Fancy Vegetarian, Value-signaling Manhattan Restaurant Has “Secret” MEAT Room for Mega-rich

By Selwyn Duke

This is rich — and meaty, too.

Chef Daniel Humm very proudly and visibly announced in May that his high-end Manhattan restaurant, Eleven Madison Park, would emerge from its COVID closure with an entirely plant-based menu. “The way we have sourced our food, the way we’re consuming our food, the way we eat meat — it is not sustainable,” he told NPR at the time.

What he didn’t tell the outlet is that he’d still have what has been called a “secret” meat room for the pseudo-elites.

Humm certainly claimed to be going whole veggie hog. While you’d still be able to get milk and honey for your coffee, his restaurant was not just eliminating meat, but fish, too. Its price tag of more than three Franklins was staying the same, though.

Yet if Clara Peller (of Wendy’s commercial fame) were resurrected to ask “Where’s the beef?!” Eleven Madison Park’s richest patrons would know.

Pseudo-elites Upset About Hungary’s “LGBT” Law and Immigration Opposition

By Selwyn Duke

Before the Sexual Devolution and immigrationist agenda, every knee must bend. That seems to be the message of the European Union’s pseudo-elites, who are upset about a pro-sexual-virtue law in Hungary and the country’s refusal to be balkanized. Yet the Hungarians are firm in their resolve.

This was made clear in a recent interview granted to the Associated Press by the nation’s foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto. In fact, there are even murmurings that Hungary, along with political bedfellow Poland, may leave the EU, with a Polish statesman saying this month that EU overlords had to be fought as were “past Nazi and Soviet occupiers.”

Hungary’s sexuality oriented law is known as the “Anti-Pedophilia Act.” It prohibits the “promotion of homosexuality” or the so-called transgender phenomenon (the Made-up Sexual Status, or MUSS, agenda) to people less than 18 years old; this means that advertisements showcasing homosexuality or a MUSS may not be shown if they’re considered to be aimed at minors.

The law also mandates that school sex-education may only be taught by government-approved instructors.

This has inspired EU ire, with the Tolerance Crew wholly unwilling to tolerate deviation from their deviance.

Regulations Are STOPPING Doctors From Treating COVID — and People Are Dying

By Selwyn Duke

It’s an all-too-common story. A teen I know currently has COVID-19 and is fairly sick. After an emergency-room examination yesterday, he was released from the hospital and he and his mother were simply told, “There’s no treatment protocol for COVID.”

Actually, there are effective treatments for COVID.

But they’re not officially sanctioned treatments — hence are doctors, hamstrung by labyrinthine regulations, refusing to administer them for fear of career destruction. In other words, bureaucracy is killing people on a massive scale.

The details of this story were recently revealed by a retired physician who provides a depressing, and seldom-heard, peek behind the curtain.

School Board Members Must be ARRESTED for Child Pornography, Warns Writer

By Selwyn Duke

Here’s a question: Given that you could be arrested and charged for showing minors certain images readily available in some school libraries, what should happen to the people responsible for their availability in those school libraries? One writer knows where she stands.

“It’s time to start arresting school board members for child pornography,” she unabashedly proclaims.

Raising this issue is a shocking story out of Fairfax, Virginia.

“Woke” ESPN Now Choosing Football Broadcasts Based on Skin Color

By Selwyn Duke

ESPN just had in July the lowest ratings ever in its 41-year history, but this hasn’t stopped the network from dealing with its woke-joke status by doubling down. Its latest fumble is to apply affirmative action to the gridiron and broadcast football games based on skin color.

This pigskin prejudice takes the form of a new partnership between ESPN and members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC); these entities comprise historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and these schools will now get national coverage in more than 100 games this season. It’s a move that the Federalist states “is dividing the sport of football.”

Yet there’s an irony to forcing popular, nationally ranked teams to share the stage with affirmative-action (AA) choices.

Report: Mask Mandates Correlate With GREATER COVID Spread/Death

By Selwyn Duke

Perhaps a clue is that the politicians who insist on instituting mask mandates are shown, repeatedly, to not be too fond of actually wearing masks themselves. But whether they know better or just believe they are better, here’s reality: At best, mask mandates do nothing to reduce society-level coronavirus spread.

At worst, they lead to greater COVID-19 transmission and death.

The latest case in point is Oregon, where a month ago Democrat governor Kate Brown instituted a totalitarian mask mandate.

A Horror Story About One of Soviet America’s Jan. 6 Political Prisoners

By Selwyn Duke

Call “it Oceania in 1984 or the Soviet Union in 1965. It doesn't matter.”

“The one thing it isn't anymore is America 1776.”

So laments one writer talking about the story of a political prisoner. It’s a story most Americans haven’t heard and some Americans wouldn’t believe. But it’s all too true — and what it portends for our nation is terrifying.

If the United States now may have political prisoners as did the Soviets, it’s then not surprising that it also has a Soviet-like media. Hence the mischaracterization of the January 6 trespassing incident, which we’ve known from the beginning was just that. No “Stop the Steal” protesters were charged with “insurrection” or “sedition,” precisely because authorities realize that such charges are fanciful. No firearms were seized from those entering the Capitol building (one pistol was found on an arrestee on Capitol grounds), nor any other weapons to the best of my knowledge. And the only person violently killed was an unarmed, 5’2” woman named Ashli Babbitt, shot by a cop with a history of incompetence.

What’s more, recently released video — which the DOJ attempted to keep from the public — shows the protesters milling around inside the Capitol building looking not like terrorists but tourists, literally. Why, you might even say it was an “impressive show of democracy in action.”

That is, if you were like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Academia’s Big Brother COVID Bureaucracy Will Soon Move “Off Campus” and Control YOU

By Selwyn Duke

Unlike Las Vegas, what happens in college doesn’t stay in college. In fact, contrary to the assurances of those once saying that “woke” students would change when hitting the “real world,” it has long been apparent that they actually change that world and make it more unreal. This is why, says one journalist, it’s terrifying that academia is now inuring students to full-bore COVID Ritual — and that many young people support the unscientific restrictions.  

In his article, Michael Tracey makes a couple of rarely heard points relating to why not just COVID, but COVID Ritual, may be here to stay. For starters and aside from more nefarious reasons to perpetuate coronavirus restrictions, changing course would require a “paradigm shift” in thinking on the disease. Second, the tremendous China virus “infrastructure” — a lot of money is being made off SARS-CoV-2 scientific obscurantism — won’t be dismantled anytime soon.

Everything Is Bigger in Texas — Even the Anti-life Lunacy

By Selwyn Duke

“We like to think that we’re quite close to the ancient world, that they were really just like us,” said Oxford ancient history lecturer Josephine Quinn in 2014, talking about Carthaginian infant sacrifice. The “truth is,” she continued, “that they really weren’t.” 

While true that even some contemporary cultures (e.g., the Taliban) are alien to us, never mind B.C.-era, North African pagans, we may have a bit more in common with the Carthaginians than the academic thinks. Those ancients, after all, sacrificed babies because they wanted better lives. The common explanation for their bloody habit, said Quinn, was “that the gods ‘heard my voice and blessed me.’” Today’s infant sacrifice is likewise driven by a desire for “better lives,” though the god worshiped isn’t Ba’al Hammon but materialism, hedonism, and “self-ism.”
