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

    “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

    “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”?

    The warning that there’s an “enemy within” certainly is not new. The description was used, for example, in 19th-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.”

    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”

    A Native American man in traditional clothing and feathered headdress sits with a rifle, while a woman in a brown dress seated nearby interacts with him in front of a teepee.

    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

    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.

  • Graham Platner’s Gone, but Does He Merely Reflect Democratic Party Values?

    A political campaign poster featuring a man with a beard smiling in front of an American flag, with bold text promoting his candidacy and provocative statements.

    In 2006, it emerged that then-congressman Mark Foley (R-Fla.) had sent sexually explicit texts to a male congressional page. This made a continued career in GOP politics untenable, and he resigned from office the very next day.

    In 1989, it was revealed that a male prostitution/call-boy operation was being run out of the D.C. apartment of then-congressman and open homosexual Barney Frank (D-Mass.). Its “madam” was a male escort with whom the politician had a relationship. Frank didn’t resign, ever. Perhaps he knew his Democratic constituency would continue reelecting him — which they did, until his 2013 retirement a generation later.

    In 2016, a Democratic operative and vote fraudster named Scott Foval was caught making an admission on hidden camera. “There is a level of adherence to rules on the other side [Republicans],” he confessed, “that only when you’re at the very highest level, do you get over.”

  • Leftists’ “Land Acknowledgments”: If the Land is Stolen, When Will They Return It?

    A wide field of green wheat with a clear blue sky and fluffy white clouds.

    By Selwyn Duke

    The process of making things right is simple: First you acknowledge wrongdoing. Next you show remorse. Then, finally, there’s the last step: reparation — you make the aggrieved “whole.” That third part is pretty important. If you happen to “skip” it, one may wonder if you were sincere about the first two parts at all.

    This can come to mind with “land acknowledgments.” These are statements, delivered before events, confessing that the land the venue sits on actually belonged to some Indian tribe. As to what’s implicit in this, Canadian comedian Danny Polishchuk had an interesting take last year.
