  • Deportation: Do We “Please Migrants” — or Muster Up the Guts to Save America?

    Migrants Streaming Across BorderBy Selwyn Duke

    “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder,” said historian Arnold Toynbee. Slow suicide is tragic, too. It may be obvious that a man hooked on drugs or alcohol is headed toward destruction. Yet he still may be unable to kick his addictions. And so it is with civilizations and their addictions to bad ideas and tendencies. Examples are immigrationism and bleeding-heart, misguided compassion — both of which threaten the U.S.’s existence.

    Commentator Pat Buchanan, after noting that it was hard-nosed men who founded and forged our nation, once asked if we today possess the intestinal fortitude to preserve their creation. The answer may be no, too, if Americans can’t demonstrate the virtue necessary for a certain civilization-preserving act: mass deportations.

    Note also the congruence to this prescription. Mass deportation corresponds to mass migration, the latter of which has been orchestrated, calculatingly and illegally, by our immigrationist pseudo-elites.

  • Study: Democrat Men Cheat on Their Wives More — and Many Are OK With It

    Wedding Ring-BrokenBy Selwyn Duke

    Ex-president Bill Clinton, who in 1998 said in response to questions about infidelity, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky” (even though he did), apparently isn’t alone among Democrats in having the morals of an alley cat. That’s what a new study shows, anyway.

    The recently released research, from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), found that “Republican husbands, especially religious ones, are less likely to cheat on their wives than Democratic husbands,” the organization writes.

    This isn’t the first time the IFS has discovered a Dem-Rep infidelity divide. In 2022, the organization studied women and found the same phenomenon. In 2017, it revealed such a gap between Democrats and Republicans in general. And related to this, the IFS discovered in 2015 that conservative counties have more stable families than Democratic counties do.

    Of course, is this surprising? Would people who tout “situational values” and shades of gray have much regard for marriage vows?

  • “Toxic” (Read: Heroic) Masculinity Saves Women’s Lives

    Knight in Shining ArmorBy Selwyn Duke

    “There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper,” pointed out feminist professor and cultural critic Camille Paglia, demonstrating a grasp of sex differences. Men do get plenty of “credit” for their Jack the Rippers, too. And their Mozarts (and heroes)? Not so much.

  • Mexicans May be Even More Fed Up With Migration Than Trump Is

    Migrants Streaming Across BorderBy Selwyn Duke

    “‘We’ve been invaded,’ she said, standing outside a restaurant where she works,” wrote USA Today earlier this month, quoting a fed up woman. “‘I changed my opinion (about them), because I live in a place where we didn’t see any of this. But now everywhere there are people who aren’t from here.’” Was this a MAGA-hatted America-first zealot in Hazleton, Pennsylvania? Springfield, Ohio? Dearborn, Michigan? Portland, Maine? Actually, the lady is a Mexican.

    A real Mexican, that is — living in Mexico. And, yes, she’s disgusted with how migrants are changing her community. She’s not alone in her sentiment, either, which could be one reason Mexicans are enthusiastically sending migrant caravans our way. And this is another reason why we should build a wall, strong and tall, and deport them all. (And let the immigrationist lobby bawl.)

  • MALPRACTICE: Woman Sues Doctor Who Gave Her “Sex Change” Drugs — at AGE 12

    Judge pounding GavelBy Selwyn Duke

    Are the capons finally coming home to roost for the doctors prescribing “transgender” treatments for children and irreparably harming them? This may be the case if a new malpractice lawsuit is any indication. It was filed by a woman prescribed puberty blockers at age 12 and, unbelievably, a double mastectomy at 14.

    This has been a long time in coming. Back in 2021 I lamented, not for the first time, that it’s surprising such lawsuits are

    not a trend already as [the doctors in question have] long been hurting people with scientifically baseless prescriptions and, as the American College of Pediatricians essentially stated in 2016, are guilty of child abuse.

    And as child abuse is precisely how many would describe the trespasses in the current story. As The Daily Signal reports:

  • The Mangione and Penny Cases Illuminate America’s Moral Degeneracy

    Confusion-Traffic SignsBy Selwyn Duke

    It’s a tale of two naked-city stories. As most know, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a New York City street in December 4’s early morning hours. To the surprise of many, too, millions are applauding Mangione as a hero who struck back at a corrupt system. Why, journalist Taylor Lorenz has even expressed “joy” at the murder, and donations for Mangione’s legal defense have topped $75,000. (This, for a child of privilege with millionaire parents.)

    Just five days later, ex-Marine Daniel Penny, also 26, was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in the death of drugged-up, deranged vagrant Jordan Neely. Penny had helped restrain Neely after the latter menaced people aboard a NYC subway car on May 1, 2023. Neely, whose rap sheet lists 42 arrests, later died.

    And while some Americans expressed joy at the acquittal and a majority likely supports it, millions nonetheless want Penny’s scalp. What’s more, some observers draw a moral equivalence between his and Mangione’s actions. And Mangione’s case is particularly interesting, as it has revealed, in neon lights, a deep and widespread anger against pseudo-elites in general and the healthcare system in particular.

  • Government Spends Billions of YOUR Money to Build … NOTHING

    Banana RepublicBy Selwyn Duke

    “The best government is that which governs least,” goes the old saying. And if ever there were evidence for this proposition, it’s our federal government’s efforts at creating infrastructure. In fact, I built more as a child playing with Lincoln Logs and LEGO blocks than the feds do via some of its billion-dollar projects.

    Consider, for example, a plan the government hatched three years ago to lay thousands of miles of fiber-optic cable. Costing $65 billion, this effort’s goal was to bring high-speed internet to all of America. (So everyone can watch online porn.) And how many are connected today, three years later?

    Zero.

    In fact, “Not a single project is underway,” relates investigative journalist John Stossel in a new video report.

  • Newsweek: “Biden’s ‘Preemptive Pardons’ Once Again Prove That the Democrats’ Accusations Are Confessions”

    Banana RepublicBy Selwyn Duke

    Are preemptive pardons the inverse of preemptive convictions? Sometimes, yes, because they can be equally unjust.

    In the wake of Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son Hunter, something he said he would not do, we learned that Biden (his handlers, to be precise) is considering “preemptive pardons” for certain ex-government officials and administration allies. These include Dr. Anthony Fauci, the ex-bureaucrat responsible for much destructive Covid-19 policy; and Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and former representative Liz Cheney, who were party to Congress’ January 6 Committee shenanigans.

    Of course, deep staters justify this by claiming that President Trump wants to persecute political opponents. Here’s what they don’t say:

    Pardoning allies (partners in crime?) is a good way to ensure they won’t implicate you.

  • After Winning a Political Battle Nov. 5, Can We Now Win the Culture War?

    Donkey-ElephantBy Selwyn Duke

    On December 7, 1941, Japan won a victory so resounding at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, that a casual observer might have considered its empire an unstoppable force. Yet the Land of the Rising Sun never had a chance. With an industrial base dwarfed by that of the United States, its eventual defeat was inevitable. This lesson from history is applicable to our time’s cold political/culture conflicts and raises a question.

    Patriotic Americans won a convincing political victory November 5, but can they now turn the tide in the culture war?

    That depends, says one commentator, on whether they recognize that “cutesy time is over” and start playing for keeps.

    Put differently, it hinges on whether we, after striking a blow against the political establishment, continue following the cultural establishment. Can we truly think and act outside the box? Doing so is important for a simple reason:

    We’ve been put in that box by the cultural devolutionaries — by the enemy within. It is a box they created.

    And, well, we’re in dire need of repackaging.

  • SICK: Taylor Lorenz and Fellow Leftists Celebrate Healthcare CEO’s Murder

    Demonic GirlBy Selwyn Duke

    Certain people in our society are members of what has been called the “culture of death.” They have outed themselves again, too, in a most shocking way: Celebrating the murder of the healthcare CEO assassinated Wednesday on a Manhattan street.

    What’s more, in this they’re not just cheering the murder of a man. They’re also, usually unwittingly, enabling the murder of the United States’ first-world status as Third World behavior becomes normalized.
