Anti-Motherhood Crew Marches on as Western Peoples Disappear

By Selwyn Duke

Westerners are disappearing, plagued by fertility rates that, unless something changes, will send them the way of the dinosaurs. Despite this, the anti-motherhood agenda marches on, with the latest example being a “regretting motherhood” debate raging in Germany.

The debate is said to have been sparked by Israeli sociologist Orna Donath, who published a 2015 work called Regretting Motherhood. It relates the testimonials of just 23 women who,writes the AFP’s Coralie Febvre, “love their own kids but would, truth be told, prefer not to have had them.” Febvre calls the sociologist’s work a “study,” even though slightly fewer than two dozen subjects is hardly a scientific sample. Donath doesn’t seem driven by scientific curiosity, however, but instead by what many would interpret as a desire to justify oneself: She was tired “of hearing that she ‘would regret’ not having a child,” Febvre relates.

Febvre begins by asking, “Is it possible to regret becoming a mother?” But that’s the wrong question. A mafia hit man might regret not having whacked someone in '87; a prolific philanderer might regret not having seduced another 50 women. People can regret most anything. The real question is: Are they regretting the right things?

Elite vs. the Street: More Americans Favor Trump’s Temporary Muslim Immigration Ban

By Selwyn Duke

Donald Trump’s proposed moratorium on Muslim immigration certainly isn’t a unique idea. Dr. Mudar Zahran, a Muslim refugee living in Europe, warned in an interview last October that Muslim migrants should be kept out of Europe. Nor is it close to the most extreme idea recently voiced; that title belongs to a Samoan proposal to ban Islam itself. And now it’s clear that it’s also a mainstream idea in the United States, with polls showing that Americans have come to favor a temporary ban on Muslim immigration.

While Trump’s proposal has long been a winner with GOP primary voters, it initially was greeted with skepticism by the general electorate. For example, three days after Trump announced it, “the Wall Street Journal released a poll that found 57 percent of Americans objected to the proposed Muslim ban. Just 25 percent of those polled supported Trump’s plan at the time,” reports theDaily Caller. Yet while different polls have painted somewhat different pictures, one thing is clear: As time has worn on and Americans have heard news of one jihadist attack after another, support for the immigration moratorium has steadily increased.

Missing the Point on the “Transgender” Bathroom Wars

By Selwyn Duke

“You fundamentally can't change sex…. Transsexualism was invented by psychiatrists,” said former “transsexual” Alan Finch in 2004. This is a truth; however, it has not stopped the advocates of an invented status from trying to change society. And if conservatives want to preserve sanity, they need to change their arguments.

Recent times have seen a growing number of leftist bathroom dictates, such as the unconstitutional Obama administration directive instructing schools to allow students to use the opposite sex’s facilities if they so desire. In response, conservatives have stated that the real problem is not having a made-up-sex-status (MUSS) man using women’s bathrooms, but that sexual predators will use an I’m-really-a-woman ruse to indulge their perversion. This is a valid argument — one that should be made.  Nonetheless, it is not the main problem with the MUSS agenda.

Gun-registry-loving Obama Security Advisor Refused to “Record another Muslim”

By Selwyn Duke

"A Muslim doesn’t record another Muslim," said Gamal Abdel-Hafiz (shown). This might not have been noteworthy except that Abdel-Hafiz was an FBI agent at the time and was refusing to do his duty, which at that moment involved taping a Muslim suspect.

That was 2002, and this is now. And now the Cairo-born Abdel-Hafiz has moved on to bigger and perhaps better things — he’s a homeland-security advisor to Barack Obama. And while recording a single Muslim is a problem for him, putting every single American firearm owner on a gun-registry he fancies a good idea.

Two-brain-cell Hillary Strikes Again

By Selwyn Duke

Barack Obama has often been mocked for, even in situations where most might speak extemporaneously, reading from a Teleprompter. But it turns out that Hillary Clinton can't even do that.

While criticizing Donald Trump in a speech, Clinton reached a point where her Teleprompter had a "sigh" cue in parentheses; that's how scripted she is. But it wasn't scripted enough for her.

Instead of actually sighing, she paused and then read the word "sigh." The video is below. 

 Yes, this is definitely the two-brain-cell wonder we need at our nation's helm. 

School of Selwyn: The Price of Political Correctness

There's a price to be paid for everything in life — even political correctness. And sometimes that price is paid in blood.

AR-15 Speaks! A New — and Real — Anti-black Bigotry

By AR-15 and Selwyn Duke

Hi, my name is AR-15. Some of you know me, but many more of you know of me — through the media. But you may not know the real me.

I’m that cool, sleek-looking black gun you’ve seen profiled by the press. They put me in newspapers and on TV, showing my picture as if it’s a mug shot, even though I’ve never committed a crime. Oh, bad people have at times used (and abused) me to do bad things, but not really that often; as even The New York Times admitted in 2014, firearms such as me — which that paper and others call “assault weapons” — are only used in two percent of gun crimes (most are perpetrated with handguns).

Shocking: Veteran Forcibly Hauled Away for Mentioning God

By Selwyn Duke

Upon hearing about a military veteran hauled away by soldiers for mentioning God, you might expect the story to be out of Shanghai, Beijing, or Tianjin. But the incident in question today is all the more outrageous because it occurred here in the USA — at Travis Air Force Base near Fairfield, California.

Correction! 2012 Study Showed Conservatives Are More Authoritarian? Actually, Not Really

By Selwyn Duke

It was exactly what the mainstream media wanted to report: a study purporting to show that conservatives are more likely than liberals to exhibit authoritarian traits and “psychoticism,” which researchers said amounted to being “uncooperative, hostile, troublesome,… socially withdrawn, [and] manipulative.”

Except that the study actually showed precisely the opposite.

And in January — four years after the study was conducted — the researchers issued what Powerline recently called “The Epic Correction of the Decade.”

Philadelphia Gun-range Owner: Daily News Reporter Kuntzman Misrepresented AR-15 Interview

By Selwyn Duke

There was no guarantee Frank Stelmach would talk to me. The owner of Double Tap Shooting Range and Gun Shop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he’d been featured in an anti-AR-15 article written by Gersh Kuntzman (shown) of New York’s Daily News. And Stelmach sounded none too happy hearing from yet another journalist. “It would be nice if journalists would write what you actually say!” complained Stelmach on the phone. Concerned that this once-bitten, twice-shy man might hang up on me, I quickly chimed in, “I’m pro-gun. I’m on the other side.” Stelmach then asked, “How can I know you’re really pro-gun?” I offered to send him a number of my Second Amendment-oriented articles, and he later was kind enough to speak to me.

Stelmach was right to be wary. In the wake of the horrible Orlando massacre — in which an “AR-15-type rifle” (it was a Sig Sauer MCX, to be precise) as the media put it, was used by Muslim terrorist Omar Mateen — the Daily News has been front and center agitating against such weapons (The paper’s June 13 cover, referring to the Orlando massacre, shamelessly read “THANKS, NRA”). And it appears that Kuntzman misrepresented the gun-shop owner’s words, though perhaps not nearly as much as the News has misrepresented the firearms.
