By Selwyn Duke Got a rat problem on your property? Don’t worry, under Oregon’s new animal-rights act, you’d still be able to deal with it. You’d just have to eliminate the 20, 30, or 40 rats in your yard using live-catch traps. You can then deliver the rodents to, well, whoever’s itching to have dozens…

By Selwyn Duke In the 19th century, European immigrants might write home a letter including something such as the following. “Dear Uncle Maarten, it’s unbelievable: Here in America, I can eat meat every day!” Such a lifestyle was unheard of in the Old World. And now there may be the 21st-century version of this incredulity.…

By Selwyn Duke Elon Musk and Paul Ehrlich… Only a minority of people know who Ehrlich was; fewer still would know why I mention the two men together. But they represent diametrically opposed perspectives on a major issue: population growth. Billionaire tech mogul Musk has made news in recent years warning that our below-replacement-level fertility…

By Selwyn Duke There may be a reason why, according to an AI analysis, approximately 40 percent of global-warming girl Greta Thunberg’s recent activism has involved anything but global warming. And it could just be because, as a commentator recently noted, the “climate alarmists are not ‘alarming’ anymore.”

The recent miniseries Adolescence, for instance, put the onus for much anti-female violence on the “manosphere.” And now we learn that, supposedly, the manosphere also mucks up the atmosphere, with a new study linking men to higher…

By Selwyn Duke There’s currently a war raging for the soul of the Democrats. Having been repudiated in the 2024 election, the party appears rudderless and leaderless, with two of its most prominent current faces being an ex-bartender and a career-politician lawyer, both from New York. (Yes, that would be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Chuck Schumer.)…

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…

By Selwyn Duke For the greentopian Left, is this the last straw? Actually, with how President Trump is shaking up the system — taking Nancy Pelosi’s advice to be a “disruptor” — probably not. But an executive order he signed today will perhaps ensure that we don’t have our last straw. That is, our last plastic one. The order…

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?

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…
