HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — First lady Melania Trump visited West Virginia on Monday to learn how a city at the center of the nation’s opioid epidemic is grappling with the crisis.
She met with federal, state and local officials in Huntington and heard how the area’s police, schools and health care centers are trying to fight the opioid scourge.
“I am here to give you my support,” Trump told participants in the roundtable discussion.
West Virginia has the country’s highest fatal opioid overdose rate and has struggled, like many other states, to confront the many aspects of the problem. Huntington Mayor Steve Williams characterized it as a grim task.
“If not another gram of heroin is distributed, if not another gram of heroin is sold, we will be dealing with this issue for the next four or five decades,” he said.
The first lady asked how the crisis is hurting children and was told about research on babies born addicted to opioids and about addicted teens who need a different system of care. U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin described the challenges that arise when kids are taken from addicted parents and placed into foster care.
The first lady also spoke separately with a small group that included the city’s fire chief and the head of a medical center that specializes in caring for babies born addicted to drugs.
“We are looking forward to working on the problems West Virginia is facing with the opioid crisis,” she told them.

Ping. <3
Mountain Mama Ping to the First Lady's List.
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

(Not all the foreigners in El Salvador, Gabon and Syria the Globalists haven't imported yet.)
She makes my heart glow!
Thank goodness we have a Media that tells us how Beautiful Moochelle Obama is while FLOTUS Trump is nothing to look at.
Hmm...the last time a Slovenian set foot in West Virginia, it may have been my grandfather. He was a coal miner.
I have known about beautiful Slovenian women from when Grandpa put up Miss SNPJ calendar girls in his workshop.
Melania Trump is a pure class act. Proud she is our First Lady.
That baby is thinking, “Wow, what do I need to do to get a wife like that!”
The eastern European women certainly have a lot of good genes. My daughter has a Polish 14 year old riding student who could be a supermodel if she wanted.
Party On, in Ljubljana...
Here we go again...from the 1990 Balkan wars:
Well, Montenegrin girls are hip,
I really dig those boots they wear.
And the Serbian girls, well the way they shoot,
They make me feel safe when I’m there.
Croatian farmer’s daughters really make me feel all right,
And those Slovenian girls, well the way they kiss,
They keep their comrades warm at night.
I wish they all could be Macedonian girls (three times),
The Balkans get no sunshine yet the girls all get so tan,
I dig a French bikini on a Bosnian girl, who’s been returned to her homeland.
I been round Yugoslavia world, and I seen all kinds of girls,
But I couldn’t wait to get back to Belgrade late,
Back to the cutest Slavic girls of all.
I wish they all could be Macedonian girls (repeat).....
No she’s repeating the LIES the CDC Director and Andrew Kolodny promoted along with the PROP committee after having addicted babies, crying parents of college kids who OD’d were presented to her and the President.
NO ONE PRESENTED THE INTRACTABLE PAIN WHICH IS A MEDICAL DISEASE, PATIENTS SIDE. WE HAVE 100 KNOWN AUTOIMMUNE, ALL COME WITH PAIN, WE HAVE CAR WRECKS, WITH NERVE DAMAGE, DAMAGED SPINES, SHE WAS NOT SHOWN THE 22 VETERANS WHO COMMIT SUICIDE DAILY, THOSE WHO CAN’T GET A MRI BECAUSE CHAIN OF COMMAND TOLD THEM NOT TO REPORT HEAD INJURIES. HEART ATTACKS BECAUSE OF HYPERTENSION CRISIS BROUGHT ON BY UNTREATED INTRACTABLE PAIN.
CDC had to back down after the Suicides and Heart Attack deaths got out of control the FDA had to step in and admitt their GUIDELINES were MISAPPLIED by the 50 states and many went over the line. 92% of Cancer patients are sent home on 700 mg of Tylenol per day. Session was a IDIOT with his Aspirin theory, NO POST SURGICAL PATIENT CAN TAKE ANY OTC BUT TYLENOL, the rest are Blood Thinners, GI destroyers and are for 10 days only.
Redfield’s 37 yr old Heroin/Fenatayl laced addict son OD’d on the stuff, what happened to the Illicit drug charges pending in MD against him? Kolodny is considered an expert, he has NO background in Pain Management. Just Addiction as he owns Suboxone Clinics which were failing, his FIL sits on the PROP committee too he’s a dentist. Meet Kolodny’s income stream. 9thx.mjt.lu/nl2/9thx/5j7lw.html?fbclid=IwAR2BlrCKb89TksSvdN2nQSxmSby-3mgErZnejcZfWdmnuHXZV4HV5Rfftpw
Out of that $8.5 Billion President Trump gave for a FAKE crisis it all went to Illicit STREET JUNKIES. While Pain Patients were FORCED TAPERED AND FORCED INTO PAIN CLINICS, which know ZIP about the Complicated Diseases they have. Nor are they run by a Pain Specialist, they are run by APN, PA, NP’s who write under their name. Imagine you are 80 just broke your hip you get TYLENOL POST OP. 1 BAD lab test and you can’t find a Pain Clinic to take you. If you live in Tennessee there are 64 Pain clinics for the ENTIRE STATE over 300 shut their doors in 1 day. If you take Plaquenil for Lupus you are Labeled a Drug seeker. KNOW WHAT It IS, IT’S A ANTI-MARIA DRUG USED OFF LABEL THAT IS VERY HARD ON THE KIDNEYS. AND THE POS TREAT YOU LIKE A CRIMINAL.
Many are now on DSSI who held jobs, many are now home bound, wheelchair, or bedridden due to the FORCED TAPERS. THE NUMBER OF SUICIDES AND HEART ATTACK DEATHS ARE IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OVER LIES. https://www.cato.org/blog/cdc-researchers-state-overdose-death-rates-prescription-opioids-are-inaccurately-high

A Mea Culpa on CDC Opioid Guideline
Dosing, tapering among issues of concern
