Border security? Dems don’t need no stinkin’ border security.
I’m sure Karen Bass will be all over this.
I won’t believe it unless I see it in Powerpoint.
There has been a LOT of political stuff cross before my eyes ( try "Madam Secretary" season 2 (2014) on NETFLIX ) that just seems weirdly timed, and this Fentanyl thing is beginning to bug me.
Does anyone remember the Flu disappeared entirely in 2020, replaced by Covid only to slowly re-emerge in 2021 and is now a re-accepted member into the community in 2022 ?
Why is KTLA attacking Joe Biden and his family? Don’t they know that he and his family gets a cut of the profits every time China sends the precursors to Mexico to be made in Fentanyl?
100% Biden’s fault.
Since the legal authorities in LA won’t prosecute many crimes especially drug dealing, dealers have a free reign over the population.
Well they voted for it (or allowed the elections to be stolen)
No, this is how L.A. takes care of the homeless problem.
I have a friend who uses weed for medical purposes. And in Ca it is legal to sell over the counter for recreational use. Recently he noticed a change in what he is purchasing from the dispensaries. He swears up and down that it is now all laced with Fentanyl and he doesn’t like it. He makes a good point about how this hidden practice would help get unsuspecting users hooked on Fentanyl also. If so, this is illegal and needs to be investigated.
It’s not like its a ridiculous number such as 1500%

Wonder if they were all really drug related...
Lot to unpack in that.
BTW, note the very brief mention of nosocomial infections...
...COVID-19, often a nosocomial infection...
Okaaaay...
Bet that would be news to a lot of people, eh?
Especially employees of health systems with a mandatory vaccination policy.
And unvaxxed patients who are being denied care.
Sadly, neither do the voters who got him elected.
Agree a result of Trump derangement syndrome it causes many deaths.
Not going to happen… the ruling class Peters you to be sedated, drugged up, ground between the millstones of taxation and inflation.
Is there a better way to control someone than addiction? Cheaper than gulags too. If it isn’t a women, children or brown people problem, it isn’t a problem.
I hve seen the utter despair that their loved ones suffer long before the death.
