NARCAN: The Wonder Overdose Drug the Pushers Love!

 NARCAN Overdose Drug - A Love Kiss to the Pushers  

By James Terminiello 

The radio commercial is so benevolent. Two apparently young and earnest people discuss a mutual friend who would have died of a drug overdose at a party but for the rapid use of NARCAN. An equally benevolent voice tells us that this wonder nasal spray is available free of charge and no questions asked at your local pharmacy.    

Once again, our caregiver government comes to the rescue of the irresponsible.  

But it’s free of charge.  

Well, no. Those are your tax dollars that are making it free of charge. 

But it saves lives. 

Well, no. Do you really think reckless drug users are going to learn their lesson and be extra special careful when they use drugs recklessly the next time? 

But users will think twice. 

Well, no. Not if there is no requirement to get drug addiction therapy after they are saved by NARCAN. The user is not required to do anything. 

But drug use is so commonplace, and we must take some measures to make it safer. 

Well, no. Do you really think adding a safety net is going to decrease drug use? Do you really think that being safe is top of mind when a user dives in for another high? “By gum, I could use a nice dose of that safe heroin!” 

No, my friends. The slide continues. States are decriminalizing drugs all over the place. The myth that marijuana is NOT a gateway drug has been firmly planted and taken root. Now we are giving away a dose that can bring a junkie back from the brink with no consequences or degree of responsibility. 

The War on Drugs was lost. Actually, it was never fought. There was too much money to be made for too many people. Now all we can do is clean up the mess we must live in.  

Drug pushers of the world rejoice!  

With NARCAN, your junkie will live to buy another day!

The October 7 attack was inevitable

  Why was  October 7 inevitable ?   One word: Extortion By James Terminiello     It’s difficult now but if you run a web search to find images of the Gaza Str i p before the current war , you w ould encounter a  place of wrenching poverty ; decay ; and , until recently , qui e t despair .     As an economic entity Gaza could not and did not operate without funds injected from many sources including the U.S., some Arab nations, and, yes, Israel. Naturally, as with all aid from afar, too much of it finds its way into the wrong pockets most of the time. As a place to live Gaza practically stewed in depression which easily and naturally turns into envy and fury - particularly when you see other nations prospering on your mobile device.     Isr ael’s forlorn hope was that if you lined the pockets of Hamas and other minor semi-political, semi-military, semi-religious organizations with extortion money they would slurp up th...

Yuletide Don'ts from The Ghost of Christmas Past

  Warnings from the Ghost of Christmas Past     By G. C. Past      I am the Ghost of Christmas Past and I manifest each year at this time to give warning to those who commit unpardonable seasonal transgressions that a more forgiving deity might, and I say might , overlook.      Hear me and reform, lest I haunt you to your air-parched, terminal breath.      Place not on thy innocent lawn those hideous inflatable yuletide decorations. When the blessed sun doth crack the dawn, they deflate and resemble crime scene pools of blood and smashed egg yolks . In short, they infect the eyes! Away with them!     Gift not the decorative wine stopper for it shall be abandoned with lightening haste in early January at your local thrift shop. Many pine away on haunted shelves at this very moment subject to their latest, and not last, re-gifting. Know well that those w ho drink deep of the fermented grape drain each soldier...
