Psychiatric facilities long ago forfeited the privilege of being called hospitals, as these institutions behaved more like prisons. People confined there are not generally criminals, but they are punished harshly. In fact, these places have often become death camps. If the jackboot fits, wear it.
In November, a 48-year-old Fort Thomas man was killed after being restrained at a northern Kentucky psychiatric prison. He was pinned to the ground for 4 minutes after being injected with drugs he was allergic to. This occurred when he tried exiting the facility. He was followed outside by almost a dozen guards, who then ambushed and restrained him.
Press reports indicate that staffers then lied to the man's wife about the cause of death.
Now the man's family has filed a wrongful death suit.
This follows a 2016 lawsuit by the family of an Alzheimer's disease patient.
Psychiatric abuse is as old as psychiatry itself. Sadly, the media has never made it a priority to expose it. Everything else is considered a crisis – as long as they can make money off fear. But not this.

Nazi Klansman University gets humiliated
My experience with Northern Kentucky University pisses me off to no end!
Amid a higher education racket full of schemes and scams, NKU stands Head & Shoulders above so many other offenders. I went to school there in the 1990s, and it's even worse now than it was then.
Today I went up to campus to make a brief documentary video of just how much it's declined...
The campus is totally dead. I at least enjoyed some social activities when I went to school there. They had that lawn where people gathered and put out blankets. Now there's nothing for today's students. It's just dead.
What a disgrace.

Jeff Foxworthy look-alike sighted at Kroger
Another celebrity look-alike!
Today I planned on doing an important project, but I couldn't get transportation, so instead I goed to the bike shop and the friendly neighborhood Krogie-Wogie.
While I was at Kroger, I saw a Jeff Foxworthy look-alike! He looked exactly like him!

A bunch of people were afraid of rap
This is hilarious!
There's a radio station in Milwaukee bearing the call letters WKTI. It used to be a really big station. I don't think there are any really big stations anymore, because people hardly listen to radio anymore, but WKTI apparently was a big deal over 30 years ago.
Anybip, back in 1991, WKTI was softening its music mix considerably. This was a trend for stations all over America back then, and it meant that the station was banishing rap music from its playlist. WKTI ran a TV commercial bragging of its anti-rap stance.
The most unintentionally funny part of this ad was the woman blasting WKTI's main competitor: "102 has rap!" She got this horrified look on her face as she mentioned rap, and her tone was one of fear and disgust.
That ad is up on YouTube...
I can maintain my integrity by embedding that clip, because WKTI as it existed back then is gone. WKTI now has a sports format (even though it's FM).
This commersh was downright humiliating for WKTI, and the station declined for years thereafter.

Census schooled about college miscount
America's higher education system has become a big racket, and nothing has highlighted what a scam it is like the past 2 years have.
After the way colleges and universities have treated their students lately, we have every right to see these institutions punished accordingly – not rewarded. You can't unsee how bad these schools have become. I have zero faith in most of academia now. The actions of our colleges are not recognizably compatible with a liberal democracy.
But they're rakin' in the rewards!
The 2020 census took place in April 2020 – the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The census is supposed to reflect America's population as of April 1, 2020. But the U.S. Census Bureau had a policy that guaranteed colleges would be overcounted. Under this policy, students are counted "where they would have been living and sleeping" on April 1 had their schools not closed down and sent everyone home because of COVID.
So it's not even accurate. Instead of counting students where they actually lived, the census counted them as living on campus or elsewhere in their college community, even though they were sent home by then – and many have not returned. Had they not been sent home, there would have been a reason to count them as living in their college town. Instead, they were counted as part of college communities that had ceased to exist for the time being.
Many of these colleges and their surrounding towns have not recovered. Each of the past couple years, colleges have predicted record enrollment because of a backlog of students who were forced out in 2020 returning. But this record enrollment never comes, as many students don't come back. After all, why should they?
In cities, towns, and counties all over America, an accurate census is critical to funding decisions and political representation. Yet – with the census overcounting college communities - the classist elites who run our institutions of higher book-burnin' are getting funds meant for elsewhere. These are the same elites who have made many of the disastrous decisions of the past 2 years. America outside of college towns will face severe shortfalls in public funds and political power.
But some students actually were properly counted as living at home. To combat this proper count, some colleges wanted the Census Bureau to conduct a special census in the fall of 2020 so students could be counted as living in their college town. The problem for schools then was that so many schools decided to operate like prisons, so a lot of students didn't return.
To fight the overcount of college towns, the government should reissue the results of the 2020 census with revised numbers. Redistricting of legislative seats should reflect this.
Those of us outside college towns are victims not only of classism and credentialism but also taxation without representation.
There must also be punishment for those in charge of our colleges and universities who have been responsible for the atrocities of the past 2 years. They must never be allowed to serve in a position of trust ever again. They must be replaced by people who do their jobs right.
