  • Booting Beelzebub: Trump Targets Anti-Christian Bias in Government

    By Selwyn Duke Christians “should be eradicated without hesitation or remorse.” So remarked an “elite” respondent years ago in a sociological study that documented anti-Christian bigotry in the United States. And just this week, too, we heard that the Idaho National Guard allegedly has a “no Christians in command” policy. But the man in command of our…

  • The Beast Lives On: DEI Is ALREADY Being Rebranded

    By Selwyn Duke Just two weeks ago I warned, to echo Mark Twain, that rumors of DEI’s death are greatly exaggerated. While “the label ‘DEI’ is new, the product it identifies is more than half a century old,” I stated. … And make no mistake, its predicates are still embedded in our culture.” For this…

  • Yes, Obama and Biden Dumbed Down Air Traffic Controllers and the FAA

    By Selwyn Duke What do you think of the following information about the hiring of air traffic controllers? Candidates “whose worst subject in high school was science [and who played a lot of sports] and candidates who are unemployed receive the most points possible on the test” (for the position), wrote The Blaze in 2018. “In contrast,…

  • 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…

  • 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),…

  • 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…

  • Cartoonist Portrayed Trump as Sex Offender — Then Was Arrested for Child Porn

    By Selwyn Duke Methinks the man doth protest too much. This twist on a Shakespeare line could come to mind while pondering the story of one Darrin Bell, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist. Bell is famous for, among other things, drawing anti-Trump cartoons in which he portrays the president as a vile sex offender. He also often…

  • Liberal Magazine: “Colleges Are Lying to Their Students”

    By Selwyn Duke If ever there were a sign that academia’s shtick is getting a bit stale, it’s when even a liberal magazine starts scoffing at its norms. This is what has happened, too, with the left-wing Atlantic warning that “colleges are lying to their students.” No, the outlet isn’t complaining about the various leftist isms pervading…

  • Government Spent Millions on “Indigenous Knowledge” to Fight California Wildfires

    By Selwyn Duke In another example of the all-consuming fires of wokeness, it has been revealed that authorities spent millions of dollars the last two years incorporating “indigenous knowledge” into California’s wildfire-mitigation policies. What could possibly go wrong? What already has, apparently.
