FUK JOE BIDEN ALL THE WAY TO GITMO
The collapse of California is the template for ushering in authoritarianism
The annual death toll from fentanyl poisoning in U.S. now equals the annual death toll of American soldiers in World War II. But Biden has made no effort to deter the Chinese from poisoning Americans by ending the subsidies we provide to their economy or revoking Most Favored Nation status, or closing all the Confucius Institutes in our universities set up to steal our technologies. From the Chinese point of view, this alone would be worth millions they poured to Biden's pockets.

Sen. Grassley: Sinaloa Cartel Killed DEA Cooperators While Agency Played Politics with Indictments
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration slow-walked an
investigation into the Sinaloa Cartel faction of Los Chapitos
and played politics with other federal agencies, according to
U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in a letter sent to the U.S.
Department of Justice. The senator claimed that the DEA and
the U.S. Attorney’s office delayed investigations and
cooperation with other agencies while the drug lords killed
two cooperators in Mexico and continued spreading their drug
empire and fentanyl distribution.
In a letter sent to U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, Grassley asked several questions about the matter and requested information about the death of two DEA cooperators in Mexico. The senator also asked why prosecutors allowed the agency to continue their investigation even after that. The Iowa senator also asked about measures to ensure impartiality and objectivity in reviewing DEA actions presented to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
As Breitbart Texas reported, DEA Administrator Anne Milgram announced a series of indictments against the Chapitos in April, naming several of their operators and accusing them of being behind the current Fentanyl crisis. At the time, Milgram claimed they had infiltrated the Sinaloa Cartel and had informants close to the Chapitos.
The letter by Grassley points to rivalries between agencies and notes that the DEA worked their own case against the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel even though the FBI and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) already had an ongoing case in other districts. Grassley claimed that the DEA and the U.S. Attorney’s Office dissuaded the other agencies from looking into the Chapitos, pushed them away from their ongoing cases, and issued “stand down” orders.
The letter from Grassley dealt a heavy blow to the U.S. DEA’s claims of targeting Los Chapitos at a time when the criminal organization has seen unrivaled growth in Mexico and the United States.
“While an estimated 111,000 Americans died of drug overdoses,” Grassley said, “Administrator (Anne) Milgram appears to have coordinated more with the press than with other federal agencies to expose the cartels and crack down on these tragic overdose deaths.”

Survey: Washington D.C. Ranked Least Desirable Place to Live
A survey has ranked Washington, DC, as the least desirable place to live due to its high crime rate and cost of living.
The survey from Home Bay, a real estate education platform, asked people about the most desirable place to live based on crime rates, affordable homes, and cost of living.
“Rural (21%) and suburban (24%) residents agree that the District is the most undesirable city, while urban residents (16%) rank it No. 4.,” the survey said.
The survey also found that Seattle, Washington, is the most desirable and most underrated place to live:
The most desirable places to live have a low crime rate (46%), affordable homes (43%), and a low cost of living (41%).
More than 1 in 3 Americans agree that high crime (41%), a high cost of living (36%), expensive homes (34%), and high taxes (33%) make a place overrated.
Americans consider Seattle the most desirable city in the U.S. and the most underrated — stealing the distinction from Virginia Beach. Americans say the most overrated city in the U.S. is New York, while the least desirable city is Washington, D.C.
The survey comes after a Giant grocery store in Southeast Washington, DC, announced it will be removing name brands like Advil, Colgate, and Tide from its shelves to better prevent a spike in theft. The store also stated that shoppers will be required to show their receipts to security guards before exiting the store. Ira Kress, president of the chain, told the Washington Post that the store can no longer serve the community by keeping its stores at high risk.
“We want to continue to be able to serve the community, but we can’t do so at the level of significant loss or risk to our associates that we have today,” Kress said.
“I don’t want to do this — I’d like to sell [those products],” Kress later added. “But the reality is that Tide is not a profitable item in this store … In many instances people stock the product and within two hours it’s gone, so it’s not on the shelf anyway.”
Kress also said the store has seen theft rise “tenfold in the last five years” while violence has steadily increased, most especially at the store on Alabama Avenue in D.C.
“And we’ve invested a significant amount of money here, even more security here than any other store,” he said.
Products like Tide detergent, Schick razors, Dove soap, and Degree deodorant will no longer be available on the shelves. Diane Hicks, senior vice president of operations, said leaving such products out will turn the store into a crime magnet.
“I’ve been leaving it out for our customers and unfortunately it just forces all the crime to come to us,” Hicks said.

Philadelphia’s Police Commissioner Resigning as Crime, Drugs Ravage City
Democrat-run Philadelphia’s Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw is preparing to resign as crime and drug use take a heavy toll on residents.
More than three years after taking the role, Outlaw will step down on September 22, Fox 29 reported Tuesday, adding she will soon thereafter take the job of deputy security chief at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
“It has been my honor and privilege to serve during Mayor Kenney’s administration and alongside each member of the Philadelphia Police Department. The hard work, resilience, and professionalism of our force is truly commendable,” Outlaw stated.
Her resignation comes as several gunmen killed one person and wounded eight others during a recent block party in the city, Breitbart News reported, adding, “Philadelphia’s Office of Controller pointed out there have been 270 homicides in the city thus far in 2023. Nearly 250 of those homicide victims were killed with guns.”
In addition, Philadelphia is also facing a crisis with tranq — also known as Xylazine –addicts roaming near Kensington and Allegheny Avenues amid the area’s drug epidemic.
The “zombie drug” rots the flesh of users who sometimes must undergo amputations.
“It’s called Xylazine, or tranq, an animal tranquilizer cut with America’s street drug of the moment, fentanyl,” Sky News reported in February.
Video footage shows the horrific toll it takes on the bodies of victims:
More than 500 homicides occurred in Mayor Jim Kenney’s (D) Philadelphia in 2022, “making 2022 the second consecutive year that the threshold of at least 500 homicides has been reached,” Breitbart News reported in January.
When speaking of her resignation, Kenny said Outlaw “has worked relentlessly for three and a half years during an unprecedented era in our city and a number of crisis situations,” adding she deserves to be praised for working to bring “long-overdue reform” to the agency.
Breitbart News has extensively covered issues surrounding the city of Philadelphia.
A ‘poop’ rampage in Wyoming is an important insight into today’s homeless
The headline at the Daily Mail was eye-catching: “Squatters take over Wyoming city: Vagrants leave millions of dollars worth of damage to motel and 500lbs of human feces in downtown area - as Casper fights off a homeless invasion.” It was an image at odds with how we think of Wyoming; that is, a clean, naturally beautifully conservative state. But the homeless plague is everywhere, and the situation in Casper reminds us that most of today’s homeless are not just ordinary people down on their luck; they are dysfunctional drug addicts who are the inevitable result of 60 years of leftist drug policies.
The Daily Mail has the details behind the headline:
Squatters have taken over a Wyoming city after some left millions of dollars worth of damage to a motel and others left 500lbs of feces in the downtown area.
Casper, the second-largest city in the state, is home to 60,000 residents but now also has about 200 homeless people.
Some have seized various properties that are empty or abandoned, including an abandoned Econo Lodge motel that hasn’t operated since November.
Casper Mayor Bruce Knell described the extent of destruction as akin to ‘third-world-country stuff’.
The remainder of the article explains that the hotel, after suffering water damage, was foreclosed upon and boarded up. However, homeless drug addicts broke into the 300-room hotel and used it as a giant latrine and shooting gallery. The mayor is at his wit’s end:
Image by Mayor Bruce Knell (note the needles on the table). Public domain photo by a public official.
City officials admit they have run out of ideas with how to effectively deal with the growing numbers of vagrants and note that fines and arrests do not seem to be working when it comes to sorting out the problem.
‘We know very well we cannot litigate our way or arrest our way out of the problem, but our police need some teeth to start dealing with the squatting,’ Mayor Knell said. ‘They’re just causing so many problems.’
‘In desperate times people do desperate things, and unfortunately we’re the ones left having to deal with it,’ he continued.
Did you catch the error in the mayor’s thinking? He says that the homeless people occupying Casper are victims of “desperate times.” But it’s apparent from the destruction in the hotel that these people are not the victims of the Biden economy. These are the same people who have taken over the streets in Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles: They are drug addicts.
One of the things the left has pushed since the 1960s is lax drug policies. Indeed, Biden is contemplating loosening restrictions around pot. But the reason Western culture developed its drug policies wasn’t because every political office was filled with a joy-hating religious fundamentalist. It’s because promiscuous drug use destroys people and, by extension, destroys societies.
Sure, as hippies loved to argue, the Indians used peyote, but they did so in a controlled way through religious ceremonies. What we’ve created now is a bacchanal of substance abuse.
The Daily Mail has reported on what’s become apparent ever since Colorado and Washington state legalized pot: It’s terribly damaging, with links to severe mental health problems, such as depression, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, psychotic breaks, and schizophrenia. (That doesn’t even count its role as a gateway drug for other, harder drugs.) Additionally, for every Louis Armstrong and Lee Child who uses pot as a creative engine, there are thousands of people who simply become inert, for pot turns most people into slackers.
Back to Casper: If desperately poor people destroyed by the Biden economy had broken into that hotel, they would have done their best to treat it like a home. They would have created a latrine area outdoors, in the back, and would have preserved the rooms so that they were livable. The people who broke in, though, were merely focused on protecting themselves from the elements while they engaged in the behaviors flowing from their addictions. Their drug use reduced them to animal status.
Casper is experiencing the results of a deliberately created national drug policy intended to destroy America. I have no advice for Casper beyond warehousing these people (literally putting them in a warehouse) and depriving them of drugs. Then, the ones who are still crazy should be institutionalized, while those who are merely dried-out drug addicts should be imprisoned. But basically, one damaged town is just a pebble trying to block the raging stream of an intentionally broken culture. (Having said that, now that I’ve learned that Casper has an LGBTQ+ advisory committee, meaning the city has gone woke, I’m less sorry for it than I was before.)
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE DEMS' DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA AS THEY FILL THEIR POCKETS!
California Highway Patrol Policing Open Air Drug Use in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is pulling officers from the California highway patrol to San Francisco’s Tenderloin district as part of a multi-agency initiative to crack down on open air drug dealings and drug use.
Since May 30, highway patrol officers have made 100 drug related arrests, CNN reported. In one instance, a highway patrol officer arrested a drug dealer allegedly selling 33 grams of fentanyl which had the potential to kill 16,500 people.
Local authorities have apprehended 300 suspected drug dealers since the protocol changes.
Gov. Newsom’s office announced that California highway patrol officers have seized enough fentanyl to kill 2.1 million — three times the population of San Francisco — since deploying officers to the Tenderloin district since May 1.
Additionally, in the first six weeks of the operation, the CHP seized over 957 grams of methamphetamine, 319 grams of cocaine, and 31 grams of heroin and made 92 felony and misdemeanor arrests – including on charges related to possession of fentanyl, illegal firearm possession, driving under the influence, and domestic violence.
However, many of those arrested on drug dealing and drug use charges are released back onto the streets as soon as their case is filed, according to district attorney Brooke Jenkins, who was elected in 2022. Her office has filed 1,000 drug dealing cases, and she said they have put in motion to detain 200 of the most serious offenders awaiting trial. However, the judges only remanded 17 of those charged, leaving the rest to return to the streets.
“I’m not going to take the blame when my prosecutors are going in and arguing that these people have to remain in custody,” Jenkins told CNN. “The judges are not doing their part and that has to be revealed.”
RELATED: San Francisco Man Saves Stranger from Apparent Fentanyl Overdose
@RawRicci415 / TwitterWhile overall crime is down by 1 percent when compared to the same period ending in 2022, drug offenses have climbed by 36 percent, the San Francisco Standard reported.
While authorities are releasing most of those charged with drug dealing and drug use; the prison population reached 1,000 for the first time in years last month. Now officials are discussing whether to reopen a jail closed three years ago for being “seismically unsafe, outdated and in disrepair.”
Some have called the arrests made for open drug use simply putting a Band-Aid on the epidemic.
“We can’t fill the jails with people to fuel the political agendas of a few politicians,” Diana Block, a member of the No New SF Jails Coalition told the Standard. “We refuse to turn back the progress that we in San Francisco have fought for for years.”
Piece of Berlin Wall Placed in Mexico near U.S. Border Barrier as ‘Message’
Mexican officials in Tijuana placed a three-ton section of the former Berlin Wall near the U.S. border with a message to “build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges.” The message ignores the stark difference in purpose between the two barriers.
During a ceremony in August, Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero and former Mexican Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard installed the 12-meter high segment of the fallen Berlin Wall — a wall designed by the former Soviet Union to keep communist-controlled German citizens locked inside and became an icon of the Cold War-era. Guards would frequently use deadly force to stop their citizens from fleeing the oppressive regime.
In sharp contrast, the U.S.-built border barrier is designed to stop the illegal flow of migrants across the border from Mexico into California.
A plaque on the wall segment donated by the Falling Walls Foundation bears a message from Mayor Caballero which reads, in part, “”May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges,” Fox News reported.
Mayor Caballero acknowledged the difference in purpose of the two walls. “The social and political conflict is different than the Berlin Wall, but it’s a wall at the end of the day,” the Tijuana mayor said.
The mayor added that she respects the idea that the U.S. must enforce its own borders. She then added that the U.S. border wall represents “violence” and “family separation.”
She did not explain if a Mexican border wall along its border with Guatemala also represents “violence” and “family separation.”
