In a major move aimed at restoring law, order, and basic sanity and hygiene, President Trump is taking direct action to reopen mental health institutions and end the open-air drug chaos that’s turned once-thriving cities into poop-filled war zones. For the millions of Americans trapped in these collapsing blue-run hellscapes, where small, medium, and large businesses are fleeing, violent crime is soaring, and the mentally ill wander the streets untreated, this is more than just an EO. It’s relief. More
Its time to let America be Armed.
Not just the Politicians and their pals.
Jonny u b so Corrupt. Will handle it.
Insane asylums. It’s the best solution for the unhomed, unhoused, unsanitary, unbrained wandering souls out there.
When I wasn’t working I used to go over to the State Hospital for daily mass. They had a priest come up from Saint Martin’s Abby. There was an elderly gal who showed up daily who had worked in the kitchen from the 1930’s through about 1980. She said that up through the mid 1960’s they made about 75% of the people get up, take a shower, brush their teeth, comb their hair and work doing something. Through the day. It changed for the worse and kept getting worser and worser. Instead of being active the patients just sat around all drugged up and literally the inmates were running the asylum. It became absolutely miserable in short order and kept going further and further from what had made it a place where patients actually improved.
Let’s turn the island of Lanai into the nation’s lunatic colony. The weather’s great, so people could sleep outside if they want, and could eat pineapples and coconuts.
I’m sure Larry Ellison (Oracle Corp.) won’t mind, he owns 98% of the island’s 140 sq. miles.
Springfield Hospital Center is ready to re-open. Tell them to stop turning it into an office complex. We already have too much vacant office real estate!

Diego Garcia in the absolute middle of nowhere in the Indian Ocean would make a great location for a nuthouse if it weren’t a strategically located military base. How about Greenland or Iceland as well.
@Uncle Al
Lanai is just too beautiful for such a fate.
@Uncle Al
It would be like Marilyn Monroe getting a huge scar across her face.
That’s right! Take away the funding doled out to blue cities and states for their “general” use of the money to vaguely “help homelessness”, and that should go a long way to end the fraud. If cities and states have to shoulder the entire financial burden themselves, they’ll change their policies.
On a personal note: About a year ago around 7 a. on a weekday, as I was sitting down to our kitchen island (which looks out onto a patio facing the street), a very large black woman carrying what looked like her every possession and with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, shuffled across the patio right in front of me. She crossed our yard and headed for the front steps and down to the sidewalk.
I was stunned. The only way to describe my reaction would be if I had seen a polar bear — or even a grizzly or a large brown bear — walk across my patio. We live in a nice neighborhood just minutes northwest of the Seattle core, but it’s a very quiet, rather inaccessible area. People don’t come here unless they intend to. It’s not really on the way from or to somewhere. So to see this was shocking. Further, we have no alleys for people to cut through or access homes from the rear. On top of that we live on a steep hill, which deters the lazy. But there she was. The only way she could have walked from one spot to another is if she had gone up our stairs and down the south side of our house to the back patio and then come up on the north side and up the side stairs to our patio.
I called the police and described her, but good luck with that in Seattle. I’m sure no one even bothered to have a patrol car search the area.
Review the events of the last couple days. We need them. Today, a mass shooting in Reno, just so he could see them die, and currently one in Mid Town New York. I dunno. For along time now I venture no where without my gun. Head shots people.
Add a TDS wing too!
This is such common sense and so many decades overdue, I have no doubt Trump will be opposed on all sides by this from the people who closed mental hospitals in the first place; so they could steal those tax dollars for completely stupid and ineffective “homeless” programs.
There is a shortage of mental health workers. Covid created and aggravated a lot of mental problems. Mental health facilities have gone from care to triage, focusing on getting patients out as soon as possible…regardless of medical need.
A bigger complication is the dominance of enabling/normalization therapy and an aggressive patients’ rights advocacy (the right to live on the street, to aberrant behavior, to self-harm and suicide), that has come to dominate the industry.
HIPAA will need to be clarified/rewritten. Interpretations become ever more restrictive (and convenient, to cost-conscious administrators), putting up barriers to effective and timely treatment.
Still, it’s a step in the right direction, but it will take more than simply building more treatment centers and asylums. Congress and state legislatures will need to step up, consecutive presidents and governors must stay the course, there must be judicial reform, and there must be a paradigm shift in mental health. Improbable? Yes, but so was Trump’s second term.
A noble idea
Too bad all the shrinks are woke, the drugs make the patients MORE psychotic, and mOdErN brain butchers only say WE have to accept THEIR version of reality, or their suicide/homicide/mass shootings and stabbings are somehow OUR fault.
There are shrinks that would recommend the State take a kid away from parents that dont want his dick cut off, so the State can have his dick cut off.
Good luck getting sanity by stud from THIS bunch.
SNS
So this is not a step in the right direction?
Not saying we dont need institutions. ABSOLUTELY we do.
Just saying if President Trump thinks he can populate the staffs of them with the boob-cutting motherfuckers that currently infest psychiatry, all hes going to do is give them captive victims.
He needs to not just rebuild the buildings, but the profession too.
Communist have twisted it to their own ends as it stands.
It needs to begin anew with NONE of the current practitioners allowed anywhere NEAR a patient.

You’re officially designated as a doomer. The BBC is currently crying how all the EU got bent over his trade deals. He’s a force to be reckoned with. I wish your glass were half full. Please review the deal. Holy crap.
Instead of locking up the crazies wandering the streets what WILL happen is anyone who opposes whoever is currently in power will be rounded up and unilaterally declared “incompetent”…and THEN locked up. What we are instituting is a new US version of the old USSR’s Psikhushka. COUNT ON IT.
if they’re not kept under lock and key they’ll leave without therapy and treatment.
Think about the career you have chosen.
Wanted to help people? Became a nurse, doctor, minister, or some such.
Love history? Study history, run for office, teach history.
Want to understand yourself and your issues? Become a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse. I’ve known a few (not as a patient), and they were all nuts. Many therapists also can fall into that “I have issues, so I’ll study them” camp, also.
And SNS is so right about the truly nutty “doctors” who want to do unspeakable things to our children.
The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I’ve known 2 people that were completely insane. One is still institutionalized and the other became a pastor for large hospitals because he married a high ranking hospital adninistrator. They both are very smart and manipulative, yet mad as a shithouse rat on a tuna boat. The pastor and his administrative wife are on their third hospital in three states….scary boys….I know another couple who are both sociopaths if not psychopaths. The dude is drug and alcohol addicted and the dudette has drowned kittens, poisoned neighborhood dogs, even their own dogs….There’s a lot of sick fuckers amongst us….
It’s only going to get worse. That doesn’t mean we can stop trying; we can improve our own little corner of the universe, but entropy requires that all this will devolve into chaos. The Bible mentions this. Time to prepare for His return.
Bring back the quacks!
Now, with 50% more needles!.
🤨
This post made me seach for Nurse Ratched and then I found out that Louise Fletcher who played her died in 2022. 🙁
When they closed down institutions and put the patients out on the street I remember them telling us it is better to mainstream them into society.
Putting people that need care on the streets and providing them drugs while sucking billions of taxpayer dollars and letting it all snowball is proof that they can’t function in society! This a terrible scam and just one more face of the “noble, compassionate, it’s for the hungry children, do-gooder” Socialist Communist Left! Pure greed disguised as “compassion”
GM – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was a great movie then and a time-less classic now.

“GM – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was a great movie then and a time-less classic now.”
…it was a good movie. A bit TOO good. It helped drive the deinstitutionalization that caused me to spend the ensuing decade schlepping fruitcakes to the psych ward for the next decade while putting out their fires and patching their victims, and that lives under bridges and knifes random people to this day.
Everyone thought, thats what a looney bin is, thats so mean!
What they did NOT – and DO not – realize is that there ARE people who cant take care of themselves, see a different reality than we do, and who are very dangerous because some lack empathy, morals, and give NO cues when they are about to become violent
Headcase Hiltons were closer to “Slingblade” that “Cuckoo’s Nest”, but most folks didnt know that because they didnt have contact with the people who were locked away from them, for the safety of BOTH parties.
Were there horrible experiments and providers who abused patients?
Yes.
Just like there are in regular hospitals NOW.
But as we dont close hospitals for the odd Donald Harveys, so too does it not make sense to close crazylands for the real life Ratcheds. You put systems in place, weed out the bad eggs, and go on for the greater good.
…but another thing that fueled deinstitutionalization was the fiction of “medically controlled” psychosis. Yes, some people showed some impovement with some drugs.
Problem is, if they stopped taking the drugs. Which they would do for many reasons. Some would forget, crazy folks not being noted for their responsible natures. Some wold take too much. Some would take too little. Some would not be able to afford them in the wild world, holding a job being an issue for many psychopaths.
And some would simply “like the way they feel” when they stop taking the drugs. Apparently some of the voices in their heads are comforting.
…in any case, outside of the hospital there is no way to be sure they are using them regularly and properly, and not mixing them with other drugs.
And the drugs THEMSELVES may cause more and worse problems. Look at SSRI’S, for example. Read the disclaimers that mention things like rage and suicide risks.
Drug therapy is FAR from a sure thing, especially because NO ONE can prove how it even is SUPPOSED to work.
So they need to be monitored in a hospital.
…there ARE people who cannot live on their own without being a threat to themselves or others. Thats a stone cold, unalterable fact.
Institutions for them are simply the best of bad choices, for both the patient and the public.
But you do need a keeper for the keepers, and to IMMEDIATLY disqualify anyone practicing psychiatry TODAY.
But thats too big a subject for whats already a TL:DNR post…
SNS – The only thing I can say is that people need to disconnect Hollywood with reality.
It’s entertainment folks, not real life! Hell, even the “news” from these people isn’t real life!
