I can’t wrap my head around the sheer audacity and recklessness displayed by the man who pulled a gun at a Burger King worker after they refused to accept drugs as payment. It’s a scenario straight out of a crime drama, but sadly, this was a real-life incident that unfolded in Aurora, Colorado. The man in question, Eugene Robertson, was found guilty of a staggering 17 crimes, including eight counts of attempted murder. This horrifying incident began as a drive-thru altercation but escalated into a full-fledged crime spree, with Robertson brandishing his weapon at multiple individuals later on that same night.… Continue reading
I am absolutely appalled by the recent news of the baby missing in Kentucky, especially considering the circumstances surrounding the infant’s family. It baffles me how the baby was allowed to go home with parents who had a history of drug issues, and even more so after the umbilical cord tested positive for methamphetamine. The fact that the baby has been missing for almost two months, and only now are police searching for her, is heartbreaking.
It is disheartening to see how children are so unprotected in our country, with stories like these becoming all too common. The system failed this baby by allowing her to go home with parents who were clearly not fit to care for her.… Continue reading
As I read the heartbreaking news about the 8-year-old Kentucky boy who tragically lost his life due to a fentanyl overdose, my heart sank. The initial reports suggested that the child had passed away from an allergic reaction to strawberries, a scenario that seemed utterly perplexing. As someone with a lifelong strawberry allergy, I know firsthand that such allergies are typically mild and rarely ever fatal. The chances of dying from ingesting strawberries are incredibly slim, making the situation even more bewildering.
It is disheartening to think about the circumstances that led to this young boy’s untimely death. The fact that fentanyl, a potent opioid, was the cause of his demise is deeply troubling.… Continue reading
The Trump White House was awash in drugs because no one wanted to be there. It’s not surprising, really. The same people who were avoiding the White House like the plague were the ones who voted him in, chanting ‘lock her up’ and ‘drain the swamp’ while turning a blind eye to the actual swamp that was festering in the Oval Office.
The reports of drug abuse within the White House are disturbing, to say the least. Adderall, fentanyl, morphine, and ketamine were apparently as common as office supplies. Who in their right mind takes fentanyl willingly? And let’s not forget the modafinil, Xanax, and other unlisted drugs that were reportedly easy to come by.… Continue reading
It is both alarming and concerning to learn about the rampant use of stimulants and sedatives within the Trump White House, especially when considering the individuals in key positions who had easy access to these powerful drugs. The revelation that the White House Medical Unit was “awash in speed” and Xanax sheds light on the chaotic and stressful environment that permeated the administration during that time.
The implications of senior and mid-level staff members relying on stimulants and sedatives to cope with the demands of their roles raise questions about the impact of such drug use on decision-making processes and overall governance.… Continue reading
