Toni: I am very concerned about a phone call I received yesterday from a representative with Medicare asking all types of personal questions and informing me that there was a new plastic Medicare card with a chip like a credit card. I told the caller what you said during your online Medicare webinar and for us to not give personal information over the phone.

Xylazine is a veterinary tranquilizer that is not approved for human use. It also goes by the names “tranq,” “tranq dope,” and “zombie drug.” Xylazine is becoming a issue because it is being “cut” or diluted with other chemicals in street drugs to increase profit. Xylazine is worrying because it causes dangerous wounds that spread and worsen quickly. These wounds can happen no matter how the drug is used. These wounds have been found in people that are snorting, injecting, or smoking, and it is critical to get medical attention because it is very difficult for these wounds to heal on their own. The wounds are painful, but even worse, if they go untreated, it can lead to amputation because of a scaly dead tissue called eschar. In Philadelphia, 90% of the dope samples they tested returned positive for having Xylazine. Xylazine is a non-opioid tranquilizer now linked to fentanyl overdose deaths. When someone is overdosing on Fentanyl, Naloxone is administered. When Xylazine plays a factor in the overdose, because it is a non-opioid tranquilizer the narcotic reversal does not impact Xylazine that depresses a persons breathing. This is causing Naloxone to become less effective and the number of overdoses to increase. Recently the FDA has restricted the import of Xylazine due to the increase in it being found in fentanyl and heroin. It is being realized that all manner of street drugs are being being laced with It for profit increase. The problem is that Xylazine’s prevalence in drugs is truly unknown because many hospitals don’t test for it.
A broad House education bill earned support at a Senate hearing Tuesday although some questioned the longterm effectiveness of its funding proposals. House Bill 497 seeks to address two critical issues with Missouri public schools: that Missouri ranks last in the nation for teacher pay and is among the lowest for public school expenditures per student.
In the two years following Joe Biden’s inauguration, nearly everything he touched under one-party Democrat rule turned into a crisis. His executive actions and the administration’s policies created an energy crisis; the massive spending he championed set off the worst inflation crisis in 40 years; and Washington Democrat’s embrace of soft-on-crime policies helped create a violent crime crisis. House Republicans promised the American people that we would fight to change the direction of our country, and in our first 100 days, we have done just that.
When will we stop being so shocked when we hear about another senseless or careless shooting? How can victims of gun violence and the people who care for them forget or forgive? How can the rest of us unsee gun violence?
