Fighting crime doesn’t require new ideas or old ideas — but eternal ideas. New York City once understood this.

By Selwyn Duke

It’s a conversation I’ll never forget. My best friend and I were driving down to Manhattan to dine, in what had become a weekly ritual for us. We were discussing the crime in New York City, as many Big Apple residents no doubt did at that time, the mid-1990s. After all, as a result of the then-waning crack epidemic and turpitude-tolerant policies, criminality had been rampant and making headlines. I remember that we mentioned certain statistics, notably that the city had seen approximately 2,000 murders a year.

Our conversation would quickly become eerily and tragically ironic. As we drove along Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx’s Mott Haven section at about 8:40 p.m., we witnessed what turned out to be a high-profile murder, of a well-regarded Hispanic businessman and millionaire named Thomas Cuevas. We spent much of that night in a police station giving witness statements. In yet another irony, a week or two later my friend and I were driving the same route and his car broke down — within probably 30 feet of where the murder had occurred. While in the neighborhood subsequently getting his vehicle repaired, my friend heard grapevine information, which he later related to authorities, that might have aided their investigation. The perpetrators were eventually apprehended — it was at least partially an inside job.

What’s also partially an inside job — perpetrated by politicians peddling bad policy (and, in fairness, the voters enabling them) — is high crime.

“No border, no wall, no U.S.A. at all!” This line has been chanted by Antifa and other anti-American agitators. But now, a new report reveals, it has prominent supporters in a very high place: the Biden regime’s upper echelons.

The administration’s hand was tipped by Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (aka AMLO) when he announced recently that Secretary of State Tony Blinken proposed opening all borders among the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

“I think that Mr. Blinken spoke about consolidating the region of North America,” said AMLO — “and we agree on that.”

Of course, since Blinken speaks for the Biden administration, it’s fair to assume this is now unofficial federal policy.

While this story should be front-page, it has largely been ignored by the media.

Ninety percent of American Hindus voted for Barack Obama, but this doesn’t mean they subscribe to his anti-discrimination rhetoric (any more than he does). In fact, says an Indian prelate, many of them not only discriminate, but apply what may be the world’s strictest form of discrimination: India’s caste system.

So writes Joseph D’Souza, archbishop of the Anglican Good Shepherd Church of India. He says that even though India has banned “the practice of ‘untouchability,’” it “has not made any dent in the caste mindset of privileged Indians.” And now, via immigration, this system has been brought to our shores.

It’s almost like finding out what happens when an irresistible political force meets an immovable political object. In recent years, parents have been tarred as “terrorists” and targeted with an intended DOJ investigation for vociferously complaining to school boards about the classroom sexualization of their children.

In those cases it was clear which side the pseudo-elite establishment was on. But it may not be so clear in Dearborn, Michigan, where some parents have savaged their school board for the same reason. Even though they expressed un-woke sentiments such as homosexuality is a “big sin,” they're relatively immune from criticism because they have a quality the other parents don’t:

They’re Muslim.

And what’s the result when this Democratic constituency clashes with another, the sexual devolutionaries?

Answer: crickets from the feds and national media.

Approximately 20 years ago, a doctor I know well told me that the people entering her field are now “bottom of the barrel.” Fast-forward two decades and some are aiming to be top of the totem pole — as they’re taking an oath to “honor all Indigenous ways of healing historically marginalized by Western medicine” and fight “white supremacy, colonialism, gender binary, ableism and all forms of oppression.”

Worse still, the oath was apparently formulated by medical students themselves.

The pledge was made by incoming medical students at the University of Minnesota (UM)….

Cancel culture is a doubled-edged sword. And Yale law graduates, 400 of whom shut down a free speech event earlier this year, may learn this the hard way now that 14 federal judges are taking a stand against their wokeness:

They have vowed not to hire law clerks from the intellectually degraded Ivy League school.

THE ANDREA KAYE SHOW _ 10.10.22 HOUR 1

The latest manifestation of America’s fascination with serial killers, the 10-part miniseries Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, has received much criticism. Some say the work glamorizes Dahmer (it doesn’t); others claim it exploits the victims, and some of their family members have complained; and yet others were upset that it originally bore an LGBTQ tag, with a psychologist “warning” that Monster could fuel fear that homosexuality is “abnormal.” But the biggest problem with the series is that it’s an anti-police hit job — and uses deception to achieve this end.

If you think our country is politically polarized today, just wait some years.

It’s poised to get far worse.

Last month, The New American reported on the College Pulse’s Future of Politics (CPFP) study, which found that not only are college students the most politicized they’ve been since the late ’60s, but that the male/female voting gap (i.e., men support the GOP; women the Democrats) among them is wider than in the general population. Now another survey has found the same phenomenon — and more.

At issue is the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) campus study, which surveyed tens of thousands of students. Among it’s most striking findings is that 23 percent of them — a figure rising to 28 percent among female undergraduates — claim “LGBT” status. What’s more, as many as half the students at liberal arts colleges such as Smith and Wesleyan “identify” as non-heterosexual.
