Trump’s Fake Drug War

I know we’re murdering fisher folk in the Caribbean and Pacific so Trump can jactate over the war on drugs, but it is a fake war. He’s fapping to so much AI slop and murdering folks to sweeten the deal. Just like every other addicting activity people get up to, you got to keep pushing it to the extremes to keep it interesting.

Instead of reducing the intake of cocaine and fentanyl, which isn’t smuggled by sea routes, it’s been increasing under Trump. Of course, we ignore the easiest factor to manage illegal drugs, demand. If we would decriminalize and improve treatment, we would lower demand. It has been done in other countries. There’s no reason not to do it here other than the lack of political will.

The record-breaking cocaine boom — and its deadly fallout

Christian Nationalism is in the Same Places as the Klan

The polling company, PRRI, has produced an atlas of Christian Nationalism. Christian Nationalism is just a sanitized what of saying white supremacy or naked blatant deadly racism. And, suprise suprise suprise it maps to the same areas as the Klan did back in the day. It is strong support for the geography of culture arguments Ye Olde Blogge has been using.

Here are the other socially undesirable traits that it correlates with:

  • Frequent Christian religious service attendance. Notice that it isn’t Muslim or Hindu religious services and I”m willing to bet the non-denominational versions of Christianity are excluded, too.
  • A majority of Republicans answer survey questions like Christian Nationalists.
  • Consumers of far right news media — no surprise there, amirite?
  • Support for Trump — no sht. Go figure.
  • Republican dominated state legislatures
  • Supporters of political violence and authoritarianism — support grew under Biden and diminished with Trump’s reelection.
  • Anti-migrant views
  • Anti-vaxxers
  • Over half of the respondents in Arkansas, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Wyoming

Of particular concern is the decline in Christian nationalism rejectors. It peaked in 2023 with 32% and was 26% of those surveyed in 2024. I wonder what happened in 2024?

From the Social Medias

Most of these speak for themselves and all of them are from my Bluesky feed.

The ICE Withdrawal from Minnesota

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

As many people have said, Believe when you see it. Unfortunately, national news coverage has slowed down quite a bit. I guess the MSM is just believing. Sounds about right.

There is a lot of reporting that ICE is going to greater lengths to dupe people into approaching them by taking advantage of Minnesota niceness and pretending to have car trouble, hiding their plates, going plainclothes, and pretending to be anything other than ICE because distrust destroys democracy.

Reaping the Windfall of the Anti-Vaxxers

It isn’t enough that we have measles breaking out in record numbers around the nation, now we’re seeing mumps. What’s next polio and whooping cough? Are we going to start opening iron lung wards in the few remaining hospitals that we have? Are TB sanatoriums going to make a come back?

How many people is Trump going to kill before he is removed from office?

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Was it CERN?

What bumped us into this dimension? Was it CERN going to full power in June 2015? Put us back. I don’t like it here.

There’s a Whole Lot of Crazy to get Through

We’ve got three long years until 20 January 2029 — Inauguration Day for those who need it. There’s a whole lot of crazy to get through until then.

I’ve seen on my social media feed people openly fretting that Trump can some how enact voter ID through an executive order. He can’t y’all. Executive orders do not have weight of law. They affect the administration mostly, not the states.

One of our biggest dangers is going to be when state and local police forces square off with the FBI or other national forces to prevent another Fulton Country from happening. Speaking of which, why isn’t there more reporting on the judge who signed off on the dubious search warrant? The legal reporting that I’ve seen says that there was no legal basis for the seizure, so why’d a judge sign off on it?

Okay, that’s about enough for this week from our stupidest timeline. I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand no more this week. Until next week’s post, let us know what you think we probably missed in the news but shouldn’t’ve.
