You have to remember that the deep state is trying to destroy our economy to usher in CBDCs and the one world government under UN control. If they renewed oil leases and drilled more, bringing down the cost of gas, they wouldn’t be able to crush the economy as fast. Trump already laid out how to beat Putin. Produce Oil. This Ukraine shit is just their chance to line their own pockets. There will be hell to pay when actual MAGA rides in on the pale horse come November. No conservative in their right mind thinks Ukraine needs another damn dime.
SACRAMENTO, CA — With skyrocketing costs and grid failures across California:
the Californian government is recommending everyone purchase a giant human-sized hamster wheel to generate electricity to charge their electric cars.
“Electric cars are admittedly a bit less functional without electricity,” Governor Gavin Newsom in a statement. “So, the other day I had this great idea. You peasants can just generate your own electricity on massive spinning wheels, just like hamsters! You all don’t have anything important to do anyway, I assume.”
The new wheel, currently being developed by top engineers working for the State of California, will stand eight feet tall and look incredibly stupid. Early users report that a full charge requires the equivalent of a 38-mile sprint.
“As soon as little Timmy gets home from daycare, I just put him on the wheel,” said local dad Jon Bennett. “It’s too much for one person, so we get the whole family involved. I even put my mother-in-law in there, but it’s mostly just to watch. She’s so slow with her bad hip.”
The wheel will also be employed in Europe where certain areas project the cost of electricity for a single car charge to reach one hundred euros.
At publishing time, California announced a high-end luxury wheel, with a lower-friction wheel and a feed trough to keep people going.
As the Romans were fond of saying, beware politicians offering panaceas.
The latest meta-trend to catch hold of the collective consciousness is the electric vehicle revolution. Unless you’ve been living under a rock or in a proper nuclear quarantine bunker, the age of the internal combustion engine (ICE) or more broadly the age of combustion, is rapidly drawing to a close. Age of Combustion (1775-2020) R.I.P.
The world of tomorrow is here today, so they say. Gone are the noisy internal combustion engines of yesteryear, replaced by the silent effortless humming of the electric fuel cell and battery. Gone are the greenhouse-gas-causing fossil fuels (namely, coal, oil and natural gas) of our forebears, replaced by a limitless supply of clean electricity.
Look no further then the current stock market for evidence supporting the above statements. Tesla, the most recognized electric car company, is now the second largest car company in the world, trailing only Toyota (which makes a mix of electric, hybrid and
ICE vehicles), and boasts a market capitalization (stock price multiplied by total shares outstanding) of one hundred fifty-five billion U.S. dollars. Based on this measure, Tesla is larger than Volkswagen, Daimler Chrysler, GM and Ford Motor Company combined.
The broad-scale endorsement of a global transition from ICE vehicle transportation to electric vehicle (EV) transportation is being accelerated by a diverse collection of political and social trends, typically involving some combination of the following:
Almost universal endorsement of “green” initiatives or mindset by the Hollywood and media elite. This includes the celebratizing of a new generation of climate warriors and the painting of fossil fuels as toxic or dirty. I personally take umbrage with this slandering, as “dirty” is a relative term. As compared to what? Combustion practices of the 1800s and 1900s? Or in comparison to the primary form of work energy prior to the Age of Combustion. . . forced human labor (living in smoky cottages heated by wood or coal)? I and many others respectfully disagree.
Tax and fiduciary initiatives that subsidize purchase and ownership of electric vehicles or the production of electricityfrom solar or wind technologies.
Legislative efforts that either ban ICE vehicles in certain congested urban areas (such as Paris) or ban the sale of ICE vehicles outright at some point in the distant future. All of these initiatives have the commonality of taking effect at some point between 2030 and 2050. Call these political procrastination policies, never mind the ethics of passing policies for a future generation where a portion of expected future voters is not old enough to pay taxes or vote in publicly held elections.
Applying social pressure on quasi-public investment funds to divest from hydrocarbon-related businesses and the sustaining investments to support them. An example of this would be sovereign, pension and retirement wealth funds pulling their money from equities and funds involved in hydrocarbon extraction or processing—for example, the Harvard University Endowment selling all of its ExxonMobil holdings.
All of the above serve the purpose of re-leveling the playing field in favor of “green” or “clean” energy in place of “dirty” hydrocarbon energy. In other words, accelerating the clean green revolution. . . that is already here according to Wall Street

INCONVENIENT DETAIL: MORE POLLUTION, NOT LESS
However—and there is always a however—there are a few inconvenient details that politicians and other celebrity types frequently fail to include when heralding our new energy future. The largest of these inconvenient details is the fact that oil, coal and natural gas still supply an overwhelming amount of the useable energy that we consume today. Around 80 percent of the energy used globally is fossil fuel-based and the majority of non-fossil fuel energy is either in the form of nuclear or hydroelectric, both of which come with their own special set of drawbacks.
For reference and understanding see Figure 1, which shows annual energy consumption by source type in both percentage and absolute terms. Absolute energy is measured in quads, short for quadrillion BTUs (a one with fifteen zeros). (A BTU or British Thermal Unit is the amount of energy or heat required to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit.) Coronavirus slowdown aside, total energy consumption globally stands at around 550-575 quads per year, and the average annual energy consumption per person is 0.000000000125 quads per person.
Today, oil remains the largest primary source of energy used globally and deserves special attention as oil’s use is almost exclusively dedicated to transportation and the production of building materials (petrochemicals). Roughly 80-85 percent of oil’s use is in the form of transportation fuels for vehicles (gasoline and diesel engines), trains, tractors, airplanes and marine vessels.
In order to displace oil for electricity in passenger vehicles, the world would need to increase the amount of electricity generated by just over 150 quads per year. Or to put this gargantuan effort in perspective, the world would need to roughly triple its electricity production in order to switch from ICEVs to EVs. This need for a massive increase in electricity generation results in one of the green energy revolution’s true paradoxes: the electricity supply of last resort is overwhelmingly coal, particularly in China and India. Both countries are at the forefront of the vehicle electrification movement, but doing it primarily with coal-produced electricity, which has the net environmental impact of producing more greenhouse gases, not less.
To generate one million BTUs from coal produces about 225 pounds of carbon dioxide.
By comparison, generating one million BTUs from gasoline or diesel produces only 160 pounds of carbon dioxide (about 30 percent less) and natural gas generates only 110 pounds of carbon dioxide or about 45 percent less CO2 emissions. As EVs become more widespread, we can expect more pollution, not less.
INCONVENIENT DETAIL: THE COST
Electric vehicles are expensive. They cost 25-40 percent more to manufacture, primarily because the engine of an electric vehicle requires different materials than an internal combustion engine. Those materials are subject to their own laws of supply and demand and the natural constraints of supply and demand. Any large-scale increase in EV production will eventually slam into this economic reality.
First the numbers: although estimates can be a bit fuzzy given the source material, particularly from the developing world, the estimate for the total size of the global vehicle fleet stands at an estimated 1.4 billion vehicles or one vehicle per every 5.5 inhabitants. The U.S., by comparison, is roughly one vehicle per every 1.8 inhabitants. By comparison, the total number of pure electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on the road today stands at just over 8.5 million or about 0.6 percent of the vehicle fleet population. If you used media attention and stories as your only source for estimating the size of the global electric vehicle fleet, most people would logically assume that EVs comprise at least half of the global vehicle fleet—just look at Tesla’s stock market valuation!
Aside from the relative size of the vehicle populations (ICE versus EV), the next inconvenient reality is the vehicle-to-vehicle cost comparison. The ICE vehicle is typically 20-30 percent cheaper in the initial purchase but does cost 5-10 percent more in terms of annual maintenance and fuel costs (depending on the price of oil). See Figure 2 for a 2015 comparison by the consulting firm Arthur Little.
With tax incentives and rebates, the cost of electric vehicles has fallen substantially in the past five years, with the average cost difference between an ICE vehicle and EV closer to 15-20 percent over a ten- to twenty-year life of the vehicle in net present value terms, using a standard discount rate. For the time being, however, the fact remains that EVs cost more to purchase and run.
INCONVENIENT FACT: COBALT
The next inconvenient reality has to do with the material composition of an EV engine versus an internal combustion (IC) engine. An electric vehicle uses about three times more copper than an IC engine and substantially more nickel and cobalt than a traditional internal combustion engine forged of machine steel.
Nickel and cobalt are the key elements used in the cathode chemistry of most electric vehicle batteries today. The typical electric vehicle uses about five kilograms of cobalt (ten to eleven pounds). (Ironically, the other major industrial use for cobalt is in the production of catalysts to remove sulfur from crude oil during the oil refining process.)
Total annual consumption of cobalt today is roughly 265 million metric tonnes, with batteries making up about half the total global cobalt demand. Each 10 percent conversion of the global vehicle fleet will require 700 million metric tonnes of cobalt or a tripling of total global cobalt production. Converting half of the global vehicle fleet to EV would require the globe to produce fifteen times more cobalt than it does today.
FIGURE 2: Total Cost of Ownership over a 20-year lifetime for a 2015 ICEV versus an equivalent BEV (battery electric vehicles) Source: Arthur D. Little, 2015
Therein lies the real problem: a massive increase in the production of electric vehicles is going to run into a major supply crunch, both in terms of the type of electricity produced and the amount of cobalt mined. We’ll need to burn a lot more fossil fuel to produce all the electricity we’ll need for the “clean” electric car.
Cobalt mining is particularly worrisome in that some 65 percent or two-thirds of the world’s mined cobalt supply comes from one place, the Democratic Republic of Congo in sub-Saharan Africa. Most of the cobalt for electric cars comes from what are euphemistically referred to as artisanal mines. Don’t kid yourself—this is code for a child in a mud pit guarded by an overseer (usually a teenager) with an automatic rifle.
Here is the reality for politicians and celebrities who have already decided that the age of the green clean electric vehicle is here. The global supply chain and energy infrastructure are nowhere ready or prepared to handle the paper electric revolution.
LITHIUM TO THE RESCUE?
That being said, it doesn’t mean that the noble vision of a cleaner and healthier planet. The most exciting development is new technologies that shift the battery chemistry away from nickel and cobalt to more abundant lithium. But many of these emerging technologies are five to ten years away from being fully commercial.
The type of technological and energy infrastructure revolution required to support the much-touted green energy revolution is unfortunately twenty-five to thirty years away. Even that is probably a bit on the optimistic side as it assumes a relatively stable political and financial environment. As the last three months taught us, despite an extended period of peace and prosperity, uncertainty is always lurking around every corner, door knob or hand rail, as the case may be.
Like so many other issues, electric vehicles are an emotional one.
Many people think that electric vehicles are the transportation of the future. However, as we will see this is nothing short of fantasy, and unachievable.
The first thing we will look at is the demand side, where we will examine the feasibility of recharging electric vehicles as compared to the gasoline car. In part two, we will look at the supply side to see what would be involved in recharging electric vehicles in volume and what the electric grid can handle.
In part three, we will review materials involved in both green energy and electric vehicles, and finally the physical aspects of electric vehicles in daily transportation in different climates.
How long does it take to recharge an average electric car, and what are the energy requirements?
According to Motor Biscuit, it takes about 30 KW hours to travel 100 miles in an electric vehicle. That gives us a starting point for our discussion. About 3.3 million Americans have a commute of greater than 50 miles one way each day. The average commute is 30 minutes per day.
We can now calculate the kilowatt hours required for an average electric vehicle. Take a 10-mile commute one way, 5 days per week. That means 20 miles per day, or 30 KW hours for a 5-day work week. So how many miles per day do Americans drive per day? According to US government statistics, about 11 billion miles per day. Now we will divide that number by 100 and multiply by 30 KW hours. The answer is an astonishing 3.3 billion KW hours per day that would be required. It can take up to 40 hours to recharge an electric car on standard house current.
This implies that you may have to leave your electric vehicle on charge over the weekend. New technology may reduce the wait to a relatively short 5 minutes, but until that happens it takes hours on average to recharge an electric vehicle. If we averaged 6 hours at a charging station per vehicle, just 100 vehicles would take 600 hours, or more than 3 1/2 weeks to recharge 100 vehicles. Clearly, without new technology to quickly recharge electric vehicles, this is not feasible.
Now we will look at the supply side. Using our calculated daily amount of 3.3 billion KW hours, we will multiply that number by 365 days in a year. The answer is an approximate 1.204 trillion KW hours required by electric vehicles if everyone drove electric vehicles. In 2020, approximately 4.009 trillion KW hours were generated. (6) In order to supply all these hypothetical vehicles, we would have to increase the electricity supply by more than 25%. Can solar and wind do this? It takes about 10% more land for a “green” solar farm producing 100 megawatts than it does for a thermal energy plant. (7). Then we have the problem that “green” energy is intermittent and unreliable. Even if it wasn’t, one of the greatest construction projects in history, perhaps rivaling that of the pyramids, would be necessary to switch to solar and wind, though nuclear could take up some of the slack.
One quick glance at the materials needed tells a person that mass production, which depends on international sources, will be plagued with difficulties. The batteries are the primary issue, as they require materials such as rare earths that have to be imported. (8) Electric vehicles will also substantially impact supplies of copper, used in electric motors. (9)
Finally, there is the issue of cold weather. All vehicles are affected by climate; it’s a fact. However, while the gasoline car’s range is relatively unaffected by running the heater, you can’t say the same for an electric vehicle. Either a heat pump (to remove heat from the engine) or a resistance coil heater will be required in cold climates. Either will require a convection fan which further drains the battery. (10) Of course, getting stuck somewhere and having to use extra energy to get out of a snowbank is a terrifying prospect with such a vehicle.
To wrap up, electric vehicles stand as a monument to the failure of thinking and planning. They recharge too slowly, and would require greatly increased electric capacity. Building them, and then operating them in severe climates, is simply not feasible for most people.
Obama Legacy: List of Failed Obama Green Energy & Solar Companies: Losses in the Billions for Taxpayers. None Succeeded. The ridiculous All Electric Car Policy of the Biden Administration will go down as the greatest gift that our Country has ever given to China. They have, or control, 100% of the material necessary to make the BATTERY – We have nothing, but we have the “gasoline,” & they don’t. Electric cars are much more expensive, both to buy and to run, will NEVER go nearly as far, & will have very little overall impact on the environment. This is almost as “dumb” as the U.S. Border Policy. LET MARKET DECIDE! @realDonaldTrump
“There is no market, or not much of one, for vehicles that are less convenient and cost thousands of dollars more than similar-sized gas-powered alternatives – but do not save enough fuel to compensate. The basic theory of the Obama push for electric vehicles –
If you build them, customers will come – was a myth. And an expensive one, at that.” “The president’s new $2.3 trillion infrastructure proposal includes the same kinds of “green energy” provisions that cost taxpayers billions following the 2009 stimulus bill – The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).”
“The main problem with the government getting involved in subsidizing and mandating particular energy sources is that these policies try to prevent winners from winning and keep losers from losing. In the case of the Crescent Dunes solar array, even nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money wasn’t enough to keep it afloat.”
The One Billion Dollar Solar Failure in Nevada
A solar thermal plant in Nevada is the latest in the long list of Obama administration energy failures. The Crescent Dunes solar facility remains on the hook to repay $737 million in loan guarantees from the federal government, according to Bloomberg.
Unlike solar facilities in Minnesota, which use photovoltaic (PV) panels to turn sunlight into electricity, the Crescent Dunes plant used an array of mirrors to heat a tank filled with molten salt that would then heat water to generate steam and electricity.
The difference between solar PV and thermal solar plants like Crescent Dunes is important because PV panels have seen a reduction in cost of about 80 percent since 2010, causing solar thermal plants to fall out of favor with developers. As a result, solar thermal projects like Crescents Dunes are going belly up. But according to the Obama administration, it wasn’t supposed to be this way.
According to Bloomberg:
In 2011 the $1 billion project was to be the biggest solar plant of its kind, and it looked like the future of renewable power. Citigroup Inc. and other financiers invested $140 million with its developer, SolarReserve Inc. Steven Chu, the U.S. The Department of Energy secretary at the time, offered the company government loan guarantees, and Harry Reid, then the Senate majority leader and senior senator from Nevada, cleared the way for the company to build on public land. At a Washington celebration of SolarReserve’s public funding, Chief Executive Officer Kevin Smith told the assembled politicians, “We’re proud to be doing our part to win the future.”
It appears the future was lost, as the facility has been shut down since last April after the facility lost its last customer because the solar installation was too unreliable. According to the Bloomberg article, the cost of generating electricity from Crescent Dunes was $135 per megawatt hour, which is about 4.2 times more than the electricity generated at the Sherburne County coal plant in Becker, Minnesota.
Solar advocates will argue that the declining cost of solar PV is reason to continue building it, but they are missing the point. It is true that solar PV costs have fallen about 80 percent since 2010, according to Lawrence Berkeley Labs data, but solar panels are still more expensive (and less useful) than new natural gas plants.
The main problem with the government getting involved in subsidizing and mandating particular energy sources is that these policies try to prevent winners from winning and keep losers from losing. In the case of the Crescent Dunes solar array, even nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money wasn’t enough to keep it afloat. “The Department of Energy on Thursday announced that it had recovered some $200 million in taxpayer dollars loaned to a failed solar energy startup by the Obama administration.”
“That money represents just part of the $737 million that the Department of Energy previously issued to Tonopah Solar Energy in 2011; $424 million was still outstanding at the time the settlement was reached…” Trump Admin Recovers $200 Million From Obama-Era Solar Boondoggle (freebeacon.com) OK Trump recovered it so let’s see it handed out again. Oh wait I bet Ukraine’s gonna get that.  Big guy probably going to give Ukraine 5% the rest is going to Hunter Biden and special interest
A weapon of mass destruction is a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or any other weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to numerous individuals or cause great damage to artificial structures, natural structures, or the biosphere. The scope and usage of the term has evolved & been disputed, often signifying more politically than technically. Originally coined in reference to aerial bombing with chemical explosives during World War II, it has later come to refer to large-scale weaponry of warfare-related technologies, such as chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear warfare.
Fentanyl is killing more Americans ages 18-45 than COVID, but guess which one they classify as a “pandemic”?
But you missed the real point here, Covid didn’t do enough for depopulation, fentanyl could…why would they stop it if it’s working to reach their ultimate goal?
What about the numbers of people dying in hospitals for their covid protocols, which are being given because it makes $$$$$ for the hospital!!
They have nothing to do with what is best for the patients!
Bring on the Nuremberg trials for us all to watch!!
Jab has killed more teens than Covid. Good Lord, how long are we pretending heart attacks, strokes, Sudden death is not normal in young men!?
Well technically they both line their pocket books….
Fentanyl is in all of the hospitals. I heard a nurse tell my sister in law it was too soon for her to have any more Tylenol but she could have as much Fentanyl as she wanted. I looked at her like she had 2 heads. I guess Fentanyl is safer than Tylenol. When it was given to my Dad he told me he can see why it is so addictive and people use it recreationally. Both terrifying experiences for me esp after losing a friend to a fentanyl OD.
The one that makes Big Pharma the most money/They are both engineered chemical attacks by the exact same wef. Don’t divide them up. Exact same war with the exact same enemy. BIG Pharma could care less about saving human lives.
ALL about the $ ALMIGHTY DOLLAR to them.
Pharmaceutical comes from the Greek – Pharmakeia – It means Sorcery
They all make laws that will fatten their pockets regardless of how false their narrative is.
Big pharma contributed $6.3 mil to the 2020 campaign of Biden, nearly 4X more than to Trump, who took in $1.59 million. Since Biden took over, Big Pharma has spent $205 million to protect drug price status quo. The 3 Pharmacy Benefits Managers who control over 85% of drugs in the US for billions in kickbacks made an additional $3 billion through COVID. US the most expensive drugs in the world, over 2 X next highest-imports from India & China consumer prices up 156% since ACA. Big pharma owns Biden.
Strengthen Israel by diversity. …Build bridges not walls. Stop foreign aid to Israel until the racial composition of Israel reflects the racial composition of the planet @ChrisGKelly and @DC_Draino
Allowing/supporting deadly drugs coming into the country — drugs which are killing record numbers of young men — is No Accident. Part of the depopulation effort as well as creating a crisis only the gov’ment is able to solve. “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” – Obama lackey Rahm Emanuel
And if there isn’t a crisis serious enough, they create one…
Remember it’s Obama running the show now.
No dispute Pharma created and exacerbated opioid deaths. I suspect they are also connected to the fentanyl explosion.
Poison pushers!!! How long are they immune to class action lawsuits???!!!
Probably never.
Nonsense, that’s the cover story for Vax deaths. How does fentanyl interact with nonclinical myocarditis?
Both are tragic but you are right about the vaccine killing 10,000 + per day around the world. Both are forms of genocide. Sorry for everyone’s loss.
Please accept Jesus into your heart before it’s too late. He is the only one who can save each one of us! He loves each person and is waiting for you to love him back!
Is a free choice and gift for all.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg , America has been FLOODED with Heroin , Cocaine , and Meth for DECADES , and 80% of it either from or through Mexico ….. DECADES ….. I was an addict in the 1980’s , hooked on MEXICAN BLACK TAR HEROIN …. Guess where it came from ??? I KNOW what is lurking on our streets , and it is VERY BAD …. Trump is the ONLY President to truly address this horrid evil plaguing our nation FOR DECADES …. 50 years and counting , and it’s only getting worse
As a funeral director and embalmer I concur. The pandemic was a ruse.
Drug addiction is not. First time your choice; next not.
Drug addiction is one of the most sad of all I’ve seen. Good people trapped. @awakened2020
MSM is NOT reporting on this!! They are corrupt!! Justice will prevail to all of those with FakeNews!!
And Biden (meaning Hunter and Joe) are getting money from China so they won’t stop the production of fentanyl and they won’t stop the steady flow of potential new democrat voters/ perpetual welfare class from Central America ….
The Sorcerers put spells on you and pump you full of toxins to keep you sick and dependent. They start your normal little boys on ritalin diagnosing them as ADD. Imagine being five and having an attention disorder! Your “doctors” are big pharma reps in white coats. They tell you to stop nursing your babies (where God designed the mother to pass on immunities) and put them on man-made cocktails. May they all be accursed.
I was raised by oodles of nurses. From one great grandmother down. She, 3 of her daughters, one my grandma and half a dozen aunts on the other side. They ALL raised all of us. My gram told us to NEVER take the medicines the doctors give you unless you get an infection or hit by a bus. Said they would kill you. She died at 103, 3 years ago, as did her mom at 103 and another sister 102. They all tore up prescriptions on the way out of the docs and tossed them. Me too. Always.
I read the obits everyday. Since 2020 the year of our Lord.
Every week there are between 1 and 3 folks ages 18 to 45 that have overdosed.
I lost my son to it last month. It’s an unforgivable sin these people are allowing to happen to our children! I’m still in shock but I want to raise awareness to do as much as possible to prevent anyone else from such a tragic loss! This government is intentionally targeting our youth! My heart breaks for all the mothers, fathers and families that are experiencing this daily! There is nothing more traumatic than losing your child.
My oldest son would have had his 42 birthday 6 days after he passed.
I know your world is upside down but once I get this started we need to band together and try to save other families from this awful heartbreaking loss. Our children are not dying in vain if we do something positive to prevent it again.I’m trying to get my bearings together enough to start a nonprofit organization to help get the word out with protests and support for each other! And whatever we can do to help stop it from coming across the borders! Sharon @shay62
Just had a friend’s son die as well. It’s their plan. They know it, and they want these deaths. The 70s/80s heroin/crack epidemic. The government is the root of all problems these days. No reason to pretend otherwise. I am sorry for your loss. jktedrick @jktedrick
Fentanyl took one of my little girls 90 days ago today.
I have learned that there is so much on the streets that what you spent 20 dollars on just two years ago you can get for 3 dollars now. This is mass murder by our government. To make it worse they now are sending it looking like candy. Salt water taffy and others. We must VOTE this crime family out of office. Save our children and our country. I’m not taking the kids trick or treating this year. Family night with a good movie. I lost my first born son to crib death in 1989. The depths I went to only the Christian teaching could bring me out of it after 7 years of hell. I got the privilege to raise a total of 6 daughters and another son.
And now two autistic grandchildren. I have had so many blessings for the life I have lived. But the hurt I feel is as strong an emotion as all my blessings. Right now keeping my beautiful family together is my strength. These grandchildren are not of the daughter lost. One who’s Back VOTE red MAGA Mike @WellmanMike.
This is my daughter, Victoria, 4 months ago on Mother’s Day, passed away from #fentanyl. We are Still heartbroken and grieving Someone needs to put a stop to Biden’s #OpenBorders now AND put a stop to allowing these drugs coming through our border. They are killing our children. Same as with my daughter on Mothers Day I’m heartbroken ACajunPatriot @christellf26 #onepillkills#fentanylkills#fentanylcrisisonepillkilled.org/
Where I live there are billboards encouraging folks to learn how to use and carry Narcan. Something is fundamentally wrong with this picture.
Strange how they approved Narcan but never ivermectin.
I mean, wouldn’t they want them to die instead of reviving them???
Yea Narcan. It’s everywhere now and the prices have gone way up! Because now it’s a necessity whereas before it was optional. The fentanyl was supposed to make Covid seem much worse. They were likely hoping to count the fentanyl deaths in with the Covid deaths. Imagine if Trump hadn’t built the wall and cut off many of the drug trafficking supply routes.
That’s just the tip of the Iceberg , America has been FLOODED with Heroin , Cocaine , and Meth for DECADES , and 80% of it either from or through Mexico ….. DECADES …..
I was an addict in the 1980’s , hooked on MEXICAN BLACK TAR HEROIN …. Guess where it came from ??? I KNOW what is lurking on our streets , and it is VERY BAD …. Trump is the ONLY President to truly address this horrid evil plaguing our nation FOR DECADES …. 50 years and counting , and it’s only getting worse.
Trump began disbanding the Pharmacy Benefit Managers and was sued. Biden undid what little Trump was able to accomplish. When Biden talks about lowering prescription prices it’s all BS. He’s talking about 5 drugs out of thousands. It’s the corrupt PBMs. Biden is a bowl of mashed potatoes. Biden is a puppet of the globalists. The ones who pulled off the 2020 coup via fraudulent election. See Obama as the local stringmaster.
Who do you think makes Fentanyl? Same people who bring you the jab. Every 3 weeks, we lose just as many Americans to fentanyl as we did on 9/11.
When I broke my neck doctors and Big Pharma tried to kill me with prescription Fentanyl.
I came off it cold turkey and that literally almost killed me. Did not sleep for 6 straight days and on day 7 I managed to get 2 hours sleep. melmaniam @melmaniam
That’s just contraband. They also supply us with over 90% of all the supplemental vitamins that we take. Check the label. It’s all made in China. 
Easy fix: move to the country, only eat locally raised or grown and you will have no need for any Chinese goods.
The only way out of this is keep your $ in your pocket and do not feed the beast.
On August 25, 1939, The Wizard of Oz, opened in theaters around the United States.
Based on the 1900 children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,
by L. Frank Baum (1856-1919), the film starred Judy Garland as the young Kansas farm girl Dorothy, who, after being knocked unconscious in a tornado, dreams about following a yellow brick road, alongside her dog Toto, to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz. Along the way, Dorothy encounters a cast of characters, including the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Though the scenes in Kansas were shot in traditional black and white, Oz appears in vivid Technicolor, a relatively new film process at the time. Nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Picture category, The Wizard of Oz lost to the Civil War-era epic Gone With the Wind. The Wizard of Oz won a Best Song Oscar for “Over the Rainbow,” which became one of Garland’s signature hits. Garland won a special award at that year’s Oscar ceremony, for Best Juvenile Performer.
Filmed at MGM Studios in Culver City, California, The Wizard of Oz was a modest box-office success when it was first released, but its popularity continued to grow after it was televised for the first time in 1956. An estimated 45 million people watched that inaugural broadcast, and since then The Wizard of Oz has aired on TV countless times. Today, some of the film’s famous lines, including “There’s no place like home” and “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore” are well-known to several generations of moviegoers.
The Wizard of Oz spawned two sequels, Journey Back to Oz (1974), an animated film featuring the voice of Judy Garland’s daughter, Liza Minnelli, and Return to Oz (1985). A remake with an African American cast, The Wiz, starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, was released in 1978 with music arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones. The Wizard of Oz was one of the first 25 films to be put on the National Film Registry, which is reserved for culturally or historically significant movies.

– Honest – Kind – Respectful – Supportive – Enthusiastic – Can cope with change –
Have a sense of humor – Are reliable
Choose people who are good for your mental health. More Importantly, ignore certain people to maintain your mental health. Although empathy is important, it’s not enough to enhance your mental health. You also want someone to be able to share his or her experiences and open up to you. Understand that your life, no matter in what form, should be a ‘safe haven‘.
Far too many humans have too low self-esteem and let other people in, even though they don‘t really want them to join. It‘s better to be alone than with toxicity around you. Choose your people wisely. The latter is a priority. Yes, have the right people in your circle. If they bring you down, leave them behind; it’s not worth your growth.
Cherish these people. There are not many around with true sincerity.
“Choose people who: choose you, ask how you are, see you, let you be you, feel good about your nervous system, you can breathe easily around, you don’t need to perform for, are good for your mental health, want to see you win, don’t try to control you.” @EssentialMastry and @MindHaste … Choose people who lift you up.
Don’t waste your time on people who don’t matter; focus on the right people.
If you can’t control who you’re around, don’t let their words affect you.
Be so at peace with yourself that no words can penetrate your mind.
Zen is about reacting without a pause
The more you react, the more you unconsciously repeat the past. The more you pause and respond, the more you consciously create the future. Practice the pause. A person who pauses before reacting is a very powerful person. Being able to listen and think more than react opens you up to a plethora of self-awareness and growth opportunities. It takes maturity and emotional intelligence to choose peace and understanding over impulse reactiveness.
you don’t have to internalize another person’s negative emotions. you don’t have to absorb their trauma, energy, or anger. reactions and responses aren’t always necessary. —as your awareness rises, you will choose to not engage or react to another person’s inner conflict. The older you get, the more you realize that not everyone deserves an explanation and the max they can get from you is “okay”. Realize at what point you are in your life and don’t let anyone bother you! Not everyone deserves the right to create the future. Some people are locked into instinctual response cycles for a reason. Is it because when we pause we give our hearts a chance to take part in our reaction, and can we say the mind will not be in full control? The pause brings you back to self awareness and self control, there you’ll have your power once again in a chaotic moment of others continuing to project and trauma bond still.You are in control of you, be grateful for that.
S T O P Explaining yourself to people
You owe no one no explanation of what you do Live Your Life the way you wish. Always maintain control over your composure. This is something that only made sense to me over the past couple of years. It’s more about breaking out of that “compliance mindset” they indoctrinate you with in childhood.
That’s maturity brother. It’s not every narrative that’s deserving of an explanation. Some details are a foregone conclusion.
When pressure is applied, handle it with a stone face. Think logically constantly and aim to move forward.
The faster life goes, the more often you need to pause. Always breathe deeply, calmly, centred and relaxed! In the pause you hear the call. In the pause you get the “aha” moments. In the pause you get creative. Your power lies in the pause.
Take a deep breath and you’ll realize that most of the time, it’s not about you but about them. Trust, but don’t be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself. Don’t lose yourself to unconscious and low vibration behaviors. Life is all about balance. Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you.
Avoid at all costs.
Control your emotions to keep your energy flowing in the right direction.
Use that negative energy in a positive way and I’m sure that will make a big difference. Your emotions and passion can be a great asset or a detrimental liability You’ll never cross an emotional bridge, if you keep rushing back to the other side. Your emotions are the hardest thing to control. Emotions are like fire. Control it and make your dinner or let it go and burn down the world. Once you learn to control them then you become a stronger person. Don’t waste energy on unnecessary things which mean nothing to you.
What are your best tips for controlling your energy? Emotional mastery is a goal we should all work towards True, take control of your emotions or they consume you. They are a powerful source of creation, or the harbinger of your destruction. Regulate or be consumed because where your attention goes your energy flows Your choice…Exactly, you must control them, or they control you.
Always breathe deeply, calmly, centered and relaxed…
Our fictions give us meaning and a lens to see the world. Nothing wrong with that as that’s how human psychology works.The danger is if those fictions are based on false evidence and detached from reality. Technically it’s all fiction. Our senses do the best to interpret reality. We don’t even know how close our take is as our senses basically suck ass, to say it technically. In a way it is. It all comes down to mental models that facilitate interpreting sensorial info. But if we use the wrong model and/or have compromised/lack good sensorial info, operating in the real world is difficult. Absolutely. The truth is our senses can only pick up a fraction of a fraction of what’s out there. But when I learned we see 0.001% of the light spectrum and hear 0.001% of the sound spectrum… There are a few gaps
Once we stop lying to ourselves we’ve begun to become who we could be.You must destroy the fiction in your head, so you can live your true story. Emotions are involved in our decision making and daily energy more than most think When you decide how to act, that’s a superpower. Control your emotions and you control your future. Lust makes a man do things, a man with self-respect wouldn’t do. One should always put reason before emotion. channel them rightly. The world is interconnected and interdependent. That is the challenge. We can drive a hard self-narrative on ourselves. As they say it’s never as bad as it looks, nor is it as good as it appears. Take the fiction out of your head and turn your reality into “fiction” The fiction in your head creates imaginary barriers that don’t exist. You are just existence itself. You are only pure awareness… Your thoughts? well that part is not you. Just a movie playing constantly on the screen of your existence. Realize they are not the same and you’ll be free.
We rise and fall together.
Oh wow, see how the media is..
Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again…
Do not waste mental energy on things that are out of your control. You already have a hard enough life.
Great mental health and wellness message! A lot of things happening around us are the way they are and we ourselves choose how to perceive them. Being happy is a choice! Being dissatisfied and unhappy is also a choice. I love to see that you chose to be happy Perspective is everything
Type carefully, because people like me will think you’re talking about something interesting … those who see the positive light in most situations

There is never anything negative but only ever a positive
. The negative feelings are lessons to be learned
These make us stronger and let that sink in… Life has interesting way of teaching even the most powerful people
that joy from wealth is fleeting at best
“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” – Marcus Aurelius
“The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears it is true.” -J. Robert Oppenheimer
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. This includes science.
Happiness is a mindset, one can literally be broken or going through hell & still choose to be happy; Looking for a silver lining in every situation is a tactic to surviving life, & someone’s ability to hold out against the stormy weather is what makes him or her a strong person.
