That man has tats in places where some of us don't even have places.

That said, he's very good at conveying his message.

I particularly liked his analogy, saying that 190 Americans dying every day from fentanyl ODs doesn’t register with the public, but if instead it was a 737 plane crashing and killing 190 passengers every day — it would get attention.

Guess I’ll have to give him a listen. The only “Jelly Roll” musician I knew before today was Jelly Roll Morton, long since gone.

Jelly Roll Morton died decades before fentanyl was even invented.

Yup, I’ve said he same thing when I heard the number of daily deaths. Image one airliner A DAY crashing = the number dying from fentanyl on a daily basis.

Mayorkas and Biden are allowing these deaths, not sure how they can sleep at night.

There are only a few ways to deal with the Fentanyl crisis and quite frankly, having worked narcotics in a major city, I do not give one flying rats a$$ about the users.

That being said:

- Absolutely start to crush China economically. Contrary to the image it projects, it is hanging by a thread....Oh wait, Pres Trump was in the process of doing exactly that. My bad.

- Let AMLO know that if help isn’t provided with the border and the immigrants, that the border will be closed and immigrants enter at their own risk.

- The cartels, currently operating in the US will be targeted, first. After that, cartel operations in Mexico will be dealt with.

- Immediately, tax all remittance at, 40% on the first $100 or less...50% if the amount is over $100...65% on any amount over $200 or more.

- All social benefits completely cut off.

- Foreign national caught smuggling at a checkpoint, drugs recovered, vehicle crushed or auctioned for scrap, foreign national repatriated by the end of the week. No need to arrest, prosecute and incarcerate a foreign national. Let them deal with the cartel when they get home.

That would be a start. But that only happens with a President and administration that has gigantor YUGE ballz and isn’t corrupt.

Nothing says fentanyl then face tattoos.
He has the money now to remove them and hire a fitness coach.

Free fentanyl for everyone and be done with it. If the idiots want to do fentanyl go right ahead.
