Don’t Be Shocked if Michelle Obama Sneaks Her Way Into 2024 Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

Biden won’t debate. Can’t. Our codger-in-chief can’t even read the prewritten script in front of him fast enough to pronounce the words. . .

Coming back now — Obama. Not him. HER! . . .

Over one year ago, summer of 2022, she was in NYC meeting several big hedge CEOs, and said, “I am running, and I am asking for your support.”

The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go. Drop out. It’s like who else is there? . . .

A Joe flop-out offers probability Michelle could wiggle in. Obama’s negotiating to make that happen. (Read more from “Don’t Be Shocked if Michelle Obama Sneaks Her Way Into 2024 Race” HERE)

Facing the Fentanyl Crisis: Unveiling the Reality Through Statistics and a Mother’s Call to Action

/1 Comment/in , /by

In the grip of a relentless surge in fentanyl-related deaths, a public health crisis has unfolded, leaving families shattered and communities grappling with the devastating consequences. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid with unparalleled potency, has become a central player in the opioid epidemic, causing an alarming rise in fatalities worldwide.

While fentanyl was originally developed for pain management under the close supervision of a prescribing doctor, the chemical makeup has been mimicked and the drug has been pouring into our communities taking the lives of children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and friends.

Fentanyl’s Stealthy Onslaught: A Closer Look at the Statistics

According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), fentanyl has emerged as a synthetic opioid that surpasses morphine and heroin in potency. Its chemical makeup has been replicated, infiltrating communities and claiming lives with unprecedented speed. Fentanyl poses an imminent threat in seemingly-safe American communities, contributing to a surge in opioid-related deaths globally.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a concerning global increase in opioid-related deaths, with the United States, Canada, and Europe experiencing a significant impact from fentanyl. Preliminary data from the United States indicates that synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl, were involved in over two-thirds of all overdose deaths. Canada witnessed more than 6,000 opioid-related deaths in 2022, with fentanyl as the primary factor. European countries, as identified by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), have witnessed a notable rise in fentanyl-related deaths.

A Mother’s Journey Through Grief and Awareness

Amidst the harrowing statistics, Tracy Norris shares her personal journey through grief and awareness in her book, Shadows of Grief. Reflecting on the tragic loss of her son Marcus to a decade-long battle with addiction and eventual fentanyl overdose, Tracy’s experience offers a heartbreaking glimpse into the struggles that accompany loving and parenting a son suffering from addiction.

Tracy’s experience serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of fentanyl on families. As she navigates the complexities of grief, she sheds light on the importance of understanding the whole truth about addiction and the role fentanyl plays in exacerbating the crisis. Through her journey, Tracy emphasizes the need for awareness, compassion, and healing, challenging societal perspectives on addiction.

Below is an excerpt of Tracy’s book, due for release on March 10th:

This book is a personal reflection of my journey raising and loving a child who developed a chemical dependency and lost his battle with addiction. I walk through many of the red flags, near misses, adventures, heartache, and chaos that comes with loving an addict. The years of caring, praying, and fighting for the sanity and sobriety of my child were traumatizing, not only for myself, but for my husband, our other children, and our entire family. The pain of watching Marcus’s slow decline and death has not only shaken me to my very core, but it has also changed me as a person. Marcus’s preventable death has been debilitating for me. It has shifted all my perspectives and left me challenging every choice that I have made as a parent and who I am as a person. My journey to healing is very much still in progress, and I suspect that I will continue to move toward complete healing for the rest of my life. I believe that Marcus’s story—his battle with addiction and drug abuse, his fight for recovery, and ultimately the loss of his life—is only wasted if the journey stops with his passing.

Moving Forward: A Call to Action

As communities grapple with the fentanyl crisis, these statistics and personal stories underscore the urgency of collective action. Shadows of Grief serves as a testament to the profound consequences of fentanyl and the ongoing crisis. An effective approach to reducing the impact of the fentanyl crisis would include cooperation with law enforcement, comprehensive harm reduction strategies, and addressing the fentanyl crisis necessitates collaboration across borders and sectors. Only through awareness, education, and a united front can we hope to curb the rising tide of fentanyl-related deaths and provide support for those navigating the challenging path of recovery.

Shadows of Grief is available for pre-sale HERE.

How TikTok Killed the Preteen Era

/1 Comment/in , /by

In a now-viral TikTok video, former Sephora employee Rianna Smith recounted the time a nine-year-old walked into her store looking for Babyfacial, a chemical exfoliant from the high-end brand Drunk Elephant marketed to minimize “the look of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles.”

Smith asked the child whether she had used a chemical exfoliant in the past, to which the child responded that she uses the Ordinary Peeling Solution, an anti-aging acid peel, “daily.” According to Smith, this wasn’t a unique experience, revealing that while working at Sephora she encountered “15-year-olds… com[ing] in with chemical burns” caused by harsh skincare products. . .

Anti-aging retinoids and chemical exfoliants for children sound utterly absurd on their face, but dermatologists are having to step in and clarify the obvious for one reason: influencers.

More chronically online than even Gen Z, Gen Alpha, or the iPad generation, is uniquely susceptible to social media consumerism. Twenty-year-old influencers with beauty brand deals go TikTok and Instagram viral showing off their skincare routines and OOTDs (outfit of the day), causing their impressionable preteen followers to act, look, and shop like young adults.

In one TikTok, a mother recorded her daughters showing her what’s on their “Christmas wish list” at Sephora, which included luxury fragrances and a $68 Drunk Elephant moisturizer.

Baffling Symptoms Point to a Single, Deadly Disease

/1 Comment/in , /by

As we know all too well from the onslaught of COVID-19 in 2020, the symptoms of a disease can be baffling. With COVID, some victims had painful symptoms while others had little more than an impending feeling that something wasn’t right. Was it just a bad cold or the flu? The symptomatology was so varied that it defied easy diagnosis. Thankfully for the world, a single test emerged that could prove with near-total confidence whether or not one had the dreaded virus.

The same idea may be applied to a body politic, particularly a constitutional republic such as ours. An everyday litmus test can be applied: How well does the nation function in accordance with its constitutional and common laws, which preserve the liberties and rights of its citizenry as a common body?

If judged accordingly, our country is experiencing a hundred different symptoms that may appear baffling if they are considered individually.

Consider the IRS attacks on Tea Party groups ahead of the critical 2012 elections. At first glance, it may seem like a government agency went rogue. But then recall how the Department of Health and Human Services, around the same time, used the hammer of regulations and fines against the Little Sisters of the Poor for holding true to the right to life. And we mustn’t forget how the Obama administration spied on reporters and used the Espionage Act against whistleblowers. . .

Is the federal takeover of the U.S. education system, which began in 1965 and culminated in 2010 with the takeover of the student loan industry, a single symptom or something far worse? When viewed alongside the rise of diversity, equity, and inclusion cult, critical race theory, and the demonization of our nation’s founding principles, a citizen-doctor could be forgiven for becoming alarmed at the cumulative effects of those seemingly disparate symptoms.

This Is the Case Feds Should Have Brought Against Hunter Biden in the First Place

/1 Comment/in , /by

Hunter Biden’s indictment on tax charges already is eliciting howls on the left, who feel the case has been “politicized.”

But the details show that the real scandal was the sweetheart deal Hunter was offered in the first place, not what he faces now.

Hunter “spent . . . money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” the indictment states. . .

Hunter Biden went out of his way to avoid paying taxes and “subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company, Owasco, PC,” the feds allege.

It was a “scheme” to not pay $1.4 million to Uncle Sam but instead give it to Chastity at the Gentlemen’s Club. (Read more from “This Is the Case Feds Should Have Brought Against Hunter Biden in the First Place” HERE)

Why Nikki Haley Would Be a Disastrous Choice for the GOP

/1 Comment/in , , /by

It seems that former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is bounding ahead in a hypothetical matchup with Joe Biden. Although Haley has not been able to make significant headway against Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who is now polling over 60% as his party’s preferred presidential candidate in the primaries, Haley would beat Biden by the largest margin among active Republican candidates — possibly by as much as 10 points. . .

Haley has been doing her publicity with massive assistance from the Republican-neoconservative establishment. The Wall Street Journal has all but endorsed her already. The New York Post and the rest of the Murdoch media empire can’t say enough nice things about her. In fact, they can’t mention her without lapsing into spasms of rapture while railing against Trump.

I recently listened to a conversation on Fox News between former U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and Republican consultant Karl Rove. It was hard to tell which mood was more dominant in this animated conversation: profound loathing for Trump or blissful adoration of Haley. The two dispositions usually coexist in Haley’s fans, who view her as the top-drawer candidate for anti-Trump Republicans. . .

The coup is being engineered with noticeable support from socially liberal business tycoons and Democratic donors who support a neocon foreign policy coupled with corporate tax cuts. (What else is new?) Haley’s campaign is starting to look like a takeover by wealthy members of the center left.

It’s also hard not to notice that Haley has spent years giving herself a biographical and ideological makeover. Although she started out politically as a white Southern Evangelical of Indian ancestry, in recent years, she has dwelled on her traumatic youth as “a little brown girl” whose Sikh father wore a turban and tried to preserve his Indian identity. Haley also went from honoring her South Carolina background to more recently criticizing her one-time white neighbors as bigots. (Ironically, those white neighbors belonged to the group that gave her a majority of their votes.) (Read more from “Why Nikki Haley Would Be a Disastrous Choice for the GOP” HERE)

Kamala Harris v. Gavin Newsom: The Coming Democratic Civil War

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Democratic Party is united — for now. Fear and loathing of Donald Trump keeps the various Democratic factions in a precarious peace. But labor v. environment, Jewish vote v. Muslim vote, and center-left v. hardcore progressivism cannot remain at bay forever. The fiercest battle may well be the looming civil war between Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the party leadership once President Biden leaves the stage.

And it won’t be pretty.

When Biden named Harris his running mate, he conferred on her heir-apparent status. The pick made sense. VP nominees are mostly about pulling together party divisions or offsetting the nominee’s weaknesses. As an old, white male Catholic, Biden running with a minority female checked some important identity boxes. And, in 2020 with a campaign hobbled due to covid restrictions, Harris did just fine. The “not Trump” campaign worked.

However, given an opportunity to establish herself as the next Democratic hope, Harris has proven rather maladroit. Something about her isn’t quite right. Her speeches are mediocre, with poorly thought-out ad libs. Her awkwardness with voters is positively Hillary Clintonesque. After spending her life in the progressive hothouse of California, Harris has shown little ability to build appeal in the other more centrist 49 states. Given the unpleasant portfolio of illegal immigration early in the administration, she failed to distinguish herself. If she has any real policy responsibility today, it’s not apparent. . .

While Newsom fell in line endorsing Biden, he has ramped up his campaign to be the “Next Big Thing” for Democrats. His media appearances are unabated, and his public relations team is working overtime. A foreign policy trip to China to meet Xi Jinping, various progressive policy initiatives passed by a pliant legislature, all resemble the Gov. Ron DeSantis Republican playbook in Florida. Newsom will debate DeSantis at the end of November in a putative dry run for 2028. (Read more from “Kamala Harris v. Gavin Newsom: The Coming Democratic Civil War” HERE)

Spirited Young Men Should Stay Out of Biden’s Military

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden’s Pentagon—faced with the prospect of a three front proxy war against Russia, China, and Iran—has made recent overtures of good will to America’s spirited young white men.

In a recent ad entitled “First Jump: Be All You Can Be” the Army shows an all-white squad of paratroopers jumping from a helicopter into an open field. It is a shocking ad. Save for one black woman at the end, the ad is free of “diversity,” something nearly unheard of in today’s DEI advertising climate. One enterprising researcher did a survey of all 433 actors in the nationally aired advertisements during the 2022 Super Bowl. He discovered that 40 percent of those actors were black, despite blacks accounting for only 13 percent of the American population.

The Army’s latest television spot, for once, gives an honest portrait of America’s combat troops: all male and mostly white.

After years of woke “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” inspired ads—among which the ad “The Calling” featuring a soldier raised by two lesbian activists is the best example—the Army is back to trying to recruit spirited white men.

On the heels of this latest advertising push, the Army also sent out a letter to thousands of former soldiers who were kicked out over their refusal to get the experimental COVID vaccines. The letter announces that soldiers who received a dishonorable or other-than-honorable discharge over the vaccine can apply to have their records corrected. It also opens the door to these soldiers re-enlisting.

As liberals love to say: representation matters. The latest push to recruit white men and make peace with the conservative soldiers who were forced out over the COVID vaccine mandate is a sign that America’s liberal overlords find themselves in need of America’s despised “racists” and “conspiracy theorists.” Recruiting in the military has been down since 2020 and there are numerous cracks appearing in America’s ability to project power abroad.

The Destruction of the United States Is Intentional. Here’s What Will Happen Next.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

For just over two and a half years, Joe Biden and/or his puppet masters (see Barack Obama, Susan Price, Klaus Schwab, etc.) have been successfully driving the United States to destruction. The plan took a four-year detour when President Trump was at the helm. Now, thanks to what many believe was a stolen election, the plan to enslave our comfy pants-clad bottoms is back on.

The commies began the operation decades ago. As Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov warned, the college professors and civil rights leaders indoctrinated — or as Bezmenov calls it, demoralized — generations of Americans and convinced them to hate their nation and, frequently, themselves. The Soviets successfully infiltrated the black communities, convinced them they were less than, and let the anger seethe into subsequent generations. That is why we see highly educated and successful black folks like the Obamas, MSNBC’s Joy Reid, and the deranged Cori Bush screaming about racism, even though they are one-percenters. If systemic racism were real, how did these poor, indentured serfs get so far?

FACT-O-RAMA! Bezmonov, a KGB defector, described the Soviets’ four-part plan to conquer the United States without firing a shot. Step 1 was “Demoralization”: Demoralize Americans to the point that they refuse to believe their eyes — like how your rabid, pink-haired sister-in-law refused to believe we were being inundated with illegal immigrant caravans when Trump was in office because NBC headlines told her it was all just a right-wing conspiracy. Two and a half years later, our major blue cities are getting crushed. She was lied to, but she still watches NBC and thinks it’s real. As Bezmenov described, she can’t tell what is real and what is not.

Watching Bezmenov lay out the communists’ plan to take over the United States — and understanding how close the plan is to being successful — may be the most important seven minutes of your life. Please watch and share this with everyone who doesn’t want to start their day with a cricket smoothie. (Read more from “The Destruction of the United States Is Intentional.

Whaddya Know? Trump Was Right About Biden Family Corruption All Along

/0 Comments/in , /by

“The president should be held accountable,” then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sept, 24, 2019, just short of four years ago, opening a formal impeachment inquiry into then-President Donald Trump over a telephone call he made to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had just been elected president of Ukraine. “No one is above the law.”

Mrs. Pelosi initiated the impeachment investigation without a formal vote on the House floor by her colleagues, worried that she may put some of her swing-district members in peril on what amounted to flimsy evidence (a secondhand account from a whistleblower in the intelligence community who was not even on Mr. Trump’s call) to mount a historically partisan inquiry to oust a duly elected president.

Democrats at the time, drenched in self-adulation and righteousness, argued that if they didn’t move forward in impeaching Mr. Trump over reports he pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden on corruption allegations, they would be betraying, in the words of Rep. John Lewis, the civil rights icon, “the foundation of our democracy.” (Read more from “Whaddya Know? Trump Was Right About Biden Family Corruption All Along” HERE)
