Are the Mexican cartels paying for the test strips (distributors) or the Chinese government (producer)? Just asking for a tax paying friend.
I’m just gonna assume that officials who accidentally touch it can be killed, those who go to test it, unless have a hazmat suit, will know soon wo test.
I wish I could be amusing, unfortunately my wife’s niece died of Fentanyl use in January of this year.
Maria M. Her Mass is being said on Thursday the 16th of March. If you could, please say a bead for her. She was in her mid thirties. It shocked the entire family. She was talented and loved by many. Thank you in advance for any considerations.
From the Wisdom of Fulton Sheen. Each day tell yourself, “God loves me. And I will try to love God.”
Our true home is not this fallen world.
May she rest in peace, Philip.
We are not only collateral damage. The cabal of child rapists, foreign agents, profiteers, and traitors that runs this national fluster cluck doesn’t care. They are intentionally grinding us.
Know Jesus. Know peace.
Unrelated to anything, but I hope amusing: today I passed a sign for “Francisca’s Dominican Bakery” that took me a long time to figure out.
Prayers for Maria M. May she rest in pece.
Prayers for her and her family
On another note: Fentanyl laced vitamins have been discovered to have been distributed in Pa. One dose can cause death.
Thanks Mary and T Shaw.
I’ll let my wife know of your contributions on her behalf.
The whole bloody mess..China via Mexico, over the boarder and through the woods. The candy/drugs found in toys a few months ago is nothing less that demonic.
If I ran a cartel, of course I’d use some of my stacks of cash to purchase US politicians, media, and academia— anything to keep the border porous and my business running smoothly.
Any time I hear some public figure spouting obvious nonsense about the virtues of an open border I wonder “how much did it take to buy this one off?”.
I’ve been thinking the same thing, Clinton. Especially concerning politicians from border states.
My nephew’s sister-in-law died of a Fentenyl overdose and the grandparents are raising her three children.
Madgalene.
The body count continues to pile up.
My condolences to your nephew.

Here’s one for Don to assess. Secret Servicemen quoted on mundane interactions with Jimmy Carter. One of the curios about Carter is how deficient were his dealings with members of Congress on his own side. (Tip O’Neill on Carter, “This guy is hopeless”).
interesting Art. I have heard that Carter had a brittle personality and that if you were not a family member or a close friend he had little time for you. I hadn’t realized his relations with the Secret Service and the military on a human level were quite that bad.
The Preamble to our Constitution promises, guarantees “the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”
No longer taught in public schools or universities, the Constitution for the United States of America prohibits addiction to drugs; the loss of informed consent in free will, lust in sodomy; the assault and battery of sodomy; the denial of the sovereign personhood of the newly begotten of “We, the people”.
The Constitution actually calls for the spiritual and corporal works of mercy outlawing mercy killing, abortion, transgenderism, sodomy and perjury, the telling of untruth in a court of law; as in sodomy is marriage, pornography is free speech; abortion is not the destruction of our Constitutional Posterity; Caesar is god.
The dignity of one human being is sovereign.
So, until cats can write music, The Constitution for the United States of America reigns supreme.
Those who disagree and reject our Founding Principles had better start teaching cats how to read and write.
CITIZENS’ ARREST
Citizens’ arrest is now rarely acknowledged in any court.
In Agatha Christi’s book and film “Witness for the Prosecution” the accused played by Jeff Bridges, murders his girlfriend for her money, gets his wife to perjurer herself for him and gets aquitted. He then tells his wife that he is leaving her for his new girlfriend. And right there in court his wife stabs him to death with the murder weapon.
The lawyer played by Sir Ralph Richardson says he will take the case as the wife did not murder her husband; she executed him.
Of course, the wife played by Diana Rigg murdered her husband because he was leaving her. For the wife it was murder perhaps temporary insanity, but using the power of attorney of the murderer of homicide in the first degree, the wife or any and every human being could be the executioner of the homicidal killer who deserved execution. Using the power of attorney of the murderer, either or the citizens’ arrest, any citizen is empowered by his citizenship to execute the condemned murderer through the murderer’s own power of attorney as he deserved execution starting with the murderer in the state as a citizen.

Murder on the Orient Express 2017
another Agatha Christi film, Hercule Poirot asks: “Where is Justice?” after Rachett was stabbed 12 times. The aunt of Daisey Armstrong answers: “Buried with Daisey.”

IN THE LAND BEFORE SIN
The third reciting of Genesis. In the land before sin; in the land of obedience to God and mankind; when God walked with man and man walked with God in the Garden of Eden in perfect creation. After Eve, the Mother of the Living fell to Satan’s lies, Adam, her husband had the knowledge and authentic authority as head of the family and as Eve’s husband to remain obedient to the law of God, “their Creator”.
Adam having remained faithful and obedient to his “Creator”would have expiated for his wife’s disobedience. The whole of Adam’s descendants, mankind, would be walking with God in the cool of the evening, every evening for all eternity in immortality without death.
True UTOPIA is mankind in complete and loving relationship with “their Creator”. This is called heaven.
