House Democrats blocked a Republican motion Wednesday that would have extended the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) authority to combat the trafficking of fentanyl analogs. Republicans offered a motion to block the previous question on the House floor. If the previous question was blocked, then the House could consider Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers’s (R-WA) legislation that would extend the DEA’s scheduling of fentanyl analogs for one more year. If drug traffickers were to tweak the chemical formula for formula, which creates a fentanyl analog, it could create a drug 100 times more deadly than the dangerous fentanyl. Drug traffickers could easily change the chemical formula of fentanyl because fentanyl analogs were not prohibited. This loophole in DEA drug scheduling led the DEA to schedule fentanyl-related drugs in 2018 for two years. In 2020, 137 House Democrats voted to extend the fentanyl analogs for one more year; 86 Democrats voted against the bill. Today, 217 House … [Read more...] about House Democrats Block GOP Motion to Combat Fentanyl Trafficking

Jill Biden, Joe’s chief protector, stepping up as first lady
WASHINGTON — She’s fended off protesters who made a run at her husband. She’s moved him farther from reporters during the coronavirus pandemic. She’s supported his presidential ambitions again and again — except in 2004, when she deployed a novel messaging technique to keep Joe Biden from running. “No,” Jill Biden, then clad in a bikini, wrote in Sharpie across her stomach and then marched through a strategy session in which advisers were trying to talk her husband into challenging Republican President George W. Bush. Protecting Joe stands out among Jill Biden’s many roles over their 43-year marriage, as her husband’s career moved him from the Senate to the presidential campaign trail and the White House as President Barack Obama’s vice president. She’s a wife, mother, grandmother and educator with a doctoral degree — as well as a noted prankster. Now, with her husband on the brink of becoming the 46th president, Jill Biden is about to become first lady and put her own stamp on a … [Read more...] about Jill Biden, Joe’s chief protector, stepping up as first lady

The United States is a nation built on law and order, and we have immense respect for our law enforcement officers who work to keep our communities safe. Yet the American Dream is under attack because the Biden administration has proven that it has no regard for the rule of law. First, the Biden team was silent when radical Democrats aggressively pushed to defund the police. Now, progressives are advocating for open borders and … [Read more...] about Reps.
