By Selwyn Duke When called out for falsely claiming in 2012 that then-presidential nominee Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes in 10 years, the late Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was unrepentant. “Well, they can call it whatever they want,” he self-assuredly said of his lie. “Romney didn’t win, did he?” Many would point out that this…

By Selwyn Duke Anyone who thinks the Democrats oppose border control, or even deportation, in principle doesn’t grasp the principle operative here. Leftists, morally relativistic/nihilistic to the core, don’t have principles—only provisional preferences. They could one day support the strictest immigration control imaginable, too. When? Well, while I’ll elaborate more on this later, here’s a…

‘Tis the season to…use the Christmas story for political gain? We’ve heard the line repeatedly. Somehow, we’re not supposed to secure our borders in 2025 and deport invaders because 2,000 years ago the Holy Family were “refugees.” Just today, for example, Newspeak Newsweek wrote that “it’s worth remembering that Jesus began life as a refugee.” (And, apparently then, it’s worth…

By Selwyn Duke While it was contrary to our Founders’ warning to avoid entangling alliances and European wars, we certainly can understand why NATO was created in 1949. The USSR, which President Ronald Reagan would later rightly call an “evil empire,” appeared a burgeoning force. Ensuring his post-WWII domination of Eastern Europe, Soviet despot Joseph…

By Selwyn Duke “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose,” noted Austrian psychiatrist/philosopher Viktor Frankl. Much has been written about the need for meaning, in recent years especially. Without it, a person can descend into a morass of addiction, degradation, and self-destruction. The same, however, is true…

By Selwyn Duke It’s becoming a new Christmastime tradition: Islamic jihadist attacks on non-Muslim celebrations. We all now know of Bondi Beach, Australia, after two jihadists murdered 15 Hanukkah celebration attendees there on Sunday. The perps, father-son duo Sajid Akram, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24, were reportedly inspired by the Islamic State. (Apparently, dad and…
