UNEARTHED INTERVIEW Reveals Wisconsin’s Dem-Socialist “Abolish ICE and Prisons” Frontrunner for Governor Admits to Being Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder, Cutting Herself On Purpose, Spent Time in Psychiatric Hospital

In a 2023 interview with Meal Magazine, Wisconsin progressive Democrat Francesca Hong — the current frontrunner in the Democratic primary for governor of the critical battleground state — openly detailed a severe mental health crisis she had in high school. Hong said she suffered a mental breakdown that landed her in a psychiatric hospital for a week. She described intense numbness and emotional pain that led her to self-harm by cutting. Hong further stated she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, was prescribed SSRIs, and overdosed on lithium. In typical liberal fashion, Hong tried to paint herself as a victim in the interview, blaming the crisis on feeling like an outsider as the daughter of Korean immigrants. Peter Bernegger was first to sound the alarm on X.

Hong, a self-described Democratic Socialist and DSA-endorsed candidate, has surged to the top of recent polls in Wisconsin’s crowded 2026 Democratic primary for governor. Wisconsin is a key swing state that has delivered razor-close elections and has shown strong support for Republican candidates in recent cycles. Despite her current efforts to soft-pedal her record while attempting to court working-class and even Trump voters, her past positions and legislative record paint a very different picture.

Old posts from Hong show her repeatedly calling to “Defund the police,” declaring “I support defunding the police as a first step towards abolishing the police,” and stating “Police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish. Reform can’t be an option.” She also pushed to “Abolish ICE,” demanded “ICE out of Wisconsin” and “ICE out of the streets,” and even called to “Abolish the Senate.”

Transgender Maine Democrat Senate Candidate Claims He Has Monthly Period Through His Rectum

A transgender activist running to replace scandal-plagued Graham Platner once reportedly claimed in a Reddit post that he has a monthly period and that the blood comes through his rectum.

Ashley Webb is one of several Democrat candidates in Maine running to replace Platner, the latter of whom formally suspended his campaign after a rape allegation surfaced. Webb believes the trans community has been dehumanized, contending that he just wants to “use the bathroom.”

“If they want me to use the men’s room, I will but I don’t want to be assaulted,” he said during a recent debate.

However, Reddit posts reveal the extent of Webb’s gender dysphoria. Reportedly writing under the username sparky603, Webb initially announced his run for Senate last week.

“I’m a trans and intersex woman from Farmington, and I’m running the whole campaign myself — candidate and treasurer both, no big donors, no machine behind me,” he appeared to write, asking for signatures from registered Democrats across the state and admitting he is a “long shot in a crowded field.” A similar message was posted on a campaign website.

He appears to have spent a lot of time trying to explain his self-described transgender intersex condition on Reddit forums, explaining that his karyotype is XY, which means that biologically he is a man. However, Webb states he has external male parts but said he is “pretty positive I am the XX type, accept [sic] I got internal organs, unless what I am feeling are tumors that just happen to grow where those sorts of organs are usually.”

He claims to ovulate and get monthly periods despite no evidence of female organs, asserting that his bleeding comes through his anus.

“My testosterone is at 429ng/dl and estrogen is at 285 pg/ml,” he said in one of the forums. “The estrogen is not effecting my male parts. Male parts are normal size. I grew breasts and wider hips during puberty.”

Responding to someone questioning his assertions, Webb claimed he experiences monthly period pain, feeling “some thing [sic] in my right side about where my appendix is located and something above the bladder.”

“When the monthly pain is real bad, I am feeling something in both my right and left side and above my bladder,” he said before revealing where this “period” comes out due to his lack of a “proper hole”:

When you don’t have the proper hole, it finds one of two exits, the guy in China was lucky and the exit was his bladder, me on the other was not so lucky. My exit connection was made with my colon. Cause when I get this monthly pain, that is where the blood comes out of.

Intersex like us don’t get diagnosed till our 20’s as we tend not to be born with extra holes. I didn’t get diagnosed in my 20’s cause I was dealing with incompetent doctors who preferred to prescribe opiate pain killers rather than find the problem.

He said he does not like to talk about the monthly rectal bleeding because doctors have him get colonoscopies, which find nothing. He also said CAT scans cannot locate a uterus or ovaries “when they enter your gender as a male.”

Former Marine and Florida Congressional Candidate Declares Trump Is the “Anti-Christ” and “False Messiah,” Says He Must Be “KILLED” in Unhinged Video Rant — Marine Corps Responds

A former U.S. Marine who is now running as a write-in candidate for Congress in Florida is facing widespread condemnation after posting a lengthy video in which he declared that President Donald Trump “must be killed” while describing the commander-in-chief as the “anti-Christ.”

The disturbing remarks prompted an unusually swift public response from the U.S. Marine Corps, which made clear that William Upham’s rhetoric does not reflect the values of the Corps or the oath he once took.

William Upham posted a deeply disturbing six-minute video to his X account. As of the time of writing, the video remained available on his account.

Wearing his military uniform, the medically discharged former Marine First Lieutenant leveled the ultimate threat against the leader of the America First movement, declaring that President Trump “must be killed”.

He claimed he reached a “turning point” in his campaign after realizing “our country is broken” and that “we are led by a president who’s the enemy of God.”

Upham tied his hatred to President Trump’s recent criticism of Pope Leo XIV and an AI-generated image Trump posted depicting himself in a Jesus-like pose. “He is nothing like Jesus Christ,” Upham said.

The former Marine tried to cloak his call for assassination in religious language, claiming “we are at war with evil” and that “this is a war between God and the Antichrist.”

UNHINGED VIDEO: Transgender Former Prostitute Running for Mayor in Canada Uses Sock Puppet During Campaign Speech

A transgender biological male former prostitute is running for mayor of Hamilton, Ontario, and if that wasn’t crazy enough, recent campaign footage shows him giving his speeches using a sock puppet with googly eyes.

“Scarlett Gillespie,” who previously went by the name “Jelena Vermilion,” currently serves as the executive director of the Sex Workers’ Action Program (SWAP) Hamilton and has long advocated for sex workers’ rights, housing issues, and trans-related causes.

Gillespie received the YWCA Hamilton Women of Distinction Award in 2024 for his work.

He announced his candidacy for mayor earlier this year and is registered for the municipal election scheduled for October 26.

Gillespie’s campaign platform focuses on affordable housing, tenant protections, climate justice, greater transparency at City Hall, community-led safety initiatives, and strengthening the local arts sector, according to his website.

The candidate has described himself as a “community organizer” and “activist with lived experience” working directly with “marginalized groups.”

A New Study Just Confirmed the Left’s Worst-Kept Secret

If you’ve spent any time arguing with liberals online, you already know this. Now there’s a study to prove it.

Decades of research have shown that political conservatives report better mental health and greater happiness than their counterparts on the left. A new study published in the journal Political Behavior takes that finding a step further, finding that “mental illness is emerging as its own political identity and is most heavily aligned with leftist political ideology and causes,” and that it clusters heavily among younger, far-left Americans.

Shocking, I know.

Columbia University’s magazine noted back in 2023 that “American adults who identify as politically liberal have long reported lower levels of happiness and psychological well-being than conservatives.” However, researchers spent years scratching their heads over why. Scholars from the Universities of Florida and Toronto eventually took a crack at it, drawing on four separate studies. Their conclusion? Conservatives tend to have greater personal agency, religiosity, moral clarity, a positive outlook, and stronger self-worth… which are traits consistently linked to resilience and mental health. In other words, having a sense of purpose and taking responsibility for your life is good for you. Who knew?

Professor Lauren Van De Hey of Utah State University has conducted research that connects the mental health gap directly to political identity formation. Her findings were drawn from the 2022 Cooperative Election Study, a large, nationally representative survey administered by YouGov.

“I further find that there is an emerging mental health political identity that is most pronounced among younger (Gen Z) and more liberal Americans,” Van De Hey said.

Roughly half of the study participants who identified as having a mental illness said that identity was very important or somewhat important to them personally. Yeah, that’s a voting bloc in the making.

Van De Hey also found that mental health identity operates differently in politics than physical disability or serious physical illness. “I find that the political predictors and political consequences for the emerging mental health identity differ from those for physical disability and serious physical illness categorization and identification,” she said. The implication is clear: mental health struggles, increasingly worn as badges of identity, carry huge political weight.

SHOCKING VIDEO: Black Woman in Florida Films Herself Punching Random White Man While Ranting That He Was on the Karmelo Anthony Jury, Second Attack in New Trend of Racially Motivated Assaults?

A disturbing video has gone viral showing a black female in Florida approaching a seated white man, accusing him of serving on the jury that convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder, then punching him in the face.

This is the second viral video in as many days of a white person being attacked and falsely accused of being on the Anthony jury.

The victim was not, and could not have been, on the jury. The murder trial took place in Collin County, Texas, not Florida.

The video was uploaded to Facebook by a woman named Mesha Keaton, of Tampa, who appears to be the attacker.

In the footage, Keaton approaches the man, who is sitting outdoors, and demands: “Hey, hey, weren’t you on the motherfucking jury selection?”

When he denies it, she insists, “Yes, you was,” before physically assaulting him.

She continues ranting during the attack.

The Business Of Homelessness

Several months ago, I wrote an opinion piece questioning Miami Beach’s homelessness policies, the City’s compliance with state law, the effectiveness of taxpayer-funded programs, and the measurable outcomes residents were receiving for millions of dollars in public spending. The article was published by Miami’s Community Newspapers. Today, that article no longer exists on its website. Readers attempting to access it are greeted with a 404 error page.

I have no interest in speculating about who made that decision or why. What interests me is the larger question: why is there such resistance to a public debate about homelessness in Miami Beach? Because the questions raised in that article have never been answered.

For months, I have asked for a real discussion about homelessness in Miami Beach. Not a press release. Not a presentation. Not carefully crafted messaging. A debate. Policy against policy. Outcome against outcome. Fact against fact. Those opportunities have never been granted.

That alone should concern every resident and taxpayer.

When government is confident in its position, it welcomes scrutiny. It does not avoid it. It does not rely on talking points. It does not ask the public to accept conclusions without examining the facts. It engages, explains, and defends its decisions in full view of the people it serves.

Instead, Miami Beach continues to celebrate low point-in-time homeless counts as proof of success. That may make for a favorable headline, but it does not necessarily mean the problem is being solved. A point-in-time count is exactly what it sounds like: a snapshot. One night. One moment. It does not measure how many people return to the streets days later. It does not measure treatment outcomes. It does not measure recidivism. It does not measure whether people are actually escaping homelessness. It measures optics.

The uncomfortable reality is that Miami Beach has built a system that explains inaction instead of delivering results.

The City’s ordinance conditions enforcement on the availability of shelter and services. In practice, that means enforcement becomes optional. No shelter available means no enforcement. No enforcement means no compliance. No compliance means the problem continues. Florida law does not provide cities with an indefinite loophole to suspend action. The State made its expectations clear. Prohibit public camping. Enforce the law. Provide structured alternatives. Use available treatment resources. Intervene when individuals are in crisis.

More importantly, the State backed those expectations with funding, treatment programs, crisis stabilization resources, Baker Act authority, Marchman Act authority, and legal tools designed to address homelessness, mental illness, and substance abuse. The authority exists. The resources exist. The question is whether local government has the will to use them.

LOL! “I’m F*cking Autistic… They Still F*cking Grabbed Me!” – Crying Leftist Goes Into SCREAMING Fit After Police Clear Rioters From Delaney Hall

A crazed liberal woman was caught on camera, screaming and crying about her mental disability outside the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday after apparently being manhandled by police. 

Because she’s “f*cking autistic,” she felt that she could get away with disobeying police commands as they tried to conduct crowd control measures.

Video from the scene shows the unhinged woman, screaming at police after the confrontation, “You’re just following orders, right?”

She then shouts to the cameras, “I told them I was autistic and they still f*cking grabbed me and tried to f*cking jump me!”

“I f*cking tripped,” she said. “They grabbed my arms; my arms are scratched up. Two of them tried to pull me in and jump me!”

“I’m f*cking autistic! I told them I was autistic!”

Another man was seen saying, “I put both of my arms around her and pulled her the f*ck back because I don’t know what the f*ck they’re going to do, these sick f*cks.”

“I literally, I just want to help people! That’s it! I came with band-aids and food, and they told me I was a f*cking criminal! I haven’t done anything wrong!” the woman then shrieked.

Police were seen descending on the mob last night, clad in riot gear, and dismantling their barricades in front of the facility.

Rioters were seen screaming profanities and taunting police as they attempted to remove the barricades from the chaotic scene.

Democrat Congressional Candidate Arrested After Pulling Firearm on Two Government Workers – Previously Issued Chilling Threat Against Councilman’s Executive Assistant

A crazed Hawaii Democrat achieved his 15 minutes of infamy last week after pulling a gun on public officials. But there were signs of trouble before, including a horrifying threat that was seemingly ignored by police.

The Honolulu Civil Beat reported that 40-year-old Kirill Basin, a candidate for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, was arrested for threatening two Maui County workers around 9:30 am on Friday, before running away and being arrested hours later.

Basin has been charged with Terroristic Threatening in the First Degree.

According to The Honolulu Civil Beat, Basin entered a Maui County government building and brandished his gun during an argument with county workers.

Police, however, were not called for an hour and a half.

Maui Police Chief John Pelletier issued the following written statement after Basin’s arrest:

The Maui Police Department will not compromise public safety, and incidents of this nature are taken extremely seriously in Maui County.

I am extremely proud of the quick response and professionalism displayed by our personnel, which helped ensure a peaceful resolution.

It’s not clear at this point why Basin entered the building or who his alleged victims were. But a possible explanation has arisen.

Basin’s behavior follows another disturbing incident two days prior. Basin had to be escorted out of a town hall meeting after arguing with a council member and his staff.

Basin then confronted the council member’s executive assistant in a parking lot after the town hall, causing the police to intervene again.

But Basin’s history with the executive assistant goes back even deeper, and it’s shocking.

From the Honolulu Civil Beat:

Two days before his arrest, police escorted him from a South Maui town hall meeting after he was involved in an argument with Council member Tom Cook and members of his staff, police said.

Shortly after 3 p.m. on Friday, Cook’s executive assistant, Jared Agtunong, filed a petition for a temporary restraining order against Basin. According to the petition, after police had escorted Basin from the town hall, he confronted Agtunong in the parking lot, requiring police to intervene once again.

That wasn’t the first time Agtunong had come into contact with Basin. According to the restraining order petition, Basin had called Agtunong and sent a series of profane and cryptic texts.

“I did not answer Basin’s phone call, but he left a message telling me that I’m a piece of trash, said I should think of my family, and insisted I call him back,” Agtunong wrote in his petition. “In additional texts sent on the same day, Basin wished me luck with prison, then at 9:00 p.m., Basin’s text said ‘you’re f**ked.’”

This all suggests that Basin has some severe mental health problems that need to be addressed.
