War on Drugs Killed Cold Medicine

Studies are showing that the most widely sold oral decongestant in the US doesn’t do anything, but we already knew that. The name of the drug is phenylephrine, and its sold as a key ingredient in things like NyQuil and other cold medicines.

When the Feds decided to stop people from making Meth, they needed to pull pseudoephedrine from the market, so they were looking for a replacement and settled on phenylephrine.

In the hospital, the intravenous version of phenylephrine is called “neo” by nurses. It’s found in nasal sprays like neo-synephrine, where it works pretty well. It’s a vasoconstrictor, meaning that it causes blood vessels to constrict, and it can be useful for increasing a patient’s blood pressure without affecting heart rate when given in an IV, and it shrinks sinus tissue when sprayed in the nose. When given orally, not so much.

It also doesn’t work worth a darn as a cold medicine. Anyone who has tried taking it knows that it doesn’t really work. If you want a true decongestant, you have to go to the pharmacy counter and hand over ID so your cold medicine can be registered. I guess that way, the cops can more effectively catch those who make meth.

Except meth is still widely available, but now I can’t breathe whenever I have a cold.

5th Circuit Gets It Right

The 5th circuit Court of appeals struck down the Trump bump stock ban today, but not on 2A grounds. The appellant said that a bump stock can’t be a machine gun because the law defines a machine gun as one that fires multiple times with a “single function of the trigger” and a bump stock causes the trigger to function multiple times.

The government argued that the key is the action of the shooter, who only has to do one thing, the shooter’s trigger finger isn’t doing anything other than sitting still.

That would be a great argument if the law said a machine gun is one that fires multiple shots with a single action taken by the shooter, but that isn’t what the law says. It specifically says “single function of the trigger.”

Stay Away From Our Kids

It’s just that simple. I don’t care if a man wants to have sex with other men. I don’t care if a man wants to dress as a woman. I don’t care if a man thinks that he is a woman. Whatever. You do you. What I care about is that you don’t force me to play along, and I especially want you to stay away from kids.

So when I see a man who thinks that he is a woman and dresses like a cat in order to give shows to children, especially when he openly states that he is “delivering children-focused programming with the goal of helping children develop positive relationships with themselves and others,” I have a problem with it. This mother should be investigated:

South Philly resident Mishana Klein has been taking her 7-year-old daughter to the story time since it first started five years ago. When her daughter first attended she “used to be really self-conscious … and now she’s so confident when she struts along with Maria Topcatt,”

Meanwhile, they are using public schools to indoctrinate children in the first grade. At least here in Florida, it’s illegal for them to use your tax dollars to groom first grade children for being molested by men who think that they are women and are dressed like cats in order to lure children.

Meanwhile, the Columbus, Ohio police department hears about a drag queen story hour for kids, and VOLUNTEERS to provide security, even though they were expressly told by the groomer freaks that they weren’t needed or wanted.

I don’t understand why the cops want to support the very people who want to defund them. Seeing that there have been violent political protests and that police are actively providing support and security for the leftists, I am forced to move Columbus from Zone 1 to Zone 3.

Don’t forget that Zone 3 is a zone where violence has has taken place with little to no attempt at mitigating response from local authorities. Additionally, police and/or prosecutors are likely to bring the full weight of the law down upon those who attempt to defend themselves from these actors, or those who speak out against them.

New Law for Landlords in Florida

If you own a rental property in Florida, today is the day that a new law goes into effect. Owners of rental property consisting of 5 or more units (including hotels) will have to conduct background checks of all employees, and will have to keep a log of everyone who is given a key to rental units and requires that the key be returned once the work in that unit is complete.

This law is a response to a 19 year old woman that was murdered by the maintenance man of her apartment complex. Even if this law had been in place then, it would have prevented nothing. The maintenance man had no criminal history.

Also, nothing in the law prevents a person with murderous intent from making a copy of the key and then using that copy six months later.

Stupid, useless law that accomplishes nothing.
