Drugged for being boys: The TRUTH behind the ADHD scam



Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that people are born with.

Well, at least that’s long been the narrative in the medical field.

But the fact that ADHD diagnoses and Adderall prescriptions have skyrocketed in recent decades, especially in young male populations, has many — even the left’s “experts” — questioning if ADHD is actually congenital. It seems they can’t help but ask: If ADHD is something you’re born with, why the enormous surge in diagnoses?

In a recent New York Times article titled "Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D. All Wrong?" writer Paul Tough challenged the idea that ADHD is solely a fixed, biologically driven condition and suggested that it might also be driven by various environmental factors, including increased academic pressure, pervasive screen time, sleep deprivation, and post-pandemic stress.

In response, the Daily Wire published an article titled "The ‘Experts’ Are Finally Admitting That ADHD Is A Scam,” in which the writer acknowledged that mainstream sources are finally beginning to question what many of us have known all along: ADHD is a misdiagnosis of normal behavior.

The writer alleges that the feminization of education, pharmaceutical greed, and the mislabeling of normal male behavior are what’s really driving ADHD diagnoses and prescriptions.

On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn dove into these new conversations revolving around ADHD.

“The truth is we've been told not that a feminized education system has increasingly punished normal male behavior it doesn't understand; it's not that schools have lost their capacity to educate male students; it's not that smartphone use and electronics in general have become distractions teachers have been unable to control. Instead, we're led to believe that boys have suddenly become afflicted with a severe psychological disorder,” Glenn reads from the Daily Wire piece.

He agrees that what’s being done to boys in education is a travesty.

“Everything is just push the girls, push the girls, push the girls — ‘you can be anything.’ ‘Shut up, sit down, have some Ritalin’ to the boys,” he condemns.

The boys who are being written off as distractible and out of control are really just being typical boys. The Daily Wire article mocked one experiment conducted at the University of Central Florida, in which children were placed in front of a computer and shown two videos: a math lecture involving basic addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and a pod-racing scene from “Star Wars.”

Surprise, surprise — the kids were more likely to fidget and spin around in their chairs during the math lecture than they were when watching the “Star Wars” scene.

Using these “groundbreaking” findings, the UCF published a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology titled “ADHD Kids Can Be Still — If They’re Not Straining Their Brains.”

The Daily Wire ridiculed this, arguing that the study merely “discovered the concept of boredom.”

Glenn agrees and humorously compares the UCF study to discovering that your children “like sugary cereal over bran flakes” and then trying to “get them on LSD” to correct the problem.

While it’s true that some children struggle to focus in school more than others, it doesn’t mean they have a psychological disorder, Glenn says. It means that “all kids are wired differently; boys and girls are wired differently.”

Our differences are not the problem. The problem is that "public schools are made for everybody to be the same."

4 Things I Learned From Bill Whittle’s History Of Soviet Russia

Bill Whittle's newest season of 'What We Saw' on Daily Wire Plus dips its toe in the oceans of blood Russia's Communist revolution released.

SCOTUS temporarily blocks Texas immigration bill. Here’s what COULD happen after the final ruling on March 13.



Just as Texas reached its limit with Biden’s open border policies and proposed Texas Senate Bill 4, which would allow the state to arrest illegal immigrants, the Supreme Court stepped in and halted progression.

Now, Texas once again has its hands tied with the invasion at the border — at least until March 13, when SCOTUS will make a final ruling.

“We can't enforce our laws; we can't keep our border sovereign,” sighs Sara Gonzales.

To make matters worse, “We're finding out there was a FOIA lawsuit from the Center of Immigration Studies that revealed that the Biden administration has been coordinating flights for approximately 320,000 illegal immigrants to 43 different cities across the country.”

“You don't even have to walk these days,” says Sara. “You can just get a free flight, free money, free debit card, free phone — free everything, but if you're an American citizen, no. If you’re a homeless veteran, stay on the streets.”

“It's so blatant, and you may see the Supreme Court end up taking the position of the Federal Government because I do not think that they want freer states,” adds Eric July of Rippaverse Comics.

How Texas would respond to such an unfavorable ruling poses some serious implications.

According to Eric, if SCOTUS blocks SB4 and prevents Texas from protecting its borders, the state must take the position of “we don’t care” and decide to protect the border anyway, regardless of what that means on a national level.

Sara agrees — “What are they going to do? You already have Border Patrol who is calling out Joe Biden and saying he is doing a horrible job ... and they have already come out and said we respect the Texas National Guard.”

“Maybe violence breaks out, but maybe that’s what it has to come to.”

Bet you can't guess what detail the mainstream media keeps omitting in the Laken Riley case



A 22-year-old student was murdered on her University of Georgia campus by a 26-year-old illegal immigrant, and the mainstream media is showing its true colors.

The student, Laken Riley, was going for a morning jog when Jose Antonio Ibarra allegedly kidnapped and killed her.

However, in stories published on the tragedy from publications like the Associated Press, the reporters neglect to add in a very important detail: the alleged murderer is an illegal immigrant, and he already had a criminal history here in the United States.

According to ICE, Ibarra was caught crossing illegally into El Paso in September 2022 and was released into the United States via parole.

Nearly a year later, New York police arrested him for acting in a manner to injure a child less than age 17, and, yet again, he was released.

“I’m sure that it was just, you know, an oversight,” Sara Gonzales mocks, “just a little oopsy. Surely, they wrote a follow-up that highlighted the glaring omission that this man should not have even been in this country in the first place.”

“You have to imagine — surely, it’s incompetence rather than a deliberate act of deception,” she adds sarcastically.

The Associated Press did write a follow-up on the story in which it blamed toxic masculinity for her death rather than the allowance of a criminal into the United States.

The author then used the death of Mollie Tibbetts as another example of toxic masculinity but neglected to mention Tibbetts was also brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant.

“Both women were murdered by illegal immigrants, but that doesn’t fit the narrative. That’s not good for optics,” Gonzales says.
