Protests and disruptions from pro-Palestinian demonstrators at President Joe Biden’s glitzy‚ elitist fundraiser on Thursday are the latest examples of extreme division on the left regarding his handling of the Israel-Hamas war‚ which is jeopardizing his reelection prospects. Outside of Radio City Music Hall on Thursday‚ a large crowd of pro-Palestinian demonstrators screamed phrases like‚ “Fuck Joe Biden!” “Genocide Joe Has got to go!” and “Democrats‚ you can’t hide. We charge you with...

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) put a diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion (DEI) consultant on the Maryland Port Commission just months before a container ship crashed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. The supply chain on the East Coast and beyond now hangs in the balance as authorities will have to swiftly undertake complex feats of engineering to reopen the port and‚ eventually‚ the bridge. Moore named Karenthia Barber to the Commission last August. The headline of the press release...

Those who get rich off of turning young Americans into addicted losers who contribute nothing to society have met a roadblock: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. On Thursday‚ Youngkin vetoed a bill that would have legalized the sale of marijuana in the state of Virginia. His explanation for the veto summarizes well the negative consequences faced by other states that have legalized marijuana: “States following this path‚” he said‚ “have seen adverse effects on children’s and adolescents’ health and safety‚ increased gang activity and violent crime‚ significant deterioration in mental health‚ decreased road safety‚ and significant costs associated with retail marijuana that far exceed tax revenue.” Youngkin’s recognition of the obvious — that marijuana legalization is demonstrably bad for society — is sorely needed at this time when the marijuana industry deploys endless lobbyists and PR campaigns to claim that legalization has a net benefit. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. Marijuana’s harmfulness starts with just that: it is inherently harmful. According to the Yale School of Medicine‚ 30 percent of marijuana users have cannabis use disorder‚ i.e.‚ they are addicted to the drug. Another study published in the International Journal of Drug Policy has found that 44.7 percent of people who have smoked marijuana have gone on to use other illegal drugs. (And yes‚ marijuana is still illegal under federal law‚ as it is classified as a Schedule I drug.) According to the Department of Health and Human Service’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration‚ marijuana use is linked to “depression‚ anxiety‚ suicide planning‚ and psychotic episodes‚” and people who use marijuana are more likely to have “relationship problems‚ worse educational outcomes‚ lower career achievement‚ and reduced life satisfaction.” Marijuana is also not helpful as a medical treatment. Cannabis has never been shown to be beneficial for the ailments it is often used to treat: pain‚ depression‚ and anxiety. Glenn Youngkin rightly drew attention to the negative consequences states that have legalized marijuana have experienced. These consequences are well-documented. According to the Journal of Criminal Justice‚ recreational marijuana legalization has increased property and violent crime in Oregon. In addition‚ Colorado’s Department of Public Safety noted in 2021 that‚ since legalization‚ the state had seen an increase in “marijuana-related hospitalizations‚ Emergency Room visits‚ poison control calls‚ DUIs‚ and fatal crashes where drivers tested positive for cannabinoids.” There is also the fact that legalization of marijuana increases usage of the drug among minors‚ who are particularly negatively affected by the drug. In fact‚ people who use marijuana as adolescents can experience a permanent loss of up to eight IQ points. They are also at risk for developing psychosis and schizophrenia. Marijuana lobbyists have long claimed that legalization will create a cash cow of revenue for states. There has been doubt cast on this claim‚ however. A study published in the National Tax Journal concluded that cannabis revenues “cannibalize” other tax revenues since legalizing cannabis results in a 15 percent decrease in sales of alcohol and a 5 percent decrease in the sale of cigarettes. In addition‚ there are the numerous other costs states must take on when they let people run wild with a dangerous and extremely addictive drug‚ including increased policing costs. States have also been surprised by the low amount of revenue generated by cannabis sales. For example‚ California has had to make changes to its budgets after expected tax revenues from cannabis have been well below expectations. Glenn Youngkin is one of the few governors to see the light in a country full of state politicians working to legalize marijuana or who have already done so. Much of the responsibility for this movement lies with another governor‚ California Gov. Gavin Newsom. When Newsom was lieutenant governor of California‚ he was one of the first politicians to come out in favor of marijuana legalization. From there‚ he spearheaded a committee whose purpose was to demonstrate that marijuana legalization could be implemented in a way that minimizes any potential harms for society. That committee was influential in convincing other states that marijuana legalization could be safely adopted at a time when it was becoming clear that many harmful consequences were resulting from legalization. Youngkin says he never even considered signing the bill to legalize pot. When he was asked last week whether he would do so‚ he responded: “Anybody who thinks I’m going to sign that legislation must’ve been smoking something.” Bravo‚ Glenn Youngkin.

'Putting food on the table has become harder than ever thanks to 'Bidenomics‚'' declares the Biden-Mart.com website. As Americans prepare for the Easter holiday‚ many are concerned about rising inflation under the Biden administration as they shop for groceries for the festivities. A Trump SuperPAC’s new website lets shoppers compare grocery costs from Donald Trump’s term to the current prices‚ highlighting the surge attributed to “Bidenflation.” “Putting food on the table has become harder than ever thanks to ‘Bidenomics‚'” states the Biden-Mart.com website. “As costs for everyday items continue to rise‚ American families are struggling more and more to foot the bill.” The site allows users to check off boxes that pertain to items on their grocery lists. The costs are calculated and can then be compared to totals under Bidenflation–corrected pricing. Some items‚ such as coffee‚ butter and eggs‚ have underwent modest price increases from 33% to 39%‚ while vegetables such as eggplants‚ zucchini and carrots have seen prices soar as much as 48%.Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store!

PAC comms director Alex Pfeiffer told the Daily Mail. “Joe Biden’s inflation is robbing hard-working Americans of their money‚” he added. Americans being unable to put food on the table has prompted the likes of Kellogg’s CEO Gary Pilnick to remark on the affordability of his company’s breakfast staple‚ celebrating the notion families are now turning to cereal at dinner time to cope with rising inflation. The tremendous and increasingly burdensome costs of virtually everything from groceries to utilities are shaping up to be a pivotal voting issue heading into the 2024 election.

'If you voted for Nikki Haley... Donald Trump doesn't want your vote‚' pitiful Biden-Harris ad claims. A new Biden-Harris 2024 ad targets supporters of failed Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley‚ illustrating the increasing desperateness of the Biden campaign. The 30-second ad‚ which absurdly never features Haley‚ calls on scorned followers of the former South Carolina governor who feel dejected after her defeat to come over to the Biden camp to “Save America” from Trump. The ad shows clips of Trump bashing Haley on the campaign trail as a “birdbrain‚” as well as a video of Trump telling the press he doesn’t need Haley’s supporters to win the election. “If you voted for Nikki Haley… Donald Trump doesn’t want your vote‚” the pitiful ad states. In another clip‚ Trump slams Haley‚ who previously served as UN ambassador in his administration‚ for partnering with RINO Never Trumpers to try to defeat him.URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray &; contribute at DefendJones.com today! “Nikki Haley has made an unholy alliance with RINOS‚ Never Trumpers‚ Americans for (No) Prosperity‚” Trump says in a clip‚ going on to say she’s “not presidential timbre.” The ad also highlights a Trump Truth Social post from January where the 45th president called on Haley supporters to “be permanently banned from the MAGA camp.” The ad comes as Haley‚ who dropped out of the presidential race following a string of humiliating defeats on Super Tuesday earlier this month‚ refused to endorse Trump‚ saying he’d have to earn her supporters votes. Biden’s latest ploy begging for Republicans to switch parties shows his campaign is aware they are hemorrhaging voters over Democrats’ support for Israel‚ inflation‚ the immigration crisis unfolding at the open southern border‚ increased crime‚ his age and more.
