Democratic Candidate Wants MAGA Members Burnt to Ashes? If So, She’s Not Alone
Shelly Headen The News & Observer/X
By Selwyn Duke
Call it a somewhat different version of Zohran Mamdani’s “warmth of collectivism.” Candidate Shelly Headen, a North Carolina Democrat seeking a state House seat, believes that Trump supporters belong in death-camp crematoria. And that’s not all.
Headen has also called for an attack on United States soil. This should “preferably” happen in “Alabama, Louisiana,” she wrote — “where the stupid people live.”
Whether they’d be stupid enough to post such comments while harboring political ambitions, Headen didn’t say.
The kicker: The candidate has boasted on her campaign page that she’s “running to restore human decency.”
School Secretly “Transitions” Girl, Parents Object — State Then Abducts the Girl
By Selwyn Duke
Try this on for size: Massachusetts law restricts cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Part of the justification for this, they say, is avoiding “family separation.” Yet the same state has just separated a family — stealing a daughter from her parents. And why?
After the girl’s school “socially transitioned” her without her parents’ knowledge or consent, the devout Catholic couple objected. In thrall to “transgender” ideology, Massachusetts then kidnapped the girl, insisting that her “transition” must be supported.
In other words, it’s problematic to transition an illegal alien back to his home country. But you must “transition” your daughter into a boy if she suffers from the delusion she should be male. (This is despite such a transformation’s impossibility.)
The kicker: Massachusetts reportedly is now seeking court approval to give the girl high-dose testosterone. This would, of course, permanently distort her femininity and cause irreparable harm.
Lindsay Clancy Et Al.: Are Women “Children of a Larger Growth”?
Image created with Grok AI.

“How do you write women so well?” novelist Melvin Udall was asked in the 1997 film As Good as It Gets. “I think of a man,” he replied, “and I take away reason and accountability.” This comes to mind while pondering the Lindsay Clancy situation.
Oh, I’m not currently editorializing on whether she had a psychotic break when brutally killing her three little ones. What I find more interesting, as I often do, is a bigger picture. It relates to a line from a letter Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, wrote to his son in 1748. To wit:
“Women … are only children of a larger growth…”
I know, he was a “dead white male” opining when America was still a colony. But here’s the thing:
This is precisely how many men and women treat females today: as “children of a larger growth.”
Sweden Has Been Moving From Immigration to Remigration. Will Sunday’s Election Restart the Deluge?
By Selwyn Duke
In 2015, Sweden had the highest (im)migration rate in Europe relative to population. The country became infamous, with stories about failed assimilation, Muslim-controlled “no-go zones,” and immigrationist persecution of nationalists. But then the worm began turning. For almost the first half of 2024 (through May), the nation actually had more emigration than immigration. This resulted from an attitudinal change that had vaulted the anti-immigrationist Sweden Democrats (SD) to influence in 2022.
But there was just another election on Sunday — and, for the first time, the SD lost ground. And why?
“Trans” Molestation in Girls’ Wrestling. Can We Thank the Feminists?
By Selwyn Duke
“The end goal of feminist revolution must be … not just the elimination of male privilege,” wrote feminist Shulamith Firestone in 1970, “but of the sex distinction itself.”
“Genital differences between human beings,” she added, “would no longer matter culturally.”
Firestone doesn’t get much credit for it, but her standard became feminist dogma for decades. Beginning in the 1980s and continuing a bit beyond 2010 perhaps, the doctrine was this:
The sexes are the same except for the superficial physical differences; therefore, if you raise boys and girls identically, they will end up identical in inclination and capacity.
This dogma’s intensity was related well by a story contrarian feminist Camille Paglia once related. Other feminists would corner her on college campuses in the ’70s, she said, glaring at her over her dissenter status. They’d then insist that hormones didn’t even exist — and, even if they did, they couldn’t possibly influence human behavior.
From this sameness doctrine grew the idea, “A woman can do anything a man can — and maybe better!” Why, this was even applied to sports. The feminists claimed that females lagged behind males only because they hadn’t had “as much chance to develop themselves athletically.” Give them time, they insisted, and women would equal or even surpass men. Exaggeration?
Matt Walsh: “Feminism … Is the Most Destructive Movement in Human History”
By Selwyn Duke
“Great social revolutions are impossible without the feminine ferment,” wrote infamous communism co-founder Karl Marx in 1868. Interestingly, too, it was a convention in 1848, the same exact year Marx’s Communist Manifesto was published, that’s often cited as marking “first-wave” American feminism’s birth. So the ideology has been around a long time — some would say, too long.
Enter commentator Matt Walsh. “Feminism,” he told interviewer Benny Johnson Tuesday, “is the most destructive movement in human history.”
Musk Warns of Dem “Trans” Threat — and Is Opening a $100 Million Midterm Fight by Exposing It
By Selwyn Duke
Have the Democrats really transitioned from the radical party of just a few years ago to sanity? That’s certainly what the current marketing holds. Why, we’re supposed to believe Senate candidate James Talarico (D-Texas) has made that transition just during the last few months. But, warns billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, don’t be fooled: The Democrats haven’t changed their product — just the packaging.
In fact, they’re still as bent on changing children’s sexual packaging as they ever were, he says. And Musk is now going to spend $100-$120 million this election cycle, partly to sound that alarm. The bet is that while the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “trans”) issue isn’t a voter priority currently, campaign ads can raise awareness and drive virtue-oriented Americans to the polls.
It’s Called “Leftism” — but Is It Actually Something Far Darker Than Politics?
By Selwyn Duke
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law,” early-20th-century occultist Aleister Crowley infamously said. He was dubbed “the wickedest man in the world” at the time, but he had much competition. Communist Vladimir Lenin was an example, popularizing the formula “Who Whom?” This meant that politics is all about which class dominates which. Policies, treaties, and slogans were mere tactics inside that war; compromises were pauses, not principle or peace.
The New Criterion called this “Leninthink” in 2019. Others would say it’s something far more fundamental: pure evil. Whatever you label it, one thing is certain.
It lives on — and its ideological descendants are metastasizing like a cancer in our midst.
Many Young Democratic Women Hate Men. Not All the Reasons Why Are Obvious
By Selwyn Duke
“I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honorable and viable political act,” said Robin Morgan, a Ms. magazine editor and prominent “second-wave” feminist, in a 1973 speech. Morgan passed away just days ago, but her spirit not only lives on; it has metastasized. The evidence?
A new survey has found that a striking majority of young Democratic women blame men for their woes. Only a minority of Republican women feel likewise, however. Moreover, the percentage of young men who view women negatively is even lower. This all illustrates a reality, too:
There’s much talk today about how misogyny is supposedly rife in contemporary America.
CDC Fires a Shot — Hits Gun-grabbers’ Agenda Right Between the Eyes
By Selwyn Duke
It may be the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), but what it isn’t, at least not anymore, is the Centers for Gun Control. While the CDC did once fund anti-Second Amendment “research,” a 1996 law put an end to such advocacy. In later years the worm fully turned, with the agency actually telling the truth about American firearm use. And what truth is it telling currently?
It’s that, contrary to legacy-media myth, defensive firearm use is much more common than many suppose.
In fact, good Americans use guns for legitimate defensive purposes up to 2.5 million times per year.
