  • By Selwyn Duke When I “take the oath of office as president, when my right hand goes up, their new world order comes down.” So said pundit-turned-politician Pat Buchanan in 2000 while accepting the Reform Party nomination. Interestingly, Buchanan has also been called “the godfather of Trumpism.” It thus is not surprising that what he promised, President…

  • By Selwyn Duke “We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us.” This statement related to a federal mandate compelling 100 million Americans to take poorly tested Covid shots. This applied to private sector workers, too, and you could be fired for refusing. Oh, the remark was…

  • By Selwyn Duke My, how the worm has turned. It was in 2009 that talk-show giant Michael Savage, along with others, was banned from Britain for exercising speech. Now, 16 years later, certain European officials are being banned from the United States for banning people for exercising speech. It’s just the latest in an unprecedented…

  • By Selwyn Duke While it was contrary to our Founders’ warning to avoid entangling alliances and European wars, we certainly can understand why NATO was created in 1949. The USSR, which President Ronald Reagan would later rightly call an “evil empire,” appeared a burgeoning force. Ensuring his post-WWII domination of Eastern Europe, Soviet despot Joseph…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Puerto Rico doesn’t have to be ‘American’ to be a friend of America. Let it be what it already is — a nation.” So editorializes Javier A. Hernández, a Puerto Rican author, linguist, educator, and former federal official. And Hernández is one more thing, too: a pro-Puerto Rico sovereignty advocate. So his…

  • By Selwyn Duke With the Democrats controlling neither the presidency nor Congress and having largely failed to stop deportations via the courts, they’ve exhausted the political options for advancing their pro-illegal-migration agenda (at least for now). So they’re perhaps left grasping at straws. Enter the religious option. To wit: Many leftists are now citing the…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s arguably true that agitation by organization Black Lives Matter (tag-teaming with Antifa) hobbled President Donald Trump’s 2020 election chances. This is why it’s ironic that while he’s maligned as a “racist,” Trump may enjoy a unique status. He may be the real “Black Lives Matter” president. That is, in the sense…

  • By Selwyn Duke Call them 18-wheeler and dealers — or just call them criminal and dangerous. But if you’re wondering why some semi-truck drivers today don’t seem very skilled and may not even speak English, wonder no more. Because, it has been revealed, some Florida officials were giving illegal aliens commercial driver’s licenses in exchange…

  • By Selwyn Duke “China is going to eat our lunch?” Joe Biden asked dismissively on the campaign trail in 2019. “Come on, man…. They’re not competition for us.” The Trump administration has taken a very different posture. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned that Beijing is undertaking the “fastest, most rapid, most expansive peacetime…

  • By Selwyn Duke Is one man’s radical another man’s reasoned voice? You might suppose that could be the thinking in this relativistic age. But this certainly wasn’t the perspective of British journalist Douglas Murray while appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast last Thursday. In fact, Murray called Rogan out on the show, saying he was platforming…
