  • Christian Revival: Is (Once?) Woke Silicon Valley Coming to Jesus?

    By Selwyn Duke When it was alleged in 2023 that the message “Jesus died so you could live” was labeled “hate speech” by Facebook, it perhaps was not surprising. Two years later, however, something else surely is. Christian code has entered Silicon Valley, we hear, and may be supplanting its notoriously secular programming. Apparently, man does…

  • Does Teaching Bible in Schools Make Kids More Moral and Mentally Healthy?

    By Selwyn Duke While talking about “raising and training children” and “implanting” the proper “moral code,” a prominent politician had an interesting prescription. “The fundamental basis of this Nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount,” he said. “The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from…

  • Looking for Unicorns: The Search for a “Joe Rogan of the Left”

    By Selwyn Duke My, the worm truly has turned — at least halfway. It wasn’t that long ago, really, that conservatives lamented how “mainstream” media “controlled the narrative.” Back in 2011, in fact, Professor Tim Groseclose estimated that “media bias aids Democratic candidates by about 8 to 10 percentage points in a typical election.” Now,…

  • Is the Blue-state Model on the USSR’s Path — and Poised to Collapse?

    By Selwyn Duke “If something can’t go on, it won’t,” goes the paraphrase of economist Herb Stein. Speaking of which, we often hear about America’s below-replacement-level birth rate. What we don’t hear much about, however, is which Americans aren’t reproducing. And if you guessed that the biggest offenders are our land’s liberals, go to the head of…

  • 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…

  • Is Secession Nigh? Many Young Voters, Blacks, and Hispanics Believe National Breakup Likely

    By Selwyn Duke In the early 1900s, philosopher G.K. Chesterton said he longed for one aspect of a time few pine after. In the Middle Ages, he wrote, people agreed on the things that “really mattered” (in Europe, anyway). Just two or three decades ago, psychologist John Rosemond contrasted his time with Chesterton’s and said…

  • Not Just Fauci: The Scientific Establishment Peddles Lies Continually

    By Selwyn Duke It was just revealed that the Biden administration intentionally buried an “inconvenient” study in order to justify an energy crackdown. Of course, we’re seldom shocked to hear that politics is, well, political. But what about when study authors themselves bury, or otherwise obscure, inconvenient data? This not only happens, says a Ph.D.…

  • Death of the West: Britain Is Now Attacking Its Most Legendary Writer

    By Selwyn Duke “Lord, what fools these mortals be!” This remark, made by the mischievous sprite Puck in William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was directed at the absurdity of man’s love affairs. And while such folly is timeless, the comment is also relevant to a rather odd love affair perhaps unique to our time.…

  • Climatecrats Aim to Save the Planet — by Bulldozing Rainforest

    By Selwyn Duke There’s a somewhat old saying: “If you want to preserve forest,” it goes, “don’t build a road through it. And if you do, make sure it’s a bad one.” But, hey, preserving trees is so yesterday; climate is the cool kids’ kick now. So it is, too, that in preparation for the…

  • On XY in XX’s Sports, Whoopi G. Opens Her Mouth—and Removes All Doubt

    By Selwyn Duke “It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool,” goes the amusing saying, “than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” Despite this well known warning, there nonetheless is a show that specializes in removing such doubt—it’s called The View. A case in point is a recent episode in which co-host…
