Fentanyl: China’s Other Global Plague
01 Dec 2021 Leave a comment
Not only was China complicit in seeing to it that COVID-19 became a global outbreak that specifically targeted the United States, the Daily Caller has published a report about China’s complicitness in manufacturing and producing another means that killing Americans and others abroad: Fentanyl.
While the Biden administration focuses on coronavirus, but says nothing about how China is encouraging the manufacturing and distribution of fentanyl that kills thousands of lives each year. Worst of all, according to the Daily Caller, the death count has shot up massively with opioid and fentanyl deaths up over a period of 14 years. This short Daily Caller video briefly describes how the drug makes it to the United States.

THE FIELD OF BLOOD: VIOLENCE IN CONGRESS AND THE ROAD TO CIVIL WAR by Joanne B. Freeman
01 Dec 2021 Leave a comment
A few days ago, the United States Congress voted to censure Representative Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican after he posted and edited anime video to his social media accounts that depicted violence against Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and President Biden. This along with metal detectors at entrances to the House and Senate, repeated threats of violence against members, heated rhetoric mostly from the Republican side of the aisle by the likes of Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Green and Colorado Representative Lauren Bogart, who exhibited her Islamophobia once again the other day, and of course the events of January 6th have raised the level of partisanship and outright fear among Congressional members to levels not seen in over 150 years. Many argue that today’s split in the body politic has no precedent, however if one consults Joanne B. Freeman’s THE FIELD OF BLOOD: VIOLENCE…

Not the way their lives should end
30 Nov 2021 Leave a comment
Over at Chris Trotter’s blog, Bowalley Road, he recently had a post on the problems that state housing provider Kāinga Ora (KO) is having with “unruly tenants”.
Specifically the problems they’re having with gang members terrorising their neighbours, often very aged neighbours, and the seemingly complete inability of KO to do anything about it. Chris claims that it’s a case of the Labour Minister, Poto Williams, being “entirely captured by her officials”.
No! It is the entirely logical outcome of a modern Left-wing approach to crime that sees criminals as merely a by-product of a bad society, who cannot and should not be punished further.
To that end I saw a comment there from one “Swordfish”, which Chris did not publish but advised to be taken to reporters. Being somewhat familiar with the commentator I tracked him down to his blog, Subzero Politics (which I don’t frequent), and…
