I find myself increasingly persuaded that liberalism, as it currently exists in modern-day America, has its roots in mental illness.
I’ve recently arrived at that conclusion independently, but the more I research this, the more evidence for it comes to light.
A couple of years ago the Washington Times reported that…
White liberals are more prone to mental health disorders than
individuals who identify as conservative or moderates, according to a
Pew Research Center survey.Sixty-two percent of Whites who classify
themselves as “very liberal” or “liberal” have been told by a doctor
they have a mental health condition, as compared to 26% of conservatives
and 20% of moderates, the study found.Young White people who identified as “very
liberal” were almost one and a half times more likely to report mental
health problems than those who considered themselves “liberal.”
The prestigious magazine Psychology Today confirms this:
Previous research in political psychology has suggested that people with conservative political attitudes tend to have better physical health than their liberal counterparts (Chan, 2019) (which I discussed in more detail in a previous post).
A more recent study (Kirkegaard, 2020) found that political ideology
may also be relevant to mental health, as people who are more liberal,
especially those identifying as “extremely liberal,” are more likely to
have mental health problems.
That mental illness is continuously fed by outlets such as MSNBC in the form of hysterical, paranoic, and vitriolic nonsense. As an example:
Increasingly we are seeing violence being perpetrated on people the left doesn’t like for whatever reason. Been watching them acting for the last several years, and I’m beginning to believe very seriously that they don’t really have any reasons, which is why they are impervious to reason.
Here’s an example of such calls to violence that just popped up in my feed this morning.
As disturbing as that is, the reality is even more disturbing than that. In that direction lies the blood-soaked politics of people like Luigi Mangione for example. (And by extension, Taylor Lorenz.)
How many times are we going to watch as leftist ideology drives these mental midgets into attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for example? On the other hand how many assassination attempts did you see against Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden?
Sorry but no matter how you slice this, violence is increasingly the Hallmark, and the exclusive realm of the Democrat party.
Notice, please, that it’s nearly invariably the mentally disturbed making these attempts. It’s interesting to note that the leftist Media tries to capitalize on this by putting their own spin on it. As an example, I quoted Larry Correia over this most recent weekend:
Let’s take a moment to consider the difficult time the US news media has faced this week.
First, a white racist wannabe nazi murders his parents to fund his
assassination plot… Which they would normally love to cover… except it turns out he was planning to assassinate Trump, and the media can’t have Trump look sympathetic or unliked by nazis, so that story got dropped.Then, an unknown arsonist torched the governor’s mansion inhabited by a
Jewish democrat… So they got all excited hoping they’d finally gotten themselves a MAGA psycho… except it turns out the arsonist was a socialist BLM/Antifa/Free Palestine dude, so they had to promptly drop that story too.Don’t worry, American news media. I’m sure eventually a MAGA dude will do something horrible that you can flog with news coverage 24/7 for weeks on end. In the meantime you’ll just have to keep making crap up.
Obviously, examples of the psychologically challenged on the right, particularly those prone to violence, would seem to be in short supply at the very least, if they need to be fabricated to support the left’s case.
The first step towards solving any problem is proper problem identification. The problem we are facing at this point is a mental health crisis.

You know he’s right.
# All we really want is the same deportation policy that Martha’s vineyard has.
# Tomorrow’s headline: Elon Musk cures cancer. Democrats outraged, claiming the curing cancer is racist.
# I observe that the judges who didn’t seem to care about who we let into the country illegally, take an intense interest in keeping illegals from being deported. Particularly, violent criminals.
# It is probably time to let DOGE investigate any money Barack Obama has received from foreign governments.
#
# If Donald Trump said oxygen was good for you, Democrats and never Trumpers all over the country would stop breathing. I’d call that a win-win.
-The photos of them together are from before 2003.
-In 2004 Trump not only barred Epstein from Mar-a-lago estate, he also placed a bid on property (and won) in Palm Beach that Epstein was looking to purchase, out of spite.
-In 2005 Trump revealed Epstein secrets to PBSCO investigation.
-In 2006, two of Epstein’s victims confirmed they knew Trump had barred Epstein from his estate in mar-a-lago.
-In 2009 Bradley Edwards (Prosecutor on the Epstein case) made a public statement that Trump was the only individual who aided in the prosecutions against Epstein.
-Per victim testimonies on the newly released Epstein/Maxwell documents reveal that Trump was not seen on Epstein’s island or anywhere with Epstein.
This is where it gets fun…
-The newly released documents show that the FBI withheld victim evidence in 2009 and in 2014.
-Who was the President in 2009 and 2014?-Obama.
-Who was the FBI director in 2009?-Mueller
-Who was the FBI director in 2014?-Comey
-Who led the Russia Collusion Hoax against Trump?-Mueller and Comey.
-Who was Muellers key witness during the Russian Collusion?-George Nadler
-Who was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison for Pedophilia/Dozens of imagines and footage of children being sexually abused?-George Nadler
-Who was the Secretary of State under Obama?-Clinton
-Who did Epstein victims list on the pedo island?-Clinton
-Who funded the Russian Dossier?-Clinton
-Who fired Comey in 2017?-Trump
-Who praised Weinstein for being a great human being in 2013?-Obama
-Who was Obama’s VP?-Biden
-Who was running for President against Trump?-Biden
-Who received campaign donations from Epstein’s law firm?-Kamala
-Who was Biden’s VP?-Kamala
Dems protect the predators. That is so sad.
Research and educate yourself because if you don’t wake up now, the victims of Epstein will never see justice for what they have endured.
Do some research, watch #FallOfTheCabal

Especially after these last couple of weeks with the Canadians going into full meltdown with many Canadians trying desperately to defend the Canadian liberal party, and blaming Donald Trump for his completely proper reaction to the way the Canadians have been treating us.
Actually, I have a good deal of sympathy for most Canadians after watching the shenanigans of their federal government both internally and externally. Pierre Poilievre seems the source of Hope for Canadians suffering under the government they have now.
I truly hope they manage to get their act together. But I suggest there’s only one way for them to do that. I won’t bother saying what that is, because it’s my read they already know.
Meanwhile, we should perhaps look back to the early ’70s when there was at least one Canadian, who happened to be a broadcaster, who looked at what was happening and stood up for what was right.
The response to his editorial back then was nothing short of Earth shaking, both in Canada and here in the ‘states. There was even a hit record, a reading of the text of this editorial, which sold like hotcakes at the time on both sides of the border.
As it happens, I was home from school that day with a rather bad cold, and my portable radio kept me company. A nice June day, and looking forward to summer vacation only a few weeks away, and I come down with a cold. Figures.
One of my favorite activities has always been picking up out of town stations on the AM radio. Toronto radio stations are well within earshot of my hometown of Rochester being directly across the lake. I happened to pan across 50,000 Watt CFRB as Gordon Sinclair was delivering this piece. I had heard him delivering editorials before, but I couldn’t recall hearing him quite so angry as he was that day.
Canadians, and frankly a lot of Americans as well would do quite well to listen closely to what he has to say.
Places where socialism has failed in getting to the stated goal, pretty much an alphabetical order;
Angola, Algeria, Albania, Aragon, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Austria, Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Belarus, Catalina, Cape Verde, Cuba, Cambodia, China, Chile, Congo, Czechoslovakia, Djibouti, Egypt, Estonia, Etreria, Ethiopia, Grenada Gambia, Ghana, Georgia, East Germany, Hungary, India, Iraq, North Korea, Kampuchea, Libya, Latvia, Lithuania, Marquetalia, Mozambique, Mongolia, Mali, Mahabad, Myanmar, Madagascar, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Poland, Romania, Russia, Syria, Slovenia, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leon, Tunisia, Tuva, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Venezuela, Yemen Yugoslavia, Zambia, Zanzibar and Zimbabwe.
But don’t worry that wasn’t real socialism and we know what we’re doing. Though we can’t agree on what socialism is exactly, let alone clearly define it. Coupled with the fact that we get everything not just wrong but catastrophically wrong, shouldn’t stop you from surrendering your rights & liberties to an overreaching unaccountable all powerful central government for the common good.
But you can trust us, because we Leftists are morally & intellectually superior. Though it’s very difficult to tell, but we are. We’re better than you evil Nazis & even this we get wrong. Because Nazi is an acronym in German for the National Socialist German Workers Party formerly known as the German Labor Party a variation of the Marxist ideology. And words are violence and silence is violence and actual violence is mostly peaceful. I can not tell the difference between a man and a women. There just isn’t any biological markers to make any kind of distinction.
Glad to see I’m not alone in seeing this..
* If the j6 protesters were actual felons why did Joe Biden feel he needed to pardon the j6 committee?
# The problem with satire anymore is it’s getting harder to identify as such.
# So the Party of “Eat The Rich” is now concerned about the Dow Jones Average? Sure they are. And I suppose that we are to believe that they didn’t notice this;
# Back in 2022 when Joe Biden was running things (well, okay, he wasn’t running things but that’s another story) the markets dropped on the order of 25% of their value. But when the markets drop 9% for one day, everybody loses their minds.
# Have you ever noticed that the primary ingredient in any solution the left comes up with for any given problem is somebody else’s money?
# Look, all we really want is the same deportation policy that Martha’s Vineyard has.
Is NATO prepared to fight against Europe’s enemies, or merely wage the moral equivalent of war against global warming? I know which way I’m betting; as Richard Fernadez tweets,
“The European desire to defend against Russia is hampered by its
conviction that building up the military is a climate crime. Cognitive
dissonance is the mental discomfort or tension that arises when someone
holds conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. Classic symptoms of
cognitive dissonance are: Anxiety, guilt, shame, or regret Feeling
paralyzed in decision-making Difficulty recognizing the person you’ve
become and feeling a lost sense of self ‘Trump! Why did you do this to
me?’”That’s been the left’s constant cri de coeur during the last decade.
A bit longer than that, I’m afraid. Like, since the second world war.
Trump is merely the most recent target for that same old argument. The argument is getting louder recently, because Trump, unlike his predecessors, is actually holding them to spending their money, not ours to fulfill that promise self defense… That promise being the starting point to NATO membership.
Honestly I can’t say I’m surprised by this.
So there was a market correction, followed by another correction the following day and suddenly we’re not hearing anything from the keyboard warriors who despite being unable to pay for their college loans, now consider themselves to be financial experts.
Ladies and gentlemen this has got to be the shortest “recession” in American history
