Gov. Abbott Erects Signs in Mexico: “How Much Did You Pay to Have Your Daughter Raped?”

By Selwyn Duke

In 2005, the Mexican government distributed comic-book-style manuals instructing migrants on how to enter and remain in the U.S. illegally. Now, a generation later, new messages are being sent to would-be illegal aliens.

“How much did you pay to have your daughter raped? Many girls are raped by the coyotes you hire,” is one.

“Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies,” reads another. “Coyotes lie. “Don’t put your family at risk.”

“Many girls who try to migrate to Texas are kidnapped,” yet another message warns. “For the sake of your family, stop.”

And, no, the above don’t come with trigger warnings.

A New Year’s Resolution That Could Spark Revolution

By Selwyn Duke

It’s that season again, that time for New Year’s resolutions, when we put our minds to perhaps giving up junk food or engaging in regular exercise. Yet while this is all well and good, even better is to add to it the aim of purging the spiritual junk food of sin from one’s life and exercising virtue. And while the virtues are many, one that perhaps warrants some special attention is honesty.

British anthropologist Thomas Henry Huxley once stated that “veracity is the heart of morality.” It makes sense, too. Just as we can’t understand what is proper tennis instruction or medical care if we imbibe lies relating to the endeavor’s principles, how can we know what is proper morality if we’re subject to lies relating to it?

WOW: Disney Nixes “Transgender” Storyline; LGBTQ Lobby Is Livid

By Selwyn Duke

Did Hell just freeze over? Some may thus wonder with news that Disney, aka Woke Entertainment Central, has just eliminated a “transgender” storyline from a new animated series.

The sexual devolutionaries (“LGBTQ+” lobby) are howling, too, accustomed as they are to Disney doing their bidding. The move is still only a baby step, however. The MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) character will still appear on the program, Pixar’s Win or Lose. But dialogue relating to its psychological delusion has been removed by the creators.

Ex-CBS Reporter: We Colluded With Dems in Faking Negative Impact of Gov’t Shutdowns

By Selwyn Duke

It could be Exhibit A for why people don’t trust government and the legacy media. Only, well, there are so many damning exhibits to choose from. The story?

We’ve heard much about “collusion,” such as the Trump/Russia-collusion hoax. But here’s a story of real collusion, from the people who gave us that hoax:

Years ago, CBS couldn’t find real-life negative impacts of a government “shutdown” that was taking place and which the Democrats were blaming on the Republicans. The solution?

Be party to the Democrats’ faking of a negative impact.

This bombshell was revealed, too, by a reporter who was with CBS at the time: Sharyl Attkisson.

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

By 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

By 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

By 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

By 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

By 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

By 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.
