Transgender actress Karla Sofía Gascón reflected on her own mental health struggles after controversial tweets resurfaced during the peak of awards season. Gascón, the first openly trans actor to be nominated for an Academy Award, faced an onslaught of backlash after old social media posts about George Floyd and Islam came to light. While the "Emilia Pérez" actress repeatedly apologized for the tweets and ditched X at the time, she was mostly phased out of Netflix's Oscar campaign, only to appear once again in public to attend the Academy Awards as a nominee.

Who are those people, I wondered Tuesday night, as I watched the Democrats sit on their hands when brain cancer victim 13-year-old Devarjaye “D.J.” Daniel was recognized as an honorary Secret Service agent? But that was only one moment in a litany of similar nauseating reactions, or lack thereof, during President Trump’s first address to Congress for his second term. And that’s not counting Al Green’s sad acting out that resulted in his ejection. Mr. Green needs help but is unlikely to get it. I had to shake myself to remember I was once a Democrat in what seems like...

A new Pentagon memo — dated Wednesday — ordered the removal of all gender dysphoric and self-described transgender servicemembers from the United States military. The document, entitled “Additional Guidance on Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness,” said that the “medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria are incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service.” The new Defense Department policy described in the memo said that those who “have a current diagnosis of” or exhibit “symptoms consistent with” gender dysphoria are...

The Seattle homeless population is the tragic result of failed policies. But it’s not just a problem — it’s a manufactured disaster, enabled and exacerbated by left-wing policies that have done nothing but invite more homelessness while refusing to address its root causes. A new study from the Discovery Institute’s Fix Homelessness explains how dire the situation truly is in Seattle. The study lays out in devastating detail how Seattle’s approach has not only failed but made everything worse. The city’s leaders, obsessed with progressive ideology over practical solutions, have created a system that draws homeless individuals from outside the...

Says it “turns off” women. You can’t make this up.

It’s well substantiated that liberals tend to suffer madness and depression more than conservatives. Unfortunately, psychotherapies for depression are not always effective. Perhaps a complicating factor is that the afflicted often try to explain away their disease by insisting they care more about social problems, especially perceived inequality. Then why did the mental health issues become even more exacerbated during the first Trump (45th) presidency? Even research from leftist academia concedes that wealth inequality in the U.S. decreased during Trump’s first term — for the first time in three decades. Under Trump, lower-income Americans were particularly sanguine about economic expansion,...

Leftism is a death cult. Abortion. Sterilization and mutilation of children. Euthanasia. Sterilizing yourself over politics. 😂 @lpohutsky19 oh boy.. pic.twitter.com/LHJj4ORINt— Al-droner (@alden_olms) February 6, 2025Back in the bad old days it was the fascists and communists who forced sterilization on women for eugenic reasons. Now, leftie women and men are protesting Donald Trump, whom they claim is a fascist, because they refuse to bring children into a world where he exists. No doubt Elon Musk's pronatalism plays a role, too. If Elon wants more kids, then they refuse to have them. Take that, Elon!Michigan state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky sterilized...
