Joe Biden had only one event scheduled on Tuesday -- to discuss the "progress" his administration was making in regard to dealing with the massive fentanyl problem.
As we reported earlier, part of the fentanyl problem is because Biden has failed to secure the border. He also didn't seem to understand China's involvement in the whole fentanyl process, lifting sanctions on a blacklisted forensics lab in exchange for Xi saying they would do more to track the flow of chemicals for fentanyl. As Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) said, that was a bit like "thanking the arsonist."
But Biden also made another huge gaffe that had the White House rushing to clean up. During his remarks about the drug, he said he was calling on Congress to make it a "Schedule 1 drug." Doing that would cause it to be unable to be used for the legitimate medical uses it is employed for now.
Fentanyl is currently a Schedule II drug which means it can be prescribed for legitimate medical use.
Advertisement Biden administration officials clarified to The Post that he was not actually calling for a ban on fentanyl, but for Congress to make permanent a 2018 emergency action that declared fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs.
The administration aides insisted to The Post that the president didn’t misspeak when he called on Congress to make fentanyl a Schedule I drug because, they said, he was thinking about illicit street fentanyl, which may or may not contain fentanyl-related substances.
White House spokeswoman Kelly Scully said, “This is exactly what he intended to say. Today’s event is specifically about illicit fentanyl not medical fentanyl.”
Fentanyl-related substances have slightly different chemical compositions than fentanyl itself, which in the past allowed traffickers to avoid penalties.
"This is exactly what he intended to say" -- but didn't -- even though he was reading directly from notes. He still couldn't get it right. Nice try, guys, but we're not buying that one.
Once Biden was done with his fentanyl event, then he was off to the plane, bound for Nantucket, for still more days of vacation. He's staying again at billionaire private equity tycoon David Rubenstein's estate. He preaches about the billionaires and then does all he can to hang out at their estates on his vacations.
Advertisement Biden looks so old going up the steps to the plane, especially compared to Jill who has no problem going up and just leaves him in the dust.
His schedule for the vacation is basically empty. If you are just dialing in your job, and take 40 percent of the time on vacation, why would anyone retain you for that job?
Are you saying Americans have switched to taking fentanyl instead of opium?
Apparently everybody owns a piece of Biden’s dirty ass.
Which biden are you referring to...Joe or Jill?
Biden’s open border is responsible for approx. 10,000 fentanyl deaths a month since he took office. If only there was a functional political party that could use that somehow.
Fentanyl does have its legitimate uses. It spared me the agony of my near fatal accident and subsequent surgeries in late 2019.
I will add this. The rats will keep him as long as they can. They have a corrupt liar with a compromised brain who will do whatever he is told to do and he has the Power of the Presidency. It is a dream come true for the Dems.
Yes, manufactured under tight security, and exacting specifications, delivered in clean, precision dosages and administered in specified amounts.
Not manufactured in a Chinese shithole, smuggled across the border inside a automobile gas tank and delivered to a filthy crackhouse in Detroit.................
“They know it...he knows it...the world knows it.”
I am not sure he knows it.
Biden hides from the people and press. Behind the scenes, someone else running far left policies.
That way they cause less damage.
The more they "work", the worse it gets.

Hmmmmmm......something to think about.
There is no more opium. If that was your drug of choice, then the alternative is fentanyl.
The corrupt liar Biden is a dream come true for the Dems.
It is patently obvious that 81 year old Biden is senile and incapable of being POTUS. How much longer will people accept the lie he is actually running the country? It is ridiculous to think that he will be able to be even a sham president for the next four years.
The media will cover for him, the Dems & RINOs in Congress will excuse him and the Dem voters base will obediently do as they have always done..................
I had some major surgery, in a very well known top notch hospital.
When I looked through the bills, I have noticed, that I was given Fentanyl several times during, and after, the surgery. It controlled my pain in great way, and I never got hooked on it, or had any other problems with it.
Obviously, they knew what they were doing!
Unlike the street thugs and president Biden!
It still is and also in surgical environments.
Honestly Fent is a poor street drug since it’s very powerful and has a limited high. That is why it was being used to cut heroin. Now the just skip most of the heroin. If you chase the high of heroin with Fent then death is close. Or so I understand.
I have to go back and look at my bill from my transplant surgery, now that you mention it. I don’t know what they gave me, other than knocking me out.
I have a nephew that is homeless because he’s stolen from his family to buy drugs. His Mom kicked him out, so he’s been living in local parks with others.
I don’t know what’s going to become of him-he even got himself kicked out of local homeless shelters for his behavior. He hasn’t been right since he was a kid, always getting into trouble. I’m concerned for him, but we can’t take him in, and even if we could, I wouldn’t. I have my guns locked up and my prescriptions in a safe place, but no way I want him around.
I’m so afraid he’s going to get some of that stuff and accidentally kill himself…
Biden reminds me of the movie Dave and he’s the on in the bed.
