Does the White House Plan to Hand Out Crack Pipes?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

HSE hands out almost 50,000 crack pipes in five years as number of users rises

First they got caught brewing up a scheme to dole out some $450,000 apiece to children allegedly separated by the government from their illegal alien “families.” They had to pull it off the table quickly when the public let out a howl of protest over it.

Now they’re denying they ever had a plan to hand out free crack pipes to drug addicts (https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/politics/2022/02/09/free-crack-pipes-biden-administration-opiod-overdose-harm-reduction/6718519001/) as part of a “Harm Reduction Program”.

No, I won’t say anything about Hunter Biden… except maybe they could’ve put him in charge of it.

Republicans in Congress immediately jumped on the plan: Sen. Marco Rubio called it “insane,” and that was one of the milder epithets applied. Nor did the public enthuse over any move to spend taxpayer dollars to equip crack addicts with free pipes. So now, of course, The Regime is denying they ever meant to hand out free crack pipes in the first place… “the White House said.” Honk if you believe them.

But they are gonna hand out “safe smoking kits” to drug addicts. The contents of the kits have not been made known. Does a snap-together crack pipe count as a crack pipe?

We are told by a White House mouth that the whole business is “inclusion, solidarity, compassion.” I dunno. To me it sounds more like protecting Democrat votes for the next election. Maybe they’re just trying to make us feel bad for being so stingy.

Our First ‘Dr. Kishore’ Article

Dr. Punyamurtala Kishore, persecuted hero

This is the first of Martin Selbrede’s 18 articles on the pioneering addiction treatment work of Dr. Punyamurtala Kishore and his persecution at the hands of Massachusetts medical and law enforcement authorities.

Once they’d successfully “demonized [him] as a monster,” the authorities set about discrediting Dr. Kishore’s character, ruining him financially, and finally packing him off to prison.

His crime: finding a better way to treat opioid addiction instead of just replacing one addictive drug with another.

These are long articles, but they’re important. With opioid addiction claiming thousands of victims all over the country, Dr. Kishore’s sobriety-based approach produced far better results than what the medical establishment had to offer–and for this he was severely punished.

‘Politics and the Madness in Men’s Hearts’

(This essay by Martin Selbrede first appeared in this month’s Chalcedon newsletter, Arise & Build.)

We never seem to get anywhere with our politics, do we? Could it be that that’s because “Our problems aren’t political, they’re moral”?

https://chalcedon.edu/resources/articles/politics-and-the-madness-in-mens-hearts

And trying to apply immoral solutions to moral problems is like trying to treat opioid addiction by giving the patient more opioids. Oops. That’s what we’re doing, isn’t it? How’s that working out for us?

What could be simpler than God’s law? Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. But this is the law we disobey.

As citizens of a constitutional republic, we enjoy great privileges that are not known to people living under, say, a socialist dictatorship. We do have a calling to preserve our heritage. But please note how we’ve let the most important part of that heritage slip away!

John Adams wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” By allowing ourselves to slip into a state of moral imbecility, we render our government inadequate! And we keep on playing whack-a-mole with the ensuing political problems–which are really moral problems, but we don’t want to hear that.
