Fentanyl Is Killing American Kids. Most Don’t Even Know They’re Taking It.

By James Fishback | The Free Press Just over a week ago, Marco Troper, the 19-year-old son of former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, died in his Berkeley dorm room after taking a drug.  “We don’t know what was in it,” his grandmother Esther Wojcicki told local media. “Teenagers and college students need to know that drugs today are not the same as the drugs of yesterday. They’re often laced with fentanyl.” His family are waiting on the results of a toxicology report, which could take up to a month. But if it’s true that Marco lost his life to fentanyl, one thing is clear: he did not die of an overdose.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FREE PRESS

Rep. Buck calls in House resolution for President Biden to be removed through 25th Amendment

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice President Joe Biden’s days in office would be numbered if a measure introduced Monday by U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, is successful.

It would lead to Harris immediately assuming office as the acting President. “The time has come for the Vice President and the Cabinet to put our country first and move forward on invoking the 25th Amendment,” Buck told The Hill. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Silt, has additionally told the Rocky Mountain Voice she will file for articles of impeachment soon if Republicans don’t act as a result of investigations into...

‘Small’ high-altitude balloon of unknown origin flying over Colorado, Western U.S., poses ‘no threat’

By Victor Nava / New York Post The US government is tracking a high-altitude balloon of unknown origin — and officials insist that it is not a security threat. The balloon, flying at an altitude between 43,000 and 45,000 feet, was determined to be “not maneuverable” and poses no threat to national security, the North American Aerospace Defense Command told The Post on Friday.  The nation’s airspace watchdog described it as “small” and said its fighter jets intercepted the balloon over Utah.  “NORAD will continue to track and monitor the balloon,” the military agency said in a statement. “The FAA also determined the balloon posed no hazard to flight safety.”  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

By Timothy H.J.

"That is the goal over the next nine-and-a-half months. If I am elected to this position, I can assure you, there will not be any more $70,000 – or whatever exorbitant amount of money it was – spent on flowers."...
