"U.S. drug overdose deaths have been steadily increasing since the 1990’s, fueled largely by abuse of prescription opioids. In recent years, illicit fentanyl has been killing Americans at a higher rate than heroin and prescription opioids."

As far as the Dems are concerned, this is good news. It just speeds up the population replacement efforts.

You know what’s odd, I haven’t see a single PSM telling kids to avoid drugs citing the increased deaths by fentanyl mixed in.

I’ve seen ten thousand silly and useless wear a mask PSM’s. I see a few dozen buy a lottery ticket commercials in NYS every day along with their get a shot hype daily.

It’s all part and parcel of the nihilism of western global managerialism to replace nations and cultures including the enslavement of the productive classes. Those consigned to meaninglessness in such banal and empty culture take up drugs which are all too available because of the open borders that establish and protect nations and cultures that give meaning to life.

I hope people understand how exactly the Ukraine mess is tied to all of this. It is about the prerogatives of idiocracy running the corrupt swamp culture in DC whose drug is the intravenous transfer of money that is purportedly appropriated for really good causes like supporting elites with Ukrainian flags in their social media icons.

A majority of these deaths are Republican voters.

“U.S. drug overdose deaths have been steadily increasing since the 1990’s, fueled largely by abuse of prescription opioids. In recent years, illicit fentanyl has been killing Americans at a higher rate than heroin and prescription opioids.”

Wrong. Prescription opioids are down more than 40% from their peak in 2011 and lowest level in 20 years.

The CDC misclassified all fentanyl and methadone deaths as prescription opioid deaths. This is why prescription opioids were blamed.

Wake up and stop accepting the CDC and their junk science. It’s not well designed and the numbers are often not peer reviewed
If you can’t see that CDC is a propaganda operation, you’ll be fooled ever time

“A majority of these deaths are Republican voters.”

How do you figure that? However they voted before, they’ll vote Dem now.

The reason for the free phones AND phone service is to assist Mexican Cartels with keep track of the people who owe them money for getting across the river.

If illegals can get to Mexico from over a hundred countries they can damn well find a court house for their ‘hearing’ a year later.

Break the cartels by stealing their business: Sell entry into the United States.

They will vote Dem now. But if you look at which states are the highest in DO deaths, the majority are red states. The biggest population sample that is affected is white males. Putting 2 and 2 together.

Here’s a question that bounces around in my mind every time I hear of a large drug bust.

We always hear the feds say the drug bust confiscated enough fentanyl to kill X million people, yet the yearly total is around 100K, so either the feds are doing a tremendous job with these drug seizures which limits the overdose rate to 100K or, this stuff is not as powerful as they claim?
