The left ignores 30,000 overdose deaths per year but the “real” crisis is rifles, which are involved in a few hundred deaths a year.

I'll weigh in on this.....it's actually significant what the Postal Service does and how they identify packages etc. coning from China and other countries known to supply fentanyl.....it's not as though they can't recognize the usual ways the Chines package and hide this stuff. It's remarkable what they hide this drug in....the problem is they 'flood' packages in and are quite content with whatever happens to make it through....China has many factories that actually fake package products specifically hiding fentanyl....purposely. And Canada is also now their target..This IS a drug war.

The low cost USPS rate to USA from China ends on 10/7/19...following Trumps EO of 10/7/18 withdrawal from the International Postal Union

Well that is settled.

I wish Canada would do the same. It costs eBay and AliExpress sellers in China virtually nothing to ship stuff here by mail, subsidized by our postal system. Subsidized to undercut importers and sellers that actually have a presence here, and provide some kind of service.

That’s probably costing taxpayers enormous amounts of money for Postal Service security.

Communist China is Philippines President Durterte’s supplier of Fentanyl. That’s why he is Xi’s butt-buddy.

I don’t get what you’re trying to drive at. Pres. Duterte has killed thousands trying to fight the scourge of drug trafficking in the Philippines and now you’re telling us that he himself is an addict?

[Starcitizen]

Duterte’s relatives smuggle Chinese crystal meth (shabu) into the Philippines. Chinese smugglers, in fact an entire large scale Chinese meth producing facility was found. The Communist Chinese are always let go. He is just killing the users.

And yes is a known addict of Fentanyl. It’s all over the Filipino press.
