NYC May Elect a Mayor Who’s Just Like de Blasio — Only More So

By Selwyn Duke

Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. If you want to know what you get when you cross NYC mayor Bill de Blasio with Bolshevik-like billionaire George Soros, meet Maya Wiley, candidate to run the Big Apple. You mightn’t have heard of her. But you may now hear much as she has vaulted into second place in the city’s race to replace de Blasio, who, mercifully, is being term-limited out of office.

It’s not hard to understand Wiley’s appeal in this identity politics age. Is she female? Check. Non-white? Check. In a biracial marriage as is de Blasio? Check. She’s also, says commentator Thomas Lifson, another “progressive” who’s a “rich hypocrite.” So she’s collected many checks.

How far left is Wiley?

The Truth: Biden is Supposed to DENY HIMSELF Communion

By Selwyn Duke

Years ago, because my best friend had some Polish connections, I’d sometimes attend a “Polish” Catholic church in Brooklyn, New York City. Attendance was great enough so that some parishioners had to participate in Mass on the sidewalk, and they, at the appointed times, would kneel down on the pavement as those inside the church knelt in their pews. But something else that occurred would’ve also been striking to too many American Catholics:

After the consecration, fully half the parish did not go up to receive Communion.

The reason why was that, unlike people such as Joe Biden and Ted Lieu, those parishioners take their faith seriously.

The Empire Strikes Back: DOJ Wants Courts to Overturn States’ Stands Against “Trans” Lunacy

By Selwyn Duke

It was only a matter of time. Reacting to the unscientific and harmful “transgender” agenda, a wave of states have passed laws banning boys claiming girlhood from competing in girls’ sports, while Arkansas has forbade medical professionals from offering puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or sexual-organ-mutilation surgery to minors. But now Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, upset at this challenge to the leftist agenda, is calling on the courts to overturn these state laws.

Parents’ Investigation Finds That Kids’ Face Masks Are Full of DANGEROUS Pathogens

By Selwyn Duke

If you think that mask you’re putting on your child is protecting his health, think again. Because an analysis of some kids’ masks in Florida has shown that they contained a host of dangerous pathogens despite having been new or freshly laundered and then worn for mere hours.

Oh, there was one pathogen the masks didn’t harbor: COVID.

Soviet America: Town Fires Teen Lifeguard for Opposing CRT

By Selwyn Duke

He was a lifeguard, but that didn’t save him from a society drowning in wokeness. In fact, 18-year-old Alex Katsnelson’s poolside job with his Vermont town’s parks and recreation department was just deep-sixed because he dared question pseudo-elite orthodoxy: He voiced opposition to Critical Race Theory (CRT).

It’s a prime example of how no one is safe from cancel culture. After all, if even a teen lifeguard can’t dissent and keep his position, who can?

Credentialed Morons vs. Merit

By Selwyn Duke

“Many of the great disasters of our time have been committed by experts,” Professor Thomas Sowell has observed. And the way was paved for this when we began preferring experts to wise men and forgot that being an “expert” should first mean being expert — not just being credentialed.

Idiocracy Cometh: Birds Carry a Racist Legacy, Says Washington Post

By Selwyn Duke

“Wokeness” is for the birds, critics might say. Except that this apparently isn’t true. For while we’ve heard of birds carrying messages and birds carrying diseases, our avian friends also allegedly carry something else: a “racist legacy.”

That’s according to the Washington Post, anyway. No, the problem isn’t that Tweety  gave half-black Sylvester fits or that the Roadrunner ever brought notably brown Wile E. Coyote to ruin (although the issue in both cases was furry-on-feathered crime). Rather, bird-brained white ornithologists are wringing their pasty hands red over “whether to change as many as 150 eponyms, names of birds that honor people with connections to slavery and supremacy,” writes WaPo.

“Idiocracy” Was a Movie — Now it’s 2021 America

A well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny,” noted Thomas Jefferson. It follows from this that if you want to visit tyranny upon a people, you can start by dumbing them down.

Ergo, 21st-century America.

AOC’s Aunt Reveals That Congresswoman Is Lying About Grandma and Trump

By Selwyn Duke

What do you call a person who won’t help a supposedly beloved relative, her grandmother, who’s in material need? While you could probably think of a number of names, there’s one thing we can certainly call a particular person thus guilty: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

It was a fairly big story some days ago when the Democrat New York congresswoman claimed that her grandmother, her “abuela,” in Puerto Rico was living in a broken-down home because President Trump failed to deliver the necessary aid. Following this announcement, conservative commentator Matt Walsh launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the grandmother and collected $110,000 in mere hours. Strikingly, AOC refused the money.

If this isn’t bad “optics,” what is? But it got even worse for the politician. The added attention inspired the Daily Mail to send a reporter to Puerto Rico on a fact-finding mission. The conclusion?

Grandma AOC does have problems; there’s a tarp over her house. But Trump had nothing to do with it.

In fact, a woman identified as AOC’s aunt said that the aid was given to Puerto Rico — it’s just not getting to the people.
