Trump has effectively decimated the drug trade, massively reducing drug overdose deaths, chiefly reducing fentanyl ODs by 54% from its peak prior to his inauguration.
Prior to Trump’s inauguration, overdoses seemed poised to continue rising.

A traditionally religious person accepts that they inhabit a world of scarcity and suffering, finding peace through belief in salvation from God.
The atheistic, affluent, and coddled, exposed to the hardships of self-provision for the first time in their adult lives, become racked with anxiety instead.
Marxism — a religion disguised as economic theory — promises to alleviate individuals of the burden of responsibility and hand it to “the system."
Obama promised a peaceful transfer of power.
In truth, Obama was running an operation against President Trump with the goal of overthrowing the legitimately elected president.
Notes from the January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting show that Obama and Biden ordered Susan Rice, Jim Comey, and Sally Yates to “Do cases + right people.”
The “right people” included Peter Strzok, who was briefed on the matter and wrote these notes.
Obama’s order started a chain of events culminating in the FBI’s investigation of President Trump as a Russian asset and the Mueller witch hunt.
My book at https://t.co/SZz91di1xH describes it all.
The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.
She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.
Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.
Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.
In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.
Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.
Marxism is not an economic theory. It is a religion for destructive and resentful losers.
It is a call to destroy the world as it is through violence, revolution, and theft.
Of the classless heaven that is supposed to follow revolution, Marx says almost nothing.
47% of government spending is on some form of welfare. Only 8% is on defense.
Reducing welfare spending is profoundly difficult politically...but it must be done or we will go the way of Rome.

“Muslims must be the authority on the land in America”.
“We can use democracy to remove democracy”.
Imam recite Quran 8:60,
“Prepare against the infidels, the enemies of Allah, and terrorize them”.
By destroying religious frameworks and adopting therapy speak, the West has lost its moral understanding and replaced it with clinical language.
Carl Jung saw that man was replacing gods and demons with neuroses, anxieties, and addictions.
This inversion has consequences.
HOLY COW
This needs to break the Internet.
@JamesOKeefeIII went to Alaska during the primary on August 18th
& Election Day Workers were ready to hand him Brian Murkowski’s ballot!
Brian Murkowski is the bother of Senator Lisa Murkowski.
Yes, the same Senator AGAINST the SAVE America Act — who won’t support photo voter ID & proof of citizenship to vote.
You can’t make this up!
If you live in Alaska, please share this with everyone you know & ask them to peacefully call, email, & contact Senator Murkowski’s office.
Please also make a plan to vote ✅ YES to Ballot Measure 2 to DEFEAT Ranked Choice Voting this November.
This is a massive, earth-shattering story.
Our elections aren’t secure & the Senate is doing nothing about it.
A worldview that persists despite its unending list of failures is not interested in truth but power.
Consider how these people respond to the breakdown of their policies.
They don’t believe that multiculturalism itself fails but that they didn’t implement it hard enough, that they didn’t propagandize the host nation into forced compassion hard enough.
It’s not that gender dysphoria is actually a mental illness; it’s that they didn’t normalize it enough.
It’s not that safe supply failed but that it was not scaled up enough.
Decriminalization isn’t a bad idea; we simply didn’t provide the criminals with enough free things and support programs before implementing it.
Friedrich Nietzsche put suicidal empathy into his own words nearly a century and a half before Saad.
In Beyond Good and Evil he writes about a society grown so “pathologically soft and tender that it sides even with those who harm it.”
Once it reaches this stage, he noted, anything which raises a man above the herd and intimidates his neighbor is declared evil. Mediocrity becomes the highest achievement.
@elonmusk The restraint that Floyd was placed in (face down with the officer’s knee on back side of his neck) was also a restraint the MPD handbook at the time taught as a “non-deadly force” restraint.
