  • 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…

  • By Selwyn Duke “China is going to eat our lunch?” Joe Biden asked dismissively on the campaign trail in 2019. “Come on, man…. They’re not competition for us.” The Trump administration has taken a very different posture. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that Beijing is undertaking the “fastest, most rapid, most expansive peacetime…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Thank God our grandpappies caught that boat!” is a line generally attributed to late boxing great Muhammad Ali. It appears, however, that it might’ve actually been uttered by rival George Foreman’s manager, Dick Sadler, in 1974. Regardless, the meaning is the same. The man was happy his ancestors ended up in America…

  • By Selwyn Duke Hatred is like darkness: The more there is, the less you can see. For this reason, the object of hatred is never perceived clearly, ever painted in a darker color than the most shadowy recesses of its soul. Anti-American wrath is no exception, either. Why, listening to the hate-America-first crowd, you’d think…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s said that sunlight is the best disinfectant. It sure worked, too, with a Colorado abortion clinic that planned to host a free “sex-ed” summer camp that would have, among other things, taught kids about “gender” ideology and auto-eroticism.

  • Image credit: Adolf Knause/Wikimedia Commons By Selwyn Duke Sometime after WWII, rumors began circulating that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler didn’t commit suicide, but, clever man, escaped. It’s true, too, that Hitler lives. Sure, he’d be 136 today, just having had a birthday last Sunday. But he lives. Hitler lives in the hearts and minds and…

  • By Selwyn Duke Say what you will about the “woke” Left’s recent fall from favor, there’s no denying their profound cultural victories. Just consider the results of a 2023 Gallup poll and a 2020 Democracy Fund voter study group: While “four in 10 American adults overall say they are extremely proud to be an American,…

  • By Selwyn Duke Is this Hawaii 5-No? Some could wonder given that all five Aloha State Supreme Court justices have said no to gun rights — and the U.S. Supreme Court’s finding that they exist. That’s right: We incessantly hear about how President Trump is a Threat to Democracy™, that he’ll “ignore court rulings.” Ironically, though,…

  • By Selwyn Duke The Roman arena, where Christians might be thrown to lions, is long gone. But though the tormentors and methods have changed, this doesn’t mean such persecution has ended. In fact, 100,000-150,000 Christians have been slaughtered worldwide by Muslims (often jihadists) during the last two decades. One of the worst killing fields is…

  • Image: YouTube By Selwyn Duke The warning that “crime doesn’t pay” is surely true — in the spiritual sense, that is.
