Narcan response
In response to the editor on the Narcan post yesterday: The person posting’s point was that junkie’s have no accountability for their actions, they hold no jobs, sponge off disability, put that junk in their veins and expect the responsible people in society to rescue them again and again and again. There are numerous reports of junkies getting Narcan on Tuesday and OD’ing on Wednesday. My solution is this: You get Narcan on your first overdose, also after your first overdose your disability/benefits are cut off. After that if you want to shoot up, find a job and buy your drugs/Narcan. It’s not a disease, it’s a choice, nobody forced them, and no disease made them put a needle in their vein the first time.
We’re shut down
What a disaster the Republicans have wreaked on our country. We are essentially shut down. And for what? What happens in an emergency? Nothing. Even “Faux” News is criticizing them. Absolutely shameful.
Bipartisan results
What a refreshing sight to see Republicans Mitch McConnell and Gov. Mike Dewine, of Ohio, with President Biden and Sen. Brown, both Democrats, joining together to celebrate a Build Back Better project of replacing a major bridge in Ohio. This is how bipartisanship should work.
You buy it
If you have money to buy heroin, buy your own Narcan.
A special ability
Unbelievable. After so many votes, we still do not have a speaker of the House. I am a Republican, but I have to say, Republicans have the ability to snatch defeat right out of the jaws of victory.
Democracy at work
Chaos. Messy. Disrespect. The media is having a field day with the speaker of the House vote. They are so used to being told what to do and how to vote, they don’t recognize democracy at work. The power block is fighting for the people. They’re looking for term limits, spending control and keeping dollars out of the primaries. Keep up the fight for the people.
It’s not embarassing
To the embarrassed Republican: Don’t feel that way. These people are trying to oppose the same-old, same-old swamp in Washington. They have to stick to their guns. If you search, you will find Kevin McCarthy votes with Democrats more than Republicans. He is like a whisper in the wind — whatever way it’s blowing, that’s where he goes.
