Kennedy spoke about the measles in Texas and a stupid reporter asked him if he had a cold because the way he sounded.

“Fentanyl crisis: 300K deaths per year”

Wow, we’ve heard 100K to 150K deaths per year for over a decade. That is astonishing. Death sentences are needed for all pushers.

The Sackler family should top the list.

For me, I did not learn very much. Mostly the same talking points Donald says with virtually every interview and presser. I wanted some “red meat” from the secretary’s on what they have found.

I would also hope that part of the balanced budget would be paying down the national debt a significant amount. If that happens, and is continuous, the Dem party (as it is today) is charred remains.

Sacklers — no kidding. Did you watch the show “Dopesick”? It was disgusting. And the bastard who helped the Sacklers at the FDA and then went to work for Purdue Pharma.

That's what President Trump's $5 million "Gold Card" is, and yet the Democrats are going to complain about that, too, after years of saying that "the rich don't pay their fair share."
