nor Social Security? /shiny side out

Maybe that's a goal of Klaus Schwab and The Great Reset?

I can see making society joyless and without hope as part of the plan of depopulation. Get people to do themselces in.

Yep

No jobs, can’t buy or sell, can’t travel, constantly harangued by idiotic mandates of clot shots, minimized resources.........

You’ll own nothing and you won’t be happy (the real truth)

This is yet another action to help murder more people. All democrat actions and policies, as well as their inactions, are designed with one thing in mind: to kill more people.

Real joy and hope come from one source only, and that is from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The joy and hope He gives us does not depend on our surroundings or situation, but endures all.

It wouldn’t surprise me if that’s not exactly what it is.

Purposely leaving open a porous border KNOWING that this tool of death is coming across that same border.

The Leftists have been working, along with the spirit of antichrist, to destroy Christianity right here in America.

1. Covid
2. The “cure” for Covid aka the shot
3. Fentanyl
4. Murderers from south of the border
5. No prosecution of BLM/Antifa murders

ALL of this is the result of dimrats in power and will lead to de population.

Maybe States could issue permits for open/safe “Medical-Fentanyl” doses and tax the sales?

Everybody wins!

“The Leftists have been working, along with the spirit of antichrist, to destroy Christianity right here in America.”

In politics, I used to think there were leftists and the good guys. The Leftists are everyone in politics.

I’m not so sure we are right in assuming there exists natural desire to be free, i.e. to embra ce the founding principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, each concept of which is most often ignored, misunderstood, and/or despised.

Yet that assumption has guided national and foreign policy for centuries. The assumption should be that most people desire servitude to their passions, and that only a remnant know what it means to be free. That remnant is large, but does not have borders. It does not include the elites in DC who make a pretense of those principles.

Drug abuse and homelessness are but two obvious symptoms of servitude, but in truth, the avarice present in billion dollar arms deals and bailouts is no less a form of servitude.

The Christian will know how to take care of things, locally and with family. The rest will muddle along or get caught up in ways that mean everything but true freedom.
