President Biden plans to use his State of the Union address on Tuesday to build on his “unity agenda” by calling on Congress to help him crack down on the influx of fentanyl coming into the U.S. and help tackle the mental health crisis by banning targeted advertising online for children.

The four pillars of the agenda laid out in his first State of the Union in March 2022 include ending cancer as we know it, delivering on obligations to veterans, tackling the mental health crisis and beating the opioid and overdose epidemic.

Biden on Tuesday plans to call on Congress to make fentanyl-related substances permanently Schedule I drugs before that scheduling expires in December 2024.

“This is not a red state problem or a blue state problem, this is America’s problem. And he believes it’s going to take all of us, all of us working together,” Rahul Gupta, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, told reporters on a call previewing the address.

But how do you crack down on fentanyl coming into the US, without also cracking down on illegal aliens coming into the US?

Joe/Obozo and the Dems want to keep the cartels happy by keeping the borders open. Follow the money.

” crackdown on fentanyl “ = closing the wide-open borders.

China Joe is definitely not for that simple solution.

Why not make Hunter the Drug Czar. He has more experience sniffing out drugs than anyone in the country.

Those Bidens are like human bloodhounds.

No matter how much Fentanyl is seized, its dosage means they will just bring in more. They are already well established, seizing drugs wont work.

Biden will just use this to increase surveillance state.

Easy. Those smuggling drugs will be carrying signs and be using special designated drug smuggling ports of entry. Or something. Don’t bother the big guy with details. C’mon man, you know..you know...the thing.

banning targeted advertising online for children

What in the world does that mean? Can anybody imagine which ads will be acceptable, and which ads will be banned?

Huckabee Sanders will give the response. Shouldn’t it be DeSantis?

Sanders is awesome, DeSantis already has enough recognition. You have to add to the bench.
