The 'horrific' reason fentanyl deaths
are going down
Posted By: OhioNick, 10/1/2024 3:33:54 PM
Deaths from fentanyl appear to be going down for the first time in a decade after reaching astronomic levels - but experts warn it's for 'horrific' reasons. They say the drug is simply running out of people to kill, after claiming the lives of over 500,000 Americans in the last decade. Drug overdoses killed about 107,000 Americans in the past year, down from a peak of 77,693 last summer. [SNIP] But Dr Caleb Banta-Green, an addiction expert at the University of Washington, said it could be because so many users are already dead.

Impeachable.
Biden decided to trade one of the world’s most dangerous arms dealers for a woke WNBA player to pander to what he thought was his base. There were plenty of warnings that this corrupt move would endanger Americans.
I warned that, “Biden undermined national security, freeing the ‘Merchant of Death’, an arms dealer with reported ties to Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, who had been busted trying to sell surface-to-air missiles to Marxist narcoterrorists who tried to sell 30,000 AK-47s to kill Americans.”
Now you’ll never guess what Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer freed by Biden, is up to now.
Hundreds of bereaved parents, siblings, children and others gathered Sunday at the Hangar 11 event hall in Tel Aviv for a memorial ceremony for families that lost loved ones at the October 7 Nova festival massacre, exactly a year ago. [SNIP] “I can’t digest that my beloved daughter was shot on her way home, while in her car. She had left the house to go to a beautiful festival, of music and peace,” said Orin Zach-Gantz, mother of Eden Zacharia, who was killed at the festival.
For too long we have harboured those who hate us. We are now a year on from the October 7 massacre that saw 1,200 innocent Israeli citizens tortured, raped and murdered by barbaric Hamas terrorists.
But for the 101 hostages that remain trapped in the hands of Hamas, including a Brit, the ordeal still isn't over. [SNIP] The response here in Britain to this evil attack exposed a profound sickness at the very heart of our society. Thousands immediately took to the streets here in the UK to celebrate the biggest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust.
The creeping normalization of Islamic terrorism by the media means that Islamic terrorist supporters celebrating the anniversary of Oct 7 are being rebranded in the blandest terms.

Pro-Palestinian rally in OKC’s Myriad Gardens is planned to mark ‘One Year of Resistance’ – The Oklahoman
Israel-Hamas war: Pro-Palestinian rally held in downtown LA as Oct. 7 anniversary nears – ABC7 Los Angeles
What is that ‘One Year of Resistance’? Why are there rallies on the anniversary of the worst Islamic massacre of Jews in centuries?
Chicago is functionally bankrupt. It’s also run by Mayor Brandon Johnson: an incompetent radical appointee of the CTU teachers’ union. The CTU demands included everything from free weight loss drugs to a $2.5 billion pay hike for a group of people who are less effective as educators than the Washington Generals were at playing basketball.
Union President Stacy Davis Gates said in early March that her proposed contract for 2024 to 2028 ‘will cost $50 billion and 3 cents.’
‘And so what?’ Davis Gates added. ‘That’s audacity. That’s Chicago.’

But Dr Caleb Banta-Green, an addiction expert at the University of Washington, said it could be because so many users are already dead.
Union members at the JBS Foods meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado, said hundreds of Haitian immigrants were lured to work at the plant on false promises.
"[They were told,] 'You can come here. You are going to have a very good job. And you don't have to worry about where you're going to sleep because the company is going to take care of that for you,'" alleges plant worker Tchelly Moise. [SNIP] "We are talking about eight or 10 people inside of one motel room, a small room with just one bed inside of it and one bathroom," said Moise.
ABC has been accused of deliberately limiting coverage of the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at a high-profile college football game.
The former president, 78, attended the highly-anticipated University of Alabama vs. University of Georgia college football game Saturday, despite major security measure concerns after two assassination attempts.
Social media users took to X to blast ABC - claiming the network deliberately avoided showing Trump and only put him on the screen for a mere six seconds.
It worked for Venezuela, it’s gonna work for California. [SNIP] Up next. State ownership of oil refineries.
The California Energy Commission, meantime, has offered a list of 12 options for policymakers to help manage the industry decline while keeping gasoline prices stable and supply levels high.
Beyond a minimum inventory mandate for gasoline storage, the possibilities include a limit on retail gasoline profit margins; a state lease or ownership of storage tanks and the gasoline that would fill them; a state lease or ownership of oceangoing tankers that hold emergency supplies of gasoline; and even a state takeover of one or more gasoline refineries.
Not only did the Biden-Harris administration decide to admit sanctioned Iranian dictators (responsible for the murder of Americans) and other enemies from around the world to attend the UN’s grand terror shindig in New York, but it conveniently served as a pretext for shutting down an outdoor Trump rally.
The Trump campaign had planned to host a rally in Wisconsin at an outdoor airport venue Saturday, but was told by the Secret Service that it did not have the manpower and assets to secure the venue while the United Nations General Assembly meeting was happening in New York.
Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the U.S.-Mexico border near Douglas, Arizona, on Friday, and a local sheriff who will greet her at the airport revealed a message he will give her.
Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels, who has served in his role as a border town lawman since 2012, told DailyMail.com that his home has been ravaged by President Joe Biden and VP Harris's border policies.
He described how the rural area has been swamped with deaths, tragedies and crime related to the border, and that the Biden-Harris agenda has caused irreparable damage.
Janet Jackson has claimed that Kamala Harris is not black - and that the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee has a white father.
Jackson, 58, made the shocking assertion in an interview with The Guardian, when asked on her feelings about the United States having its first female black president.
'Well, you know what they supposedly said?' the singer answered. 'She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.'
'Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.'

New Zealand’s navy has suffered its first peacetime ship loss since World War II when the $100 million multi-role support vessel HMNZS Manawanui ran aground off the southern coast of Upolu Island, Samoa, caught fire and eventually sank—triggering an environmental disaster in the process.
With all 75 passengers and crew evacuated, the vessel’s loss brings fresh scrutiny to the leadership under its openly lesbian commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray.
The Manawanui, originally built in Norway and repurposed for New Zealand’s Royal Navy with a substantial $103 million investment, was conducting a seabed survey mission when it hit a reef, according to maritime news outlet gCaptain.
Pope Francis has announced his intention to make 21 new cardinals on December 8, among whom is the pro-LGBT Dominican friar Timothy Radcliffe. In 2023, the pontiff chose the woke friar to open the Vatican Synod on Synodality, who began his words by confessing, “I am old, white, a Westerner, and a man! I don’t know which is worse.” (snip) “I have no doubt that God does call homosexuals to the priesthood, and they are among the most dedicated and impressive priests I have met,” he stated. (snip) In 2013, Father Radcliffe argued that gay sex can be “Eucharistic,” expressive of Christ’s self-gift in Holy Communion.
The art of the traditional signature is becoming a thing of the past thanks to the rise of online contracts, e-signatures and PIN numbers.
Surveys show that just a fifth of young adults aged 18 to 24 now have a personal signature, and a similar share of adults use their signature so infrequently, they can't produce the same one consistently.
And that matches what teachers are seeing.
Dr Lori Koerner, the assistant superintendent for the Riverhead Central School District in New York, told DailyMail.com: 'I have encountered too many secondary students and employment candidates who cannot sign documents relative to their onboarding process.'
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that she owns a Glock semi-automatic pistol.
Correspondent Bill Whitaker said, “A hard left turn here, but you recently surprised people when you said that you are a gun owner and that if someone came into your house they would get shot.” Harris said, “That is not the first time I’ve talked about it.”Whitaker said, “What kind of gun do you own and when and why did you get it?”
Harris said, “I have a Glock, and I’ve had it for quite some time. And I mean, look, Bill, my background is in law enforcemen
SWANNANOA, North Carolina — Hundreds of special operations personnel in North Carolina have formed their own homegrown rescue and supply operation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after they grew tired of waiting for the federal government to get its act together.
The Post found an all-volunteer operation being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership with ruthless efficiency and military precision.
“Who’s FEMA?” ex-Green Beret Adam Smith derisively responded when asked about the agency’s presence on the ground since the deadly storm ravaged the rural western part of the state.(Photo) “This disaster has definitively proven without a shadow of a doubt FEMA’s incompetence and incapability,” he said, noting that the agency
On Friday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that votes cast for a pro-ranked-choice voting constitutional amendment in the 2024 election will count — even though nearly 38,000 signatures supporting the amendment proposal were duplicates.
In its decision, the Grand Canyon State’s high court rejected a challenge seeking to have votes cast for Proposition 140 voided after a lower court special master disclosed that 37,657 pairs of signatures gathered in support of the measure were duplicates. As previously argued by the Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AZFEC), the finding “place[s] Proposition 140 thousands of signatures under the constitutionally required signature threshold to qualify for the [November] ballot.”
Of all the results from the latest I&I/TIPP poll, the most unsettling has to be that voters think Kamala Harris is at least as much of a fiscal and economic conservative as Donald Trump.
Our latest poll, taken of 997 likely voters, finds that more voters say they trust Harris (who’s already announced $4 trillion in tax hikes) than Trump to cut taxes by a 48%-45% margin. Among the crucial independent voters, the margin is even greater – 49% to 36%.
That’s not all.
More trust Harris to bring about energy independence, 48%-47%. Trump is essentially tied with Harris on growing
NBC News chief Washington correspondent Andrea Mitchell said Sunday on “Meet the Press” that Vice President Kamala Harris has to “double down” on doing serious interviews because she is not polling well with male voters.
Mitchell said, “They have to double down on doing more interviews and serious interviews because what I’m hearing from Democratic and Republican business people and a lot of men. She has such a big problem with men. I think there’s an undercount of the Trump vote. I think there’s misogyny in all of this, black and white men, big problem.”
Kamala Harris encountered some unexpected pushback during her 60 Minutes interview after being asked to explain her economic policies, causing her to fall flat on her face.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Harris, expecting an easy interview, sat down with host Bill Whitaker to discuss her campaign for President and her policies, which are unknown to many Americans. She began by uttering nonsensical remarks about the Middle East as all-out war threatens to break out in the region.
“The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including
President Biden uses a vulgar nickname for former President Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, according to a forthcoming book.
“That f—king a—hole” is how Biden, 81, refers to Trump, 78, behind closed doors, CNN reported Tuesday in a preview of Bob Woodward’s tome “War,” out next week.
In public, Biden usually refers to Trump in roundabout ways, such as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” — when the incumbent deigns to mention the 45th president at all.
The president’s hot temper and penchant for profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021 that Biden regularly f-bombed West Wing aides in meetings,
Volunteers in one tiny North Carolina town have revealed a disturbing incident that unfolded Sunday night as the region tries to recover from Hurricane Helene.
Videos have emerged on social media showing an unidentified helicopter with pilots wearing military-style headgear sabotaging direly needed supplies at a United Cajun Navy distribution site in Burnsville despite volunteers in a seemingly deliberate act of sabotage despite volunteers allegedly designating the area as a “no-fly, no drop” zone just hours before.
Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida on Monday for reportedly not taking her calls regarding federal storm relief efforts as a second powerful hurricane bears down on Florida. "People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations…is just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish," Harris charged on Monday. "It is about political gamesmanship, instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first."
