  • Study: Gen Zers Want Safety Above All Else. Will They Trade Liberty for It?

    By Selwyn Duke Ah, those carefree days of youth, when kids feel so bulletproof that they may seem oblivious to their own mortality. Well, that’s the way it was, anyway. If a new study is to be believed, however, this has changed, with Gen Z young people being more mother hen than rowdy rooster. In…

  • AI Researcher Quits; Says He’s “Pretty Terrified”

    By Selwyn Duke It’s easy to call warnings about artificial intelligence (AI) “sensationalism.” (So many things today are, after all.) In fact, when I told a “terrified” ex-AI researcher on X yesterday that I was writing a story about the alarm he sounded and had questions for him, another respondent — an author, it turns…

  • Is THIS the Real Reason the Left Didn’t Steal the 2024 Presidential Election?

    By Selwyn Duke A 2023 poll found that almost 70 percent of Republicans/Republican leaners believed that Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory was illegitimate. Given this cynicism about the process, many Americans expected a replay of the fraud in 2024. Yet that didn’t materialize because, it’s often said, President Donald Trump’s November support made the election…

  • One BILLION Americans? When Do We End Immigration?

    By Selwyn Duke It’s funny, the discussions we never have, even when they involve that proverbial elephant in the room. Here’s one: Since the U.S.’s population is only increasing because of immigration, when do we decide we have enough people and end it?

  • The Fakery That is the War on Fake News

    By Selwyn Duke Is it true that one man’s misinformation is another man’s salvation? Or is it actually true that what man censors is sometimes God’s sublimity? Author and university lecturer Nolan Higdon may not be pondering anything so ethereal. What he is sure of is that, as he wrote Sunday at Salon, the “war…

  • Following the Science, Trump Moves to Pardon CO2

    By Selwyn Duke First there were the Biden family pardons; then there were the pardons of the J6 political prisoners. Joining the latter now, though, may be another case where the unjustly convicted would be absolved from guilt. It’s high time, too, as this condemned party has spent almost a generation in the pokey of…

  • MUGA? To Make Universities Great Again, Stop the “Nonbinary Magical Realism”

    By Selwyn Duke Question: How do the following college courses grab you? “The Phallus” “Queer Musicology” “Border Crossings, Borderlands: Transnational Feminist Perspectives on Immigration” “Whiteness: The Other Side of Racism” “Native American Feminisms” “Sex Change City: Theorizing History in Genderqueer San Francisco” “Lesbian Pulp Fiction” No, the preceding are not from the film PCU (Politically Correct U),…

  • Can We MAGA Without Making the Fed Bureaucracy SMALL Again?

    By Selwyn Duke Texan Michael Cargill had to endure what you might call, well, a bureaucratic colonoscopy. It was a Deep State experience he wouldn’t have had in, let’s say, 1971. That’s because his tormentor was the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which didn’t exist till 1972. The issue? They aimed to…

  • Trump May Kill “DEI” in Name, but It Will Live on Unless….

    By Selwyn Duke President Trump has made clear that he aims to trump Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) schemes. Democrats aim to trump him and keep them alive. And while the president will very likely win the current battle, in the federal political realm, what of the war? Is this just a matter of killing…

  • Will the Red-hot California Fires Red-pill Americans?

    By Selwyn Duke When all is said and done, the wildfires raging in and around Los Angeles may be the worst natural disaster in American history in terms of scope and cost. But did it have to be this way? For sure, there are factors beyond man’s control, such as the fierce Santa Ana winds…
