NYC vending machines cater to drug users with free crack pipes, lip balm — and Narcan for ODs
[NYPOST] Big Apple officials unveiled a street vending machine Monday that covers it all when it comes to catering to drug-users, offering free handy paraphernalia such as crack pipes and lip balm — and also Narcan for overdoses.

The vending machine, one of four set to be placed in some of the city’s most drug-infested neighborhoods, swaps out what would be more typical offerings such as candy bars and potato chips for the drug-related freebies to try to combat the surge in overdoses in the five boroughs, city Health Department bigs said.

"Every three hours, we’re losing a New Yorker [to drugs]. And it looks like 2022 is on track to be our highest year ever in overdoses,’’ Health and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Ashwin Vasan said at a presser next to the first machine, which is parked near a nonprofit aimed at offering housing and other support for those in need.

"We have a rising tide of fentanyl, and now we have other substances entering our drug supply, which is really putting us behind the eight ball," Vasan said.

He specifically noted the increasing presence of Xylazine, a veterinary drug known as "Tranq" or the "zombie drug’’ that can leave users in a catatonic state and with conditions that eat their flesh off.

"We’re looking to stock these machines with those [test strips] as well," Vasan said.

#4  Why were no Snickers bars and condoms included in these machines? This demonstrates lack of respect.

Biden whistleblowers 'fear for their lives': Republicans say FBI won't hand over alleged $5 million 'bribery' document because key informant's safety could be in jeopardy
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The FBI allowed leaders of the House Oversight Committee to view the FD-1023 form Republicans say proves President Biden was involved in a $5 million criminal bribery scheme

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told DailyMail.com it is 'purely political' that the FBI isn't handing over the document - which has the names of the informant and whistleblower redacted to protect their identities

  • Contempt of Congress charges will still be initiated against FBI Director Wray

#6  If there are active articles of impeachment in the House for Biden, Wray and others, why is Wray being threaten with a wet noodle?

#7  All threats coming from Congress are wet noodles. The few that aren't, will boiled down until they are. That's how McConnel sees his job.
