Yes, Leftists are “Evil.” Here’s How They Got That Way—and Why You’ll Never Change Them

By Selwyn Duke

“They are programmed…,” Soviet defector and ex-KGB man Yuri Bezmenov warned decades ago about the ideologues we call “leftists.” “You cannot change their mind…. You are stuck with them.”

It’s common for people to say today when contrasting our two major ideological groups, “Conservatives think leftists are misguided; leftists think conservatives are evil.” I, though, am different.

I know leftists are evil.

That is, practically speaking. Theologically speaking, I’m not judging their souls or inborn nature. Putting it plainly, however, and alluding to the reality that leftists have embraced evil, I will say they are so. I’m going to now explain how they got that way, too, and why Bezmenov was right: You will never, ever change their minds.

Must Trump’s Triumphs Be Hidden for Dems to Win Midterms?

By Selwyn Duke

Is the cynical quip that “sooner or later you must pay for every good deed” actually true? One could wonder with how President Donald Trump’s first year accomplishments are routinely ignored. In fact, there’s an obvious theory as to why there’s incessant (and biased) reporting on the Epstein files.

If the Democrats and their legacy-media PR team focus on actual policy and results, they can’t win the midterms.

Happily Handicapped Nation: Almost 4 in 10 Stanford Students Claim “Disability”

By Selwyn Duke

“I’m disturbed, I’m depressed, I’m inadequate — I got it all!” So exclaimed Seinfeld sitcom character George Costanza, trying to woo a woman he believed had a psychologically oriented Florence Nightingale syndrome. It was a funny scene in 1993, and entirely fictional. But today, a generation-plus later, life has sort of imitated art.

For unlike with George, whose appeal fell flat, having a disability has now become a way to leverage advantage.

It’s so bad that at Stanford University nearly four in 10 undergraduates are registered as disabled. What’s more, this merely reflects a trend sweeping pseudo-elite universities in general. The issue?

Trump Thinks Europe’s War on Speech Is Bad. Actually, It’s Worse Than That

By Selwyn Duke

Whether or not the pen really “is mightier than the sword,” as Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote, words can move mountains. As with music, they have charms that can soothe or incense — or inspire opposition to the powerful. So it’s no surprise that the powerful want to control words via censorship.

Enter Western Europe, which is now trying to kick its censorship into high gear.

Be warned, too: The same speech-squelching efforts were pursued by the Biden administration. And, do note, this will return with a vengeance the moment the Democrats retake the presidency.

Maher, Carolla Unload on Left’s “Drink the Kool-Aid or You’re Dead to Me” Mindset

By Selwyn Duke

Interestingly, the very first “leftist” revolution provided the very first case of a leftist revolution eating its own. That is, Maximilien Robespierre, the French Revolution’s main author, was opposed to the death penalty while seeking power.

He then wantonly killed opponents upon attaining it — and finally began murdering former allies.

(He then was executed himself by other comrades who feared they were also on his hit list.)

And thus has it been ever since with leftist movements. You can never be pure enough for the cause without “drinking the Kool-Aid” — including when that brew’s ingredients suddenly change.

Mamdani: U.S. Should Follow Example of Islam and Muhammad on Immigration

By Selwyn Duke

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement should be completely abolished. He has said that a “Warrant of Removal/Deportation” is invalid. And now he has referenced what he apparently fancies an enlightened guide for U.S. immigration policy: his religion.

Islam is “built upon a narrative of migration,” Mamdani said during an interfaith breakfast Friday. The “Prophet Muhammad … was a stranger too,” he added.

What the mayor neglected to mention, however, is that Islam is built upon a narrative of migration for Muslims. Apropos to this, Mecca is today Islam’s “holiest” city — and it does not allow the entry of non-Muslims.

This, not to mention that Islamic countries weren’t very accepting of the Muslim migrants fleeing Syria and other nations from 2015 onward. Those “refugees” were instead funneled into the very heart of Europe — what once was Christendom.

Nonetheless, there Mamdani was Friday, lecturing Americans on how compassion dictates we erase our borders. He said, in part:

Professor: America’s Young Increasingly Have “Moral Certainty” About Using Political Violence

By Selwyn Duke

“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” This line was uttered, infamously, by Chinese communist dictator and murderer of millions Mao Zedong. It’s also now agreed with by millions of American young people, citizens who don’t see violence as a means to an end.

The may see it as the only means — realistically speaking.

Story on Illegal Chinese Biolabs Keeps Getting Scarier

By Selwyn Duke

China is an absolutely unique land. Often considered the world’s oldest extant civilization, it’s much like the alligator: It has endured while rivals have gone extinct. It certainly aims to outlast the United States, too, and advances numerous schemes to achieve that end.

Thus does the story about an alleged Chinese biological lab discovered in a Las Vegas Airbnb house assume extra significance. And now there’s a new twist: It’s claimed that some of the guests staying at that Airbnb fell deathly ill.

Perhaps more troubling still is that this would be the second illegal Chinese biolab discovered. The first was found in Fresno, California, in 2023.

This prompted China expert Gordon Chang to wonder, “This makes two Chinese biological weapons labs on our soil. Are there more?”

Why Don’t Democrats Want Voter ID? Democrats Tell Us — Honestly This Time

By Selwyn Duke

Data from 2025 show that a whopping 83 percent of Americans support voter ID. This is bipartisan, too, including 95 percent of Republicans and 71 percent of Democrats, according to Pew Research. It also cuts across demographics, with men, women, whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians all supporting voter ID. So why is the Democratic Party establishment adamantly opposed to the people’s will here, swearing that ID requirements are “racist”? Some Democratic figures have given us the honest answer.

“I think there is a lot of voter fraud,” said Democrat Alan Schulkin, who was New York City’s election commissioner. “They get buses and they move people around.”

“Yeah, they should ask for your ID,” Schulkin confessed.

Then there’s Democrat Scott Foval, who was national field director for left-wing group Americans United for Change. He was on board with the shenanigans, but no less forthcoming.
