Tony:  "We need to stop the flow of illegal drugs into our nation"



HOW?

Lock up the users!   in non-criminal-record rehab camps.
Lock up the dealers!  in prisons.

Street hookering was a problem in bambuland.
Problem was soon solved by arresting the customers, and some of the female and male hookers.

One way to stop the drug trade in America and the rest of the 'Christian' west is to lock up in re-education camps in the mountains [as an alternative to prison and a criminal record]....all the people buying and using illegal drugs.

Lock up the dealers in prison.
Lock up the users in camps.

Wouldn't take long for the drug trade to stop, IMO.

Seattle is Dying

Absolutely terrible.
Not all of it looks like a rubbish dump, but much of it does.
People are too embarrassed to invite their families and friends to come see them.

The solutions are simple...but those running the city cannot or will not see.

The President should step in.

As the jobs have all left to communist slavery in China, some people have sunk to the level of dealing drugs to survive, and they flood our cities with drugs. And there is a whole thug culture of drug dealers and drug users, and the rappers sing songs about flooding the streets with drugs, and about using drugs, and about pimping out our women to pay for drugs, etc.

And our enemies are selling drugs to our people to buy weapons to use against us. The Muslims are selling heroin to our people, and Afghanistan is the world's largest supplier of heroin. And the terrorists in Colombia, the FARC and the ELN sold cocaine in the USA with the help of the Bloods and the Crips, etc. The people flooding our streets with meth are not good people. And I view drugs as being  a tool of satan, I have seen some horrible things.

So we have two things, we have unemployed desperate people, and we have our enemies who are flooding our streets with drugs.

Of note too, is that we have people who are good honest people whom have become unemployed and homeless, and many people develop mental illness, so you have good people who are out on the streets homeless and mentally ill.

I can tell you what Anaheim is doing to help people, right now, today.

Anaheim is opening shelters to get the homeless people off of the streets to help them, and then Anaheim is enforcing rules to keep the homeless people from setting up tents in public places, etc. In the homeless shelters there are people to help the homeless people. If they are addicted to drugs then there are people from N/A and A/A and from other groups to help them. If you simply need a job, there are people who help you to get a job. People help you transfer from the homeless shelters into housing. If you are disabled, then people help you to get disability checks and housing assistance. If you are a homeless Veteran, you are helped. And mental health wellness centers are being opened, where housing and drug use and other issues are being addressed. So, you have places to help the people, and the people are being helped.

Meanwhile we need to bring the jobs back to the USA, we need new trade deals with China, and with others, and we need fair trade, if you want us to buy your stuff, then you need to buy our stuff. Our people need jobs too, just like your people.

And we need to stop the flow of illegal drugs into our nation. We need to get the people of Afghanistan to grow cotton instead of heroin, and we need to stop the heroin from Afghanistan from entering our nation. And we have made a lot of progress on the issue of cocaine, we work together with Colombia and others to stop the flow of cocaine into our country. And we need to address the opioid epidemic and the spread of meth.

As we deal with the current generation of adults, we must also deal with the children who are the future, we need to teach the children to say "NO!" to drugs, and we need to attach all negative connotations to illegal drugs, we need to get the children to think of drugs as being bad, and dirty, be strong and say no. We also need to have early childhood development programs, and after school programs, and we need to teach the children music and theatre and the arts, and sports, etc. We must save the children, before they have problems.

For the people who end up in prison, we need programs to rehabilitate people, we cannot release people without having tried to help them. We need education and job training in the prisons. Women in prison can learn to groom dogs, and they can practice by grooming the dogs in the animal shelters for free, a good dog groomer can earn $50,000.00 per year. We need to do as much as we can to save the people who end up in prison so that we do not release them with the same problems that they went in with. If you can give someone a way to make an honest living, then you can turn their life around.

There is a lot of hard work to do.

Salute,

Tony V.

According to the video, not much is being enforced in Seattle at all.
...and there are about 100 homeless people addicted to substances who are committing most of the crime...some 34, 64 crimes in recent years.
It's like a revolving door in the justice system there, allegedly.
The city should clean up the mess...it's a total outrage for a nice city like that to be a "garbage dump".
The 100 people should be relocated to re-education/rehabilitation camps in the 'mountains'.
Purpose built...medical professionals, no drugs, no alcohol, good food, warm beds, security...not a prison, but able to keep the mentally ill, angry, troubled folk off the streets and out of society [until they are 'cured'].

Americans forced to eat out of garbage bins...very bad...the President must act.

G’day Abbott! G’day Anning! Two feckless bums dumped in the dust. Two sad sacks who won’t be missed.

The young, and climate change brigade voted for a candidate other than former Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
Tony also didn't do himself any favours by phoning George Pell, a friend, after his conviction.

So certain were they that Labor was going to win, they voted for an Independent female candidate.
Labor lost, they voted an experienced member of the returned govt out of the seat...so now they have no one of any power representing them.  lol
'Be careful what you wish for' comes to mind.

Miranda Devine

About the only person Morrison didn’t surprise was himself. “I have always believed in miracles,” he said on Saturday night.

His victory was an emphatic repudiation of Labor’s politics of division and identity and it has shaken leftists to their core, as they struggle to realise that their vision of an increasingly progressive, atheist Australia was a mirage.

In his victory speech on Saturday, Morrison paid tribute to “the quiet Australians”. This was the “Shy Scomo” vote that didn’t show up in polls.

Sick of being derided as morally inferior if they didn’t embrace Labor’s divisive cultural agenda and socialist economics, they staged a precision strike at the ballot box.
Shorten called them “knuckle draggers” and “cave dwellers” if they didn’t agree with his utopian climate agenda……..

downunder had a federal election last Saturday;

Labor Party = Left/Far Left...colour RED

Liberal Party = Right/Centre Right...colour BLUE   [actually Liberal party/National party[rural areas] coalition]...LNP or 'The Coalition'.

Morrison’s “Quiet Australians” are the voters Labor rejected

As a man, Scott Morrison is nothing like Donald Trump, but his victory was positively Trumpian.

Like the Trump election in 2016 and the UK’s Brexit vote, the Coalition defied every opinion poll, almost every media commentator and the betting markets to win Saturday’s election.


#####

So certain that the election was going to be won by Labor...the bookies paid out on a Labor win last week, before the election.  LOL
What bookies with any sense pay out before the race is won?

The Climate is always changing.
Ice Ages come and go.
The globe heats up, the globe cools, all by itself.
70+ million lightning strikes in America every year...look at all those tons of carbon.
Cattle, more squillions of tons of carbon.
CO2 is not a pollutant, but the source of all plant life.
Simple really.

There are simple answers to complex problems.

They are wrong, but simple.

In 1982, Exxon projected the growth of the CO2 levels and predicted, as surely, temperature rising - they knew what you do not, which is that the two are linked.

I know many things...one of which is that there are no very fast trains and 'no' 'very good trains' in America because in the 50's the govt and oil companies etc decided that the car and truck would be king, and trains would be phased out in many places...look at all those train carriages stacked up in the desert.
As a result the roads became carparks.
It was the airplane that put the railroad out of the passenger business.

It's not how hard you work.

It's how wealthy your familiy is.

Indeed.
And not what you know, but who you know.

It has ever been so.

Check out the story of Airbnb.
For starters.

Ward, people win the lottery. We know that. It's not news. But if hard work were all it took, there would be many more billionaires than there are. The evidence is in. It has been in for at least 80 years, when the first study I know of illustrated the fact that the best predictor of educational attainment was father's income. Not his or mom's education level. Not the kids' or parents' intelligence. Not where they lived or how many siblings they had. Income.

There have been changes since then, with the lower percentage of nuclear families as one of the factors. But the role of SES in educational attainment is stronger than ever, whether you like it or not.
Ok.
Don’t check out Airbnb.

It doesn't require "checking out," Ward. It's been very much in the public eye.

We Americans love our Horatio Alger stories and tell ourselves how great America is at "rags to riches," but it is just not true as a general tale.

Check out the link I provided. Anecdata is important when confronted with "nobody ever..." but that is not what I am asserting.



“It's all right to tell a man to lift himself by his own bootstraps, but it is cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps.”

Migrant children have heartbeats too?
Of course they do.

Trouble is, ...not every child and adult in Mexico, Central America, Africa, South America, Middle East, North Asia, Sth Asia, SE Asia etc can be moved into USA to live.
It simply can't happen.
There have to be limits.
America takes in the number it can afford.
The rest?...it's a cruel, cruel world out there. People born on garbage dumps, live on garbage dumps their whole lives, fossick for food there, sleep there, maybe raise kids there as well.

The down and out, the homeless [imagine being homeless in the snow and then the dirty, icy slush full of cigarette butts and litter], poor who don't know where their next meal is coming from...in America have heartbeats too.

The United States government took children from legal asylum applicant, transported them, and intentionally did not track where they were taken or to whom they were given, to prevent their being returned to their families.


Which, if true, was totally the wrong thing to do.
