Hell, 3,000 die EVERY day from fentanyl. Twice as many as heart disease or cancer.

Yet we let China keep sending it.

Yep.

And Leftists (and some so-called conservatives) who are on board for these lockdowns view these deaths as just so many eggs to be broken to make their tyrannical omelette.

I read a heartbreaking story about a high school senior in New Mexico who was a big football quarterback star with the potential of a full scholarship at major colleges, and Covid hit his Senior year when he knew scouts would be coming around...and New Mexico locked everything down and cancelled the season.

Yet ten miles away from his small New Mexico town, right over the Texas border, their schools didn’t close, lock down, or cancel the season.

The kid was so despondent he killed himself.

By the way, I knew the numbers were high...did not know they were that high. That is gut-churning.

Scott Adams has proposed an interesting solution on Twitter. He suggests that for each fentanyl death in the U.S., we deport one Chinese national student from American colleges. And we do it in alphabetical order so their elites know when their turn is coming.

Fentanyl is a wonder drug when administered properly

Arguably strongest pain killer available per weight

Not to say that fentanyl is not a serious problem, but, that number is WAYYY off. Even our "use any issue we can to degrade freedom" FedGov reports:

Deaths involving other synthetic opioids other than methadone (primarily fentanyl) continued to rise with more than 36,359 overdose deaths reported in 2019.
