Kamalush? Rumor: VP Harris Has a Serious Drinking Problem

By Selwyn Duke

Kamala Harris is known among many for word salads, bizarre cackling, odd bodily movements during speeches and, in recent times, refusal to do press conferences and interviews. Most had chalked this behavior up to incompetence and lacking ability, too. But now another explanation has come to light:

Harris, a rumor holds, has a serious alcohol problem.

In fact, relates one observer, sources close to the candidate “suggest that her aides are struggling to manage her sobriety.” This explains her schedule of limited “pre-arranged rallies” and why she often “appears intoxicated upon disembarking from flights.”

It would also explain something else: Harris’s reportedly erratic, abusive behavior toward staff. This includes berating underlings, continual profanity and, bizarrely, forbidding junior staff from looking her in the eye. As someone I know mentioned, this prohibition makes sense if Harris’s eyes reflect inebriation, being bloodshot, glossy, and vacant.

By the way, the information about Harris’s boss-from-Hell status comes from a longtime Democrat.

Failure Femmes: DEI’s Tragic Destruction of Law Enforcement

By Selwyn Duke

It was 10 years ago already that the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally. Female applicants, they said, should not have to meet the same already dumbed-down physical standards the men do. This mentality, epitomized by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) schemes, has long reigned all across law enforcement — and beyond. The consequences are now apparent, too:

Many women in law enforcement are failing miserably and are imperiling others in the process.

Tim Walz Wouldn’t Fight for His Country — He Did Fight Against Its History

By Selwyn Duke

Presumptive vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz (D-Minn.) might’ve fiddled while Minneapolis burned and skedaddled when Iraq duty called, but he sure didn’t waver when it came to fighting a woke battle: changing his state’s supposedly non-inclusive flag.

Four-star General of Destroying History

In fact, while Walz might’ve never been the “Command Sergeant Major” he’s claimed to be for political gain, he sure is the four-star general of destroying history, say critics.

Coddling Kamala: Media Now Want “Female Politicians” Protected From “Hate Speech”

By Selwyn Duke

Lest you think our mainstream media are inveterate enemies of tradition, know that their opposition to it is selective. In fact, they now appear to want chivalry applied to female politicians, in the form of protecting them from negative social-media comments.

“Don’t hit girls!” is what’s essentially being said.

Perhaps coincidentally, too, this concern apparently arose after Kamala Harris became the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee. Why, a cynic could think this is all driven by a desire to help get her elected.

(Good thing there are no cynics here at The New American.)

Ivy League Student Organization Aims for “Total Eradication of Western Civilization”

By Selwyn Duke

“Hey hey, ho ho, Western Civ has got to go” chanted racial agitator Jesse Jackson and 500 demonstrators back at Stanford University in 1987. As with a cancer left untreated, too, it didn’t end there but metastasized. And whether it’s now stage 3 or stage 4, where we currently are is well exemplified by a shocking story out of Columbia University:

One-hundred sixteen different groups there, all part of a coalition, are united in a goal — “We are Westerners,” they write, “fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization.”

Raising Narcissists? New Parenting Advice: DON’T Tell Kids to Apologize

By Selwyn Duke

With narcissists being known for their stubborn refusal to apologize, some parenting advice gaining traction today could make a person wonder:

Will narcissism be the wave of the future?

VP Candidate Tim Walz Does NOT Believe in Free Speech

By Selwyn Duke

Is the title of this article “misinformation”? Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.) certainly would say so. Many observers say the opposite, though, with Walz having stated in a recently unearthed interview that there’s “no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech.” His defenders would aver here, however, “That’s taken out of context!”

That’s the rub, too, isn’t it?

Ferreting out the Truth is often difficult. And this is precisely why we have a First Amendment that does not prohibit “hate speech” or misinformation: What’s “hate speech” now may be considered constructive criticism later.

And today’s “misinformation” may be tomorrow’s axiomatic observation.

No, I’m not getting relativistic — just realistic.

Brit Child Killer “Misinfo”: Amid Riots, Truth Swept Under the Rug?

By Selwyn Duke

One thing riots, such as the ones currently roiling Britain, are good for is serving as a distraction. For example, consider what we know — and are not being told — about what sparked the unrest: the murders of three little girls and injuring of 10 others at a Southport, U.K., dance class last Monday.

We’ve seen much hand wringing over misinformation about the killer, 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, about how he was incorrectly identified on social media as a Muslim asylum seeker. In reality, authorities told us, he was born in Britain to Christian Rwandan immigrants. Alright, fair enough. But all the focus on the Right-wing™, Racist™ riots has distracted us from an elephant in the room: Where’s the rest of the information about Rudakubana?

In particular, why no news about his motive?

We’re “Going Bankrupt,” Warns Musk: In June, 76% of Income Taxes Went to Finance the Debt

By Selwyn Duke

“Neither a borrower nor a lender be,” wrote William Shakespeare in Hamlet. If the U.S. government had taken this age-old advice, we perhaps wouldn’t be in a dire financial situation epitomized by a shocking statistic:

In June, 76 percent of all personal income tax revenue was needed to pay interest on our $35 trillion national debt.

This helps clarify why, with the federal government having become a legalized counterfeiting operation, more than 80 percent of all the dollars in existence have been printed just since 2020. The bottom line?

Media Flips Script: Olympic Boxing Controversy is About Pro-white Bias

By Selwyn Duke

When then-18-year-old South African runner Caster Semenya was dusting female competition in races and arousing suspicion about “her” sexual status almost a generation ago, I made a prediction:

Medical tests would determine that Semenya had internal testes.

Sure enough, this was the case, examination results showed upon coming to light. Furthermore, Semenya was found to have an XY (male) genotype and also no womb or ovaries.

You wouldn’t know it, though, from recent years’ reporting, with outlets merely describing the runner as having “naturally elevated levels of testosterone.” Well, yes, hermaphroditism is not normal — but it is “natural.”

Now there’s a similar controversy surrounding Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif, especially after one of the fighter’s opponents, Italian Angela Carini, quit in her bout against Khelif, exclaiming “This is unjust!” Only, now, defenders of willful blindness have a new strategy: the race card. As the Associated Press put it yesterday: “For female athletes of color, scrutiny around gender rules and identity is part of a long trend.” Perhaps — so is media misdirection.
