PRESIDENT TRUMP LET'S PEOPLE TRY ILLEGAL DRUGS LEGALLY

 TRUMP UNLEASHES RIGHT TO TRY PSYCHEDELICS

By: Derek Varsalona

Praise be to God and President Trump.  Early Sunday morning, President Trump saw the light of God and legalized research and the right to try all psychedelic drugs in America.  This is a great breakthrough for people with mental health challenges and illnesses.  It gives people the right to try certain medications to cure or at least help their mental illness.  But as we know, the drug industry is not in the business of curing patients but prolonging their problems with medication.  You see, my friends, if a disease is cured, then there is no need for the job and no need for the funding.  But instead of the people treating the disease, more funding is needed.

President Trump signed landmark legislation early Saturday Morning.  He is letting people give the right to try new medications based on their physical and psychological conditions.  I applaud President Trump for doing this.  But we do not go far enough.  What needs to happen next is to close down all costly and ineffective mental asylums and give people the right treatment with their families and caregivers along the way.  We also need to help patients advocate for themselves since they know exactly what is going on with their bodies.

Thank you, President Trump, for signing this Executive Order.  As for me, yes, I am on medication for more of a condition due to having multiple disabilities.  As always, comments are accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MISSES THE MARK ON MENTAL ILLNESS

TRUMP MISSES THE MARK ON MENTAL ILLNESS

By: Derek Varsalona

I personally do not have a mental illness.  I do know some people who have it, and no being a Liberal does not make one mentally ill.  Mental Illness is a serious situation in America.  I believer that drug addiction to illegal and/or prescription narcotics are gateway drugs that can lead to life long dependency and mental illness.  President Trump is trying to solve the problem.  Kudos to him but he does not go far enough in the measure.  The one thing that is going to prevent someone with a mental illness from doing harm to one self or another loved one is being and feeling loved in return.  Shock therapy, verbal abuse other forms of abuse are not going to help or cure the victim of mental illness.  I am not a doctor, nor do i play one on TV, but I do know the struggles.

President Trump claims the medical field has long struggled to address the burden of mental illness.  That is because they are not trying to cure mental illness.  It is a multi million dollar or multi billion dollar industry the phramachueticals trying to manage mental illness.  They never try to cure mental illness since that would dry up the monies and finances associated with funding the disease.  

Follow the money and you find why there is no cure for diseases only ways to treat them.  Once you find the cure the money dries up after a one hit wonder.  Why would the government and the pharmaceuticals want to do that?

Between 2018-2020 the suicide rate in this nation has risen by 37%.  Yes, I a m a profile Libertarian who supports President Trump but not Republicans.  The fact of the matter is there is a way to combat suicide.  Like John Lennon and the Beatles Said all you need is love.  Try it sometime and a Jesus said love one another.  As always comments accepted.

INFLATION WILL RISE WITH STRAIT OF HORMUZ CLOSED

WILL THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ OPEN?

By: Derek Varsalona

With the Strait of Hormuz still closed by President Trump, the world is on edge.  President Trump is single-handedly opening up the world to inflation by closing down the Straight of Hormuz.  With international trade stalling the price of oil and everything after that is going through the roof.

The Republicans used to be about free trade.  The Democrats used to love taxes and tariffs.  Not anymore.  Democrats still love tariffs and taxes, but it is the Republicans who abandon their principles on free trade.

Closing the Straight of Hormuz can be nothing more than a disaster.  Everything is going to go up in cost.  What I worry about are the people on the Straight that need medical supplies, food, and fresh water daily.  It is not like they live in America, where everything is at your beck and call.  They live in the Straight of Hormuz, where everything is scarce with trade shut down, and prices are going up.  As always, comments are accepted.

ISRAEL IS A TERRORIST STATE

ISRAEL TERRORIST WILL NOT BACK DOWN

By: Derek Varsalona

Israel is a terrorist nation, and everyone knows it. After signing a truce and a ceasefire that both Israel and America wanted, Israel resumed attacks.

This is not fair and is hurtful to the people of the region.  I have no other voice but to call Israel for what they are, a terrorist nation.  You would think that years after the Holocaust in World War II, Israel would not become the aggressor.  This is no longer about preserving national security.  This is about the Little Satan acting like a bully.

The way to deal with Israel is to treat it like the terrorist nation that they are.  America should remove all international funding from Israel.  Israel has long benefited wrongly from America, making it and treating it like the 51st state.  As always, comments are accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP ATTACKS POPE LEO

 PRESIDENT TRUMP ATTACKS POPE FRANCIS

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump launched a fresh round of attacks on Pope Francis on Wednesday.  Going against the Separation of Church and State, the man, President Trump, might just be condemned to hell.

On Wednesday, President Trump launched fresh attacks on Pope Francis.  Talking about sinning against the church, although the Catholic church is not President Trump's church, nor is it mine. At the hands of Israel, at least 42,000 children have been slaughtered in their nuclear holocaust.  Why is it okay for America and Israel to have nuclear weapons?  As always, comments are accepted.

IRAN'S ECONOMY IS IN SHATTERS THANKS TO TRUMP

 Iran's economy is in shatters thanks to Trump

By: Derek Varsalona

With President Trump's blockade of the Straits of Hormuz, the Iranian economy is left in shatters.  I also agree with President Trump that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon.  But isolating Iran from the rest of the world is not the smart way to conduct business or conduct diplomacy.  If anything, this hurts international relations.  What else is going to hurt is that this is going to increase inflation, which is nothing more than a tax on the poor and the disabled.

What I am afraid is that Iran is going to use a chemical or biological bomb on American interests.  No one believes that Iran's nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes.  We single-handedly isolated Iran and killed their economy.  A lot of people are going to be hurting.  With people starving, it is going to put a damper on the fact that they might want to overthrow the Mullahs.  

Iran needs to be dealt with.  But there is a better way to deal with Iran than opposing them and starving their people.  It is time to give negotiations a chance, and this time with open arms and open minds instead of closed minds and clenched fists.  As always, comments accepted.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SUED OVER DISABILITY ACCESS

 EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SUED OVER DISABILITY

By: Derek Varsalona

The Department of Education is being sued over discrimination against two disabled women who said their loans were denied without proper review.  This is a case of outright discrimination.

The Education Department has no right to deny someone their application without proper review and going through the right channels.  People depend on loans to get through drastically expensive education.  The fact of the matter is that no administration has done anything to keep the cost of college down.  I know that it is tough to run a college.  With Athletics, Room and board, insurance, and other factors, running a college is a daunting task.

The fact of the matter is that the disabled are not given equal access to their education when their loans are denied without just cause.  As always, comments are accepted.
