Study: Conservatives’ Lies Cause Their Higher Social-media Suspension Rates — So Keep Censoring

By Selwyn Duke

Conservatives, let not your heart be troubled. You are being censored more on social media than liberals are, a new study has discovered. But the researchers can help you solve the problem because, they say, they have identified it.

You.

The study has “found,” you see, that conservatives endure social-media suspension more only because they share more “misinformation.” The remedy?

Just echo mainstream media in your determinations and, “Voila!” — you can express opinions with complete freedom.

Oh, the researchers did “prove” their thesis, using “fact-checkers” such as Snopes.com. (Never mind that site co-founder David Mikkelson was suspended in 2021 for plagiarizing at least 54 articles. And never mind that Snopes has in the past had to confess that some of its fact-checks were false.)

Have You Heard of Fuellmich, the Imprisoned Nuremberg 2.0, “Plandemic” Hero?

By Selwyn Duke

You probably have never heard the name Reiner Fuellmich. In fact, not many news sources are covering his story. But Fuellmich, a successful and respected attorney, has been imprisoned in Germany for almost a year. This is despite having been convicted of nothing. But according to the government, he’s guilty of financial crimes; embezzlement appears to be the charge. His defenders, however, say his “trespass” is different.

Fuellmich attempted to hold the powerful responsible for their Covid misdeeds, spearheading a “Nuremberg 2.0” movement. He thereby threatened their power and purse.

So, to paraphrase Stalin right-hand man Lavrentiy Beria, they were shown the man — and the found the crime.

CNN Discovers: Democrats’ Kids Are Far MORE Intolerant Than Republicans’ Kids

By Selwyn Duke

There’s “wisdom from the mouths of babes” and then there’s, well, what CNN found in a recent study. That is, despite liberals’ chest-thumping about their “tolerance,” they’re not the ones raising tolerant kids. Oh, it isn’t just that “Democrat-leaning” children are far more negative about Donald Trump than “Republican-leaning” children are about Kamala Harris. It’s also this:

Liberals’ kids are five times as likely as conservatives’ children to say they wouldn’t visit a pro-“other” candidate home.

“Gun Owner” Kamala Once Sponsored Measure to Seize San Franciscans’ Handguns

By Selwyn Duke

In an effort to convince voters she’s not anti-Second Amendment, Kamala Harris often emphatically claims that she herself is a gun owner. She even said, while cackling during her Oprah Winfrey interview, that anyone breaking into her home is “getting shot.” (Does this standard apply to breaking into countries, too?) But her Dirty Harry routine isn’t working with everyone. Just consider an MSN commenter whose post I recently featured as a “Comment of the Day.”

“She’s a gun owner,” the man wrote. “So were Stalin, Hitler and Saddam. Not surprisingly, gun laws did not apply to them, they made sure of it.”

Now evidence has emerged, too, that Harris is also of the mindset, “Guns for me, not for thee.”

That is, nearly two decades ago, the now-Democratic presidential nominee sponsored a measure to seize San Franciscans’ handguns.

Canada Fines Amish $300K for Not Using Covid App on Smartphones They Don’t Have

By Selwyn Duke

It’s right up there, or down there, with kicking puppies and putting kittens in clothes dryers. How else, after all, would you characterize the tormenting of the Amish, everyone’s favorite quaint, pacifistic Luddites? Well, there is another way — as something Justin Trudeau’s Canada is currently doing.

The story, which broke a month ago, is striking. Ontario’s Amish community is being fined $300,000 ($222,660 U.S.) for not downloading the Canadian government’s Covid app. This is even though Covid fear is about as far past its sell-by date as Joe Biden is. It’s even though religious freedom is supposed to be a priority in Western nations. And, for a kicker, it’s even though the Amish reportedly don’t use the smartphones necessary for downloading the app.

The story also has wider implications. As American Thinker points out, it’s “a preview of coming attractions if Kamala becomes president.” That is, given enough power, U.S. leftists would behave just as their Great White North comrades do. They’d tyrannize us — for our own good, of course.

Bill Nye Backs Kamala, Touts Her “Climate” Policy and “The Science™”

By Selwyn Duke

When hearing “Follow the science,” many once-bitten-twice-shy skeptics have learned, you should perhaps follow the money. Or maybe the power.

Or both.

This perhaps could come to mind with news that TV “scientist” Bill Nye is following Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. In fact, says Nye, you should vote for her because “science isn’t partisan. It’s patriotic.”

Do Defenders of the Chevron Doctrine Believe in a Government of, by, and for the People?

By Selwyn Duke

Would you side with Chevron deference, or constitutional diligence? The establishment, including the mainstream media and Democratic Party, has made up its mind. To them, the “Chevron doctrine’s” demise, which takes the matter of settling ambiguous law’s meaning out of bureaucrats’ hands and places it back in judges’ laps, represents a crisis. Forget people having their day in court. Forget constitutional governance — or even the “democracy” the Left normally touts. They want technocracy.

A good example is an article at ProPublica, which, ironically, calls itself “a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power.” “A Supreme Court Justice Warned That a Ruling [on the Chevron doctrine] Would Cause ‘Large-Scale Disruption,’” a recent title reads. “The Effects Are Already Being Felt.”

Well, one would hope.

The LEGAL Election Rigging That’s Stealing Our “Democracy”

By Selwyn Duke

There’s much talk today about “threats to our democracy.” Yet do you know that foreign entities such as China, Russia, and Iran are feeding mis- and dis-information to the American electorate in order to influence our political outcomes? When the USSR did this (without having social media as vehicles), it was called it “subversion” or, as the Soviets put it, “active measures.”

Add to this how a study found that mainstream media bias increases the Democratic presidential candidate’s vote share by eight to 10 points every election. Also add how another study found that Big Tech bias can shift up to 15 million votes toward a favored presidential candidate. It all raises a question.

Motherhood: A Higher Calling

By Selwyn Duke

What is the most important job in the world? Is it being the president of the United States? Is it being a scientist working on cold fusion, now considered the “holy grail” of energy innovation? Is it toiling away as a researcher seeking a cure for cancer? Is it being a military general, protecting the homefront from external enemies? While all these jobs matter, a lot, they all pale in comparison to another job: That of the person who gives birth to and helps raise the presidents, scientists, researchers, and generals: mother.

This is because motherhood isn’t just a job, or even just an adventure. It’s a calling.

The Roman Empire Followed Our Path of Mass Migration — and DIED

By Selwyn Duke

Empire and the Roman Empire were contemporaneous and peaked at about the same time close to 2,000 years ago. But China is still around.

The Roman Empire is long gone.

The difference? “China is often considered one of the most politically, culturally, and linguistically monolithic countries in the world,” writes LitCharts.com. In other words, through famines, pestilence, bad governments, and other disasters, the Chinese people, language, and culture always remained.
