You'll be pleased to know that they didn't accept the offer. Phil prognosticated in person. I froze my @$$ off at Gobbler's Knob this morning to make sure.

Same old left. Excellent. Election Day showed they are going to continue their losing ways.

[HEADING=2]Trump used fentanyl to justify tariffs, but the crisis was already easing[/HEADING]
February 2, 20255:19 PM ET

President Trump says illegal street fentanyl is one of the main justifications for [sweeping trade tariffs]('https://www.npr.org/2025/02/01/g-s1-46010/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-and-china-imports') he plans to impose against Canada, China and Mexico on Tuesday. A [statement]('https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/02/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-imports-from-canada-mexico-and-china/') issued by the White House describes the synthetic opioid as fueling a "national emergency" that warranted tough action.

Experts say the reality is far more complex.

[HEADING=2]President Trump and his team misstate key facts about the fentanyl crisis[/HEADING]
On Inauguration Day, [Trump said]('

These claims are false.

While the overdose epidemic is a serious crisis, experts in law enforcement, drug policy research and public health agree street drugs have killed vastly fewer people.
During the most severe period of the opioid crisis, in 2022 and 2023, total overdose deaths — including fentanyl, methamphetamines, heroin, cocaine and all other drugs — [peaked at around 114,000 fatalities per year]('https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/drug-overdose-data.htm'). And while drug overdose deaths have been wrenching for many families, fentanyl deaths haven't come close to killing tens of millions of people.

State and federal data also shows the crisis was improving at an unprecedented pace before these tariffs were announced. Fatal overdoses from fentanyl and all other street drugs [have plummeted nationally by more than 21%]('https://www.npr.org/2024/09/18/nx-s1-5107417/overdose-fatal-fentanyl-death-opioid') since June 2023, according to the [latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]('https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/drug-overdose-data.htm'), falling below 90,000 deaths in a 12-month period for the first time in roughly half a decade.

[HEADING=2]What role does Canada play in the U.S. fentanyl supply?[/HEADING]
Almost none. In its fact sheet, the Trump administration says Canada has a "growing footprint" in narcotics distribution with Mexican cartels active in the country. But law enforcement and drug policy experts agree that Canada plays a minimal role in fentanyl smuggling into the U.S.

Rut-roh, ROTFLMAO...

You know what one of the biggest cultural shift I had to make moving from from IL was??? Hearing "What would you like?" instead of "Qué?" at the Micky D's Drivethru...

Well, how about that?

[HEADING=2]Raptors fans boo 'Star-Spangled Banner' in latest anti-American display in Canada after Trump's tariffs[/HEADING]

"The Star-Spangled Banner" was once again booed in Canada ahead of a sporting event.

The latest anti-American display took place at the Scotiabank Arena before the [Toronto Raptors]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/nba/toronto-raptors') took on the Los Angeles Clippers. Fans booed the American national anthem as a 15-year-old female sang it. A mix of boos and cheers were heard before she received a resounding applause for the Canadian national anthem, "O, Canada."
The theme of Canadians booing the American anthem began Saturday night as the Ottawa Senators and the Calgary Flames hosted NHL games.

The boos seemingly occurred as President [Donald Trump]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump') followed through on his promise to place tariffs of 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% on imports from China. Any energy resources from Canada would be hit at a 10% rate.
In a statement obtained by Fox News Saturday, the Trump administration said the order is in response to an "extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, (that) constitutes a national emergency."

[HEADING=2]Some migrants arrested in Trump's immigration crackdown have been released back into the U.S.[/HEADING]
Space constraints and court orders have led ICE to release migrants on monitoring programs after they’re arrested.

The Trump administration aggressively publicized the arrests of more than 8,000 immigrants by federal agents since Inauguration Day, with the promise that those detained would be part of a historic mass deportation. But NBC News has learned that[SIZE=7] some have already been released back into the United States [/SIZE]on a monitoring program, according to five sources familiar with the operations.

Since he took office, President Donald Trump and his allies have promoted immigration operations in cities like Chicago and New York, where agents across federal agencies were called in to increase the number of arrests.

But arresting more people inside the United States on allegations of immigration violations means they need to be held somewhere. And significant space constraints in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities — and federal court orders forbidding indefinite detention — have forced the agency to release some of those arrested in the roundups rather than hold them until deportation.

ICE posts arrest figures daily on X, but it does not disclose how many of those arrested are released, remain in detention or have been deported.

[SIZE=6]In a statement to NBC News, an ICE spokesperson acknowledged federal court cases limit ICE from detaining people indefinitely if their countries refuse to take them back, which can lead ICE to release them. [/SIZE]
