Trump this.

This is interesting because in Canada, Schedule 1 drugs are still totally used in medical care if needed.

The schedule system is a failure. It's a legacy of Nixon's failed "War On Drugs". The tracking requirements are useful for monitoring chain of custody but when you look at the State of Florida and the pill mills that set up shop there in the 2000s, it just shows that making drugs scheduled doesn't stop the abuse. When I lived in LA, most of the Vicodin addicts were getting their pills from unethical physicians.

When I almost choked to death a couple of years ago, I got the Fentanyl/Ketomine combo....never want it again...but understand why it is so effective.

Ketamine (for human use) went from non-scheduled to schedule 3. It's probably one of the most abused drugs in the gay clubs these days. And now that it being used for mood elevation, it's legitimized the abuse.


It will be interesting to see whether the last go round of opioid deaths were due to the pandemic stress, the Trump chaos... or both. We're still seeing a lot of suicides in males under 50, although it did peak during the pandemic.

As you can guess, Fentanyl and Ketamine are a real scourge in Canada as well with more than 20 times the amount coming in from the US than through Canada to the US.

I don't think the hardcore addicts care who is in power or what middle class stresses are. The addicts are invariably so damaged for other reasons that as you note...they are just looking for something to stop the pain, while the rest of us who didn't get hooked on opioids or party drugs just buy better and better wine and liquor to shut our brains off.

What I realized with the Ketamine and Fentanyl in my own case is that it plunged me into a depression that I only understood by talking with my Doc and reading tons about...so for people who don't have access to this info...so many would be just looking for the next hit.

Canada is trying to deal with opioid addiction as a public health issue instead of a criminal issue. We have the methadone dispensaries, including those in our largest pharmacy chain, safe injection sites and the attitude of outreach and compassion among the churches, John Howard Society and community support.

I will look up the numbers of suicides and deaths in Canada to see how we compare. But I find the US numbers beyond horrific.

I fear that as more and more people are cut off from grace and support of services in the US, the level of suicides and deaths will skyrocket.

There's some traits that are uniquely American. One of them is short memories.

Those Republicans running around gleefully giving interviews saying, "Democrats are just going to have to get used to it" benefit from having short memories of what it was like when they were in the minority for a generation because of their overreach during the 1950s.

Democrats, with their short memories, are chasing after the gleeful cutting spree of Project 2025, forgetting that we are where we are because of the 2017 tax cuts on the wealthy which caused massive revenue shortfalls just a year before the pandemic and the massive spending from 2020-2021 that it took to keep the American economy working during the mess that Trump made from the pandemic.

Just a small example of why we are here: in the 2000s, a lot of us were trying to get someone to pay attention to the VA and how it was being underfunded at time when nearly 1,000,000 solders served from 2001 thru 2021 in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Congress did not prepare the VA for the onslaught of the number of wounded and the number of PTSD patients they would receive. As a result, War On Terror veterans are more 4 times more likely to commit suicide compared to non-veterans. A large number of the Proud Boys and other right wing militia members are veterans of that war.

We need to keep that in mind: this "starve the government of income then use it as an excuse to cut services" is going to have fallout. It might mean that your local school district has to raise taxes to pay for Special Ed programs that the Federal Department of Education funded. It might be that your local farmer has to declare bankruptcy because USAID isn't buying his grain to send to famine victims. It might be that there's no EPA money to cleanup the toxic burn sites in Los Angeles before the rainy season. It might be that another veteran kills himself because he can't get a VA appointment for mental health care.

Well.. while we're talking about virtue signalling legislation and stupid things that government does.

The House passed the "Halt Fentanyl Act" which makes fentanyl a Schedule I drug, which is defined as "having no medical use". It's there with MDMA, psychedlics, PCP, heroin and, yes, marijuana. Sounds great, right?

Well, this was passed by the House. It's not law yet, is it? It has to go through the Senate.

When I had cataract surgery last summer, I remember seeing fentanyl listed on the anesthesiologists statement. It didn't say whether it was part of the stuff they put directly in my eyes or in the IV. I was mostly awake during the procedure. I was kind of surprised, but it obviously was needed, or they wouldn't have used it. I hope Democrats in the Senate are smarter. I guess it would need 60 votes to pass. But smart seems to be in short supply these days.

It failed in the Senate the last time. Given the "token" nature and how it's being used to set up for campaign ads against Democrats, it's unclear what will happen.

There's a number of drugs that are used for operative procedures. Each has a set of characteristics that make it appropriate for different situations.

Usually, at the beginning of a surgery, the patient is given a sedative and a pain control agent. At the end of the surgery, they often are given a smaller dose of pain medicine to control pain in the recovery room until the patient can swallow pain meds. The reason fentanyl IV is used in surgeries for pain management is that it is fat soluble which enables it to enter the nerve cells quicker than morphine or meperdine (Demerol). That means that the anesthesiologist can titrate and predict the pain control. You wouldn't want to be in a situation where you were feeling pain during a procedure and have it minutes for the pain medicine to take effect. It is that fat-solubility that also makes it of value in skin patches for pain control.

Well, this goes for Canadians too. We came to loathe him in his first term and now have the sour taste of him in our mouths every day.

Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?

This blog entry is entirely attributed to Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England who apparently wrote the following response (below) to the question in the headline: “Why do …

Nate White's article is the absolute classic character assessment.
"A Shakespeare of shit"
This was written during the first term and every word rings even truer now than then.

Excepting Stormy Daniel's vivid description, my fave was always "short-fingered vulgarian".
 
So. Trump goes to the Stupid Bowl for some reason...even though it is a lose/lose proposition for him.

He is sure to be booed. He will have Taylor Swift stealing the limelight every time that Kansas does something on the field and he hates the Eagles who snubbed him and come for a City that hates Trump even more than New York.

And he will have to sit there through the Black National Anthem.

The inclusion of the Black national anthem at last year's Super Bowl made Donald Trump's supporters and allies furious.

Sorry, not sorry. If they haven't learned by now, they never will. They will continue to be volunteer suckers.
 
Trump and Vance appear to be starting down the path of ignoring federal court orders and thereby signaling the end of the balance of powers.

They are openly asserting that judges do not have the authority to control the actions of the executive branch. So far, Congress has signaled that they will do nothing to check the illegal acts of the White House.

With both judicial and legislative branches neutralized, the executive will attempt to railroad illegal measures through. The only recourse would be for the House to impeach and the Senate to convict the high crimes (refusal to enforce the law as passed by Congress and interpreted by the courts), which we already saw that they refused to do in his first term.

So, the end result is a literal showdown, with blue states refusing to recognize illegal executive actions and the executive branch cutting off funds, etc. This will quickly escalate to the National Guard being ordered to enforce the president's orders, and armed conflict, and civil war. Any commanders refusing to lead troops against states will be arrested and confined.

Once the White House openly affirms they will not obey the courts, no one in disagreement with the Administrattion is bound any longer to obey either. The governed will no longer be governed.

It is coming. Congress is the only leg of government with the power to stop it, and they will not.

We are approaching the brink. Mark it.
