It doesn't seem so unrealistic, does it?

Fom TheHill.com - The Republican takeover of the House shifted congressional oversight of the border, with GOP lawmakers using their new powers in efforts to link the fentanyl crisis to migration. In recent weeks the drug has been a fixture of GOP hearings, with House Homeland Security Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) claiming “backpacks full of fentanyl [are] pouring into our country” while border officers are stretched thin in responding to migrants. 
But statistics around fentanyl paint another picture, one in which American citizens (?) are trafficking the drug to meet U.S. demand, with 90 percent of fentanyl captured as it is driven into the country through border crossing checkpoints. 
 
So here's where the question comes in. If 90% of all of the Fentanyl captured is at the border, how can you make any other argument but that the border IS the problem? The way some media outlets twist shit is the reason why so many people ae fucked up in their heads about almost everything. Juss' sayin...
... 

And sometimes they say shit in such a convoluted way that you honest 
to god don't know who's the killer and who's the stiff. Case in point...

Way back when  Archie and the gang took a stand

And it remains my opinion that Layla is almost unquestionably 
the best forlorned, unrequited love song ever written, possibly 
(a big maybe) only surpassed by this:

Are you a 'climate change denier'? I think I might be the president of that club. If I had a buck for every jerkoff - from Al Gore to that whiny little fuckwad from Sweden or whereverthefuck, I'd have enough dough to buy myself beers that'd last me until the world explodes or everybody dies or whateverthefuck these juggheads think is gonna happen' Juss' sayin'...

It seems most of the really good ideas have storylines 
that begin in the City by the Bay...
 
The rise of drag queen storytime can be traced back to the San Francisco Bay Area — long a haven for queer folk — where a Market Street bookstore hosted what it billed as “America’s first drag queen storytime” a decade ago. It looked a lot like the drag story hours held around the country today, and completely unlike the fantastical, sexualized vision pushed by the political right: just a colorful queen in a sky-high hat reading to a bunch of kids.

Here's what we're capable of if somebody fucks with us. 
Or at least what we usta be capable of...

The ruins of Saint-Lo in August of 1944. The town was almost totally destroyed by 2,000 Allied bombers when they attacked German troops stationed there during Operation Overlord Normandy in June, 1944. 5,000 American lives were lost in this one 12 day seige immediately after D-Day.

And, now That I've mentioned the Blue Eyed Devil, here's him and Ella. So much talent on that stage it's scary.

This was in an ad. That's all.

About 17,000 tons (That's over three million pounds) of parmesan cheese are stacked high in the vaults of Credito Emiliano, an Italian bank that accepts the cheese as warranty for loans. Back in 2016, An Italian dairy cooperative  sold bonds backed by Parmesan cheese. 
Those crazy cheese loving Italians...

    And the bank gets stuck with the maintenance of the cheese while it's being aged for market. Well played, cheesemaker; well played.
