Bill signing ceremony at the White House

Posted on July 18, 2025 by Stella

The Fentanyl Bill, specifically the HALT Fentanyl Act, is a piece of legislation aimed at combating the fentanyl crisis in the United States. The act permanently classifies fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, which means they are considered to have a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical value, and are subject to strict regulatory controls. This classification allows law enforcement to more effectively target and prosecute individuals involved in the trafficking and distribution of fentanyl.

The HALT Fentanyl Act also includes provisions that increase criminal penalties for offenses involving fentanyl-related substances, with offenses involving 100 grams or more triggering a 10-year mandatory minimum prison term. Additionally, the bill establishes a new, alternative registration process for certain Schedule I research, making it easier for researchers to conduct studies on fentanyl-related substances.

Stephen Colbert Announces The Cancellation Of “The Late Show”

Posted on July 18, 2025 by Stella

Having guests like Adam Schiff as his primary could be the reason why CBS has cancelled Stephen Colbert’s show.

I think back to 1969, and how I watched Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show every night before bed. It was entertaining. The comedy was funny. There was no politics. He had guests like Frank Sinatra.

From what I have gathered (I don’t watch any of these late-night leftist political disasters), they aren’t funny and primarily spend time piling insults on “orange man bad”.

According to TV Insider:

The Moving Autopen Writes, and Having Writ, Moves On

Posted on July 17, 2025 by Stella

The only question remaining is, has the moving finger irrevocably moved on?

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

 – The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Stanza 71

American Thinker

Numerous authors are opining on the validity or invalidity of the pardons issued under the autopen signature of the invalid who was housed in the White House for the better part of four years (when he wasn’t on the beach with his ice cream cone). Andrea Widburg has ably discussed this issue as illuminated by Biden’s interview with the New York Times. The problem now is, “What can we do about it?” Or, in other words, “What difference does it make?”

Acts that use a Presidential signature include letters and proclamations. No one is seriously suggesting that we go through that stack of stuff to somehow invalidate them. Proclamations are ceremonial, and letters are – well – letters. They fall into the legal “Who cares?” category.

The next group are executive orders. These are orders to the executive branch of the government to do one thing or another, and can readily be rescinded by the next President with the stroke of a pen.

Communism in government

Posted on July 17, 2025 by Stella

Although his efforts are often confused with the House investigation, Joe McCarthy was a Senator investigating Communists who infiltrated our government during the FDR years. And he found some, including Harry Hopkins, Roosevelt’s aide. Evidence—in the form of Venona-decrypted Soviet messages, Soviet espionage data now opened to the West, and newly released transcripts of closed hearings before McCarthy’s subcommittee—has partially vindicated McCarthy by showing that some of his identifications of Communists were correct and the scale of Soviet espionage activities in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s was larger than many scholars had suspected.

Lately the communists in government don’t even bother to hide it. This isn’t progress.
