The first wave began with increased prescribing of opioids in the 1990s, with overdose deaths involving prescription opioids (natural and semi-synthetic opioids and methadone) increasing since at least 19993. The second wave began in 2010, with rapid increases in overdose deaths involving heroin. The third wave began in 2013, with significant increases in overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, particularly those involving illicitly manufactured fentanyl5,6,7. The market for illicitly manufactured fentanyl continues to change, and it can be found in combination with heroin, counterfeit pills, and cocaine.

I have lost so many close friends since the second wave of the opioid crisis began in 2010. Opioids do not discriminate, they attack all different ages, sexes, and age groups. The worst part about opioids is the withdrawal symptoms are not just a mind thing, those addicted get physically sick, which makes them feel worst than having the flu and it takes a long time to feel better. Most people who take opioids still have to work or maintain their life and can’t be down for three to six months until they feel better. Thankfully, Suboxone was created to help people addicted to opioids deal with the withdrawal symptoms, but it is expensive, a lot of addicts don’t have health insurance, and some can’t take the medication because they are allergic to it. There is also a monthly shot called Vivitrol that blocks opioids and helps with withdrawals.

Now, to make matters even worst drug dealers are pressing pills that are pumped full of Fentanyl because it is much cheaper than opioids, but Fentanyl is very strong and it is killing more people than opioids.

Health officials in Montana said that there were at least eight overdose deaths between May 22-June 1st.

First responders discovered blue M30 pills in the vicinity of the victim, likely fakes laced with Fentanyl, a dangerous opioid 50-100 times stronger than morphine.

“Counterfeit pills that contain fentanyl are increasing in number nationally and are being taken by people who misuse prescription opioids as much as those who inject, smoke, or snort drug substances,” said the Montana Department of Health in a Tuesday statement.

Health officials stated that six of the victims were males and two were women. They all had a history of substance abuse and were known to have died from overdoses.

Fentanyl is responsible for a significant increase in overdose deaths across the country. It was responsible, according to the CDC, for around three-quarters of the record 107.622 fatal overdoses.

Montana had 87 deaths from fentanyl-related causes in 2017, a 112% increase from the 41 deaths it experienced in 2020.

According to the Montana Department of Justice and health officials, law enforcement has tried to keep up with the growing state threat by seizing more fentanyl during the first three months of the year than in the previous four years.

“The Department of Justice works to get fentanyl from the streets and continuing to monitor the crisis closely,” Montana Attorney-General Austin Knudsen stated Tuesday.

“Please do not take any pills not prescribed for you. Talk to your children about the extreme risks associated with opioids, and drug abuse and discuss any addictions with your doctor, because there are all types of treatment for opioids and other addictions that could save your life or one of your family members’ lives.

The radical left has falsely charged Trump with inciting the Capitol Riot for over a year. The upcoming televised hearings will show that their primary goal is to keep this riot alive in people’s heads, even though Americans have moved on.

Democrats and RINOs on the committee want to exploit the riot to get people to accept responsibility for Trump’s party and take back control of his actions. But, that doesn’t stop them from making other claims. One committee member even claimed they found evidence for incitement.

Jamie Raskin (D.Md.) stated that the select committee had evidence of more than incitement. According to the Washington Post.

Raskin claims the partisan committee has evidence of “concerted planning and premeditated activity” and that the forthcoming hearings will “tell the story of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election and block the transfer of power.”

Yawwwwwn…

Leftists are known for making claims that they have seen or have seen evidence that is not true.

Raskin seemed a little less certain about Trump’s involvement. “That’s the only way to really understand them all. ”

Raskin stated then that people should judge the relative roles played in different people’s lives.

This sounds completely different from what we’ve been hearing from this committee since its inception: that Trump was involved in an overthrow plot. Raskin admitted that they don’t know much about Trump and that the committee is just trying to blame him.

Raskin does not believe the committee can prove Trump was the cause of the riots or that they were part in a conspiracy.

Outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house, a man was arrested. The man was carrying a gun and claimed he was trying to kill Kavanaugh.

According to Karol Markowicz who broke the story, it is being reported by other outlets including The Washington Post.

Breaking: A man was arrested outside of Brett Kavanaugh’s residence around 1:45am last night. The man had a gun and said he was there to kill Kavanaugh. He was taken into custody without incident.

— Karol Markowicz (@karol) June 8, 2022

Another piece of information suggests that the man was arrested before he arrived at Kavanaugh’s home, although details are not clear. We do know that the man is from California and that it has something to do with Kavanaugh’s court-related leanings.

According to sources familiar with the investigation, the assassin mentioned Roe v. Wade’s leaked draft as the reason he wanted to kill.

“Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by SCOTUS signaling the court is preparing to overturn Roe. v. Wade …”

— Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) June 8, 2022

This man was not only carrying a weapon but also had burglary tools. It is clear that he wasn’t just a crazy individual running around with his mouth. He had an apparent plan to enter Kavanaugh’s home and kill him. However, law enforcement intervened to stop the plot from being carried out.

This is why you enforce laws about protesting outside of the homes and offices of judges. The DOJ has so far refused to comply. This leads to situations like these.

Matthew McConaughey made an emotional plea for gun ownership reforms during a White House press conference on Tuesday afternoon after a private meeting between President Joe Biden and McConaughey. The actor, 52, is a Uvalde native. On May 24, Salvador Ramos, 18, shot at Robb Elementary and killed 19 students and two teachers.

McConaughey stated that gun ownership should not be considered partisan, arguing that people in power have failed “to act.”

He said, “We need background checks”, while proposing solutions to outdated gun laws. “We must raise the minimum age for purchasing an AR-15 rifle from 21. These rifles should be kept in storage for a period of time. Red flag laws are needed and there should be consequences for those who misuse them.

“How is it possible that these people’s lives have been lost?” He reflected. “We must recognize that it appears something is different this time.”

McConaughey stated that it was crucial for elected officials from “both sides of the aisles” to communicate with one another in order to find solutions for the American people.

“We are now in a window that offers us a chance to make real change. He said that this window seemed like it could bring about real change and real change.

He said he remembered learning about responsible gun ownership while growing up in a small town in south Texas, approximately 80 miles from Austin.

McConaughey, after hearing about the devastation in his home town, said that he drove home and hugged his children tighter than the night before. McConaughey, his wife Camila Alves, and their three children drove to Uvalde on the next morning.

He said, “Even from inside our vehicle you could feel it in the town.”

After meeting with families who had lost loved ones at Robb Elementary, he shared the tragic stories of victims.

McConaughey recalls a conversation with Alithia’s father Ryan. Ryan remained composed and kept his emotions in check for the sake his family.

McConaughey recalled Ryan saying, “You should be strong for your spouse and children, because if that happens, it will not help them.”

Camila wore a pair green sneakers that belonged to Maite Yuleana, a ten-year old victim to the conference.

McConaughey stated, “These were the exact same Converse shoes on her feet that turned up to be the only clear evidence that can identify her after the shooting,” before he took the podium with a passionate request. McConaughey said, “Make her death matter.”

The gunman used an assault rifle to inflict injuries on at least 17 others before he was shot dead by responding authorities.

McConaughey stated that “responsible gun owners” are fed up with the Second Amendment and encouraged both sides to see the political problem above all else.

He said, “Let’s get to the common table that represents America.” “America, you and I — we’re not as divided as people tell us we are. No.”

He said, “We have to make choices and keep the traditions that will make real progress for the next generation. Let’s give everyone reason to believe the American dream is real. Make the right decisions on the issues that are before us. We begin by making laws.”

Uvalde’s shooting is now the third-most deadly school shooting in American History, following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting where 28 people were killed and the Virginia Tech shooting where 33 people were shot to death in 2007.

John Catsimatidis a billionaire businessman, owner of a supermarket chain and radio talk show host, predicted that the country’s economy would worsen. He claimed that a recession was completely preventable because he blamed the Biden administration, which refused to let America power itself.

Catsimatidis, who appeared on Fox Business Network’s Monday Mornings with Maria, discussed the country’s economic condition and record-high gas prices. She warned that the worst is yet ahead.

He said that “it will get worse”, which is very, very sad, and added that it was completely unnecessary.

It doesn’t have the to happen. He continued, “A recession doesn’t have to happen.

Catsimatidis is the chairman and CEO of Red Apple Group, Gristedes Foods and United Refining. He also blasted President Biden for his “obsession” in “not turning off the spigots to North America” — ignoring homegrown energy through domestic drilling.

He said, “We have oil for a hundred years.” “Let them open the spigots, and the price for crude oil will drop to 55, 60 or 65, perhaps half!”

The billionaire owner of a supermarket chain highlighted the absurdity of the current administration’s policies in this area.

Catsimatidis warned that raising interest rates by the Federal Reserve will not only bring down oil prices and prevent a recession, but also “wipe away the real estate industry [and] all other American industries.”

He claimed that “somebody” (the president) is trying to destroy America and called for Democrats to speak out.

He said, “I hope there are enough common-sense Democratic Senators to say, “Enough is enough; Why are we destroying America?”

He asked, “Do you know how much it has cost the American people to fuel their cars and eat healthier?” It’ll go higher with $120 oil.

Then, he pleaded with President Obama to use American energy resources and stop the U.S. from groveling before other countries, even those under U.S. economic sanctions.

He said, “I’m beg the White House; i am begging President Biden that enough is enough.” “I am begging the Democratic senators for enough.”

He said, “Turn on North America’s spigot; don’t go to Iran and beg for crude oil for $120.00 [and] making them richer.” “Don’t ask Saudi Arabia for crude oil, don’t go to Venezuela for crude oil. We have it.”

Catsimatidis, a multi-company owner, spoke out about the damage inflation can cause to companies like his.

He said that diesel fuel is used for 70% of all transport to grocery stores across the country. Diesel fuel is also used by factories that produce the food.

He noted the recent double-digit increase in diesel fuel prices and warned that food prices will continue to rise “unless” we take control.

He said, “It’s nothing to do with the food company.” It all comes back to rising oil prices, crude oil, as well as what’s going on in America today.

He said, “We are transferring our wealth from America to foreign countries.” “That’s exactly what we are doing.”

Catsimatidis called the situation “mind-boggling” and said that foreign countries could have elected Joe Biden to do a better job.

According to polls, Americans are reporting the highest levels of dissatisfaction about their financial situation in over 50 years.

The Consumer Price Index was at its highest point in 40 years in March. It was closely followed by the April inflation rate.

Jamie Dimon, chief of J.P. Morgan Chase, recently warned that turmoil is imminent for the U.S. economic.

Dimon stated, “Right now, it’s kinda sunny, things are going fine, everyone thinks that the Fed can handle them,” “That hurricane is just down the road, coming our way.”

He said, “We don’t know if this is a minor one oder Superstorm Sandy.” “You better brace yourself.”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed last week that he plans to reduce ten percent of his jobs at the electric carmaker due to a “super bad feeling about the economy.”

Catsimatidis, a Catsimatidis spokesperson, warned that inflation is “here to remain” since Americans continue to pay more for goods under the Biden administration.

Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, announced Tuesday that two additional members of the press team were to leave amid an ongoing staff shakeup.

Jean-Pierre stated that White House Rapid Response Director Mike Gwin, and White House Press Assistant Michael Kikukawa, would be departing to work in public affairs at U.S. Treasury.

Jean-Pierre stated, “On a sad note Michael Gwin, our dear friend, and colleague, will be leaving us to Treasury, where he’ll serve as deputy assistant secretary of Public Affairs.” Gwin served as White House director for Rapid Response over the past 16 months and has responded to some of the most difficult and challenging issues. Gwin is an indispensable member of this team despite these sometimes difficult stories. His moral clarity and poise are unfailing.

She continued, “And joining Gwin in the Treasury Department will our very own Michael Kikukawa where he will serve als a spokesperson.” Michael, also known to you all as Kiku is a strong and reliable engine in the press shop. His tireless work ethic and commitment to the mission of this group have been unsurpassed.”

The White House Press Team is currently undergoing a personnel shakeup in preparation for the midterm elections. Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary, resigned last month to take up a position as a MSNBC commentator.

Last week, the White House announced that Vedant Patel, assistant press secretary at the State Department was retiring to become principal deputy spokesperson. Amanda Finney, chief of staff at the press office was also leaving for a high-ranking communications position at the Energy Department.

Although the administration claims that the departures are routine, there are multiple media reports about inner turmoil at White House. This comes as Biden’s approval ratings plummet ahead of the midterms.

Dave Weigel is a Washington Post reporter who was caught red-handed after he retweeted a lighthearted joke about women. The tweet said that every girl was bi. It’s just a matter of figuring out if it’s sexual or polar.

Is it offensive? It’s certainly offensive. But, that’s what jokes are. Robby Soave asks, is it any more offensive than the joke about men refusing to go to therapy?

What is the difference between the joke that got Weigel suspended from The Washington Post, “all girls are bisexual or bipolar,” and the extremely popular “men would literally do X instead of going to therapy” joke? Should all the women who retweeted the latter lose their jobs?

— Robby Soave (@robbysoave) June 7, 2022

We documented the outrage from Felicia Sonmez, a Post reporter. She sent a mob after Weigel and demanded that the Post take action. He quickly deleted his retweet, and she offered a pointed apology. But, she continued to target him for many more days.

The Post has now suspended him. This is even more remarkable because Weigel was a man on the left who had mocked cancel culture in the past.

These new rules are a bit of a stink, don’t you think? It’s poetic to see someone who has pushed them being made to follow them. Although I don’t have anything to do with Weigel, I find him quite mild among left-wingers. However, the alligator may need to eat its handlers to keep this under control. Conservatives should allow this to happen in order to learn from the lessons.

Conservatives need to normalize not defending leftwing journalists who are forced to play by their own rules.

— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) June 7, 2022

As I mentioned in my first write-up about the situation, Weigel’s weakness is that you can’t bow to the mob. It won’t be enough and no one is ever interconnected enough (well, almost) to escape the mob’s wrath. Because the tenets and principles of woke-ism overlap so much that you will always be in violation of some new rule, no matter how much penance or penance you pay. Weigel made a mistake by apologizing. This is not because it’s wrong to apologize, but because there is a moral imperative to not feed into bad-faith actors who seek to destroy other people.

Sonmez is not content with the scalp she took and is moving on to her next target. Another Post writer stepped in to defend Weigel and is about to discover just how far management will go to appease far-left figures within the newsroom.

It’s hard for me to understand why the Washington Post hasn’t done anything about these tweets, in which one of its employees mischaracterizes his own actions and accuses a colleague of “clout chasing and bullying” for publicly objecting to sexism.

Is this who we are? https://t.co/GT95VUlSWr

Did you see that? This woman, who brutally bullied a man over an innocent joke, eventually getting him suspended, and putting his career in danger, now demands an apology from another man who dares to question her attacks. Worse, she wants Jose A. Del Real to be disciplined by Post just like Weigel.

Sonmez and others like him are consuming the unearned power that cowardly editors have given them. This is the path the Post would like to take, and they can do so, but it will eventually lead to their demise. They should continue doing what they’re doing.

The majority of Americans are worried about gasoline prices at $5 per gallon and the inflation-busting savings that are currently plaguing the economy. Democrats, however, have a single focus: January 6th.

This 17-month-old incident continues to stir the imagination of leftwing partisans and journalists all over the world. They don’t believe that the threat to the country is real (a few hundred rioters didn’t overthrow the government), but rather because they don’t have anything else to do when they head into the mid-term elections in November. Their Hail Mary is January 6. It’s all they have left. Without it, Joe Biden’s disasters both domestically and internationally are unimaginable to the American people.

The New York Times published a piece acknowledging this fact, noting that they are hoping to “recast the mid-term elections”.

Normal people would ask what role the Times claims Republicans played in the attack. Even if you believe that Donald Trump coordinated and was in control of those who entered the Capitol, it does not make them “Republicans” according to the mid-terms. It is Donald Trump.

As has been proven many times, there is no evidence that Trump knew what was coming or helped to plan it. Instead, the committee spends its time trying to make people believe it has connected dots that are only five dots apart. Their chief piece of evidence appears to be an internal memo that Trump surrogates drafted and discussed what was legal in regard to certification of the election.

However, objecting to an election being certified is legal and does not constitute a conspiracy to overthrow the government. How can I find out? Rep. Jamie Raskin (a member of the January 6th committee) objected to the certification of the 2016 elections.

The January 6th committee is full of hypocrites. It is not seeking to discover any important truth. Its existence is not about politics, but delivering Democrats what they want regarding elections. Raskin acknowledged this Monday, as he lobbied for the abolition of the Electoral College.

This is the silent part that’s being spoken out loud. It provides the best evidence yet that January 6th committee has been a partisan sham. The committee is not only trying to eliminate the Electoral College but its members also want to use their “findings” to support the case for the federalization of elections. This goal was set by the Democrats in Biden’s earlier tenure when it failed to win even 50 votes in Senate. They view the establishment of universal mail-in voting, the abolition of voter-ID, and other provisions such as same-day registration, as delivering a permanent Democrat minority.

This is the real purpose of this effort. While it may seem cynical, I am convinced that it won’t work. The American people don’t care what the press says about January 6. They have real problems and aren’t going to indulge in the fantasies of the Washington elite.

The White House did not issue an official presidential proclamation on the 78th Anniversary of D-Day, which would be the second year in a row they neglected to do so.

Joe Biden did not tweet about the brave men who stormed Normandy’s beaches, France until 8:45 p.m. in Washington D.C.

The tweet said, “Today We Mark 78 Years Since D-Day”. It also honored those who served on the beaches of Normandy. We must never forget their sacrifices for freedom and live up to the ideals they fought for.

The generic statements should have been sent by 8:45 a.m. and not hesitate Many are now asking if the White House communications team has forgotten to send the generic statement.

Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich pointed out that both Barack Obama and George W. Bush had declared D-Day. It is therefore strange and shameful that Biden had not declared D-Day until after 8 pm.

Here are some other celebrations the president has announced for June as if veterans weren’t enough. According to the White House website

National Immigrant Heritage Month

National Caribbean-American Heritage Month

National Ocean Month

National Homeownership Month

LGBTQI Pride Month

Great Outdoors Month

Black Music Appreciation Month

It was impossible for the many Americans who died fighting fascism in this country to be remembered in one day. It is important that we remember their sacrifices as well as the reasons for them.

According to the Associated Press, even though the number of D-Day veterans still alive is likely to decrease rapidly, there are still some.

The White House will offer its condolences to the families of veterans who have lost loved ones on D-Day or during it. The president should designate a day of remembrance.

Americans set the bar low for the Biden administration, yet they keep failing to meet even those rock bottom expectations in almost all areas. It should be pretty easy for the White House, of all places, not to insult elderly veterans, but they even managed to mess that up.

From 1986 to 2008, I lived in New York City. From 1986 to 2008, I lived in New York City. Greenwich Village restaurants would display rainbow signs and gay people would host a month-long party. A parade would feature rainbows and unicorns. The parade suddenly became more full-length, with more semi-naked men on floats. It was then that everything fell apart.

Gay pride month was about equality and acceptance. However, a large part of the gay community had to “stick it at the man”, i.e. conservatives. What better way to accomplish that than to put oily, muscular men in G-strings on a parade float and make them pretend to have had sex with each other, hoping to shock conservatives?

“Take that, Bible thumpers!” Now, sweep up all of our glitter!”

The Gay Pride parade in New York City is not a bastion of conservatism. Other gay people and children were the only ones who saw these gyrating, sparkly men. This is where things get uncomfortable: young children were seeing naked men performing almost-real sex. Parents had to be vigilant about the Pride parade.

This was when “gay pride”, became “gay sex in your face” month.

Is gay pride just about sex? Burger King believes so.

Meet the Pride Whopper. A burger can be ordered with either two “top” or two “bottom” buns.

Here’s the definition of a top (GRAPHIC WARNING), for those who don’t know gay jargon. I am not going to explain what a “bottom” means.

It is obvious that there weren’t any gay people involved in this shameful, brown-nostriled attempt at selling burgers. Bottoms look for tops, and vice versa. A frustrating way to end a relationship is to have two bottoms. Two tops can lead to sex fights.

My fiance is 100% Puerto Rican, Trump-loving, and gun-toting bisexual woman. Because her sexuality is not her defining characteristic, she doesn’t have any “pride plans.”

SERIOUSLY GRAPHIC WARNING

These are some gay men, naked and bare-chested, in Berlin. Is that gay pride?

A television series featuring young gay boys dressed up as women is the best way to express “gay pride”. It’s no accident that Discovery Plus plans to release “Generation Drag”, a television show featuring young gay men dressed as women. It is difficult to understand how this is “gay Pride” and not grooming.

It seems like there is a new crew on the LGBT cruise ship. The trans people would be that crew.

Gay Pride Month was a celebration of gay pride. The new plan seems to be about bringing kids into the LGBT lifestyle.

It’s great to see that some people understand the LGBT movement.

The gay movement was libertarian.

The trans movement is authoritarian.

We are not the same.
