Jean-Pierre responded by claiming that fentanyl is currently at "historic lows-historic levels" under Biden’s presidency.

Quote
"Because of the work that this president has done, because of what we’ve done specifically on fentanyl at the border, it’s at historic lows — historic levels that we have been able to record a number of personnel working to secure the border because of what we’ve been able to do, seizing that fentanyl," Jean-Pierre said. "We’ve done it in a historic way. That’s because of what this President has done."

Meanwhile on our world seizures and overdoses are at record highs

Not sure if this fits the thread title, but I don't know where else it should land.  It is more of a shocking story than a head slapping story.


Human penis found at Alabama gas station
https://www.fox5ny.com/news/human-penis-found-at-ala-gas-station
It is actually a bit tragic as a motor cyclist got in a accident on a nearby highway and was hit by multiple vehicles. 

Quote
While police did not explain how the appendage arrived at the gas station, local reports say that surveillance video appeared to show it fall from a truck that had stopped to get fuel.

Quote
Means lost control of his bike moments before the fatal accident, police say. Following Means's death, "multiple sources" confirmed to the local newspaper Lagniappe that a "human penis" was found at the gas station on Monday. The gas station was located on a road near a highway.

Police say they believe multiple people unknowingly struck Means's body following the fatal crash.
-------------------
Of all the vehicles that allegedly struck him, only one stayed at the scene, according to Fox News. Police are reportedly still looking for the other drivers involved.

That last is pretty sad.  If his bike was not nearby I can see some drivers not knowing what they drove by, but more than a few would have known.

Mauree Turner is thus living a lie in all kinds of ways. She is pretending to be “non-binary,” instead of acknowledging that she is a woman. She is pretending to be Sharia-observant, despite flouting the severe penalties it prescribes for the behaviors she proudly flaunts as her “queer” identity. She pretends to be a governing official, sworn to uphold the laws of the state, while helping a lawbreaker evade punishment for breaking the laws of the state. Mauree Turner is, in sum, the contemporary Left personified, the veritable poster child for all its hypocrisy and fantasies.

As Solzhenitsyn said, live not by lies.

And now for a little madness from the right:

Has anyone else come across this burning question all over the internets of “Y NO PIX OF MICHELLE OBAMA WHEN SHE PREGNERNT?!!”  (translation: why can't I find photos of Michelle Obama when she was pregnant?)

Can anyone else figure out the really obvious answer to this question?

Could be more to this don't know but here it is.

Note this occurred at a Catholic high school

Quote
Alexander was a student at a Canadian Catholic high school in Ontario until he spoke his mind over concerns of men in women's restrooms at the institution.

Distinguishing men from women and believing God created only two genders, he suggested, eventually led authorities to arrest and charge him for the "offense."

Quote
"Female students complained to me that they were concerned because males were using their washrooms. This turned into a debate at the school. I stated my opinion on it, and I used Scripture to back it up.

"They removed me from the building for the remainder of the year and, when I attempted to attend class, I was arrested and charged," he continued.

"Identifies"

Sick of that word. It's use may actually be accurate in this case but still sick of it.

I'd say "She looks Asian" but then I'd probably be accused of racist stereotyping.

She's a Malaysian citizen, born there, so she IS Asian.  Depending on how long she's been in LA, I'll bet she didn't use the term "Identifies as".
