Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Deadly Violence

Irresponsible Liberal Politics Multiplying Disaster
In the last several days beginning May 31, both Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham on Fox News have featured expert testimony on the link between marijuana, psychosis, and violent behavior. Mass shootings at schools, churches, and other venues seem to be epidemic.
Ingraham suggested that the terrible shooting tragedies in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, might be explained by marijuana-induced mental illness, which has a frequent pattern of deadly violence. Ingraham may have had some specific information on this, but this has not yet been firmly established. But the tremendous stir in the mainstream liberal media over her remarks suggests a coordinated coverup. Following the May 31 program by Ingraham, the internet attacks against her were a hurricane of derogatory insults and arrogant dismissals of any implication that marijuana might in any way be an underlying factor in these shootings. Their very intensity indicated a strong vested interest in the profitable expansion of the marijuana industry, especially “recreational” marijuana.

The Democrat Party’s Immigration Road to Dominance
In 2004, the Republican Presidential candidate George W. Bush carried every Southern and Border State except Maryland. He carried Texas with 61 percent, Georgia with 58 percent, North Carolina with 56 percent, Virginia with 54 percent, and Florida with 52 percent.
In 1972, Richard Nixon had carried Texas with 66 percent, Georgia with 76 percent, North Carolina with almost 70 percent, Virginia with 68 percent, and Florida with 72 percent. The South had been a bastion for conservative Republican support.

Sherman’s Campaign against Atlanta 1864

The Legacy of Total War Strategy
Many historians date the Atlanta campaign from late April 1864 to September 2, 1864. The September 2 date, however, only marks the withdrawal of General Hood’s Confederate forces from Jonesboro and the official surrender by Atlanta Mayor, James Calhoun. That leaves out an important part of the history. It was not until November 12 that Sherman destroyed Atlanta by ordering all buildings except homes and churches to be burned. Many homes and churches, however, were caught up in the conflagration.
Union forces had begun to probe Confederate strength south of Ringgold, Georgia on April 24 with the objective of a major advance on Atlanta, an important Confederate railroad center and supply depot. Up until the middle of May, General Joe Wheeler’s Confederate cavalry were able to frustrate Sherman’s enormous army of over 100,000 men attempting to advance toward Atlanta.

Pennsylvania’s Heated Republican U.S. Senate Primary
- By Mike Scruggs
- Category: Mike Scruggs' Column
What’s behind Kathy Barnette’s Surge?
There are five U.S. Senate primaries on May 17. Pennsylvania may be the most important, because it is key to Republican hopes to recapture a Republican Senate majority. It has also become close and hotly contested with the two front-runners being unexpectedly challenged by an outspoken ultra-MAGA candidate.
Kathy Barnette is a 50-year-old black conservative woman. She is a strong Christian and considers herself an ultra-MAGA. A recent Fox poll shows her support surging in the eight candidate primary and closing fast on front-runners Dr. Mehmet Oz, 61, a TV celebrity heart surgeon, and Dave McCormick 57, decorated Army war veteran, businessman, and former U.S. Treasury Undersecretary. President Trump has endorsed Oz, and Texas Senator Ted Cruz has endorsed McCormick. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst bravely endorsed Barnette.

Amnesty – The Road to Democrat Rule and National Suicide

Reviewing the Danger and the Soft Power Solution
The Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR) recently estimated that there are 15.5 million illegal immigrants in the United States. This was up 9.4 percent from the previous year and is now growing even faster because of the Biden Administration’s deliberately accelerated unlawful open-door immigration policies. Thus it would be conservative to estimate an illegal population of over 20 million by 2014, the next Presidential Election Year. FAIR also estimated that the fiscal costs alone would amount to $200 billion annually by 2025.
