This may or not have been revealed earlier than last week, but it seems it has been leaked that the cocaine found in the White House belonged to someone “in the Biden family orbit.”
Hmm…well, we know it’s not Joe’s or he wouldn’t be failing (spoonerism intentional) asleep listening to survivors of the Maui fire disaster.
His brother’s too fat, Jill just doesn’t seem the type (more of a bottle of gin hidden in the toilet tank type,) and while they recently acknowledged the existence of a new-ish member of the family, little Navy will never ever be allowed in the White House so that’s a no.
So whom does that leave? Before you jump to conclusions, Hunter does have a reasonable defense: it was only one gram - that’s breakfast for him - and it was powder, not rock, so there’s that.
Sadly, I think this will be a mystery for the ages…
What is not a mystery for the ages is that you (much of the present company excluded, of course – did I not mention that a paid subscription includes immortality?) will die at some point.
And if Canada gets its way, that will point will come sooner rather than later for our brethren in the Great Woke North.
The nation has something called the MAID – Medical Assistance in Dying – program and it’s been around for a bit. The government recently announced – and then quickly unannounced for further study – adding a new reason you can give to get the government to help you off yourself: poor mental health.
In general, it would seem that putting the decision whether or not they can kill themselves in the hands of crazy people may not be such a good idea, though it could be argued that suicide is the ultimate “transition” – call it Death-Affirming Care.
The program started like many others – if you have a terminal illness and a bunch of doctors say you’re definitely going to snuff it in a shortly feel free to go ahead and pull your own plug and end you and your family’s pain and suffering – there’s a legitimate argument for that.
But the program evolved and it got easier and easier to do. And government employees have actually handed MAID pamphlets out to people who seem a bit upset and potentially expensive to the nationalized health care system – last year, medal-winning Paralympian Christine Gauthier testified that she was reminded that MAID was an option as she went back and forth with the bureaucracy about getting a wheelchair lift installed in her home.
In another case, a veteran says he was handed a MAID pamphlet while dealing with his PTSD and, for a final example, a woman with severe chemical sensitivity opted for MAID when the government could not find her affordable appropriate housing.
Seriously.
With the delayed but almost certain to come to pass addition of mental health issues, a line is already starting to form. A 47-year-old anorexic woman said she will take the (needle) plunge when she can.
One in thirty-three deaths in Canada are now through MAID.
While that’s terribly depressing and shocking and evil and wrong and etc., MAID does provide an excellent opportunity for a little dark humor.
If you have a very very rich and very very not nice relative, why not make a donation in their name to CAMAP - the Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers, a non-profit professional organization?
The trick is to do it now, while they’re still alive.
Hint hint.
Here’s the website - https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/79390?v2=true – and you can make sure they will not know who it came from and – this is the best – you can make sure they get a “thank you” card from the group. Here’s (really) one of the card options:
Awwww…..Ka-Ching!
On a personal note – and, well, maybe a demand that you follow suit note - I thought I’d not at all flauntingly share with you a comment on Coup du Publique - https://thomas699.substack.com/p/coup-du-publique . The article recently ran on the Issues and Insight website - https://issuesinsights.com/ - and apparently garnered quite a bit of traffic.
And here is the reader comment, a comment that should be emulated by one and all:
This may be — and probably is — the most important article published on any news and opinion site these past three years. The illumination of the process the U.S. is undergoing is vital. It must be made completely lucid to Us the People. Of course, the Legacy Media, and much of the New Media, are dead set against allowing that. Much kudos to Thomas Buckley and to I&I.
I couldn’t have said it better myself and, no, I didn’t say it myself – thanks Francis W. Porretto!
Finally, I was walking in the grocery store the other day and a mom and her two kids trundled by and I happened to hear one of the kids - about 10-ish I think – say to her “well, you gotta do what you gotta do.”
I have no idea of the context, but hearing a 10-year-old utter such a world-weary, resigned, mature statement in such a matter-of-fact tone struck me as just, well, unusual. I’m not sure it’s depressing, as he could just be either preternaturally well-adjusted or if he happened to hear his dad say it or what have you – but I do know that I personally do not recall even thinking something like that at that age, an age of limitless possibilities.

Thanks for subscribing!
As I read about Canada's horrific MAID program, I remember that they are opening it up for those with mental illness, and that one of their officials described vaccine refusal as "mental illness." Sounds like "anti-Vaxxers" will be "volunteered" for the program, eventually.
