Highland Park Shooter: Left, Right, or Just Wrong (Like the Popular Culture That Spawned Him)?

By Selwyn Duke

It sure didn’t take long. Aside from predictably using the July 4 Highland Park shooting as a vehicle through which to push anti-gun laws, the mainstream media have also rushed to portray perpetrator Robert Crimo III as “right wing.” A local Chicago news channel claimed he had ties to a “far-right overseas group” while the Daily Mail called him a “Trump-supporting youngster” based on pictures he shared on the Web. In response, other media have pushed back, stating that leftist passions are reflected in a majority of Crimo’s relevant postings, one of which includes his pronouncement “I am a liberal.”

Yet while the latter perspective seems more accurate, are both “sides” missing the deeper point? As to this, question: If you’re a confused young fellow bereft of firm principles living in, let’s say, a land with a Marxist spirit, what perspective will convenience likely compel you to embrace? More on that later.

Murdoch Wedding: A Tribute to the Left’s Destruction of Western Culture

By Selwyn Duke

“We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks,” goes a saying attributed to communist Willi Muzenberg. If old Willi really did thus vow, he might have been looking down (or up?) and smiling this weekend beholding the wedding of one of billionaire media tycoon Rupert Murdoch’s granddaughters. No, the event wasn’t Drag Queen Story Hour or a prurient “Pride” parade, but perhaps that’s the point: It reflects how today’s moral corruption isn’t just an artifact of atomized fringe elements, as the cultural pollution spewn from societal death factories rains down on the wicked and well-intentioned alike.

The Daily Mail ran a long piece replete with photos showing the wedding, of Murdoch granddaughter Charlotte Freud to one Luke Storey, a rapper. It was a dichotomous affair, taking place in the quaint English countryside but attended by some odd characters, including a man in drag as a “bridesmaid.”

Flooring the Fakery: Biden Now Blames Gas Stations for High Prices as China Cheers

By Selwyn Duke

Joe Stalin blamed small-businessman farmers, the kulaks, for the Soviet Union’s 1920s food shortages. Now another Joe, he of Biden fame, has his own scapegoats — for the rising prices his policies have wrought. And the latest targets are gas station owners.

The kicker: These businessmen earn very little selling fuel.

No matter, though, Biden’s scapegoating drew praise — from the communist fascist Chinese government.

Biden Admin: Don’t Worry, be Happy — High Gas Prices Fuel the “Liberal World Order”

By Selwyn Duke

One of the Biden administration’s seldom recognized triumphs is that it has enabled the average American to easily double his car’s value.

All you need do is fill up the tank.

While campaigning in New Hampshire in 2019, Joe Biden promised to “end fossil fuels.” This likely won’t happen as China, India, and Russia — anywhere beyond the West, in fact — won’t be following us into the greentopian abyss. But with gas prices near $5 a gallon, critics worry that the administration’s policies are only ending American prosperity. And now there’s news maddening them further:

In a let-’em-eat-cake moment, Biden said Thursday that energy prices must remain high for “as long as it takes” to defeat Russia; meanwhile, one of his officials just admitted that Americans are being bled at the pump to fuel the “liberal world order.”

What this “liberal” order might be — with China being a fascistic ethno-state, much of the Muslim world Sharia obsessed, South America slouching into socialism, and Russia being Russia — was not reported.

ADF President: “Imperialism of Woke Culture” Imperils Religious Liberty Worldwide

By Selwyn Duke

“There is freedom of speech,” said late Ugandan dictator Idi Amin — “but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.” This spirit is man’s default and lives on worldwide, even in most Western countries, with their “hate speech” laws. The dominant cultural force animating our pseudo-elite’s tongue suppression is currently called “wokeness,” and now a civil rights activist also calls it something else: the greatest threat to religious freedom worldwide.

Letter to the Editor: You're Wrong, Duke!

By Selwyn Duke

In response to my recent article "Tucker Carlson’s Misguided Attack on Republicans," I received positive feedback — and also a bit of the negative variety. Here's one email from a disappointed longtime reader (my response is below):

Americans Waking Up to the Reality of Sex, but Not to the Reality of ‘Tolerance’

By Selwyn Duke

If recently released polling data are any indication, there certainly is one issue on which Americans have moved “right” in recent years: the spread of MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) ideology into schools and the wider society. In fact, more people oppose this agenda now than did five years ago.

At the same time, most Americans also oppose “discrimination” against MUSS individuals. But does this “tolerance” ultimately guarantee the spread of what they find intolerable?

Big Business is Funding Americans’ Killing of Their Kids — and Then Replacing Them With Aliens

By Selwyn Duke

Dick’s Sporting Goods will pay up to $4,000 toward the “travel expenses” of any employee who “needs” to go out of state to get an abortion. This company isn’t alone, either. More than 25 big businesses crafted such policies in the run-up to the June 24 Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

Meanwhile, corporate America is also encouraging wide scale immigration and uses work visas to replace Americans with foreigners. And some say this is no coincidence.

Roe Woe: Manchin and Collins Violate Their Oaths by Stressing Un-American Stare Decisis

By Selwyn Duke

In the wake of Roe being aborted, some liberal politicians, such as senators Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) and Susan Collins (R-Me.), are crying foul because they claim that SCOTUS justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch deceived them over stare decisis (respect for precedent) during confirmation hearings. What’s unsaid is that stare decisis is itself a deception. In fact, our Founders would be aghast at the standard. Why? It’s simple:

If a precedent clearly conforms to the Constitution, then regard for stare decisis is unnecessary for a precedent-aligned ruling; all a justice need do is reference the Constitution and he'll vote incidentally in accordance with the precedent.

If the precedent doesn't conform to the Constitution, it is then illegal and should be overturned, which a justice will vote to do if he, again, references the Constitution.
