Investigators found odd, little pills buried in the pockets of Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel on Oct. 7. They were later identified as the drug Captagon, a powerful, synthetic stimulant. Captagon gained international notoriety in 2015 when it was discovered to be used by ISIS fighters to suppress fear and fatigue prior to carrying out terrorist operations. Now, because it’s cheap, as well as easy to make and smuggle, Captagon and its counterfeits are likely to remain a favorite tool of extremist militant groups to enhance their soldiers’ violent tendencies. Some reports have even labeled Captagon as “the jihadists’ drug,”...

The drug decriminalization wave that swept across America's most liberal cities has fallen short of its promises of improving drug addiction recovery and overdose deaths. Beginning in the mid-2010s and making a significant uptick since 2020, drug decriminalization was sold by politicians and liberal activists as a way to combat substance-use disorder by treating it as a disease rather than a crime. The increase in 2020 was spurred by the activism following the murder of George Floyd, who had ingested both fentanyl and methamphetamine, the most prominent drugs found in overdose victims. Major cities across the country, including Philadelphia, Seattle,...

(LifeSiteNews) — Father James Altman and Liz Yore once again joined John-Henry Westen in this week’s episode of Faith & Reason, where they discuss the United Nations’ (UN) recent report on decriminalizing sex with minors, the “sex change” of Chris Tyson, who is the sidekick of famous YouTuber “MrBeast,” and more. In March, the UN released a document that called for the decriminalization of sex with minors, prostitution, drug use, and abortion. According to a principle listed in the document, consensual sex should not be criminalized based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or age. Speaking specifically about sex with minors,...

As tripping becomes normalized and legal in the coming decade, the pace of change will only accelerate. There will be more openness to new ideas, both brilliant and insane. Commercial availability will also invigorate the market for synthetic religious experiences.Having seen people gobble up hallucinogens in various contexts, I’m not particularly bothered by the substances themselves. The physical effects are negligible—fatality rates are basically...

New Jersey voters approved a measure in November to legalize recreational marijuana. More than three months later, Gov. Phil Murphy still hasn't signed a bill to make it happen... The purported holdup has been Murphy's concern that the proposed law hasn't specified uniform penalties for underage users. Last week, state Sen. Nilsa Cruz-Perez, D-Camden, and state Sen. Nick Scutari, D-Union, introduced a "cleanup" bill to address Murphy's concerns... The cleanup bill is slated to be heard in committee in Trenton on Monday. It must pass both the Assembly and the Senate — and there is no guarantee it will —...

The Republican Party in Arizona’s largest county voted Saturday to censure the widow of the late Sen. John McCain after she endorsed Democrat Joe Biden. The state GOP is planning a similar vote later this month.

The measure also accused Cindy McCain of supporting "leftist causes" including gay marriage, larger government and "others that run counter to Republican values." Cindy McCain has acknowledged suffering a three-year addiction to pain medicine from 1989 to 1992 and...

After telling Variety that she’s contemplating leaving the United States if President Donald Trump wins re-election, rocker Stevie Nicks says there wouldn’t have been a Fleetwood Mac if she had not had an abortion. “If I had not had that abortion, I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac,” said Nick in a recent interview with The Guardian. The singer ended her unborn child’s life in 1979 while she was dating Don Henley of The Eagles. “There’s just no way that I could have had a child then, working as hard as we worked constantly. And there were...
