Heard About the European “Far Right”? How About Unicorns?

By Selwyn Duke

The side that defines the vocabulary of a debate, wins the debate. So goes the theme of an old book I’ve often cited, The Tyranny of Words. Examples would be if the media routinely called pro-gun-control people “anti-freedom” or pro-abortion individuals “pro-death.”

Mainstream journalists don’t do that, of course — but they do use corresponding language to describe conservatives. Just consider headlines about the recent European parliamentary elections:

Does the Bible Command Conservatives to Accept Illegal Migration?

By Selwyn Duke

With the Democrats controlling neither the presidency nor Congress and having largely failed to stop deportations via the courts, they’ve exhausted the political options for advancing their pro-illegal-migration agenda (at least for now). So they’re perhaps left grasping at straws.

Enter the religious option.

To wit: Many leftists are now citing the Bible to condemn deportations. The idea is that if you’re supporting illegals’ expulsion, why, you’re defying God, you irredeemable heathen.

France: Almost 150 Women at Music Festivals Attacked; Many Injected With Unknown Substances

By Selwyn Duke

It just keeps on getting more and more bizarre, life in the modern, “diversified” West. In recent years we’ve heard about knife, acid, and vehicular attacks in Europe and sometimes the United States. Now comes news that at least 145 music festival attendees, almost exclusively female, have been assaulted with syringes across France. This all happened on the same day, too, in what’s being called a “coordinated” attack. What’s more, it’s reported that many of the girls and women were injected with unknown substances. Also generally remaining unknown, curiously, are the identities and backgrounds of the suspects.

Florida Officials Gave Commercial Driver’s Licenses to Illegals; Arrests Made

By Selwyn Duke

Call them 18-wheeler and dealers — or just call them criminal and dangerous. But if you’re wondering why some semi-truck drivers today don’t seem very skilled and may not even speak English, wonder no more. Because, it has been revealed, some Florida officials were giving illegal aliens commercial driver’s licenses in exchange for bribes. This means, of course, that these migrants were circumventing the testing process and have no proven qualifications.

What’s more, the uncovered scheme centered around just one Sunshine State county. Similar scams are presumably operative in additional counties and other states — especially “blue” states with high illegal-alien populations.

Immigration Tyranny and Violence: What’s Really Happening in Northern Ireland?

By Selwyn Duke

Here’s a thought exercise: Imagine a substantial number of Europeans are being moved into some indigenous South Americans’ territory. Now imagine a percentage of them are “illegals” and, what’s more, that they’re given government-funded housing locals often can’t afford. Imagine, too, that this drives up rent further, making the housing even more inaccessible to the indigenous. Also imagine that “hate speech” laws ensure that if the locals complain about the injustice, they can be arrested. And then there’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back:

A few of these illegals sexually assault an indigenous girl.

Would it be surprising if this sparked a spasm of violence? (Note: This is not synonymous with asking, “Would such violence be moral?”)

If you say the above four “imagines” strain the imagination, perhaps they should. But you actually don’t have to imagine.

Study: In Germany, Foreign-born Muslim Women Are MORE Violent Than German Men

By Selwyn Duke

We’ve been told by our “betters,” in a variety of ways, that the (actually long-extinct) thing called the Western “patriarchy” imperils women. Why, the miniseries Adolescence instructs that what you really must fear, Karen, are cute little 13-year-old English boys. But new data out of Germany, relating to a recent-years crime spike, tell a different tale.

In fact, a reports finds, it’s not just that the crime increase isn’t the fault of native German men. Nor is it just that the country’s recent male imports are inordinately violent (though they are).

It’s that even foreign-born Muslim women (and some other female groups) are more violent than indigenous German men.

Nullification? Ignore Judge’s Immigration “Order,” Florida AG Tells State Law Enforcement

By Selwyn Duke

With “each decision … unabashedly based not on law,” the Court moves “one step closer to being reminded of [its] impotence,” warned late Justice Antonin Scalia in his Obergefell v. Hodges dissent (2015). Now, a decade later, the judiciary has just gotten a major reminder.

That is, an Obama-appointed activist judge recently “ordered” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier to halt a state immigration law’s enforcement. And the people-elected realist Uthmeier has responded, saying, in essence:

Go pound sand.

Constitutionally Granted Birthright Citizenship for Illegals? SCOTUS Says No

By Selwyn Duke

Imagine the following scenario: A pregnant woman goes into labor while passing your property and, in distress, stumbles onto your lawn. You take notice, offer aid, and EMT arrives and, with time short, she gives birth on the scene. Mother and baby turn out safe and healthy, though, and all’s well that ends well, right? Except for one thing.

You’re then told that because the infant was born on your land, he’s now a member of your household.

Ridiculous, I know. But, of course, this is analogous to the situation in the United States under our “birthright citizenship” standard, supposedly based on the 14th Amendment.

This issue has received much attention recently because President Donald Trump issued an executive order challenging birthright citizenship. The response has been predictable, too, with mainstream media pooh-poohing Trump’s position. They apparently endorse the status quo in which an illegal alien — or a calculating pregnant tourist traveling to our nation right before her due date — will give birth on our soil, and “voila!” The joke is on us: The child is a U.S. citizen.

But did the 14th Amendment’s framers really intend this outcome? It turns out they didn’t. What’s more, the Supreme Court already ruled on the matter — 127 years ago. Unfortunately, this “precedent” has been ignored.

The West Is Slowly Being Islamized. Does This Matter?

By Selwyn Duke

Paterson, New Jersey, has quite a history. Founded as a planned industrial city in 1792, it was named after William Paterson, a signatory to the Constitution and a Garden State governor. Like so many American municipalities, it had a Main Street, too.

Had, that is, because it’s now “Palestine Way” — thus officially renamed in 2022.

If it seems odd that the street is officially named after a place that doesn’t officially exist, perhaps Mayor Andre Sayegh can explain. After all, Sayegh, Paterson’s first Arab head, declared the city the “capital of Palestine” earlier this month.

But is this surprising? Paterson reportedly has one of the highest per capita Muslim populations among American cities, and politicians play to their audience.

And does any of this matter?

Tucker Carlson: “Shut Down All Immigration” for 30 Years – Till Unity Is Restored

By Selwyn Duke

While touting the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 on the Senate floor, the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) pushed a number of selling points. Among other things, he said that

• our cities would “not be flooded with a million immigrants annually”;
• “the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset”; and
• the bill would “not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area.”

Interestingly, it’s not just that these predictions were wrong.

It’s that they turned out to be the precise opposite of the truth.

What’s more, foreign-born people in the United States now number 53.3 million and are 15.8 percent of our population. Both figures are new record highs.

And, of course, there’s a reason automated telephone services now render the message, “Press 1 for English.” It’s called balkanization.

Yet while we do hear much talk about ending illegal migration, there’s almost none about ending the main cause of the balkanization: legal immigration.

Hanson: Germany, Poster Boy for the West’s Decline, Is Committing “Slow-motion Suicide”

By Selwyn Duke

While summering in Germany at the age of 12, a person I was visiting mentioned something about his countrymen. “Germans are always 100 percent,” he said. He was referencing how, by his lights, they were a monolithic lot. This isn’t literally true. But what is surely correct is that Germans can be “100 percent” in applying themselves to endeavors — and to beliefs. Thus did they pioneer modern educational developments. Thus were they ground breakers in optics, brewing, and industrial engineering. Thus do the Germanic Amish likely lead the world in pacifism, with their 100-percent devotion to it.

And thus are the Germans perhaps now also at the forefront of a darker development: the decline of the West.
