Opioid Overdose Death Rate for U.S. Black Population Is Higher Than for White

Fentanyl’s spread and the pandemic’s destabilizing effects have accelerated fatal drug overdoses in Black communities

The proliferation of the potent opioid fentanyl, and a pandemic that has added hazards for people who use drugs, are driving new records in U.S. overdose deaths, and Black communities have been hit especially hard.

The most recent full-year of federal data, through 2020, shows the rate of drug deaths among Black people eclipsed the rate in the white population, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles recently demonstrated.

The increase in overdoses among Black people comes as fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to 50 times as powerful as heroin, continues to pour into the U.S. There are legitimate forms of fentanyl used to treat pain, but the main version wreaking havoc in the U.S. is illicitly made by Mexican cartels and smuggled into the U.S.

93-Year-Old Woman Couldn't Pay $2,300 Tax Bill. DEMOCRATS Sold Her Home & Took the $

93-year-old Geraldine Tyler fled her Minneapolis condominium after an upsurge in crime and a disturbing encounter left her uneasy. But she was unable to finance both her new apartment and the property tax on her erstwhile condo, accruing $2,300 in debt.

The DEMOCRAT-dominated government raised that debt by over 550 percent, tacking on almost $13,000 in additional penalties, fines, and interest. And when Tyler couldn't pay that, it seized her property, sold it —and kept the profit.

They don't need "voters" any more, alive or dead. They just "find" as many ballots as they need to "win", and they have weeks to do it in.

Another Black Lives Matter Scandal Emerges

A Boston community organizer who rose to prominence after rallying thousands to protest the killing of George Floyd is under federal investigation for possible misuse of donations to her nonprofit, Violence in Boston Inc.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, who started her charity with $1,000 in 2017 and now operates out of a 4,000-square-foot headquarters in Hyde Park, has come under scrutiny as part of an investigation by the US Attorney’s office that led to the October arrest of her husband, Clark Grant, and the raid of their Taunton home.

A federal grand jury recently subpoenaed records from the Suffolk District Attorney’s office, one of many public and private donors to Cannon-Grant’s organization, whose stated mission is “to improve the quality of life and life outcomes of individuals from underserved communities by reducing the prevalence of violence and the impact of associated trauma while addressing social injustices through advocacy and direct services.”

New Data Show the Exodus From Public Schools Is Continuing

NOBODY WANTS THEIR KIDS INDOCTRINATED OR MOLESTED BY LEFTISTS, I GUESS​

Since 2020, more families have been fleeing local district schools for other options.

Homeschooling rates doubled in that year alone and remain high today.

Home-based “pandemic pods” have evolved into established micro-schools and co-op arrangements that have worked better for many families than a conventional classroom.

Catholic schools, like other private schools, were more likely to remain open while district schools were closed and have experienced their first enrollment hike in two decades.

More students are now learning in virtual schools and charter schools than they were pre-pandemic.

Parents are recognizing that they have many more options for their children’s education and are continuing to abandon government-assigned district schools.

While it was understandable that parents might seek different learning settings for their children amidst 2020 school closures, new data suggests the exodus from district schools isn’t letting up.

Minnesota Public Radio reported last week that statewide public school enrollment declined again this year on top of the previous pandemic-year drop.

This week, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that public schools in that city are “losing students at a faster pace than school leaders expected.” This is making some of them nervous, as continued enrollment declines will likely lead to less taxpayer-funding of district schools.

Michigan public school enrollment is down again this year, as it is in Rhode Island. Larger cities such as New York City also continue to have dramatic enrollment declines this year, on top of previous enrollment losses since the pandemic began. That city saw a 5 percent drop in district school enrollment this year, for a cumulative 9 percent enrollment drop since the pandemic response began.

West Coast cities are facing similar enrollment challenges. Officials in Oakland, California voted last month to close several public schools in that city due to falling enrollment. A recent article in Time Magazine noted that at least part of Oakland’s enrollment decline is due to families fleeing California.
