  • Federal Judges Are Now a “Form of Tyranny,” Warns Former Litigator

    By Selwyn Duke “I know what the law is, but I think…” This statement, which an ex-litigator actually heard from a judge, epitomized a phenomenon she observed repeatedly. That is, she saw, as she puts it, “left-leaning judges make up the law as they went along.” As a litigator in the hard-left San Francisco Bay…

  • That Delicate Thing, the Rule of Law, Is Dying. Who Is Killing It?

    By Selwyn Duke As with representative government, the “rule of law” has been an anomaly on the world scene, historically speaking. The Romans had it; in fact, they essentially gave us the concept of the rule of law. It is the norm today, too, in the lands they most influenced, those of the modern West.…

  • Thanks to Trump, Black D.C. Residents Are “Living the Singapore Life”

    Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke With the Washington, D.C., murder rate having dropped 70-plus percent since the Trump administration deployed the National Guard to patrol the city’s streets, numerous black lives have been saved. And while most Democratic politicians, other leftists, and establishment media aren’t impressed with this, many black D.C. residents…

  • 16-year-olds Will Be Voting: UK’s Libs Aim to Stay in Power by Recruiting Kids

    By Selwyn Duke Facing severe manpower shortages in WWII’s waning months, Nazi Germany conscripted adolescent boys, some as young as 12, into military service. This was a sign of desperation, of course, one that ended well for neither kids nor country. And we see another attempt to recruit the young for something they’re ill prepared…

  • Duke on TV: My Latest Appearance on Bill Martinez LIVE—7/7/25

    By Selwyn Duke I was on with Bill, one of the truly good people in the media, for approximately 50 minutes. We had a great discussion that was very information dense. I hope you enjoy it. 

  • Trump, His New MAGA Critics, and the “Art of the Possible”

    Image created by Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke When Grandma Sarah was saved from Comanchero thugs by the eponymous main character in the film The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), she wasn’t entirely happy. “This Mr. Wales is a cold-blooded killer,” she told the Indian Lone Watie, who’d been abducted with her. “He’s from Missouri, where they’re all…

  • Nullification? Ignore Judge’s Immigration “Order,” Florida AG Tells State Law Enforcement

    By Selwyn Duke With “each decision … unabashedly based not on law,” the Court moves “one step closer to being reminded of [its] impotence,” warned late Justice Antonin Scalia in his Obergefell v. Hodges dissent (2015). Now, a decade later, the judiciary has just gotten a major reminder. That is, an Obama-appointed activist judge recently “ordered” Florida…

  • The Case for Race and Sex Discrimination

    By Selwyn Duke A few decades ago a woman I knew well, of Japanese descent, told me a story about a time she walked into a Korean restaurant. “We don’t want your kind in here,” someone staffing the eatery bluntly told her. Old prejudices die hard, and the woman promptly left. She could’ve filed a…

  • Does Teaching Bible in Schools Make Kids More Moral and Mentally Healthy?

    By Selwyn Duke While talking about “raising and training children” and “implanting” the proper “moral code,” a prominent politician had an interesting prescription. “The fundamental basis of this Nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount,” he said. “The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from…

  • Be Like Sweden? Actually, America Beats Europe — Hands Down

    By Selwyn Duke “There oughta be a law!” goes the old frustration-born refrain. Or if not a law, maybe another regulation or mandate — one making us, perhaps, more like Europe. After all, they have “free” healthcare, maternity leave, better quality of life, and more vacation time. In a nutshell, “Europe is better,” as multimillionaire…
