  • The Only Proper Way to Vote (Hint: For the Party, Not the Person)

    By Selwyn Duke “I vote for the person, not the party,” people will proudly say. This is considered the enlightened position, taken by “free thinking” Americans unconstrained by partisan politics. Why, they’re fair-minded: They judge every politician as an individual. Here’s what no one says: In general elections, this is often what demagogues want you…

  • Mamdani’s Year Zero: NYC Whites Out White People From its History

    By Selwyn Duke “When progressives say they want to dismantle ‘whiteness,’ they want you to believe they mean some complicated sociological phenomenon,” wrote commentator David Marcus in 2021. “They do not. They mean “white people.” They mean they want to dismantle the lives of white people.” This warning could come to mind when pondering Mayor…

  • Are the Democrats Now a “Manchurian Party”?

    By Selwyn Duke The warning that there’s an “enemy within” certainly is not new. The description was used, for example, in 19th-century political and religious pamphlets. The Enemy Within would later become the title of books by commentators Michael Savage and David Horowitz, warning about the threat the so-called “Left” poses to civilization. Now another…

  • Black Teen Nolan Wells Dies Down South; Race Hustlers Want Mississippi Burning

    By Selwyn Duke Many black people are “rooting for, hoping — seemingly praying — that Nolan Wells’ white friends killed him.” So said commentator Jason Whitlock, himself black, last Thursday about the recent death of black youth Wells. The case is receiving much national attention. Nolan Xavier Wells, an 18-year-old college football player from Ocean…

  • DSA’s New Plan: Abolish Senate, Amnesty for Illegals — Deliver Madison’s “Tyranny”

    By Selwyn Duke Is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) trying to visit tyranny on the United States? Evaluating their new platform, you’d have to say yes if heeding a warning from James Madison, “father of the Constitution.” He famously said in Federalist No. 47:

  • California’s Plan to Wipe Out “Indians”

    By Selwyn Duke It isn’t actually true that Christopher Columbus committed genocide against the Indians. Ironically, though, the very people who accuse him of such are now trying to wipe out “Indians.” They also want to eradicate “Apaches,” “Braves,” “Chiefs,” “Chieftains,” “Chippewa,” and “Comanches.” That is, social engineers want to partially erase Indians’ memory by…

  • Divided America: Leftists are Dumping MAGA Family Members — for Good

    By Selwyn Duke It seems as if July 4, Thanksgiving, and Christmas celebrations are poised to become far more peaceful. The issue? In another example of America’s intensifying bifurcation, there are yet more stories of leftists cutting ties with MAGA relatives.

  • Graham Platner’s Gone, but Does He Merely Reflect Democratic Party Values?

    In 2006, it emerged that then-congressman Mark Foley (R-Fla.) had sent sexually explicit texts to a male congressional page. This made a continued career in GOP politics untenable, and he resigned from office the very next day. In 1989, it was revealed that a male prostitution/call-boy operation was being run out of the D.C. apartment…

  • Leftists’ “Land Acknowledgments”: If the Land is Stolen, When Will They Return It?

    By Selwyn Duke The process of making things right is simple: First you acknowledge wrongdoing. Next you show remorse. Then, finally, there’s the last step: reparation — you make the aggrieved “whole.” That third part is pretty important. If you happen to “skip” it, one may wonder if you were sincere about the first two…

  • Libs’ Air-conditioning Hypocrisy: Cool Living for Me, Sweating for Thee

    By Selwyn Duke “All animals are equally cool,” famously wrote George Orwell, “but some animals are more equally cool than others.” OK, he didn’t quite say that. But updating his line for the 2020s may be appropriate given the newly heating up air-conditioning wars. That is, first we had a French leader blaming American AC…
