  • By Selwyn Duke Some companies advertise their fall from grace. Bud Light, for example, signaled descent into woke darkness with a “trans” influencer ad campaign. It didn’t end well (though, really, it hasn’t yet ended). Jaguar exhibited symptoms of mad cat disease with a commercial featuring what look like sexually confused extraterrestrials visiting Earth. Whether this…

  • By Selwyn Duke With the election of Donald Trump, many Americans are hopeful that so-called wokeness will go the way of the dodo. Yet as recent warnings inform, such cultural change requires, well, a change in the culture (not just the politics). And perhaps helpful in this regard is considering what happens when a civilization…

  • By Selwyn Duke The above claim, made just recently, is not about our Ukraine-proxy war with Russia. It’s not about our continuing military actions against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. It’s not about something as mundane as how the U.S. is, technically, still at war with North Korea. Rather, it’s about an ongoing, existential conflict…

  • By Selwyn Duke “If you want peace, prepare for war,” goes the adage. Yet in the U.S. in recent decades, it’s as if we’ve been preparing for peace while waging war. The result? Our stockpiles of weapons are so dangerously low that we have only one to three weeks of munitions available for a major…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Never let your schooling interfere with your education,” goes the apocryphal saying. (No, it’s not from Mark Twain, though the schooled are more likely than the educated to think so.) It is a truth, too, an important one to grasp — especially for pseudo-elites who demean the unschooled as “uneducated.” Enter ABC network’s Sunny…

  • The choices we make in our daily lives shape our culture and the type of country we have. After all, politics is downstream from culture. By Selwyn Duke With President Donald Trump’s historic and resounding election victory, many are relieved. His supporters may feel, “Mission accomplished!” while his opponents (those not throwing tantrums) might’ve resigned…

  • By Selwyn Duke The mainstream media may, collectively, be the most dangerous single worldly enemy our country faces. After all, it once was virtually all Americans’ only conduit of information and still serves that function for many. It’s as with a computer, too: garbage in, garbage out. And this lamentation is, essentially, what commentator Mike…

  • By Selwyn Duke “The temperature is rising!” “The temperature is dropping.” The temperature is staying the same.” We argue the “facts” of climate change (even as parts of New Jersey were just buried under 11 inches of global warming). One side wants the facts to show that man is disrupting the climate, while the other…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s a tale of two companies. One went woke, began to go broke, and now embraces the macho bloke. The other, slow on the uptake, just stepped on the woke rake and now has a real headache. The latter is British auto manufacturer Jaguar, whose most recent commercial looks like the bar…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s a shocking story. Thousands of American kids have, over time, been attending camps in China run by a Beijing intelligence and influence agency. Once there, the youths are indoctrinated with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda. Some are even given military training and may be taught to act like “Little Overseas Chinese…
