Deranged trans gunman Jesse Van Rootselaar’s alarming social media footprint paints a portrait of a deeply disturbed young man with a fixation on hallucinogenic drugs and guns — dating back years before he murdered eight people in one of the worst massacres in Canadian history. He was a regular contributor on Reddit, and many of his archived posts viewed by The Post, and first confirmed by the Telegraph, include questions — and disturbing revelations — about his extensive drug use. “Yo what’s the danger in using 5-MeO-DMT alone?” he asked in a November 2023 thread, referring to a potent hallucinogen...

The New York Times recently came clean, saying it was wrong about the effects of legalizing marijuana. The paper had once argued that weed was mostly harmless and not truly addictive, but now admits those old claims don’t hold up today. Back in 2014, an editorial writer claimed marijuana wasn’t addictive like heroin, while also noting that users might still crave it and struggle to quit. The NY Times even admitted that heavy users needed more of the drug over time and some got withdrawal symptoms. This week, the Times’ editorial board finally said, “It is now clear that many...

An Olive Garden cook has died after he dunked his own head into a searing hot deep fryer — as his co-workers frantically tried to thwart his gruesome suicide, authorities said. The employee, who hasn’t been identified, stripped his clothes off and thrust his face into the fryer at the chain’s restaurant in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, last Friday afternoon, the Smoking Gun reported. “A male victim went head first into the fryers,” dispatchers could be heard saying in grim 911 audio.

VIDEOIt's waaaay beyond the merely political. As you can see in this compendium it is MENTAL in many cases. Yes, many/most of the anti-ICE wackos are Commies but they also suffer from SEVERE mental health issues as you can see.

Alex Berenson, author of Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence, pointed out that the New York Times had curiously removed from an article about the Uvalde school shooter a former coworker’s recollection that he complained about his grandmother not letting him smoke weed. The Times didn’t append a correction to the story as it might be expected to do when fixing a factual inaccuracy... Assuming the elided detail was accurate, it would fit a pattern. Mass shooters at Rep. Gabby Giffords’s constituent meeting in Tucson, Ariz. (2011), a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. (2012), the...

This is a developing situation. NASA is considering a rare early return of Crew-11 after canceling a planned ISS spacewalk due to an unspecified medical issue with one astronaut. The crew member is stable, but the EVA — slated for Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke — was scrubbed. That spacewalk would’ve tied a career EVA record for Fincke. NASA says all options are on the table.

Rob Reiner lived his politics, we can say that much about him at least. As more time passes, more comes out about how the Reiner household actually ran … a bit like Portland, Oregon; from what I can tell … except, rich … and with at least one highly successful citizen. The Reiner household had all the much sought-after liberal social programs the blue state governors want most … in a platinum encrusted, limited edition, home version of the game. Universal Basic Income (check): Nick Reiner got $10,000 a month plus expenses. Universal Healthcare (check): Nick got 17 trips to...

Ahh yes, the study the cheeseheads have been looking for! Rejoice! People who regularly ate higher-fat cheese and cream had a lower risk of developing dementia over 25 years, according to a new study. https://t.co/zN2g8XcEua pic.twitter.com/0gyvIcDQ91— ABC News (@ABC) December 18, 2025I didn't even have to be told this. I guess my body's constant desire for fatty cream and whole milk was just a natural desire to fight off dementia. Here's the ABC report: People who regularly ate higher-fat cheese and cream had a lower risk of developing dementia over 25 years, while low-fat dairy and other dairy foods showed...

Cannabis stocks jumped on Friday as the White House prepared to significantly ease federal restrictions on marijuana. President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as Monday that would allow for reclassification of weed, a source familiar with the matter told CNBC. Such a move would allow cannabis companies to fall under different tax regulations and encourage investment.Cannabis stocks took a leg up in Friday’s midday trading following CNBC’s report. The Washington Post first reported on Thursday that Trump was expected to use an executive order to instruct federal agencies to reclassify marijuana as a less...

Jackie Baker, 59, wants to travel to the Dignitas euthanasia clinic after developing motor neurone disease in February. Her daughters Tara O'Reilly and Rose Baker are desperately trying to raise £8,000 so their mother can "die with dignity" in Switzerland.

We were very upset at the beginning but...

The founder of Dignitas, a controversial assisted suicide organization, ended his own life at age 92, the group announced Monday. It’s a tragic irony that underscores the dehumanizing consequences of the deadly practice. Ludwig Minelli, a former journalist and human rights lawyer, died November 29 through what Dignitas described as “voluntary assisted dying,” just days before his 93rd birthday on December 5. The Zurich-based death group, which Minelli established in 1998 to enable people to end their lives “on their own terms,” provided no further details about the circumstances of his death. Dignitas, one of Switzerland’s most prominent suicide killers,...

The state’s core program to close its psychiatric hospitals and shift care to less-restrictive community programs — the centerpiece of its legal obligation to people with severe mental illness — has instead been used for the past decade to do the opposite, a Spotlight PA investigation has found. Created more than 30 years ago, the Community Hospital Integration Project Program, or CHIPP, was designed to get people and dollars out of restrictive and expensive state-run psychiatric hospitals and into more effective, community-based care. The money saved by closing hospital beds would be sent to counties. Former state officials told Spotlight...

A somber Veterans Day ceremony outside the historic courthouse in downtown Howell Tuesday morning, where several local dignitaries reminded the public to never forget, and never leave a fellow solider behind. One of the biggest challenges facing local veteran groups is the rising number of veteran suicides, along with post traumatic stress syndrome. "We, after service, can feel isolated and removed from those that we've been so close with. That's why, as an American Legion Post here in Howell, one of our missions is to be there for each other, to invite veterans in, as well as their families, to...

The transgender live-in boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin appears to have fled their cozy Utah townhouse, leaving mail piling up outside — as he faces mounting criticism for not turning the accused killer in after he confessed to the hateful slaying in a string of text messages. Lance Twiggs, 22, who has reportedly been cooperating with authorities since his partner, Tyler Robinson, 22, allegedly shot the Turning Point USA founder dead during a speaking event on Sept. 10, has disappeared, neighbors in St. George, Utah, told The Post Tuesday. Mail was spotted piling up outside the $1,800-per-month townhouse the...

"You currently have one side willing to talk and extend a microphone to anyone, and one side that shoots to kill when they do." —Aimee Terese on X. When Brian De Palma’s movie, Dressed to Kill, came out in 1980, this was a different country. Like Hitchcock’s Psycho before it (1960), both films depicted men seeking to become women who are murderously deranged by their wishful fantasies. Now, our country has become murderously deranged by the same fantasy writ large. These derangements are acted out now by a segment of the population that calls itself “the trans community.” This is...

A newly unsealed federal complaint accuses a Downers Grove man of threatening to kill federal immigration officers and other public officials while stockpiling a small arsenal of weapons and ammunition marked with the names of political figures. .. The FBI says Stover used Bluesky and Facebook accounts to repeatedly post violent rhetoric from February through July 2025, including explicit calls to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents “on sight.”

The new internal memos from the Biden White House are the first glimpse into the Trump administration’s probe into the former president’s mental decline and the abundant use of his autopen signature. Internal memos obtained by Just the News show President Joe Biden’s aides believed at the beginning of his administration that he had an obligation to personally sign official presidential actions, including pardons, and chronicle how the former president later outsourced clemency decisions to then-Vice President Kamala Harris. The memos were gathered as part of a sweeping review by the Trump White House into Biden's use of autopen signatures...

Nine former CDC directors accuse RFK Jr. of undermining public health. They allege Kennedy disregarded proven treatments, focused on unconventional ones and hampered vaccination support. Two Republican senators sharply disagreed over the recommendation towards a hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. In a harsh rebuke of public health policies enacted by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nine former directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accuse him of putting America’s health at risk. Former directors and acting directors of the CDC under both Republican and Democratic administrations outlined their complaints in a guest essay in...

News that Minneapolis monster Robin Westman worked at a pot shop until just two weeks ago should give pause to those in the White House reportedly pushing President Donald Trump to take a landmark step toward federal approval of marijuana use. Westman, 23, was apparently fired from Rise, an area cannabis dispensary, on Aug. 16 over chronic tardiness and absenteeism. If you know anything at all about the culture of this biz, that tells you the odds are awfully good that he was using, too. And medical research in recent years keeps producing fresh evidence strongly suggesting that heavy marijuana...
