By Selwyn Duke How much of the air we breathe is carbon dioxide? A typical answer, one writer states he hears, is 20 percent. The actual figure is four one-hundredths of one percent (or 400 parts per million). “How can such a small magnitude of CO2 be dooming humanity?” ex-professor Ron Ross, Ph.D., then asks, posing what…

By Selwyn Duke “Indiana’s legal fight highlights the absurdity of the transgender movement,” reads the headline. The MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) agenda certainly is absurd. But did it come out of nowhere? Or is it an outgrowth of absurdities accepted long ago? Read the rest here.

By Selwyn Duke Are some doctors abusing children for money? The answer may be yes if the case of Dr. Stephen Rosenthal, co-founder and director of a clinic that facilitates children’s “sex change” attempts, is any indication. The issue: The physician received payments from two pharmaceutical companies that are being investigated for advertising puberty blockers…

By Selwyn Duke Big Tech now has the capacity to shift up to 15 million votes in an American election. This isn’t the judgment of some far-right watchdog group but of Dr. Robert Epstein, a liberal and the senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology. He has long been studying GoogTwitFace’s ability…

By Selwyn Duke While the Islamic threat has receded from American public consciousness, with domestic woes and Ukraine’s conflict sucking up the media oxygen, it hasn’t receded as a world stage force. One place long bedeviled by it is Nigeria, where Boko Haram and other Muslim entities have long been waging war against Christians, native…

But imagine that China, or Beijing allied with Moscow, launched ICBMs at the United States and we couldn’t respond in kind — and China and Russia knew it. How much disincentive would these nations have against launching…

By Selwyn Duke It’s a simple fact that we can’t support 330 million Americans and eight billion people worldwide without modern food production methods. It’s also factual that highly efficient, hi-tech farming, enabling us to produce more food on less land, is a major reason why there’s more forested area in America today than a…

By Selwyn Duke "Retraction of biomedical and life science research papers for fraud or misconduct is more widespread than previously thought and is roughly 10-fold more common today than in 1975.” So wrote the BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal) in 2012. Now, 10 years later, some new reports indicate that the state of “science”…

By Selwyn Duke A notable feature of the so-called Sexual Revolution of the ’60s, which really was just a continuing sexual devolution, is that what had theretofore been in the closet began emerging from it. This was marketed as liberation from “Puritanism,” and those opposing it were demeaned as “repressed.” This movement continued metastasizing to…

By Selwyn Duke Question: If we’re going to assign indirect blame, who is more responsible for a kid who kills somebody drag racing? The company that made the car? Or a person who legitimized and glamorized street drag racing in the kid’s eyes? While many leftists want firearms manufacturers sued into oblivion, a similar question…
