FDA’s Continuing Arrogance and Indifference to the Opioid Epidemic as Death Toll Rages!
In my seventeen (17) years of communicating with the FDA regarding the approval of opioids by their agency and the resulting epidemic, this is the first time that I did not receive a reply from them. Concerning? You bet it is.

(MYRTLE BEACH) The FDA has announced a meeting of the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee for October 12. I am extremely interested in this meeting where a very dangerous opioid named Sufentanil will be discussed by the Advisory Committee and I plan to attend.
Proud Boys: Trump’s Misogynistic, Anti-American Gang Bangers
Sad men who beat up girls while exploiting white privilege, proud of what?

Angry, mostly white protesters flooded the area around the Oregon state capital Saturday for an anti-immigration protest. Many are from a gang called “Proud Boys”. Before it was over, one person opposing the group’s Trump inspired hate tactics; a man standing alone in opposition to the rally, was physically contacted by a Proud Boys member. The anti-fascist ejected the proud boy from his space, then others brought me to the ground, and stomped my hands as I tried to recover the lone opposition activist’s camera. Oregon State Police and Salem officers separated everyone in the scuffle and restored calm.
Boston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

Bringing harmony and balance for a brighter future. An amazing institution!
I have attached two videos that were created by my young warrior friend, Jamal. I have watched him grow in the Boston Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy and I want to be among the first to say that he is growing up to be a fine young man. He has told me on many occasions how good it feels to be a part of such an amazing institution. The other day I asked Jamal to send me a photo of himself for this promo publication and he said, “no, Tim, this one is for the academy and it’s affiliates. ” I think that says it all as to what they are producing there.
I would like to thank Professors Roberto Mia and Jimmy DelOrfano for their dedication and for giving the young an opportunity to work together for a healthier and more responsible future.
Maryland Attorney General AG Frosh takes legal action against Insys Therapeutics, maker of Subsys (Fentanyl)
Recently the Attorney General’s office in Maryland brought legal charges against the pharmaceutical company, Insys maker of the killer opioid, Subsys (Fentanyl) for endangering the lives of consumers in off-label marketing their billion dollar drug. These charges lend themselves to ask — why did the maker of OxyContin, Purdue Pharma unleash an epidemic of death and addiction throughout the country for almost two decades with virtually no concern or charges by any Attorney General as the body bag count mounted and we continue to lose a generation of our children? Why did no federal agency consider charging Purdue Pharma under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) in 2007 when they were charged in Federal Court in Virginia with criminally marketing OxyContin — pleaded guilty — and are convicted felons?

(MYRTLE BEACH) “RICO” is often thought of as a law designed to combat the Mafia. While that is how the law was first primarily used and intended, it has been applied in cases involving organizations that few people would mistake for the Mafia, including Major League Baseball, the Key West Police Department and the Catholic Church. RICO creates criminal and civil penalties for members of organizations that engage in patterns of criminal activity. Why wasn’t Purdue Pharma charged under RICO?
