The Many Faces of Hillary: Clinton Tries on Personality 9.0

By Selwyn Duke

The Clintons have a long history of Machiavellian emoting. It was quite the scene when Bill Clinton exited Secretary Ron Brown’s funeral in 1996, smiling and chuckling during a conversation, only to turn and see a camera and then bow his head and feign tears (video here). Well, former Clinton advisor Paul Begala did say, “Politics is show business for the ugly.”

And now Hillary Clinton is angling for her Tony, having gotten choked up talking about her mother on ABC’s World News Tonight with David Muir. The Tuesday interview was a stop on what critics have called Clinton’s “apology tour,” her attempt at damage control regarding her email-server scandal. Of course, it may seem harsh to ascribe Machiavellian motives to a woman talking about how her deceased mother inspired her to persevere. Except for one thing: timing. As the New York Times reported just the day before (Monday) in a piece entitled “Hillary Clinton to Show More Humor and Heart, Aides Say”:

“Gender-neutral” Bathrooms, the Mixed-up Kid and Homosexual Dad

By Selwyn Duke

The big news out of San Francisco last week was that it would register another first: a city elementary school is going to switch to all “gender-neutral” bathrooms. The idea is, as the Daily Mail put it, to “accommodate young students who don’t fit into gender norms.” Of course, this apparently means that normal students who might like those supposedly antiquated single-sex bathrooms can just go to Hell (I mean, the Hell that isn’t San Francisco).

The scene of this enlightened step into the brave new world is Miraloma Elementary. Now, you might think a San Fran school would have a couple of hundred sexually confused kids, but, actually, the change is in deference to six to eight children (and to liberal dementia) who “range from tomboys to transgender,” reports SFGate.com. Hey, don’t you know? The whims of the few outweigh the good of the many.

Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis Jailed: Christians Need Not Apply

By Selwyn Duke

“To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.” So said the father of our nation and first American president, George Washington, in the 18^th century. Now, in the 21^st century, the “distinguished character of a Christian” is increasingly considered a disqualification from employment. And Kim Davis (shown), the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk who has made news recently, is a case in point.

She has just been jailed for acting in accordance with her Christian faith and refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

150 Students Stage Walkout Over “Trans” Boy in Girls’ Locker Room

By Selwyn Duke

How would President Obama “feel about a disguised boy sharing a locker room with Sasha and Malia at school”? So wonders American Thinker, writing about a Jefferson County, Missouri, high-school boy (shown) allowed to use the girls’ locker room — because he claims he’s really a girl.

Whatever the answer, how a great number of Hillsboro High School students felt about the boy, senior “Lila” Perry, is not in doubt: Approximately 150 of them, almost 15 percent of the student body, staged a two-hour walkout on Monday to protest the pandering to Perry.

Clerk Defies Unconstitutional Court: Won’t Issue “Marriage” Licenses to Homosexuals

By Selwyn Duke

Few people take moral stands today that could land them in prison, but Kim Davis (shown) is an exception. The Rowan, Kentucky, county clerk has made national news by refusing to issue marriage licenses to anyone — homosexual or straight — since the Supreme Court’s unconstitutional June Obergefell faux-marriage ruling. And now Davis has doubled down, defying courts that have ordered her to resume issuing licenses, even though the Supreme Court has just decided not to support her position. In explaining why she is unbowed, Davis says that she’s acting “under the authority of God.”

Obama’s Lies Matter. Sheriff: President “Started This War on Police”

By Selwyn Duke

Reacting to the recent killing of a Texas deputy, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (shown on right) named high-profile accessories in the murder: Barack Obama and ex-attorney general Eric Holder.

The comments were made Saturday to Judge Jeanine Pirro, who’d noted that “without leadership” nothing would change the current climate of hostility toward law enforcement. This is when Sheriff Clarke responded, “And that’s why I said that the president of the United States started this war on police.”

Telling Pirro that he was “too p***** off to be diplomatic,” Clarke was understandably angry about the fatal shooting of Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Goforth. The uniformed officer, a 10-year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff’s Department, was ambushed Friday while pumping gas into his police cruiser at a Chevron station on the outskirts of Houston. The killer, a 30-year-old with a long criminal record named Shannon Miles, shot the deputy in the head from behind, then straddled his body and fired three more shots into his back.

Liberalism Created the WDBJ Killer

By Selwyn Duke

Barack Obama won’t be saying, “If I had a psycho son, he’d look like Vester Lee.” But he might as well. Because Vester Lee Flanagan II, the bigoted maniac who murdered the WDBJ reporter and cameraman Wednesday on live TV, was a philosophical offspring of the Left.

Immigration: The Refugee Scam

By Selwyn Duke

Jeb Bush has called illegal migration “an act of love.” And all over the West we see nations being loved to death, with endless human waves from Third World countries washing ashore. The results were predictable and are now plain: balkanization, riots, ethnic and racial strife and no-go areas in European lands. Yet we’re told that accepting what are “refugees” is a humanitarian imperative. Yet no one, it seems, points out an obvious fact, something that really is the crux of the matter.

If a stranger in need happens by your area and you’re a charitable sort, you may take him in for a time, feed him and provide other basic necessities.

You don’t generally make him an official part of your family and empower him to help decide on finances, what products to buy, how your kids will be educated and what values will prevail within your home.

The point? At issue in the current “refugee crisis” is not charity and the humane treatment of refugees. This isn’t only because most of the migrants in question may not even be refugees.

It’s because the issue is granting uninvited guests citizenship.

WDBJ TV Killer vs. Dylann Roof: Is it Time to Ban the “Gay” Flag?

By Selwyn Duke

Both men wanted a race war. Both men committed murder in an attempt to spark it. But both men’s stories are treated very differently by the media.

The world is shocked by the killing of 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker and 27-year-old cameraman Adam Ward, of small Virginia station WDBJ (a CBS affiliate), by disgruntled and disturbed ex-co-worker Vester Lee Flanagan II, who not incidentally is homosexual. By interrupting a live TV interview and committing his act on air, Flanagan, 41, got the attention he apparently craved and gave the world something unforgettable: real-life murder appearing movie-style, in deadly living color. And while such a thing makes the story impossible for even politically correct media to completely ignore — black-on-white crimes normally receive no national coverage — it’s quite possible to cover it politically correctly.

Black by Popular Demand? Is Black Lives Matter Leader Pretending to be Black?

By Selwyn Duke

First there was Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who’d masqueraded as black well enough to become head of an NAACP chapter. Now there’s an accusation that a “black” activist with “media darling” the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement also is a BINO (black in name only).
