Retired Army Sgt. Joe Cantasano shared a vulnerable video of himself on TikTok, expressing his frustrations with the health care he receives (or doesn't receive) from Veterans Affairs. When people point to the VA as an example of why the government has no place running this country's health care, this video is an example of why.

Some of the issues Sgt. Cantasano is dealing with are issues other Americans deal with trying to stay with the same health care provider. There is one key difference though. The VAs one job is to make sure he doesn't have to.

I gotta open f*cking Pandora's box again [every time he has to switch to a new therapist] because they're gonna want to know everything, and I'm gonna have to live through that for a month. It's not a lot to ask, I just want to be able to talk to the same person, and not have to retell these f*cking stories that torment me.

This is the line that really cut me.

I've been doing it all on my own, just white-knuckling it.

Every year or half a year when a different Hashtag Mental Health holiday comes up, we all say how "you are not alone" and "you are not a burden." It's clear that is not the case.

Even more infuriating, I don't know if you know this or not, but MANY of our veterans suffer from PTSD. The horrors of war are known to do that. It's one thing if the VA can't fill a prescription or might have a long wait to get a surgery authorized. But how the f*ck is helping veterans with their mental health NOT the one thing they do right?

Sgt. Cantasano says in a follow-up video that by allowing himself to be vulnerable and share an extremely emotional situation and an all too common problem inside veteran healthcare, he wanted to effect change and draw attention to the situation. It sounds like he's done that.

The problem is it should never have gotten so far that someone who risked their life for our country needed to post to social media to draw that attention.

I didn’t know who China McClain was until about five seconds ago. Basically, when I saw the video of her dragging Hollywood elites, I decided to do a Google search. I might not have known her, maybe you don’t know who she is, but your kiddos just might. She’s been in a handful of Disney movies over the past decade. And she’s just taken to Twitter to blast Hollywood’s—how best to put this--Satanic proclivities…

She lays it out in no uncertain terms just what she thinks about the toxic entertainment industry.

“The entertainment industry is about influence. There is a reason why you see people dressed up as Satan. Full-on visuals of Satan, people dressed as Satan, dressed as a demon, got upside-down crosses all on [their] clothes, or pentagrams all on their clothes. […] They know good and god-darn well that God exists. They also know that Satan exists. They’re just counting on the fact that y’all don’t know that.”

A few years ago, I would simply assume Ms. McClain here had just decided she wasn’t going to take her meds anymore, but this is 2022, and I cannot say this is even the craziest thing I’ve heard this week. A satanic cult in the entertainment industry is far more believable than human beings magically changing their genders based on how they feel when they wake up.

This might also explain why someone like Lil Nas X is able to get famous giving lap dances to a literal Satan figure. Or why Disney child stars always seem so messed up in the head. Or a litany of other things we see in the entertainment industry.

Do I believe McClain’s rant? I’m inclined to. But then, I already believed nearly every person in Hollywood and such were a bunch of godless heathens.

The schlimate crazies in America only care about the issue up to a certain point. The poors will signal their virtue on Twitter. Elitists will fly their private jets to lecture you about your gas stoves. No one truly commits to the gimmick. Overseas, they legit think the world is ending and are responding with some of the finest performative slacktivism this side of George Floyd influencers.

Before you get to this viral video, I did some journalisming while I wait for my neighborhood Memorial Day parade to start. Let's Dance is a Swedish dance reality show, kinda like America's Dancing with the Stars. Charlotte Kalla (the finalist) is a retired cross-country skier. And "Återställ Våtmarker" means "Restore Wetlands." Got all that?

Now watch the boom camera operator take this dinkus out.

Take your Wetlands and stick them up your nose, soyboy! These are the finals!

What I'd like to know is if this was a rogue camera operator, or if a director told him to do it. "Boom, swing down on my mark 3...2...1...make that schmuck unconcious!"

Though for the sake of allowing both sides of an argument, I can understand why the enviro-wackos might be resorting to more desperate measures. Nothing else seems to work. Motorists are fed up when you block traffic.

Crazy gluing yourself to concrete does nothing but get your hand removed the hard way.

Destroying priceless works of art is too highbrow for modern society. All that's left is to go low-brow and try to interrupt a reality television show. Silly, because people care about reality TV. If the boom operator didn't knock the guy out, security and a gaggle of angry choreographers would have handled business themselves.

Scroll through Instagram today and you're bound to see generic Memorial Day posts from celebrities. They grab the first photo that comes up in Google search, write a generic message about never forgetting something or the other, and call it a day. Some of them may have even written the generic message themselves! Then you have people like Chris Pratt who actually cares about the holiday and the importance of making sure people KNOW what the holiday means. He shared this post from another favorite of ours, former UFC star Tim Kennedy.

We count the names of each fallen solider lest they be countless. They are the good guys. They run to the sound of gunfire. They know pain and suffering we never will. They have given us the most free and decent society planet earth has ever seen. We run the risk of losing that decency when we fail to instill gratitude in the minds of our youth or the perspective of what it actually means to be free- should they never learn of the selfless sacrifice of our armed service members in the face of oppressive evil.

Not quite the same as your typical A-lister who needs a PR firm to remind them to say something nice about America. Pratt not only shares respect for our fallen heroes but also a concern for our country if we don't effectively teach what their sacrifice actually means. It's almost as if he's been paying attention. His colleagues just read the talking points sent out by the DNC.

You can imagine what some of the comments are. They're the same comments anytime Pratt says something to the right of Karl Marx. This is the same guy who caused a national outrage by praying for director Kevin Smith and somehow has an army of dingleberries looking for new ways to cancel him. Chris knew what the response from some losers was going to be, so he had a message for them too.

And if you use the comments section on posts like this to bitch and moan about America please understand there are countries in the world where criticizing your government will get you killed or imprisoned. Criticism is a right and necessity in amending the flawed systems of man. So by all means, let your voice be heard. But never forget your right to free expression is paid for in blood.

Amen, brother.

I won't say we need more celebrities like Chris Pratt. I'm sure there are more than a few who agree with him and disagree with the viewpoint commonly associated with their Hollywood peers. It would be nice if more of them had the courage to be Chris Pratt out loud.

Luke Combs teaches us that longneck, ice-cold beer never breaks your heart. But when you've had 1, 2 many of them (shout out Whiskey Riff) you find yourself like these broads having a catfight in the concourse of the BC Place in Vancouver. While their boyfriends wonder why they wasted money paying Ticketmaster premiums eight months ago for this. Just saying, when I bought tickets pre-pandemic to see Luke Combs play The Garden, it only cost me fifty bucks. And my date could handle her beer.

Though we're only assuming these ladies had one too many White Claws. They could have just been in a mood.

As embarrassing as it is to watch two women who look like they could stand to lay off the poutine roll around on the ground -- just saying, the chicks at Morgan Wallen throw punches -- the MVP in this video is PawPaw the security guard. PawPaw refuses to retire, so they figured they'd assign him to a Luke Combs concert. After all, nothing bad ever goes down at a Luke Combs concert other than having your beer malfunction when you shotgun it.

PawPaw is giving off Eric Cartman "respect my authority" vibes here. He also could have been replaced by a sign.

Thought in PawPaw's defense, he wasn't the only security guard who stood around doing nothing. A younger security guard figured it would be easier to let them roll around on the ground for a bit and the situation would rectify itself. Talk to him, Karen.

The investigative team at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website is unable to confirm if these ladies at least made it through opening act Cody Johnson (who just released a killer version of George Strait's "Troubadour"), or if this fight took place prior to the event starting. They could also be the type of people who buy concert tickets and pound drinks instead of showing love to the openers. I hate those people.

I could understand it popping off like this at a Waffle House, or whatever Canada's version of the Waffle House is. The fact two people can be this unable to calm down at a Luke Combs concert is further evidence that every day we stray further from God.

If nothing else, it's nice to have some Disney-themed chaos that does not involve America's Governor Ron DeSantis. No, this is just a good ol' fashioned line dispute where two families turned Fantasyland into an all-out brawl with fists and mouse-ear hats flying this way and that.

If you are oldhead enough like me to remember the band Ugly Kid Joe, play "Madman Loose in Disneyland" in the background for added enjoyment.

The incident begins online for Mickey's PhilharMagic, a music concert starring Mickey, Donald Duck, and a few others. One girl left her phone somewhere and went to go get it while her family stayed in line. When the girl returned, a family behind her family wouldn't let her through. Her family waited outside for the other family for the performance.

"We don't appreciate you guys pushing my younger sister."

At which point, sh*t was on-sight.

Screaming led to pushing. Pushing led to punches. Punches led to all-out pandemonium. A real slobber knocker, as Western philosopher Jim Ross would say. There were injuries. One man was hospitalized with his face cut open. Three people were arrested. Even worse, the families were kicked out before they got to ride Space Mountain.

The only heroes in this are the people who took out their smartphones. They got some amazing content.

As of this writing, neither family has been signed for a rematch on former-Disney star Jake Paul's next boxing spectacle. But there is still time.

Trans-activists in the UK are pissed off. No, really. They literally call themselves "Pissed Off Trannies," or "POT" for short. They are so pissed off that they dumped 90 litres of urine (a little over 20 gallons in normal units of measurement) on the Equality and Human Rights Commission building.

Here's the deal, according to Reduxx. The EHRC is considering alterations to a law that would "strengthen women’s sex-based rights." As we have seen in the way they treat people like JK Rowling and Riley Gaines, trans people and their allies hate anything that strengthens women's rights to do anything. "Trans" remains ranked #1 on the left's pound-for-pound most marginalized rankings. Women have sunk so low, they almost rank lower than Christians and Trump supporters.

What set of POT for their act was civil disobedience was Melanie Field, chief executive of the EHRC, affirming the definition of "sex." The old-timey, pre-2021 definition.

This isn't the first time POT has sprung a leak (folks, these are the jokes). Last September, there was another piss-filled protest outside the EHRC building. Only they didn't pour the urine on the building. An activist -- wearing a duck mask -- poured it ON HIMSELF.

It was to symbolize the--and I want to make sure I get this quote right--"public embarrassment that trans people experience on a daily basis, using the toilet that either doesn't fit with their gender or using the one that does, and then facing the backlash of people's judgment."

If you think this reeks of performative slactivism and having too much asparagus, HOW DARE YOU! Not unlike UK vegans who dump milk out in the aisle of the supermarket and UK enviro wackos destroy priceless works of art, UK trans activists demand to be taken seriously. Every bit as seriously as we take them in America.

Or, at the very least, as serious as these people.

Please join me in praying to the deity or deities of content that the EHRC goes through with their alterations and that POT needs to escalate their civil disobedience. And off-shoot of POT called SOT. Sh*t On Trannies.

We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website are advocates for presenting both sides. You have heard from the right when it comes to the Boycott Target movement. Now, let's hear from the left. Actress Rachelle Lefevre is a veteran of the Twilight movies. On behalf of her non-binary seven-year-old, she blasted the retailer for "performative allyship" in how they celebrate Pride for only one month out of the year.

Forget it, she's rolling.

I came in here two days ago, and my seven-year-old, who's non-binary, saw it and said: "Look, mom, it's Pride, look! They're going to celebrate me!"

That conversation never happened. And let's say for the sake of argument a "non-binary" seven-year-old is a real thing (critics say it's parents pushing this on their kids to be trendy), any seven-year-old regardless of how their mother claims they identify is only going to care about the toy aisle.

So the next time my seven-year-old comes to Target - or rather I can't bring them here anymore, at least for the entire month of June - because if they walk in, and all the other people who walk in, and go: "Where did it go?" They're going to realize that [people who feel pushing this stuff on kids is inappropriate] are being successful in trying to erase them.

There are some Target's who have been moving their Pride collection -- not REmoving, but moving it -- to less prominent parts of the store. This specimen claims THAT is erasing her non-binary seven-year-old. But her non-binary seven-year-old will be fine shopping in July when the store goes back to ignoring Ls, Gs, Bs, etc. for another eleven months.

Lefevre is right about the "performative" part. But it's alleged adults like her who are being performative. Retailers aren't selling "I'm Proud of You Always" bibs or onesies that say "Queer' four times on them to children. They are selling them to woke twat parents who are looking to signal their virtue to other woke twats.

Also, because a radical leftist activist group that wants to integrate gender ideology into math tells them to.

And you know, fairplay to this actress. She has the same right to express her opinion as the mother who believes marketing bathing suits that boasts of being "tucking" friendly -- "tucking" is what you do to your peen when you claim you don't want it any more -- to kids is inappropriate.

Target can then decide which way they are going to lose more money. Not unlike Bud Light.

Target’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer says if you don't like her political agenda, Target may not be the company for you. She means employees, but I'll bet you a dollar the sentiment extends to customers as well. If there was ever an indication Target can and will be turned into the next Bud Light, this is it.

Shout out to our friends at Mythinformed (which is a must-follow on Twitter) for uncovering this video of Kiera Fernandez, Target's Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer (it's a real job title) and Vice President of Human Resources. If you don't agree with her radical leftist political agenda, get a new job.

A top executive is on video saying of you disagree with her politically, you need to shut up about it and do what you're told anyway. otherwise, you can't work there. Imagine if it was an employee who wanted a mental health day on the third anniversary of George Floyd sacrificing his life for social justice, and THAT employee was told no and that if they don't like it work someone else.

Here's where the Bud Light comparison comes in. A lot of attention is being paid to titface performers and TikTok ingénue Dylan Mulvaney as the catalyst for the boycott. But I don't think s/he was enough. Most people weren't even sure if it was an April Fool's joke or not. What set off the boycott that has the entire beer industry shaking were the viral comments of now former VP of Marketing Alissa Heinersceid attacking the customer base Bud Light had cultivated.

"And we had this hangover. I mean, Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor, and it was really important that we had another approach."

The people who run Target hate the half the country who disagrees with the radical leftist agenda every bit as much as the people who run Anheuser-Busch do. The fact that a majority of that half is their customer base? They don't seem to care. They need to be made to care.

High school athletes dream of going to State. They work hard to stay at the top of their game to reach the accolades and the opportunities that can present themselves. There was controversy this past week over girls missing those opportunities when they were defeated by girls who used to be boys, including those who raced as boys as recently as two years ago.

The controversy continues because after taking the spots from biological girls, the trans athletes no-showed the State Championships. According to the California Interscholastic Federation, they are disappointed... in the parents who were protesting on behalf of saving girls' sports.

The CIF is disappointed for two of our student-athletes and their families because due to the actions of others, they found it necessary to withdraw from the State Track and Field Championships out of concern for the student’s well being.

Riley Gaines, an activist on behalf of girls' sports, issued a statement on Twitter asking if the real reason the two (formally) make competitors didn't compete was that their conscious got the best of them. Probably not but a girl (who was born that way) can dream.

One of the no-showing athletes, Athena Ryan, is a high school track star who ran track as a boy until 2021. Controversy erupted when Adeline Johnson, a girl and has only ever been a girl, gave a thumbs down after finishing fourth and missing out on the state championship opportunity. It was believed the thumbs down was due to the unfair competitor, but according to a statement by the school, the gesture was taken out of context.

The second no-showing athlete is Lorelei Barrett, according to the New York Post.

Welcome to America in 2023. One side of the debate, the side that believes in biology, feels that because boys are born with certain biological advantages in strength and athletics, it is unfair for them to compete against girls. Effectively rob girls of opportunities like scholarships and being able to discover themselves as they learn, grow, and develop. Also, forcing young girls to change with classmates who have male body parts is weird and people who support forcing them to do so should feel disgusted with themselves because you're a gross person.

The other side of the argument -- the side that controls the White House, Hollywood, and 99.86% of the media. -- thinks you're a homophobic transphobe.

Controversy over mediocre male runners who compete as males after going through puberty as males, then decide to be girls and compete against girls, has been a cornerstone of that debate since 2018. In 2020, three female runners filed a lawsuit in Connecticut against allowing boys -- even though they say they're girls -- from competing in girls' sports.

Chelsea Mitchell, one of the plaintiffs, had her OpEd about the issue edited by USA Today because Mitchell referred to males as "male." USA Today found that offensive.
