Former Minnesota daycare fraud investigator says findings angered bosses who restricted his work
A major social study commissioned by VRT, known as the “Photo of Flanders,” reveals that a majority of Flemish people are afraid they are being slowly replaced by migrants, with this study now joining similar ones in France and Germany, which reveal serious fear across Europe about the ongoing Great Replacement.
Since April 14, Morocco has been conducting large-scale deportation operations targeting sub-Saharan Africans migrating to Europe, reportedly arresting over 100 per day, local sources told Middle East Eye.
According to Moroccan human rights groups, around 800 people were detained during coordinated raids in the forests between Fnideq and Belyounech, in the northern tip of the North African state, where many were sheltering before attempting to reach Europe.
Former first son Hunter Biden wildly claimed that Israeli intelligence was behind the Ukraine corruption allegations against him and former President Joe Biden in a new interview with Candace Owens.
The 56-year-old pointed claimed that two Israeli-American citizens, disgraced FBI informant Alexander Smirnov and fugitive Gal Luft, were at the heart of the allegations that resulted in years-long investigations of the first family as part of a nearly two hours interview with Owens.
“They’re the two principal individuals that made the only claim that people hung their hat in — in Congress and elsewhere as it relates to my dad and corruption, bribery,” Biden claimed.
Reining in psychiatric overprescription won’t come from targeting SSRIs alone, but from fixing insurance incentives that replaced therapy with 15-minute med checks.

It is no secret that RFK Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, doesn’t like psychiatrists, and he has had good reason, based upon his personal life experiences. For example, his aunt, Rosemary Kennedy, was treated with a prefrontal lobotomy at age 23 in 1941, a dark chapter in the history of psychiatry that left her institutionalized for life. He credits his own recovery from addiction to abstinence-based 12-step programs, focusing on spiritual principles and peer support, rather than on psychiatrists or medication.
So, it is no surprise that he is drawn to curtailing psychiatrists’ powers. And he has begun to do so, with the recent MAHA Mental Health and Overmedicalization Summit. His first target for his “deprescribing” initiative is SSRI antidepressants. RFK Jr.’s heart is in the right place, but he has no idea of the hornet’s nest he’s walking into because he was not on the front lines of psychiatry for decades, as I have been. The American Psychiatric Association is already fighting back, and a look at the historical context explains why.
To understand this brewing conflict, one has to first look at what happened to psychiatrists to turn them into over-prescribers in the first place. As a psychiatrist often featured in the media, I, too, have taken every opportunity to rail at the current mental health establishment, and psychiatrists in particular, for overprescribing. So, I agree with RFK Jr.’s efforts to change the status quo. However, it is important to first understand the history of how the American mental health establishment became as dysfunctional as it is today.
RFK Jr. will soon realize that taking prescription pads out of the hands of psychiatrists is a lot tougher than taking COVID-19 vaccines out of the hands of Big Pharma. First of all, Big Pharma still has many vaccines, pills, and potions to make money off of, whereas psychiatrists separate themselves from other mental health professionals by the authority to write prescriptions that their MD license confers.
Once upon a time, I was very active in the American Psychiatric Association, including serving on the national Public Affairs Committee, so I remember well how the most urgent concern of the organization was stopping psychologists from getting the ability to prescribe medications. This war went on for years. No sooner had psychiatrists “won” than insurance companies drastically lowered the payments they made for psychiatrists to do 50-minute sessions of psychotherapy. In their never-ending quest to cut costs, it dawned on an insurance CEO one day that they could pay psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and counselors less money to do psychotherapy because they don’t have MD degrees.
This was very short-sighted because the years of medical school and psychiatry residency that psychiatrists complete give them much more intensive training and experience to assess and treat patients than other mental health professionals—not just the ability to prescribe medications. But this cutback on psychiatrists seeing patients for psychotherapy sent them into a tailspin. Suddenly, the bread and butter of their practice, the combination of psychotherapy and medication management (for those who also needed medication), disappeared.
But, instead of protest marches or any other attempt to fight back, psychiatrists surrendered to Big Insurance and figured out a workaround—one that cheated patients just as they, themselves, had been cheated by Big Insurance. A typical psychiatrist, working 8 hours a day seeing patients, at the rate of 50-minute therapy hours, can only see 8 patients a day, and at the lower fee schedule they were now being reimbursed by insurance, they wouldn’t be able to pay their mortgage or any other financial obligations they had. But if they only saw patients for 15-minute “med visits,” they could see four times as many patients and get sufficiently reimbursed by insurance.
However, what I learned as a psychiatric resident and then saw confirmed time and time again throughout my career is that medication alone cures no psychiatric disorder. Most of the psychiatrists who do “med visits” to survive know this as well. Most patients who go to psychiatrists for help today are met with brief visits where they discuss their symptoms, are handed a prescription, and told to return in a month or two or six. They are not given sufficient time to talk about their problems, and certainly no time to talk about their childhood—which is the root of whatever problem they currently have.
When the patient returns, with no improvement in their symptoms or their life, the psychiatrist simply hands them another prescription to add to the list. This is why people are walking around with prescriptions for 3-5 medications and feeling worse. Not only is this because each medication interacts with the others, but also because no one is really listening to their story and offering insight, compassion, and direction. Many of these patients suffer in silence until they either commit a crime or commit suicide. This is the main reason why mental health in America has deteriorated so badly.
But the answer isn’t simply to stop prescribing SSRIs. The answer entails changing the payment system that Big Insurance uses in order to properly subsidize 50-minute sessions of psychotherapy—not just med visits. It also entails better funding of psychiatry residency programs so they aren’t dependent upon Big Pharma. Residencies need to go back to spending more time teaching psychotherapy and supervising residents treating patients with psychotherapy, and less time teaching residents to prescribe the latest drugs that Big Pharma steers them towards.
It will be ever harder to get our head around the challenges of the future—from AI to aliens—and all the medications in the world won’t be enough to help us navigate these new frontiers. But a psychiatrist with a couch and a pad, who cares and knows how to help us put all the pieces of our life together, is still worth their weight in gold.

Getting ready for the midterms means preparing the rhetorical battlefield by leveling leftist lies.
D. Parker | May 22, 2026
The good guys are winning. Plain old facts are obliterating the lies of the left, and the leftists don’t know what to do with themselves.
A recent congressional hearing had Hawaii Democrat Mazie Hirono trotting out the ever tiresome litany of leftist lies on slavery, elections, and racism. Violent leftists usually expect to get away with their big lies because that’s the way it’s been in the past.
But something’s changed in the world, primarily because of the threats from an increasingly violent left and the looming implications of the midterm election season. It’s become clear to the pro-freedom community that we must push back on the perennial lies of the left simply because they have become dangerous.
Violent leftists have often tried to dehumanize their political opponents as collectivist fascists, national socialists, and KKK members. Though these organizations originated on the far left, the left continues to call them “far right.” Senator Hirono presents the familiar claims on slavery, elections, and racism.
Although it’s almost painful to sit through her ramblings on the subject, it’s also amusing to watch her doing this, knowing what is going to happen next:
When she’s through, Ted Cruz asks the witness who implemented all these racist measures. Of course, it was the Democrats.
The icing on the cake is that after this rhetorical beatdown of her facts, Ms. Hirono asks for a point of personal privilege. And then, instead of actually refuting these facts, she complained that she feels personally aggrieved because she’s being “lectured.” You can almost sense their arrogance and anger at no longer getting away with spewing lies.
A Michigan sheriff is demanding answers after a suspect on probation for a violent felony shot and nearly killed a woman during a horrific carjacking earlier this week.
On Tuesday, a woman in her 40s and her young son were at a Panera Bread restaurant in Orion Township, Michigan, about 45 minutes northwest of Detroit. As they were walking to their vehicle, a man suddenly ran toward them, shot the woman in the hip, grabbed her car keys, and sped off in her vehicle.
'We're lucky she's alive.'
A license plate reader got a hit on the stolen vehicle shortly thereafter, claimed Sheriff Mike Bouchard of Oakland County. The suspect soon crashed, attempted to escape on foot, but was ultimately apprehended.
The suspect has been identified as 25-year-old Mauriel Hearn of Ann Arbor, the seat of Washtenaw County. Hearn has been charged with carjacking, assault with intent to murder, fleeing a police officer, resisting a police officer, carrying a concealed weapon, and three counts of felony firearm.
Bouchard claimed that the Hearn is a felon who was convicted of assault with intent to commit great bodily harm in late 2024. Bouchard summarized the brutal assault incident: "The victim was a young woman, and she was duct-taped and hog-tied to a bed by this person and briefly suffocated and threatened with sexual assault."
Bouchard later added that the assailant put a "plastic bag" over the victim's head.

Despite the viciousness of the previous attack, the perpetrator was given no prison time, Bouchard said — just two years of probation. Bouchard expressed frustration that the suspect was "on the street" at all.
The sheriff said that police pushed to charge Hearn with assault with intent to commit murder and unlawful imprisonment, but he was instead convicted of assault with intent to do great bodily harm.
"Some of these prosecutors just have to do their damn job," Bouchard railed.
The Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office, which handled the 2024 assault case, told Blaze News in a statement that it did not give or even offer the offender a reduction of charges and suggested there was little prosecutors could do about the light sentence.
"His sentence of probation was consistent with Michigan's sentencing guidelines — which serve as a guide for courts to determine [what] an appropriate sentence would be in a felony case. In other words, his sentence was likely what he would have received even had he never entered a plea and been found guilty at trial," the office said in a statement.
"Our thoughts are with the victim of the horrific crime in Orion Township. We are grateful to law enforcement for their quick response and expect that the suspect will be held fully accountable."
The carjacking victim is expected to recover, though she "lost a lot of blood," Bouchard said, citing a nurse.
"We're lucky she's alive."
Bouchard noted that law enforcement is looking into working with federal as well as local prosecutors in the carjacking. "Whatever we think we can get the most on this guy, we're going to do. He needs to be behind bars," Bouchard said.
Hearn is expected to be arraigned on Friday in 52-3 District Court in Rochester Hills.
Law enforcement officials have released more details about the horrifying attack on a die-hard Trump supporter in San Diego, California.
Escondido police said they responded to a report of an assault on Buchanan Street on Wednesday at about 2:15 p.m. They found an elderly man brutally beaten outside his home, which is adorned with large U.S. flags and pro-Trump messages.
Police said that there was also a Good Samaritan who was hurt during the altercation.
The victim was identified as 69-year-old Kerry Sheron by the California Post, which spoke to his wife, Maria Moreno. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
She told the Post through tears that there's "no hope" for her husband and he is not expected to survive.
A suspect in the beating fled by foot and was later taken into custody by police.
The suspect was identified as 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler, who was booked on attempted murder. Butler is said to be a resident who lives in the same neighborhood.
Moreno told the Post she believed her husband was targeted because of the pro-Trump display on his home. The post included a harrowing photograph of Sheron in the hospital.
The pro-Trump home had been the target of a lot of negative attention from those angry about its message. Sheron previously had been featured in a news story about vandalism at the home. One critic claimed that the house was violating laws against campaigning near polling sites.
Police said that there was also a Good Samaritan who was hurt during the altercation.
Butler faces life in prison if convicted. He is being held at the Vista Detention Facility in San Diego County and is scheduled to be in court Friday.
Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California, whose district includes Escondido, called for a "full and immediate investigation" into the assault.
Fox News reported that a social media post about the home from 2025 showed a man holding up American flags and making what the poster described as a "Roman salute."
The Taliban government in Afghanistan issued a rule on separation of child brides in marriage, and the United Nations responded by expressing its "grave concern."
Afghanistan's justice ministry issued a decree containing several provisions regarding the lawful separation of a married couple but included an order pertaining to girls that had reached puberty.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
