First Amendment at Risk: Was Shiloh Hendrix Actually Convicted of “Hate Speech” — in America?

By Selwyn Duke

Here’s something many Americans don’t know: There is no category in American law such as “hate speech.” It doesn’t exist. Some people nonetheless behave as if it does — including many who sit on legal benches and juries.

Some would say this is the reality, too, with a Minnesota court case that has gone viral.

Shiloh Hendrix, a 37-year-old former resident of Rochester, Minn., was convicted Thursday of disorderly conduct. At issue was an incident last year that was captured on video by a Somali bystander. Hendrix was fined $1,000 and assigned 200 hours of community service; she also received a stayed 90-day jail sentence. Critics, however, are crying foul.

Hendrix would never have been convicted, they assert, if not for her race and her words.

Socialism and Islamic Supremacism: Two Strange Bedfellows Aiming to Destroy Our Republic

By Selwyn Duke

Both want to change our system of law. Both hate the United States and Western civilization. And both detest Christianity. They also, by forming an alliance, become the strangest of bedfellows. They are socialism and Islamic supremacism in America — and both forces are growing.

The Only Proper Way to Vote (Hint: For the Party, Not the Person)

By Selwyn Duke

“I vote for the person, not the party,” people will proudly say. This is considered the enlightened position, taken by “free thinking” Americans unconstrained by partisan politics. Why, they’re fair-minded: They judge every politician as an individual. Here’s what no one says:

In general elections, this is often what demagogues want you to do. In practice, though, voting for “the person” may just mean being distracted by personality — like a woman falling for a serial killer’s charms. More on that later.

Mamdani’s Year Zero: NYC Whites Out White People From its History

By Selwyn Duke

“When progressives say they want to dismantle ‘whiteness,’ they want you to believe they mean some complicated sociological phenomenon,” wrote commentator David Marcus in 2021. “They do not. They mean “white people.” They mean they want to dismantle the lives of white people.”

This warning could come to mind when pondering Mayor Zohran Mamdani-led New York City’s recent erasure of “whiteness.” This amounted to omission of Italian-heritage (and, reportedly, Irish and Jewish) neighborhoods from a “New York City Immigrant Enclaves” map. Many don’t think it was an accident, either. After all, Mamdani was the guy seen in a 2020 photo giving the middle finger to a Columbus statue.

Thankfully, this was when he was younger and more immature — way back in 2020.

Are the Democrats Now a “Manchurian Party”?

By Selwyn Duke

The warning that there’s an “enemy within” certainly is not new. The description was used, for example, in 19^th-century political and religious pamphlets. The Enemy Within would later become the title of books by commentators Michael Savage and David Horowitz, warning about the threat the so-called “Left” poses to civilization. Now another observer has sounded this alarm, while naming a party and framing matters somewhat differently.

The Democrats, he says, have become a “Manchurian Party.”

Black Teen Nolan Wells Dies Down South; Race Hustlers Want Mississippi Burning

Image credit: National Conservative/X

By Selwyn Duke

Many black people are “rooting for, hoping — seemingly praying — that Nolan Wells’ white friends killed him.” So said commentator Jason Whitlock, himself black, last Thursday about the recent death of black youth Wells.

The case is receiving much national attention. Nolan Xavier Wells, an 18-year-old college football player from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, went missing on Independence Day after partying with white friends. An extensive search was launched, and he was found deceased July 6, the victim of an apparent drowning. Police suspect no foul play, but the investigation is ongoing.

From the reaction in certain quarters, though, you’d think the poor young man was found hanged. Race hustler Al Sharpton and “civil-rights” attorney Ben Crump have gotten involved. Anti-white sentiment on the internet has been stoked. And entities such as HuffPost are claiming that the “story we’ve been given about Nolan Wells doesn’t add up.” Is this, however, only because such observers have a math problem?

DSA’s New Plan: Abolish Senate, Amnesty for Illegals — Deliver Madison’s “Tyranny”

By Selwyn Duke

Is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) trying to visit tyranny on the United States? Evaluating their new platform, you’d have to say yes if heeding a warning from James Madison, “father of the Constitution.” He famously said in Federalist No. 47:

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.

Libs Shocked That Muslim Countries Rejected Homosexual Cruise — Some Blame Trump

By Selwyn Duke

The Love Boat it ain’t. It’s not enjoying the high ratings that old show once did, either — at least not in the Muslim countries rejecting it.

At issue, of course, is the “homosexual cruise” that was first denied docking privileges in Turkey, then in Egypt. Of course, though, that’s actually no surprise. But something else is.

Some leftists are shocked — shocked, I tell you — that Muslim countries wouldn’t allow an “LGBTQ” group on its shores.

What’s more, other leftists are blaming President Donald Trump for the rejection. (Apparently, Muslim nations obey his every whim. Just consider the Strait of Hormuz situation…)

California’s Plan to Wipe Out “Indians”

By Selwyn Duke

It isn’t actually true that Christopher Columbus committed genocide against the Indians. Ironically, though, the very people who accuse him of such are now trying to wipe out “Indians.”

They also want to eradicate “Apaches,” “Braves,” “Chiefs,” “Chieftains,” “Chippewa,” and “Comanches.”

That is, social engineers want to partially erase Indians’ memory by nixing the above terms.

This is happening culture-wide. At issue today, however, is California’s AB 3074, a measure signed into law by Democratic governor Gavin Newsom in 2024. The alleged problem with the above terms, according to the legislation?

Divided America: Leftists are Dumping MAGA Family Members — for Good

By Selwyn Duke

It seems as if July 4, Thanksgiving, and Christmas celebrations are poised to become far more peaceful. The issue? In another example of America’s intensifying bifurcation, there are yet more stories of leftists cutting ties with MAGA relatives.
