Because we don’t have secure borders, the biggest cause of death for a large swath of Americans is Fentanyl from China that gets processed in Mexico and comes across to the US.
It’s not so much the people flooding across the southern border affecting Arizonans, as what some of the illegal immigrants carry with them.
Illegal aliens don’t stay in the state, according to Pinal County, Arizona, Sheriff Mark Lamb. Instead, they travel to “California, Massachusetts, New York, Chicago, Iowa, Alabama,” he says, adding, “But what we are feeling is, just like every state and every American family, we’re feeling the effects of fentanyl.”
Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
“I don’t want to take away from 9/11, but I want to put it into perspective,” Lamb says. “On 9/11 we lost, I think, about 3,600 American lives that day … and we went to war for 20 years for that.”
An estimated 74,702 people died from fentanyl poisoning in America in 2023, a slight decline from the 76,226 fentanyl-related deaths in 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Right now, China is putting fentanyl in the hands of the [Mexican drug] cartels,” Lamb explained.
Many of the precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl originate in China. On Oct. 24, the Justice Department announced “charges against eight China-based companies and eight individuals we allege are responsible for trafficking precursor chemicals that cartels use to manufacture lethal fentanyl,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.
The Chinese don’t have to shoot at us. They supply the drugs that are killing Americans from within. Don’t forget when you vote that Democrats are replacing Americans who won’t vote for them with illegals bringing this in.
Delusions of Adequacy 
What can be the alternatives to UNRWA now that Israel has banned this UN terrorist organization?
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) encounters significant failures, it dragged its feet to access Israeli hostages and detainees stolen and held in Gaza. The Red Cross, tasked with visiting prisoners of war and detainees to ensure humane treatment, give the lame excuse that Hamas has blocked access to visit these prisoners of war. Yet the UN ignores this war-crime.
Critics of international organizations like UNICEF, WHO, UNDP, and UNRWA also behave with hostile biases against Israel. Actions, statements, or resolutions perceived as partial or politically motivated fuel these perceptions. Israel and its supporters often point to voting records at the United Nations and related agencies, noting obvious bias distortion of UN condemnations against Israel alone. This consistency reinforces the belief in UN racism against Israel. For example, UNICEF, WHO, and UNDP sometimes face criticism for highlighting Palestinian issues in ways that, some argue, do not sufficiently address Israeli security concerns or broader conflict contexts.
Member states with diverse political interests shape the policies and statements of UN agencies, many of which do not have diplomatic relations with the Jewish State. The influence of the African unaligned nations in the GA leads to distorted UNGA condemnations of Israel. The UN charter which currently permits a plurality of nations in the UNGA to condemn Israel, as if this GA vote accomplishes the rhetoric of democracy; furthermore it gives the impression that the UNGA functions as a world government rather than a neutral entity..
Israel absolutely rejects UNGA Resolutions which pervert political crises into something that more resembles a vote for a beauty contest. Still Israel more prepared to collaborate with NGOs like World Vision, CARE, and Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), which often deliver humanitarian assistance without direct involvement in political dynamics affecting UN bodies. Israel works and trusts these NGOs for medical aid, emergency response, and specific humanitarian projects that sidestep politically charged areas.
European nations commonly support international calls for Israeli withdrawal from territories such as UNSCR 242; the so-called “West Bank” ceased to exist immediately after the Jordan defeat in the June War.
In 1950 the UN condemned Jordan’s annexation of Samaria as illegal. Israel views 242 as both ignoring this prior UN condemnation of Jordan and also disregarding its security needs. European countries frequently support UN General Assembly and other resolutions critical of Israeli “settlement policies and occupation”; Israel does not occupy land within its own borders, and the UN does not determine the international borders of the Jewish state.
Coupled by the blatant fact that the UN ignores the British settlement of Northern Ireland. Such two-tier UN behavior contribute to Israel’s perception of extreme European anti-Semitic bias. Israel maintains selective engagement with European nations, particularly in areas of mutual interest like technology and trade, while it maintains extreme skepticism concerning politically sensitive collaboration with Europe post Blood Libels, 3 century illegal ghettos, unilateral expulsion of Jewish communities, taxation without representation, pogroms and Shoah.
Israel holds diplomatic and economic relationships with European countries, in the shadow of the Shoah, the systematic slaughter of 75% European Jewry in less than 3 years. The impact of UNSCR 242 and related European stances further arouses the suspicions of Israelis who strongly suspect European bias against its security needs.
Historical events such as the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 and the 1956 Suez Crisis affect how Israel perceives European involvement. European powers’ actions in those periods reflect strategies wherein European Capitals prioritized their economic and strategic interests over regional stability. This legacy fosters the belief that Britain and France in particular, that they seek control and in the specific of the 1956 War, used 8 year old Israel as a political pawn. The outcome of the 1967 Six-Day War radically shifted the regional power balance in the region, it challenges European influence. Britain and France immediately responded with UNSCR 242. Prior to the outbreak of that war, Paris betrayed its alliance with Israel.
European policies often align with hostile international anti-Israel alliances. The support and advocate for Israeli withdrawals that echoes historical imperial power dynamics. The events of the Sykes-Picot Agreement and Suez Crisis shape, how Israel and other Middle Eastern nations view European nations as self-interested players ready to manipulate regional dynamics stands on the premise: fool me once shame on you. The 1967 war, where Israel emerged as a dominant military power, reinforces strong Israeli doubts concerning European motives and their reliability as allies. In the ’73 War Europe once again declared itself neutral! These historical legacies continue influencing Israeli-European relations and limit cooperation in politically and security-sensitive areas.
European and British diplomacy often navigates a complex landscape when addressing Israeli suspicions of potential betrayal, particularly in light of historical events such as Charles de Gaulle’s policies leading up to the Six-Day War. However Jerusalem perceives European public affirmations of Israel’s right to security and legitimacy as a state as little more than political rhetoric. No Security Council ruling which recognizes Israel as a State in the Middle East since the founding of the UN.
The two-state solution would treat Israel on par with defeated Nazi Germany post WWII. Israel categorically rejects a forced Jewish population transfer of Israelis in Samaria like as done to Germans living in Poland and the Czech Republic. The transfer of Prussia to Poland/Samaria to Palestine an utter abomination. Strong bilateral relations in areas like technology, defence, and trade Jerusalem perceives as tactical rather than strategic. At a whim European Capitals could negate these bilateral relations.
Affirmations of Israel’s right to defend itself lasts only as long as Arabs stand in the shadow of victory. Europe always strives to prevent Israel forcing an unconditional surrender upon warring Arab states. The strong demands and condemnation of Israel concerning the war in Gaza stand as solid proof. Current European governments always fall within the general rule: The Apple does not fall far from the Tree. Suggesting that underlying biases against Israel continue to influence contemporary diplomatic actions.
European leaders have issued formal apologies for the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, acknowledging the historical injustices faced by Jews in Europe. These statements aim to demonstrate a recognition of the past and a commitment to preventing similar horrors in the future.
Promoting Holocaust education and remembrance initiatives across Europe reflects a commitment to ensuring that society remembers the history of Jewish persecution. Countries hold memorial events, support museums and educational programs, and integrate Holocaust studies into school curricula, signaling a societal shift toward understanding and honoring Jewish history.
Israel responds that the EU and Britain did nothing to prevent the UNRWA Nazi vilification of Jews in UNRWA schools in Gaza and Samaria! The anti-Semitism in France today in many ways resembles the period of the Dreyfus Affair! Belgium holds public anti-Semitic national parades! These developments raise questions about the effectiveness of European initiatives aimed at fostering understanding and support for Jewish communities, leading to skepticism about the true depth of commitment to combating anti-Semitism in the present day.
