  • By Selwyn Duke He’s got his jeans and flannel shirt. He’s got the beard. He’s got the gravelly voice. He’s got the oyster farm. And he’s got the radical beliefs — communism included. Oh, Graham Platner, Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate from Maine, also has that Nazi tattoo. It gets all the attention, but…

  • By Selwyn Duke If you want to know why there will be more Karmelo Anthonys — angry black youth all too willing to kill whites — look no further than diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training offered by the Illinois government. It portrays white people and police as mosquitoes inflicting “microaggression” bites that maddeningly accumulate…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Sometimes smart people have a hard time believing stuff that everybody else knows.” So said the condemned (and possessed) convict in the “religious” film Nefarious (2023) to his self-assured atheist psychiatrist. Charles Murray, the famed political scientist and successful author, can certainly relate to this. Quoting his wife on religion, he stated…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Sex is not messed up because it was put in the closet,” goes a paraphrase of philosopher C.S.

There’s relatively little focus, however, on the misinformation pumped directly into the most damaging place of all: young people’s minds. Moreover, this misinformation — or “brainwashing,” as a critic puts it — has supplanted real learning to the point…

  • By Selwyn Duke Marketing is an interesting thing. The buyer always has to beware because labels and packaging don’t always reflect ingredients. Consider the following list, for example, asking: What’s the most common word among its elements? “Democratic,” obviously. Now note that 1 and 2 are communist countries, with the first (North Korea) being particularly…

  • By Selwyn Duke “I can’t breathe.” These were some of the final words of Henry Nowak, 18, a victim of a knifing — and British authorities’ wokeness. Nowak had repeatedly told police “I’ve been stabbed,” to which one cop replied, “I don’t think so, mate.” How’d they draw this conclusion? They took the word of…
