Variety attempted to smear Chuck Norris for his politics. When lefties die, their politics either go unmentioned in favor of their achievements, or are actively praised. But Christian conservatives? Smeared.

Variety claims that his politics "overshadowed" his career in martial arts and movie-making.

The greatest Community Note of all time put lie to that.

AOC's campaign spent $19,000 for unspecified medical treatments by a doctor known to use ketamine in treating woke women with bad cases of the grumpies.

She's trippin'.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy.

The socialist lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on "novel" therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street.

Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October for a total of $18,725, Federal Election Commission records show.

The expenses were marked as "leadership training and consulting."

It's unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Boyle, a Harvard-trained doctor, calls himself an "interventional psychiatrist" and specializes in unorthodox methods for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and anxiety.

He's considered a "leading authority" on ketamine, the controversial horse tranquilizer given to "Friends" star Matthew Perry in the month leading up to his tragic death.

"I just saw the incredible power of what these treatments could do," Boyle said during a podcast appearance last year about getting into the mind-blowing biz. "It's a ton of fun helping patients get better."

Boyle's clinic also offers other treatments popular with the 1 Percent, like stellate ganglion block, an anesthetic injected into a nerve cluster in the neck to calm the body's fight-or-flight response. Billionaires like Bob Parsons, who's battled PTSD since returning from the Vietnam War, have raved about the treatment.

"Celebrities tend to be more inclined to be on the hunt for highly effective solutions across beauty, health, mental health, nutrition and so on," Boyle said in an interview last year about the treatment.

AOC herself is no stranger to touting the benefits of hallucinogenic drugs for therapy.

The "Squad" rep, who campaigned to end the federal prohibition of marijuana in 2018, has three times proposed legislation to make it easier to study magic mushrooms and other psychedelics.

As a freshman congresswoman in 2019, she introduced an amendment to allow the feds to spend taxpayer money on studying the medical potential of psilocybin, ecstasy and other drugs to treat mental illnesses, calling the early research "promising."

"It's well past time we take drug use out of criminal consideration and into medical consideration," she tweeted at the time.
