As part of touting Trump’s huge success in blocking fentanyl from crossing America’s southern border, Pam Bondi stated both (1) that the administration has seized fentanyl in quantities that are enough to kill almost 80% of Americans and (2) that all sorts of less toxic street drugs are laced with fentanyl, making them deadly. Leftists instantly seized upon how it sounded as if she said that Trump had saved 249 million people in 100 days.
That was to be expected. But the same attack came from Jonah Goldberg, a one-time conservative. Goldberg’s response illustrates the danger Trump faces from the “faux” right, which claims to be conservative but long ago abandoned those principles in favor of its overwhelming hatred for Donald Trump. For these NeverTrumpers, immured in their high-end D.C. and Manhattan neighborhoods, getting Trump is significantly more important than saving Americans from the joint depredations of China and Mexico.

Fentanyl problems aren’t limited to completely dysfunctional addicts in broken communities. Instead, the news is rife with stories of ordinary Americans dying from taking what they thought were non-lethal illicit drugs.

Trump, though, quickly controlled the border. Suddenly, we went from
15,000 illegal entries per day to 178. When you control the border, you capture illicit drugs and cut off future attempts at smuggling them in. It was this success that Pam Bondi has boasted about:

In another press briefing, she made a similar claim, although she spoke of even more illegal drug seizures and said that doing so had saved “258 million lives,” adding that American children die daily from fentanyl laced drugs:
Bondi, quite obviously, was also speaking about all those illicit drugs that are laced with fentanyl (see above), elevating them from merely stupid and self-destructive to completely deadly.
But of course, that’s not how the Trump haters chose to interpret it. As
Rolling Stone states, “Pam Bondi Flatters Trump With Claim That 75% of America Would Be Dead if Not For Him.”
That’s what one expects from leftists.

Since the phrase
Fifth Columnist originated during the 1930s Spanish Civil War, we’ve understood that the deadliest enemy often isn’t necessarily the open one, arrayed against on the battlefield. Instead, it’s that fifth column, working from within to undermine a movement. The RINOs and Never-Trumpers are America’s Fifth Columnists, parading around in the uniform of conservatism, but doing their best, through snark, disinformation, and deliberate stupidity, to elevate the Democrats to permanent power.
Commentary:
“In 2022, the last year for which there is full data,
almost 74,000 Americans died from fentanyl overdoses. By contrast, in that same year, around
21,000 died from gun crime. The difference in risk to Americans is striking.”
America is not only under attack from international terrorists, and Globalists m but also the Marxist Democrat Left in our gov't. The Left is far too cunning. They will use any distraction to avoid letting people (voting American citizens) to look at anything, absolutely anything, except the truth. Drugs in general; are not good for casual use (neither is porn). the Marxist Left (called Democrats & RINOs here in America) have done everything in its power to make the American voters believe that a little dope is okay, after all, “it’s just pot” was the original mantra in the 60s and 70s (but you may have forgotten that).
What we are seeing today is the result. How do you like the result? If you don’t like the result the best thing you can do is join with the Democrats and RINOs is teaching people that government should just do more to rehabilitate all the drug users they have encouraged over the years. After all, the left teaches that abstinence can’t possibly work.
