Nick Sortor @nicksortor 🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Ohio mental hospital CONFIRMS James Talarico was discharged from the facility earlier this week The “flu” thing was a BIG FAT LIE Following reporting by @SaraGonzalesTX and @CarolineWren , a hospital employee told @RheinAmacher and I that Talarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of Hope near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around-the-clock mental health treatment. While I sympathize with those dealing with mental health crises, this man is CLEARLY not suited to become a US Senator representing over 30 MILLION TEXANS. The job doesn’t get easier after being elected...

James Talarico is in one of the most competitive Senate races this cycle, and he disappeared from the campaign trail for almost two weeks. He supposedly reappeared this weekend to poke at Republican Texas AG Ken Paxton over debates, and his team showed him attending a Kacey Musgraves concert. Talarico is once again being hailed as the Democrats’ best hope to win statewide in the Lone Star State, but his absence drew attention, especially since it looked like he checked into a mental health clinic. That’s not what his campaign said; it said he was sidelined with the flu. This...

James Talarico speaks for the first time since disappearing from the campaign trail for two weeks and denies reports that he had a mental health episode

Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico pledged in writing to support the Equality Act. But as Republicans hammer his past statements supporting transgender youth, his campaign appears to be working on its message around whether he still supports it. … "If elected, James will review every bill he's asked to vote on and do what's best for the people of Texas," campaign spokesperson JT Ennis told The Washington Post.

James Talarico, the Texas Democratic nominee for Senate, on Sunday dismissed GOP conspiracy theories about his flu-induced absence from the campaign trail and sought to turn the tables. “I had the flu,” he said in an exclusive interview with MS NOW. “This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s wild that someone can just post something on the internet and then the media just runs with it.” He dismissed the brouhaha as “silly season in our politics” and issued a fresh challenge to his GOP rival, Ken Paxton, who spent the better part of 10 days fueling wild speculation...

Democrat James Talarico held a narrow lead over Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in a new Trafalgar poll of the Texas Senate race, following his first public appearance in more than a week as the flu kept him off the campaign trail. Talarico, a state legislator, was up by more than 3 points in the poll of 1,086 likely voters in Texas, which was conducted from October 6 to 8. Talarico’s support stood at 47.1 percent, while 43.6 percent of respondents said they would vote for Paxton. Libertarian Ted Brown received 1.8 percent support, while 7.6 percent were undecided in...

Jamie Lee Curtis revealed that her younger child is transgender. The “Freaky Friday” star told AARP Magazine that she and husband Christopher Guest “have watched in wonder and pride as our son became our daughter Ruby.” Curtis also shared that Ruby — who was previously known as Thomas — and her fiancé are getting married next year in a wedding that the star will officiate. Ruby, 25, works as a computer gaming editor while Curtis and Guest’s 34-year-old daughter, Annie, is married and works as a dance instructor. The longtime Hollywood couple have no grandchildren “but I do hope to,”...

Controversial Irish singer Sinead O'Connor faced a huge backlash on social media after publically declaring that she sees white people as "disgusting."

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV-TR) is the diagnostic manual used by mental health professionals. A diagnosis of narcissism requires five out of nine characteristics. Note these traits must endure overtime and must not be reactions to a particular situation or environmental stressor: Grandiose sense of self-importance. Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, beauty, or ideal love. Sense of specialness, belief he can only be understood by or should associate only with other special or high-status individuals or institutions. Need for excessive admiration. Heightened sense of entitlement, leading to unreasonable expectations that others should treat...

FOX News: "Robert Gibbs said ‘well, he was actually watching, you know, the HBO special about his year-long campaign and how it all went.'"

And David Plouffe said Obama considered this guy for Vice President

The head of Eastern State Hospital resigned today in the wake of last week’s Spokane Interstate Fair escape by a criminally insane patient who had been committed in the brutal killing a woman in 1987 in Sunnyside. Phillip A. Paul, 47, walked away from the fair and stayed on the run for three days before being recaptured in a remote wooded area Sunday near Goldendale, Wash. Eastern CEO Hal Wilson announced his resignation on Wednesday, according to officials in the state Department of Social and Health Services, the state agency that oversees mental health services. Wilson has contended the mental...

Just when you think you’ve figured out what Hillary Clinton is all about, she makes a complete 180-degree turn and throws you off your game. So I started to wonder: is Hillary schizophrenic? There is little doubt in my mind that she suffers from Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD) or maybe even Sociopathy, given her long history of gaining at the expense of those who have faithfully served her. Those who would take issue with my diagnosis may do so, as I do not purport to be a psychiatrist. But I do have access to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of...

A New York mental health patient whose plan to move to Hawaii sparked a major controversy here has changed his mind. His decision resolves a confusing situation that distressed mental health officials both in Hawaii and New York. Officials here were upset by initial information that Federation Employment Guidance Service, a large private health and human services organization, was paying for the man's trip and asking a local agency to pick him up and take him to the Institute for Human Services, a homeless shelter. But Al Miller, chief executive of FEGS, said the man is a voluntary patient who...

Since I am approaching my one year anniversary of being a "freeper" and since I have never contributed a dime to FR, jim or the republican party, I am going to beat the powers to be at FR and voluntarily leave, rather than have them come up with one of the cock and bull stories to ban me. Been fun,Bye
