“High Doses of Adderall Linked with Heightened Risk of Psychosis and Mania” (AFP)
Ya think?
It’s quite amazing how Big Pharma, over the last half century, pulled off addicting adolescents to amphetamines.
Yet people still wonder why school shootings have increased 3288.89 percent since the advent of such widely prescribed “focus” medications. They are instructed—by “progressives” and a mainstream media narrative—to blame school shootings on guns and to disavow the Second Amendment.
It is Big Pharma that needs to be placed under scrutiny and overhauled, not the Second Amendment.
From October 2016…
“Big Pharma’s Manufactured Epidemic: The Misdiagnosis of ADHD” (Scientific American)
According to the American Psychiatric Association, about 5 percent of American children suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), yet the diagnosis is given to some 15 percent of American children, many of whom are placed on powerful drugs with lifelong consequences.
And all the while, gargantuan profits to Big Pharma (and kickbacks from Big Pharma to doctors working the frontlines).
Many psychiatrists have become little more than pill-pushing drug dealers, greedily earning fees from both ends.
Little wonder Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. questions the ethics of Big Pharma, the NIH and the CDC, especially on the heels of the Covid vaccine debacle.
“Elon Musk Pledges Support for Second Amendment” (Fox News)
Musk cites Venezuela as an example of leaders disarming their citizens as a prelude to tyrannical government.
Much worse is what took place in Turkey about 110 years ago when a government of Young Turks ordered all Armenians to surrender their weapons.
A near-genocide followed.
It is never a good sign when a government orders its citizens to surrender their weapons.
This is precisely why our visionary forefathers granted Americans the right to bear arms.
“Prince Harry’s US Visa Ruling Hidden from Public” (Daily Telegraph)
I don’t believe that having taken illicit drugs should automatically preclude a foreign national from gaining entry to the United States.
But I also believe there should not be two sets of rules governing to whom such a law applies.
Just because Harold is a (non-working) member of Britain’s royal family should not shield him from American immigration law.
Did Harold list (as legally required) his drug-taking (as admitted in his nonfiction bio Spare) on his Immigration form? Or did he lie on the form on the basis that the truth would have barred him from entering the USA? (Lying is worse.)
It’s a very simple question.
By refusing to release Harold’s visa records, the Biden Administration is showing favoritism to a liberal friend—the opposite of weaponizing against a conservative political opponent, but justice wrong.
“How Biden’s Immigration Policies Paved the Way for Springfield’s Pet Controversy” (The Telegraph)
It is curious how the ABC News’ un-dynamic duo moderating the Trump-Harris Debate fact-checked only Trump and gave Harris free passage, even after Harris did not even answer the very first question they asked of her: Are Americans better off now than they were four years ago?
The answer, of course, is yes… if you are Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or other assorted billionaires who greatly benefited from massive small business closures nationwide.
But for Americans in general, the answer is, absolutely not.
All it takes is one trip to the supermarket—and a stop along the way for gas—to know with certainty that our spending power has been vastly devalued, which means we are not better off, we are much worse off.
But the funniest part of the debate was David Muir of ABC News trying to call Trump out on Haitian dog-eaters in Springfield, Ohio. He (or one of his minions) actually called the Springfield’s city manager! (No one called anyone to dispute Kackle’s erroneous “facts.”)
Whatever rhetoric Trump uses to make his point does nothing to diminish the problem created by the Biden-Harris Administration: Ignoring immigration law and allowing 20 million-plus unqualified foreign nationals to take up residence in the USA, thereafter draining resources meant for legally born and legally naturalized American citizens.
Reports The Telegraph with regard to Springfield, Ohio: Between 15,000 and 20,000 Haitians arrived in Springfield during Biden’s watch. In a town with a previous population of only 59,000! (Sorry, folks, but that’s an invasion.)
What City Manager Bryan Heck should have told ABC’s David Muir (and probably did) is that he sent a complaint to Ohio’s senior U.S. senator about the immigration surge in his city “putting a significant strain on our resources,” i.e. public services paid for by the taxpayer.
Another indicator that Americans are much worse off…
“Americans Are Falling Behind on their Bills. Wall Street is Alarmed.” (WSJ)
Lenders see a rise in late payments on credit cards and auto loans.
Biden’s old besties—Delaware’s credit card companies—are not amused. Their bubble is already losing air.
“Merrick Garland Forcefully Defends Rule of Law in Justice Department Speech” (Washington Post)
Laughable, at best.
The DoJ under Merrick Garland, given his collusion in weaponizing the judicial system, has about as much dignity as a rat’s ass.
And speaking of justice, rather, injustice…
“Peaceful ‘J6 Granny’ Gets the Federal Shaft in Sentencing” (Armageddonprose.substack)
As punishment for taking a 27-minute nonviolent tour of the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, after being granted permission to enter by cops on site, grandmother Karen Jones has, over three years after the alleged insurrection and many thousands of retirement dollars squandered on defense attorneys, been sentenced to a three-year probation/house arrest regime — for a single misdemeanor charge of “Entering or Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds.”
The court acknowledged her lack of criminal history, the absence of evidence that she committed any violence at the Capitol, and that she did not enter any private areas of the Capitol.
Nevertheless, the judge strapped her with an ankle monitor, charged her $3,000, and threw her on probation for three years with drug tests and random home visits from the officer.
Clearly, the federal government is so petrified of insurrection, it feels compelled to make an example of anyone and everyone they can remotely connect to those who paid a visit to the “people’s house” (not!) on January 6.
Meanwhile, rioters, looters and arsonists in Minneapolis, Seattle and elsewhere went free (and if caught, got bailed through a “freedom fund” promoted by Kamala Harris).
“Melania Trump Questions Security Failure at Donald Trump Assassination Attempt in Video Post” (ABC News)
Said Melania, “There is definitely more to this story… the silence around it feels heavy.”
There is definitely much more to this story. And it truly feels like this story has been swept under an intricately-woven rug.
And just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water (or onto the golf course)…
“A Second Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump” (New York Times)
and...
“Democrats Set Stage for 2 Trump Assassination Attempts with These 5 Statements” (The Blaze)
“Democracy is on the ballot.”
“Greatest Threat”
Nazi Comparisons.
“Clear and present danger.”
“Bull’s Eye.”
One way or another, Institutional Washington is determined to take Trump out.
The DC establishment simply cannot abide a president who is able to convey to a majority of Americans that the permanent government is a power unto itself unconcerned with the best interests of the people it supposedly serves, focused solely on self-preservation and the status quo.
“Biden Wore a Biden Trump for Several Seconds at 9/11 Event” (USA Today)
Said Joe, “I need that hat,” before placing it upon his head.
Our commander-in-chief’s senility appears to have regressed him to childhood. (I hope he got an ice cream, too.)
I think I like him better this way.
“AI Can Change Belief in Conspiracy Theories” (The Guardian)
Another good reason not to trust AI since anyone who challenges mainstream media narratives is automatically dubbed “conspiracy theorist”—a vastly overused cliché that has been rendered meaningless.
Laughably, this story suggests that the sole assassin of JFK was Lee Harvey Oswald.
So I asked ChatGPT, “Who killed JFK?'“
Response: Officially, the Warren Commission concluded in 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting and killing JFK from the Texas School Book Depository.
ChapGPT then alludes to “numerous conspiracy theories that suggest” otherwise but “none have been proven.”
This strongly suggests that AI, until it becomes Super AI and can think for itself, will be controlled by those who fabricate and perpetuate a false mainstream narrative that appears to fool around 48% of all Americans.
“Hillary Clinton is Back, with a Fourth Memoir. Is There Anything New to Say?” (Washington Post)
It appears even The Washington Post cannot stomach yet another boring tome from a poor loser, with stomach being the operative word:
“Something Lost, Something Gained” is Hillary Clinton’s fourth memoir… an odd place to admit, as she does, that ‘sharing my most personal reflections does not come naturally.’”
Chuckle, oink, barf.
Clinton claims to prefer writing about politics, but says: “I hope that combining the two — the broccoli and the ice cream, if you will — makes for a rewarding meal.”
Well, no. It’s as unappetizing as that image makes it sound… it’s interminable.
As in, incessant whine.
Thanks but no thanks. When I want whine, I uncork a bottle.
About the school shootings... We do have to take into account that some (how many is unknown) were 100% psyop hoaxes - like Sandy Hook. A sandy hook cast into Our emotions to drag Us into giving up Our rights.
But yes... We have problems...backed by money.
