On the recordFebruary 8, 2022
Mr. Speaker, I was just listening to Congressman LaMalfa from California, and I couldn't agree with him more. Here we are, in the United States, where crime is skyrocketing. Fentanyl is crossing the border in record amounts and is the number one cause of death for ages 18 through 45. Here, today, I see this headline. I just googled it and came up with this one from blackenterprise.com. The headline says: ``Biden administration to fund the distribution of crack pipes and syringes to promote `racial equity.' '' ``On Monday, applications closed for the Biden administration's new $30 million grant program to provide crack pipes and `smoking kits' to promote `racial equity.' '' Are you kidding me? Our crime is rising, and this is what the Biden administration thinks is the priority? It is nuts. ____________________
