First, let me say I do not do any kind of drugs, don't drink and don't smoke. I am a recovering alcoholic with 28 yrs sobriety and for many years I worked as a therapist at a county facility which was a program to help alcoholics/drug addicts recover. I'd like to point out a few things that some folks may not know.
1) Our founding fathers used marijuana. Many yrs ago a British professor did lots of research on this and uncovered this fact via letters, etc. George Washington was known to smoke MJ with his troops. He and Thomas Jefferson grew it. Jefferson had a patch of poppies at his home, Monticello, until a few years ago when they were removed. It was common for people to grow poppies for opium because it was a great painkiller, unlike the ones these days which are prescription by Big Pharma and far more addictive and dangerous.
2) Marijuana is NOT addictive, this has been demonstrated over and over. Do your research on this.
3) I'm not crazy about the idea of dispensaries because they deliver door to door and make it way too easy for anyone to use this stuff. I'm more in favor of growing one's own because you don't have to use pesticides, for one thing, unlike what is sold at dispensaries, which is absolutely laden with pesticides which are dangerous and highly toxic.
4) This is America, where We the People get to choose what we think is a good or right thing to do. Marijuana has been shown to help ease pain, help relax those with PTSD and it is now thought to help prevent cancer. It's not as toxic as alcohol is, which IS addictive, and when people drive drunk they can kill people. When we outlawed alcohol 100 yrs ago, it did NOT go well, people made their own without knowing how to do it safely and many died from alcohol poisoning. None of this happens with marijuana so why would we make a much less toxic drug outlawed and keep legal the one that is not healthy and can cause deaths?
5) Nancy Reagan's "Just say no" campaign was ridiculous. An addict doesn't know how to Just Say No, not EVER. It isn't that simple. Also, in Nancy's daughter Patti's book that I read years ago she states Nancy was a prescription pill addict (things like valium) - which explains why her eyes always looked blank with dilated pupils. Nancy is hardly the pillar of wisdom we should refer to on topics regarding drugs/alcohol.
6) After reading this piece by Mr. Kincaid, it appears to me he is trying to do a hatchet job on Trump and that he's probably part of deep state. Just because he's a conservative doesn't mean he's a good guy; we are seeing that almost every single one of our politicians is deep state, at last count 93% of Congress are dual citizens of Israel - which calls into question who are they serving, Israel or the U.S.?
7) I would also point out that anyone who has paid attention and researched the topic knows that Ukraine is the seat of the deep state, has approximately 40 labs which produce unethical/illegal drugs including adrenachrome (obtained by draining blood out of small children after torturing them to induce the high that adrenachrome gives), but also other dangerous drugs as well. There are numerous Russians living in Ukraine, I've known some, and they aren't very unhappy with what has been happening in Ukraine since 2014 - when present day Nazis took over govt, including Zelensky who is himself a Nazi. They have been doing what Nazis do best - torture, maim, murder, traffic women and children for rape and sex and many other things most folks would not want to know about.
Exactly how is Trump destroying Reagan's legacy? Trump simply said abortion should be left up to the states, which is what constitution states when it enumerated laws and said that all else should be left up to individual states. Trump's position is in accordance with our constitution - which Mr. Kincaid doesn't seem to know about. When it comes to rape, Trump has said the woman should probably have a choice about abortion up to 16 weeks. A baby's heartbeat, which is a significant indicator that the baby can live on its own, doesn't start until AFTER 16 weeks of mom being pregnant. Not everyone will like this idea, but again, this is America we are supposed to be free to make our own choices and not evereyone believes abortion before 16 weeks is a crime or a sin or is murder.
I've watched Trump for 45 yrs - he has never been a fanatic, or a hardliner, he IS a huge proponent of our Constitution and he believes every America should have the right to live according to what their own personal beliefs are. One size does not fit all and that's how America was designed. You will not like every single law that is passed and that applies to every single American. I would also add that if you don't like gays/lesbians, well you can't be one then. But they ARE Americans, too, and in my 69 years of living I"ve known some very fine folks who are in that category - and btw, I am Christian. THey are our fellow humans, we won't like a lot of things our fellow humans do, but they do deserve to not be castigated, outlawed or marginalized.
It seems to me Trump is merely wanting all Americans to be included, to have choices and to live their lives as they see fit - which was the original idea of America. IMHO, Mr. Kincaid is trying to win points from hardliners and is barking up the tree. I also think he's an idiot who doesn't understand how America is supposed to work nor does he understand what Trump is trying to do. Just my 2 cents. Some of you won't agree with what I wrote and that's fine because - this is AMERICA and we all have a voice and a choice!!!
Just for your own personal information, I rarely agree with what I publish, or even the positions I take when discussing things, foreign or domestic, except when dealing with Communists, no quarter given, period.
Yes, I kind of figured that was the case. It's good you're posting different points of view, though, so folks can think about it, do some research and look at things from different angles. You're getting people to think and that's always a good thing!
E. Gordon, you are 100% correct; the only reason why Cannabis is a Schedule I Narcotic is that before the 1930s, Cannabis and Cannabis Oil had many medicinal properties and industrial hemp uses. Then when, the Rockefellers could not patent hemp and Cannabis products because it is a plant. They could not brand it as a pharmaceutical remedy (as they were taking over the pharmaceutical industry). They were instrumental in making it illegal and spent millions of dollars by villainizing hemp/Cannabis. If people would educate themselves on the God-given Endocannabinoid system as well as the plant itself with the medicinal properties of the terpenes and THC profile to see what the actual benefits of Cannabis are, then they would get off of the Big Pharma poison that they are on and come to their senses! Two good reads on Cannabis are Nature's Answer to Cancer by Rick Simpson and Cannabis is Medicine by Boni Goldstein, M.D.. I guess it is OK for people to get multiple boosters of a Bio-Weapon because the feckless government and their corrupt agencies say so-NOT!
I've done lots of research on this and I cannot find a definitive answer because I"ve seen estimates that are all over the map. When I first started researching this about a year or 2 ago, it was commonly stated the heartbeat starts at 16 week or even 20 to 25 weeks. When I just looked now, I found anywhere from 22 days to 6 weeks or even later. This makes it very confusing. I'm guessing it depends on what instrument is used to measure it. I've never had children so I don't know but it's very confusing when you try to find out when it starts, as different sources give different timelines.
btw, I never said it starts at 12 weeks, I said 16, which is what I found about a year ago when I did a search online.
Im not even close to perfect i treat people like i want to be treated worship the constitution. Never taken a drug legal or illegal no allopathic medisin. Been with same gal my entire life. I feel legalize everything fentanyl the works if your that dumb to put that shit in your body amen no rehab no narcan nada im not paying for your stupid mistakes no one paid for mine nor did i want them to. Abortion murder psychological abuse thats between you and your maker or god forbid you try anything on my family youll meet your maker. Hit your buddy in the shorts, i dont want to here about it or pay for any of this bullshit. Stop the parades stop the pedophilia close the borders. In a year we wont have a country this time next year look at stoney Colorado its in every state weak men
Abortion laws are the Province of the States. Many Conservatives are similar to ProgreSSives in that they want Everything Decided at the DC Centralized Grub&Mint level. One Law Mandated to Everyone from DC.
Why even have States??? A "Republic" is made up of Semi-Independent States, allowing for Differences to be accomodated. Plenty of Citizens are Voting with their Feet, As It Should Be.
"Pro Life" is fine, have the lawscontrolling it at the State level. Murder laws are State Laws. Gun laws are primarily State Laws, as long as the 2nd Amendment is at least acknowledged. There is No Amendment on Abortion. I find the practice immoral personally, and it is my responsibilty to have my State laws reflect the majority of my state.
Why is this so complicated??? unless Total DCGov Contro lis the Goal of "Conservatives" and ProgreSSives alike. Sheesh.
Ruining someone's life over smoking pot is stupid, most kids quit it as they get older, I did. Smoking pot, drinking alcohol excessively, smoking tobacco are All harmful So Let's BAN them All!!!
Bring Back Prohibition!!! That sure "worked" Well, Sarc in case you missed it.
Nanny State USSA, womb to tomb, and reauthorize & Fund Obamycare too!!!
Homosexuals have been around since the beginning of time, it seems more prevalent in decaying societies like the Weimar Republic era of Germany, and the USSA. It's not too big in Russia or China, btw.
Erick Erickson, an Atlanta-based radio talk show host and a blogger, has been making this same point about Trump's leftward tilt on social issues, for a couple of weeks now.
This election is Trump's to lose and, along with letting Harris waltz into the Oval Office, will likely throw both houses of Congress to the Dems.
Trump already bears responsibility for losing the Senate in 2020, when he advised Georgia GOP voters to stay home because Trump held a grudge against Kelly Loeffler. The result? Georgia Dems turned out en masse, and elected Raphael Warlock and Jon Assoff, and the Senate went to 51 Dem seats.
What, I write on substance constantly, sometimes they are my own articles, rarely do they appear on Newsletter #1, but it does happen, usually the unknown Newsletter #2, but not always.
Running drugs through Mena, Arkansas with Bill Clinton’s cooperation. This helped set up Clinton for the presidency (along with a few dozen Arkancides).
just as in trump’s term, the buck stops with the boss. he hires. he can fire. that’d be like excusing joe or lbj. there is one executive. responsible for everything his admin does or fails to do.
RR still accomplished a lot of good, as did Trump. GHWB ran that administration. Nothing got past him and a few others.
Trump knows how to talk to people, but he obviously isn’t very good at detecting liars (some of us, some people are not). His biggest problem is he’s too trusting. People can take advantage of him if they are methodical and slick. And yet, he will still accomplish way more than Jeb Bush, Mittens, McCain, Pence, et al could or would have.
This is what bothers me about Trump. He keeps flip flopping on several issues. Just like he was against vaccines until he took the money from big pharma to started warp speed. He still doesn't admit he made a mistake.
Maybe he didn’t, ever think bout that, however the Democrats fucked up big-time. Mandates and all, maybe Trump set them up, to fail like none have failed before. That’s what bothers me, but only a little, we are dealing with the Communist Conspiracy for World Revolution, and it’s center is in Washington DC.
Are you sure that the President is not leaving the decisions to the state. Personally I believe the prime duty, if not the only duty of a President is on the foreign affairs and Homeland Security.
The reason the country has fallen apart is because the states depend on Washington. Obama is pulling the strings,biden is on the beach and harris is already prepping for the debate with the President that she will probably find a way to dodge. Did you hear about the clinton woman?
The clinton woman was expected to be at a huge money raising jamboree at the Hamptons...but she's pulled out *with COVID*...but Slick Willy Bill might be standing in??????
This isn’t about me, what I may think is irrelevant as it is also unimportant. But for what it is worth, I am anti-abortion, unless it is the standard reasons, convenience not being one of them.
Is there anything the right will not do to win the election, or I ask, what are conservatives conserving?
First, let me say I do not do any kind of drugs, don't drink and don't smoke.

Well, 22 days is 3 weeks.
The 6 weeks the heart starts with a flutter.
But it's still a heartbeat.
Thank you, I very much appreciate your comment. ❤️❤️

I despise it all Edwin. God is in control .
Perhaps he’s lying. About these issues. Just doing what democrats and most republicans have been doing. Or maybe he still trusts the wrong advisors.
Or maybe, he’s keeping it all close to the vest.

Eric Erickson, roflmao, What a rinoRat!!! Has been for years! Loves the Romney/Ryans and Bushies. I spit.
Or was this a “tactical” victory by Trump?
Elections make strange bedmates, did Trump foresee this or not!
I don't understand how four years of a Dem controlled Senate was a tactical victory for the GOP.
Not the GOP, Trump, he foresaw the election mess just like he told us it was going to happen before it did (remember the late nite press conference).
Huh? So why waste one's time? Not me, I have weeds in my yard.
Teddy R. turned full left.
Who is Mr Kincaid? I've never heard of him
The guy that wrote the article, and many others, on my sub stack.
So you don't write on Substack personally?
What, I write on substance constantly, sometimes they are my own articles, rarely do they appear on Newsletter #1, but it does happen, usually the unknown Newsletter #2, but not always.
“…his wife Nancy was a great proponent of the “Just Say No” campaign against marijuana and other dangerous drugs.”
Dark Alliance by Gary Webb. Drugs. Contras. Communists. Iranians. CIA. Irony.
Running drugs through Mena, Arkansas with Bill Clinton’s cooperation. This helped set up Clinton for the presidency (along with a few dozen Arkancides).
and here we are. opiods. fentanyl. chinese. mexican cartels. porous borders.
Blame the CIA, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton. But not Ronald Reagan. They warned him by shooting him.

He'll certainly welcome the time he spends in the Oval Office with the Kamal and a cigar
Thanks Amy, for the restack, I appreciate it.
Abigail Reports, thanks for the restack, it is much appreciated.
You've confused me
Either you're prolife or you support abortion.
You can't say you're pro-life but support killing before a certain time scale.
It's like saying you support slavery but only certain ages.
This isn’t about me, what I may think is irrelevant as it is also unimportant. But for what it is worth, I am anti-abortion, unless it is the standard reasons, convenience not being one of them.
