ALARMING Study: COVID Regulations, Masking May be DRASTICALLY Lowering Kids’ IQs

By Selwyn Duke

Studies have shown that abused children end up with impaired cognitive functioning. Now consider that kids born shortly before the COVID-19 situation and enduring its regulations also, according to new research, have impaired cognitive functioning.

Perhaps this makes clear why a prominent commentator, and others, said long ago that COVID regulations — masking included — are “child abuse.”

The research in question, out of Brown University in Rhode Island, does in fact identify masking as a possible cause of the cognitive decline, which is severe.

Report: “Trans” Children are Being SEVERELY Injured by Puberty Blockers

By Selwyn Duke

One of the reasons anabolic steroids are illegal in sports is that they greatly increase users’ chances of developing health problems and premature death. Thus have we long known that manipulating your body’s hormones is to play with fire. Nonetheless, children who believe they’re “stuck in the body of the wrong sex” have often been treated with puberty blockers. But now, a report out of Sweden indicates that such kids are often being severely and permanently damaged by this radical intervention.

Kamala for Supreme Court? It COULD Happen

By Selwyn Duke

How do you solve a problem like Kama-la♫?

Unlike the nun in the Sound of Music, Democrats won’t be singing about their troublesome lady. But they may wish they could just send Kamala Harris to a convent. Since they can’t, however, they may instead send her to the Supreme Court. This is one writer’s suspicion, anyway.

The issue? “DEMOCRAT strategists are said to be mightily alarmed by recent polls showing that Kamala Harris is the most unpopular US Vice-President six months into an administration since the 1970s, according to YouGov....

Global Warmist Buzzkill: Arctic Ice Is Poised to be Its THICKEST in a Generation

By Selwyn Duke

The “Arctic is screaming,” a U.S. government warming-alarmist scientist famously stated in 2010. It turns out this may be true, but what it’s saying is, “I’m freezing!”

In fact, in yet another refutation of the man-caused global-warming (AGW) narrative — and contrary to alarmist predictions — Arctic ice is poised to be its thickest in a generation.

It was in 1975 that Newsweek, reflecting contemporary reportage, ran the story “The Cooling World.” As a young child at the time, I remember the coming-ice-age warnings and, frankly, they were scary. Sure, I loved sledding and snowball fights, but the prospect of living on Snowball Earth wasn’t too appealing.

But sometime later the climate diviners transitioned to doomsayer predictions about global warming.

Mis(Thanks)givings: Mourning in America to the Holiday Haters

By Selwyn Duke

How did you enjoy your Thursday mourning? No, that’s not a typo, but exactly how some people today characterize our Thanksgiving observance.

At a website called Common Dreams, one Krissy Stroop, a real party poop, wrote on Thanksgiving Day itself that in “a period of rising nationalism, teaching American schoolchildren to play parts in an imperialist and whitewashed pageantry is deeply troubling”; she further complained that the holiday “is also inescapably associated with capitalism.” Even more blunt is the title “THANKSGIVING: A Day of Mourning,” found at AmericanIndianSource.com and penned by a man called Roy Cook (one would think his name should be Talking Bull). It’s all part of a larger effort by woke-wet-blanket holiday haters to effect a “Year Zero” erasure of American observances and Holy Days.

Now, never mind that all this is a bit like waiting for a special day honoring an octogenarian’s lifetime devotion to a certain field to give a speech about how crummy he is. The timing itself could be considered a hostile act; in fairness, though, the occasion of events does inspire talk about them. If only these wet blankets knew what they were talking about.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. And a thought for the day: 

G.K. Chesterton observed, "Thanks are the highest form of thought." This should place Thanksgiving, if we celebrate it rightly, among the highest form of events. 

God bless,

Leftist Group Issues its Number 666 and Finds There’s Hell to Pay

By Selwyn Duke

If a Christian group launched a fund-raising appeal and caught hell from its members after announcing that its average donation was $6.66, the leftist mockery would be intense. But it turns out that the Women’s March has its own “number of the devil” (though its Beelzebubs are relative and subject to change without notice). It learned this after trying desperately to raise money and informing that you don’t have to give much but that, as a guide, their average donation is currently $14.92.

If you don’t see the problem, you’re normal (though maybe not attuned to our societal devolution). But instead of saying “The average gift is fourteen dollars, 92 cents,” say “The average gift is fourteen-ninety-two” and the issue may become clear.

Yes, in 1492, Columbus assailed the land of the Sioux (sort of) — in the leftist way of “thinking.”

Apparently, this triggered the Women’s March donor base, prompting a satire-worthy but serious tweeted apology.

Waukesha Massacre, Courtesy of Your Friendly Neighborhood Democrats

By Selwyn Duke

What do you do with someone who has a rap sheet going back more than a generation, listing crimes such as drug possession, sex offenses, strangulation and suffocation, illegal firearm possession, resisting arrest, battery, and beating up and then running over the mother of one of his children?

If you say, release the person on a $1,000 bond to continue his predation, congratulations — you qualify to be Milwaukee County district attorney.

For this is precisely what the actual Milwaukee County district attorney, John Chisholm, did via his policies with respect to Darrell Brooks. Brooks is the man who drove his SUV into Waukesha, Wisconsin’s Christmas parade on Sunday, killing six people and injuring more than 60.

It was just last week that Brooks was arrested for using a vehicle to run down his baby momma....

Not Just Kyle: MANY Armed Men Protected Kenosha Last August — and They Had an OBLIGATION To

By Selwyn Duke

Lost in the propaganda surrounding Kyle Rittenhouse is something that would’ve put his August 25, 2020 actions in greater perspective:

Contrary to what mainstream media would have us believe, the teen wasn’t a lone wolf “vigilante” who took the unheard of measure of arming himself in the midst of Kenosha “protesters.” Rather, he was one of “countless men standing with baseball bats, handguns, semi-automatic rifles, and shotguns in front of their businesses and homes"....

Systemic Child Abuse: Giving Kids the Needle of Death

By Selwyn Duke

“Do it for the children.” Oh, how many times have we heard this appeal over the years uttered in service of suspect causes? But what the leftists who wore out that line are now doing for the children — or to the children, to be precise — is perhaps the latest example of an underappreciated phenomenon: systemic child abuse. 

We hear much about “systemic racism.” Social-sphere robber barons (e.g., Attorney General Merrick Garland’s son-in-law) make millions peddling Critical Race Theory to schools, and demagogues use “systemic racism” to leverage political power. Yet systemic child abuse has a quality systemic racism doesn’t:

It’s actually real. 

It takes many forms, too: telling children they can become the opposite sex, exposing them to lewd material, forcing health-damaging masks on them, targeting them with racial propaganda, and killing unborn babies and then using their body parts for experimentation. Perhaps the most recent form is another type of experimentation: compelling children to take COVID-19 genetic-therapy agents (GTAs, aka “vaccines”) to “protect” against a disease imperiling them not a whit. 

This is no exaggeration. The GTA push has assumed the character of a (false) religious cause, with Branch COVIDian pseudo-elites forging on ahead with mass “vaccination” plans in defiance of all reason.
