How Did It Become a Federal Matter?

In July, the state board passed a resolution to request assistance from the U.S. Justice Department “to effect compliance with voting transparency” from Fulton County.

On Oct. 30, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections demanding “all records in your possession responsive to the recent subpoena issued to your office by the State Election Board.”

In November, the Fulton County board responded, “The physical ballots, stubs, and absentee ballot envelopes for the 2020 general election remain in the Fulton County Superior Court Clerk’s possession and under seal” in accordance with state law.

In December, the Justice Department filed a civil rights complaint in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

Days later, Georgia Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney cleared the way for the state board to obtain documents related to the 2020 election.

On Jan. 28, the FBI—acting on a court-authorized search warrant—removed material from the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Union City, Georgia, near Atlanta.

That good m**h

Over the weekend, in a long thoughtful feature on ADHD, the New York Times tackled the question of whether we should be prescribing 23% of adolescent male Americans with amphetamines.

The downsides: they triple your likelihood of developing mania, permanently stunt your growth, often conclude in daily depressive crashes, and don’t really work after 14 months.

The upside: they help you sit still in class and finish various tasks like a lab rat.

There’s no known biological basis for ADHD because inability to care about school is not an actual disease, no matter what a bunch of drug dealers with doctorates tell a young boy’s worried parents.

One of the classic symptoms is the ability to focus, but only on what you find interesting.

That isn’t a pathology, that’s a personality, and Adderall isn’t medicine. It’s a drug we use to turn young, thoughtful men into robots.

Put down the “good m**h,” and go outside.
