Starmer: Rape-gang-inquiry Goal “Far Right” Concern. Is Child Sex Abuse a Leftist “Lifestyle Choice” Now?

By Selwyn Duke

Philosopher C.S. Lewis once noted that it’s what slips from our mouths when we’re not thinking that reveals our hearts. This could come to mind with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s claim that those demanding an inquiry into child-abusing rape gangs are jumping “on a bandwagon of the far Right.”

Delivered at a Monday press conference, Starmer’s comments were in response to a firestorm of criticism ignited by entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk had resurrected the rape-gang story via his X social-media platform mere days ago, as I reported this weekend.

The prime minister’s efforts at flipping the script appear to have backfired, however. That is, many critics say that implicit in his remarks is that child sex abuse is just a right-wing concern. History may inform that he’s not all wrong about that, either (more on this later). Also notable here is that this controversy is shaping up to be a classic Establishment/anti-Establishment conflict.

Elon Musk Busts British Muslim Grooming Gang Cover-up Wide Open

By Selwyn Duke

It was a shocking revelation. U.K. authorities ignored a child-trafficking ring — and the beating, terrorizing, and sexual abuse of native British girls — for 16 years. It was for a very troubling reason, too:

The perpetrators were Muslim.

In fact, one whistleblower was actually warned, “You must never [again] refer to Asian [Muslim] men,” and your “awareness of ethnic issues” needs to be raised. Why, she was even forced into “diversity training.”

A New Year’s Resolution That Could Spark Revolution

By Selwyn Duke

It’s that season again, that time for New Year’s resolutions, when we put our minds to perhaps giving up junk food or engaging in regular exercise. Yet while this is all well and good, even better is to add to it the aim of purging the spiritual junk food of sin from one’s life and exercising virtue. And while the virtues are many, one that perhaps warrants some special attention is honesty.

British anthropologist Thomas Henry Huxley once stated that “veracity is the heart of morality.” It makes sense, too. Just as we can’t understand what is proper tennis instruction or medical care if we imbibe lies relating to the endeavor’s principles, how can we know what is proper morality if we’re subject to lies relating to it?

Ex-CBS Reporter: We Colluded With Dems in Faking Negative Impact of Gov’t Shutdowns

By Selwyn Duke

It could be Exhibit A for why people don’t trust government and the legacy media. Only, well, there are so many damning exhibits to choose from. The story?

We’ve heard much about “collusion,” such as the Trump/Russia-collusion hoax. But here’s a story of real collusion, from the people who gave us that hoax:

Years ago, CBS couldn’t find real-life negative impacts of a government “shutdown” that was taking place and which the Democrats were blaming on the Republicans. The solution?

Be party to the Democrats’ faking of a negative impact.

This bombshell was revealed, too, by a reporter who was with CBS at the time: Sharyl Attkisson.

Study: Democrat Men Cheat on Their Wives More — and Many Are OK With It

By Selwyn Duke

Ex-president Bill Clinton, who in 1998 said in response to questions about infidelity, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky” (even though he did), apparently isn’t alone among Democrats in having the morals of an alley cat. That’s what a new study shows, anyway.

The recently released research, from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), found that “Republican husbands, especially religious ones, are less likely to cheat on their wives than Democratic husbands,” the organization writes.

This isn’t the first time the IFS has discovered a Dem-Rep infidelity divide. In 2022, the organization studied women and found the same phenomenon. In 2017, it revealed such a gap between Democrats and Republicans in general. And related to this, the IFS discovered in 2015 that conservative counties have more stable families than Democratic counties do.

Of course, is this surprising? Would people who tout “situational values” and shades of gray have much regard for marriage vows?

Newsweek: “Biden’s ‘Preemptive Pardons’ Once Again Prove That the Democrats’ Accusations Are Confessions”

By Selwyn Duke

Are preemptive pardons the inverse of preemptive convictions? Sometimes, yes, because they can be equally unjust.

In the wake of Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son Hunter, something he said he would not do, we learned that Biden (his handlers, to be precise) is considering “preemptive pardons” for certain ex-government officials and administration allies. These include Dr. Anthony Fauci, the ex-bureaucrat responsible for much destructive Covid-19 policy; and Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and former representative Liz Cheney, who were party to Congress’ January 6 Committee shenanigans.

Of course, deep staters justify this by claiming that President Trump wants to persecute political opponents. Here’s what they don’t say:

Pardoning allies (partners in crime?) is a good way to ensure they won’t implicate you.

The Tapper-CNN/Maddow Lawsuits and the Dying Mainstream Media

By Selwyn Duke

The mainstream media may, collectively, be the most dangerous single worldly enemy our country faces. After all, it once was virtually all Americans’ only conduit of information and still serves that function for many. It’s as with a computer, too: garbage in, garbage out. And this lamentation is, essentially, what commentator Mike McDaniel issued in a recent article — in different words.

“To be sure, the media isn’t entirely responsible for the sad state of our representative republic,” he wrote. But “their contribution to our current tribulations is enormous and destructive.”

Oh, and garbage, masquerading as news, is at issue. As Elon Musk put it on X Monday:

Very common mistake to believe that the legacy media only lies about areas that you understand well.

No, they lie about everything.

NY Times: “Despicable” Media Bias Pushed Some Voters TOWARD Trump

By Selwyn Duke

“I was completely misinformed about what MAGA is.” So confessed Nicole Shanahan, the billionairess and entrepreneur who was Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s running mate, in an August interview. She’d been fooled by the portrayal of MAGA that “has been sold to a huge portion of America by the mainstream media,” she elaborated. She’s not alone, either. In fact, mainstream-media, anti-Trump, campaign-season bias had become so over-the-top that it actually pushed some undecided voters toward President-elect Trump. So discovered The New York Times while speaking, for months beginning in August, to a group of young undecided voters.

Imagine that: Overt and relentless bullying engenders sympathy for the victim.

Who’da thunk it?
