Glenn Beck Warns: Islamist Ideology Is a Clear and Present Danger

By Selwyn Duke

Here’s a good question:

What’s the point in sending the military to the Mideast to defend the West while also bringing the Mideast to the West?

One man who may nod approvingly at this question is commentator Glenn Beck. After all, in 1999 he predicted blood in Manhattan’s streets within 10 years — authored by Osama bin Laden. And now he’s again warning of a “green-red alliance” of Muslim jihadists and Marxist extremists working “hand in hand.” Oh, they are those strange bedfellows politics will make, as they have a shared goal.

Both groups aim to destroy the West.

Left-wing Activists Live It Up in Havana and Support Commies While Cuban People Suffer

By Selwyn Duke

Some used to call them “limousine liberals.” Late Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov might have branded them “useful idiots.” Now perhaps they can be dubbed Five-star Faustians. Hundreds of left-wing activists from the United States, Latin America, and Europe traveled to Havana, Cuba, last Wednesday and over the weekend to, as they put it, deliver aid and “show solidarity with the Cuban people.” They’ve come under fire, however, as some have lived lavishly at five-star hotels while average Cubans suffer.

Of course, the best thing they could do for Cuba is encourage a transition from Marxism to economic freedom. But this won’t happen, as these activists are sympathetic to socialism/communism. Put differently, they’ll occasionally administer symptomatic treatment for political reasons (they’re against President Donald Trump’s sanctions). But they support the underlying disease that keeps the Cuban people perpetually sick.

Yes, We Can, Brandon Johnson — Jail Our Way to a Safe Country

By Selwyn Duke

“We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence,” stated Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson recently.

Actually, we can.

So might say a retired police detective who has witnessed the phenomenon firsthand.

And, no, this doesn’t require locking up 15 million Americans. All that’s necessary, says Mike McDaniel, that ex-cop-turned commentator, is delivering a surgical strike.

Eat the Rich? Will Wealth Taxes Buttress or Bust Dem-state Budgets?

By Selwyn Duke

“The trouble with socialism,” said late British leader Margaret Thatcher, “is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” Socialism also, one might add, can make the people with money run out.

This is a concern, too, with proposed and already-instituted “wealth taxes” on millionaires and billionaires. Yet there’s a reason leftists aren’t backing off from these measures.

That is, from their perspective, they appear to be “working.”

Failing Calif. School District Spends $610K for Black Kids to Learn Rap

By Selwyn Duke

The Merced City School District isn’t exactly killing it — unless, that is, what it’s killing are its students’ academic fortunes. Only about 22 percent of its pupils are proficient at math, just 35 percent at reading. Black kids in the majority Hispanic California district are doing considerably worse still, too. So in response, you might expect its education officials to emphasize discipline and the three R’s.

Instead, they’ve spent $610,000 teaching black students how to rap.

Moreover, while the program is supposedly designed to eradicate “hate and ignorance,” its rap “take[s] direct aim at white patriarchy.”

Ask the Experts — and Get Guided Toward Destruction?

By Selwyn Duke

Vaccinated people “do not carry the virus, [and] don’t get sick” said then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky in 2021. She also implied that they couldn’t transmit Covid. The CDC had to walk her “expert” claims back mere days later. As we now know, “vaccinated” people could contract and spread the virus.

Of course, you could always mask up, a preventative recommended even for children by CNN medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen. But then she changed her tune — after she stunted her own little son’s “language development” by masking him.

This was nothing, though, compared to prominent psychologist Dr. John Money, who boasted a Ph.D. from Harvard. He originated “gender neutrality” theory, which held that newborns could be raised successfully as either sex (with proper medical interventions). Unfortunately for a Canadian family named the Reimers, they listened to this “expert” — and both their sons’ lives were destroyed.

Want to Be “More Like Europe,” Dems? Institute Voter ID

By Selwyn Duke

For years we’ve heard from a certain population segment and ideological set that we should, essentially, be “more like Europe.” We should have Europe’s nationalized healthcare. We should have Europe’s gun-control laws. We should have Europe’s taxation. We should have Europe’s environmental regulations. But the one way in which we could be and should be like Europe, the very same people recoil at.

That is, requiring voter ID.

James Talarico: Charismatic Leftist RADICAL Leads GOP in Texas

By Selwyn Duke

Will Texas have its own Zohran Mamdani or AOC in the Senate in less than a year? It’s possible — if early polls are any guide.

Whatever the case, the man in question, Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, is the Mamdani west of the Pecos. He’s young, attractive, has an easy smile, and is oh-so smooth a speaker who can talk chicken off the bone.

He also has claimed that whites spread the “virus” of racism, there are “six sexes,” God is “nonbinary,” “our ‘trans’ community needs abortion care,” we should have a “world without prisons,” our southern border should be “like our front porch” with a “giant welcome mat,” and we should eat less meat to fight climate change.

Well, they do say “Everything is bigger in Texas” — even the woke extremism, apparently.

The Lord Voldemort of Terror Threats Must Be Named

By Selwyn Duke

A huge study out of Germany, released in 2010 but now mostly forgotten, provided a serious point to ponder. After researching 45,000 youths, it found that with increasing religiosity Christian young people became less violent. But Muslim youths became, with increasing religiosity, more violent.

My, even a relativist could get the nagging and nauseating feeling that maybe, just perhaps, not all religions are the same, after all.

Britain’s Cultural Kowtowing to Alien Transplants Is Truly Extraordinary

By Selwyn Duke

Tradition is, noted philosopher G.K. Chesterton, “democracy extended through time.” It also is something else: under assault in the West. And Britain, in particular, is going nuclear on its time-honored and -dictated traditions.

In fact, it seems every week there’s another story about how the U.K. is trashing its culture. This is, too, say critics, a result of an unholy alliance between leftists and a foreign culture: the Islamic one.

Consider, for example, the Bank of England’s recent announcement that it will be removing Winston Churchill from its £5 note. Churchill, of course, is arguably one of Britain’s greatest statesmen, credited with helping defeat the Nazis during WWII.
