Democrat-controlled cities and states always have the most liberal policies. But they always fail.

And now, a shocking development sent one Democrat state into lockdown.

Legislators in Oregon decided on Friday to criminalize minor drug possession as a misdemeanor after the state’s failed attempts at decriminalization.

Voters in Oregon approved Ballot Measure 110 in November 2020, decriminalizing the personal possession of drugs like heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and LSD.

As the first state in the union to approve such a measure, Oregon changed the criminal misdemeanor of possessing hard drugs to a Class E misdemeanor, which carries a citation of up to $100 rather than criminal penalties.

Decriminalization efforts by the state led to a massive increase in overdose deaths and extensive drug use outdoors.

Legislators in Oregon celebrated the bill as a response to addiction, but the decriminalization showed otherwise and was received as a painful lesson.

The Oregon Senate decided on Friday to reinstate the misdemeanor criminal offense of using hard drugs, voting 21–8 in favor of the move.

By a vote of 51 to 7, the Oregon House of Representatives decided on Thursday to reverse the decriminalization policy.

Now, the bill is on the desk of Democratic Governor Tina Kotek, awaiting her signature.

Opioids and methamphetamine laced with fentanyl have caused the biggest increase in overdose deaths, and these drugs have proliferated in Democratic-run cities all over the country.

The decriminalization attempt in Oregon was a complete failure, according to Brandon del Pozo, a former police officer and drug policy researcher at Brown University, who spoke with the Washington Post.

“Unfortunately, in the history of drug policy, Oregon’s Measure 110 will go down in the lessons learned — rather than the lasting innovations — category,” he said.

When the bill passed, its supporters argued that drug use and possession should be treated like medical conditions rather than crimes.

Yet, after the law went into effect in February 2021, overdoses increased by 700% and overdose deaths increased by 120% in the first year.

“The Oregon ballot initiative was presented to the public as pro-treatment but it has been a complete failure in that regard,” said Keith Humphreys, an addiction researcher for the Associated Press.

Measure 110 eliminated the criminal penalties related to having “lesser” amounts of illegal substances, such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine.

Police issued $100 citations to drug users instead of taking suspects to prison.

By enrolling in a treatment center or by contacting a state-funded hotline, the citations may be avoided.

But after receiving citations, very few people called the hotline for mental health services.

Overall, the entire push by Oregon was a complete disaster and once again exposed the Radical Left’s disregard for American lives.

Americans across the nation are scared. And the administration in charge is only making things worse.

But now, a Republican leader has made a chilling prediction that has people horrified.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that the media and Democratic politicians are doing everything they can to cover up the fact that the man accused of killing a Georgia student last week is an illegal alien because the left sees illegal aliens as future democratic voters.

Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien from Venezuela who is 26 years old, was taken into custody on Friday for the murder of Laken Riley.

Riley’s skull was allegedly crushed during the savage attack on February 22. Later on, her body was found in the woods.

Cruz was questioned on Wednesday about why the media is refusing to report that the suspect in the case is an illegal alien.

During an interview, Cruz was asked about the situation in the media and the suspect who entered the country during President Joe Biden’s border crisis, which is the biggest illegal immigration crisis in American history.

Cruz answered the question bluntly though: “Because they support the open borders we have,” he stated.

“The 10.6 million illegal immigrants who have crossed under Joe Biden — Democrats and the media both view all of them as future Democrat voters,” he continued.

Cruz highlighted that “if people have to die, if children have to be assaulted, if women have to be raped — they are willing to accept that as collateral damage.”

Cruz went even further to warn Americans of more attacks coming in the future.

He said, “The odds of a major terrorist attack in America today are greater than they have been at any point since September 11, 2001.”

“Every time I am on the border, when I talk to Border Patrol agents they tell me they are concerned about Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists crossing over and trying to commit another mass murder like October 7,” he added.

The Radical Left does not care about the lives of American citizens.

All they care about is staying in power so that they can continue to forward their Radical Agenda.

We have already seen how willing they are to weaponize the government against their political opponents, but now the situation at the border has exposed their other plans.

The Radical Left is trying to overrun and destroy this country.

We cannot allow this to happen, and we must fight back against the harm and destruction of the Left.

Society hates the truth and they hate journalists who speak the truth. But now things have crossed a line.

Because an attack on a major American journalist could mean the end of free speech.

Catherine Herridge, a seasoned investigative journalist, was found in civil contempt on Thursday by a federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama for her refusal to identify the source of her reports regarding a Chinese scientist employed by an American university and the subject of a criminal investigation by the FBI.

A fine of $800 per day, or almost $300,000 annually, was imposed by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper until Herridge disclosed the identity of her source for the stories she authored while working at Fox News.

“Herridge and many of her colleagues in the journalism community may disagree with that decision and prefer that a different balance be struck, but she is not permitted to flout a federal court’s order with impunity,” Cooper wrote.

Herridge, who is well-respected for her objectivity and pursuit of stories that many in the mainstream media overlook, is being investigated by the federal government to determine whether the Chinese scientist lied about her military service and whether the Chinese could access her school’s student database.

Cooper demanded that Herridge explain how she found out about this investigation.

The Associated Press reported that the Chinese national filed a lawsuit against the federal government, alleging that it provided Herridge with information that breached their privacy.

The information included personal photographs, information taken from her immigration and naturalization forms, and snippets of an FBI document summarizing an interview conducted during the investigation.

“Holding a journalist in contempt for protecting a confidential source has a deeply chilling effect on journalism,” Fox News said in a statement late on Thursday, criticizing the decision.

Fox News Media then highlighted how they are still dedicated to defending the freedoms of speech and the press, and it thinks this ruling ought to be challenged.

We cannot allow this sort of censorship to continue.

The Radical Left in America and across the world will stop at nothing until all journalists who speak the truth are punished.

This specific scenario is just one of many such instances that highlights just how badly the Left hates free speech.

Democrat-appointed judges all across the nation are attacking journalists and free speakers and fining them or worse locking them up.

It is clear that no matter what, the Left will not stop until the only thing in the media is their propaganda.

We must not give way to these horrific and corrupt politicians in power.

We must take the power back for the people and allow the free flow of free speech under our first amendment rights.

Stay tuned to Prudent Politics for more updates on this developing story.

Since Joe Biden’s border security has been so weak, the United States has been weakened. But now the unthinkable has happened.

And a foreign attack in a US state has shocked the nation.

Three Chinese nationals were detained early on Wednesday morning by border police in Maine as they attempted to enter the state illegally from the US north of Fort Fairfield.

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency intercepted the three unidentified Chinese nationals as they were crossing the border, according to reporting from Maine Wire, a local outlet.

“After noticing suspicious activity along the border, vigilant Fort Fairfield Border Patrol agents arrested three Chinese nationals attempting to use the cover of darkness to illegally enter the United States,” read a CBP statement.

“A driver from New York, also a Chinese national who is already in immigration proceedings was also arrested and suspected of attempting to further the illegal entry,” it added.

A fourth Chinese national was detained as well on suspicion of helping the other people cross the border illegally.

This individual was driving at the time.

If the citizens belonged to the groups referred to as Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), it was not immediately clear.

A DHS memo claims that these criminal groups operate drug operations across Maine’s northern border.

The operations’ profits are utilized to support drug trafficking, human smuggling, and other illegal activities.

The number of Chinese illegal immigrants entering the US under Joe Biden is still rising, and this arrest has highlighted the increase.

Since Biden assumed office in 2021, the number of these foreign nationals apprehended at the border with Mexico has increased by 4,000 percent.

Additionally, the DHS under Biden has loosened up the screening procedures for the influx of illegal immigrants into the nation.

There were only five interview questions left on the list of 40 for the vetting process.

Illegal crossings at the northern border increased by 550 percent in 2023 alone.

We cannot allow this madness to continue any longer.

America is under attack, and Joe Biden is doing nothing about it.

The Radical Left is doing absolutely everything they can to destroy this great nation, including opening America up to attacks from China.

We must fight back against the Radical regime of the Left.

We must take to the polls and make our voices heard.

Joe Biden and the Radical Left are refusing to address the crisis on the border. But now they have taken things way too far.

And Biden has made comments so disgraceful while visiting the border that even Democrats are cringing.

When President Biden visited the US-Mexico border in Texas on Thursday, he refused to discuss the passing of Georgia college student Laken Riley.

Riley, a 22-year-old Augusta University nursing student in Georgia, was murdered last week by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant.

When reporters questioned Biden about Laken’s death, he refused to answer them.

A reporter questioned Biden, “Do you bear any responsibility for Laken Riley’s death?” during the press briefing.

After declining to respond to the question, Biden left the stage.

The 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra was taken into custody on Saturday on murder charges after Riley was discovered dead in the nearby woods while jogging.

Authorities said Riley died from injuries consistent with severe force trauma to the head.

After being taken into the Clarke County Jail, Ibarra was charged with kidnapping, felony murder, aggravated violence, and malice murder.

According to authorities, Ibarra entered the country illegally in September 2022 while President Biden was in charge of El Paso, Texas.

Instead of addressing the death of an American citizen that he is responsible for, Biden decided to talk about other things.

The Democratic president warned of climate change during his speech, referring to those who deny it as “Neanderthals.”

“I love some of my Neanderthal friends who still think there’s no climate change.”

On Thursday, Biden and former President Trump traveled to the Texas border between the US and Mexico.

Although the White House released a vague and insincere statement earlier this week, Biden has not yet made a public statement regarding Riley’s murder.

Trump went to Eagle Pass, the epicenter of Biden’s historic catastrophe involving illegal immigration, while Biden chose to give his statement from Brownsville.

Trump used the Eagle Pass speech as an occasion to discuss Riley’s horrific death.

“Joe Biden will never say Laken Riley’s name, but we will say it and we will remember. We’re not going to forget her” Trump declared.

The front-runner for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump, stated that events such as this shouldn’t be permitted to occur in the United States and attributed Riley’s death to President Biden’s administration’s open-border policy.

We cannot allow this madness to continue any longer.

We must fight back against the Radical Left and the failed leadership of Joe Biden.

Joe Biden has caused a crisis in this country and people are starting to realize it. Even Democrats are turning on the President.

And now, a major Democrat stabs Biden in the back with one shocking statement.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City said on Monday that illegal immigration has become so rampant in the city that officials must consider amending the city’s sanctuary status to allow local law enforcement to work with federal immigration authorities to deport violent criminal immigrants.

“We should not be allowing people who are repeatedly committing crimes to remain here and we cannot collaborate with ICE in the process,” Adams said.

“Those who are committing crimes, we need to modify the sanctuary city law. If you commit a felony, a violent act, we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported.”

Adams made these comments following the brutal beating of two New York City Police Department officers by a group of aggressive illegal aliens late last month.

The immigrants were later freed as a result of the city’s Democratic sanctuary city policy.

They smirked and flipped off reporters after being freed from prison.

After that, the illegal immigrants left the state and headed for California when they were apprehended and detained by federal agents in Arizona.

Following the brutal attack on the police that was captured on camera, went viral online, and was featured in news reports, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell severely criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office for allowing the illegal aliens to be released.

“I would have assumed that they wouldn’t let illegal immigrants who attack police go, but they did,” Mitchell said.

Adams stated that the sanctuary city regulations in the city need to be changed, coinciding with the rise in illegal alien-related crime nationwide under President Joe Biden.

Due to Biden’s actions, the number of illegal aliens who have entered the country exceeds 7.2 million, which is more than the population of 36 states.

Prior to this fall’s rematch of the general election between Biden and former President Donald Trump, voters’ #1 concern overall is now Biden’s border crisis.

Under Biden, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has observed a sharp rise in the quantity of criminal illegal aliens intercepted at the border.

Even Democrats are turning on Biden and beginning to realize what a mess he has created.

We cannot allow for this to continue any longer.

We must take our country back.

Joe Biden’s health has been a major talking point for Americans across the nation. And many people wonder if he is mentally fit.

But now, the White House has made a shocking statement about Biden’s health that has Americans stunned.

The results of Joe Biden’s annual physical were released Wednesday by his physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who said there are no new concerns.

O’Connor said Biden is “fit for duty” and physically able to fulfill the duties of the presidency.

Biden's doctor says his latest physical revealed "no new concerns" pic.twitter.com/dCu08XQoC2

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) February 28, 2024

In his memo to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, O’Connor claimed, “The President feels well and this year’s physical identified no new concerns.”

“He continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations,” he added.

However, there seem to be MANY new concerns that are well documented across all of the internet for the whole world to see.

Biden seems to not be able to form a coherent thought on his own, walk around without falling over, and cannot remember the most basic details.

It also appears he can talk with ghosts as many times he has claimed he has corresponded recently with people who have been dead for years.

Yet the Radical Left is trying to convince the whole world that Joe Biden is “healthy.”

“President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief,” O’Connor added in his report.

The doctor noted that his conclusions had been confirmed by experts at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The report states that Biden’s overall health has not changed significantly since his last checkup, with his gait remaining “stiff but not worse.”

The report also states that Biden does not smoke any tobacco, drink any alcohol, and continues to exercise five days a week.

Yet, a flimsy made-up report but a Radical doctor cannot hide what everyone knows:

Joe Biden is mentally unwell and physically unfit, and he cannot serve as the President any longer.

The United States has become the laughing stock of the world because we have allowed Biden to remain President even though it is so beyond clear that he should not be.

No amount of fake news and made-up reports can convince the American people or even the world of anything other than this: Joe Biden is not fit to serve.

He needs to be in a retirement home being pushed around in a wheelchair and not serving in the highest office of the most powerful nation in the world.

We cannot allow this to continue any longer, and we must fight back.

The Democrat party is falling apart. And they only have themselves to blame.

And now Joe Biden has a five-alarm fire that he’s desperately trying to put out.

A recent poll conducted by Axios and Generation Lab has exposed the narrative that Democrats are trying to convince us of.

It found that the gap between Biden and Trump among younger voters is rapidly getting smaller and Trump is gaining on Biden.

Though the polling is extremely close, younger American voters aged 18-34 are siding with Biden.

The poll shows that 52% of young voters would vote for Biden if the election was held today, and 48% would vote for Trump.

According to the same poll, the number one majority for many of these young voters was the economy.

Biden has lost an absurd amount of support among a key demographic: young voters.

After the past few years of the Radical Left’s “Bidenmoics,” young voters have apparently had enough.

Joe Biden has once again proven that he does not care about this nation, and all he cares about is destroying the lives of Americans.

Another survey conducted in December by the New York Times/Siena has shown that 49% of unregistered voters in the age range of 18-29 will vote for Trump.

In the same poll, only 43% said they would vote for Joe Biden.

Another key issue that has Americans frustrated is the conflict in Israel.

Almost 50% of voters said that they believed Donald Trump would do a better job of handling the issue than Joe Biden.

And even more so, 72% state that they disapprove of how the situation is being handled so far.

Even though Biden is still slightly favored over Trump by young voters, the young demographic is one that Democrats have relied on for years.

But now, under Biden’s leadership, even those numbers are slipping away to Trump.

The numbers are not lying, and the American people are waking up.

After nearly four years of a horrible economy, crisis at the southern border, and horrific policies in the Middle East, Americans are abandoning Biden.

Joe Biden has done nothing but drive this country further and further into poverty and tragedy.

We cannot sit by idly as the Radical Left takes over.

We must fight back, and we must take back our country from this failed administration.

It is time to show Democrats and the Left who America truly supports.

Stay tuned to Prudent Politics.

The Left is always passing laws and bills that make no sense. But many times they are truly terrible and even dangerous decisions.

And a top Democrat leader has made a disgusting decision that has massively backfired.

Democrat states are constantly making decisions and passing laws that make absolutely no sense at all.

And many times the reasoning for their decisions and policies makes even less sense.

But this most recent incident truly confused everyone.

Recently, Governor Gavin Newsom decided to back an extremely controversial bill that proposed removing four hydro-dams along the Northern border of California.

One major reason for dismantling the dams was that environmentalists claimed it would protect salmon in the Klamath River.

However, since the dams have been breached, this plan has completely failed and backfired.

A report from the California Globe claims that the breach has destroyed spawning salmon beds en masse.

It also claims that pollution from decomposed algae chemicals, silt, and organic deposition is destroying the ecosystem of the river.

On top of that, dead endangered species such as steelhead trout and others have been floating to the surface and the conditions of the river have made it so that baby salmon cannot survive.

Ironically, it was environmental organizations who pressured Newsom into dismantling the dams.

They wanted him to act quickly to “save the salmon” to which Newsom complied.

However, his liberal policies have once again backfired and he has been exposed for the fraud he truly is.

Environmental activists thought they had won when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the dismantling of the dams in November of 2022.

It was supposed to prevent the dying off of massive amounts of salmon by letting the water freely flow downriver.

The free-flowing water was supposed to kill off parasites that were harming young salmon.

Proponents of the dam removal project believed that by restoring hundreds of miles of habitat for salmon, the population would flourish.

Gavin Newsom even personally wrote to Warren Buffet asking him to support the $450 million cause.

But now, just like almost every Democrat policy, the plan has backfired and shown the American people how stupid the Left really is.

This country is being destroyed by Liberal idiots like Newsom who have no clue what they are doing.

We cannot allow it to continue.

The media wants you to think Joe Biden is the prime candidate for the Democrats. However, the truth is very different.

And now Democrats are turning on Joe Biden and it has left the election up in the air.

Democrats have been convincing the media to spread lies for years, it is nothing new.

And this election cycle, they are trying to convince the American people to rally behind Joe Biden.

However, the American people understand the truth, and we are not going to re-elect the man who singlehandedly brought this country down from what it once was.

But it is not just conservatives and Republicans who are opposing Biden… no, it is Democrats too.

Joe Biden’s own party is starting to realize what is going on, and they are abandoning him en masse.

A new poll recently conducted by Rasmussen Reports shows that almost half of all Democrats want the Democrat party to leave out Joe Biden and find another candidate to take on Donald Trump.

The poll found that 48% of Democrat voters would either “somewhat” or “strongly” like the party to “[find] another candidate to replace Joe Biden.”

Across all American voters regardless of party affiliations, 47% believed that it was “somewhat” to “very likely” that the Democrats would switch candidates.

Also in the poll, voters were given options to choose from to replace Joe Biden.

These replacements included Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former First Lady Michelle Obama, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and “none of them.”

The option for “none of them” received the highest amount of votes at 46%, but Michelle Obama was the clear favorite among the other choices.

Obama received 15% of the votes and 20% of Democrats claim that she would be the best replacement of Biden.

Michelle Obama has made it clear that she has no interest in throwing her hat in the ring, but that hasn’t stopped her name from being consistently brought up by Democrats.

One thing is clear: the American people are abandoning Biden so fast that the Radical Left does not know what to do.

Their own supporters are abandoning them for various different reasons, and it looks more and more clear that Biden has absolutely no chance of defeating Trump.

The American people have had enough, and we are demanding a change in leadership.

Biden has been allowed to destroy this country for long enough, but we will not allow it any longer.

We must take to the polls to make our voices heard.
