  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • By Selwyn Duke Ponder the following examples of your tax money at work. USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development, paid almost $2 million to empower “transgender” organizations in Guatemala. It spent about $1.5 million to promote the “LGBTQ+ diversity” agenda in Serbia. It also reportedly allowed at least $151 million in aid money to…

  • 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…

  • By Selwyn Duke Is it true that one man’s misinformation is another man’s salvation? Or is it actually true that what man censors is sometimes God’s sublimity? Author and university lecturer Nolan Higdon may not be pondering anything so ethereal. What he is sure of is that, as he wrote Sunday at Salon, the “war…

  • By Selwyn Duke Texan Michael Cargill had to endure what you might call, well, a bureaucratic colonoscopy. It was a Deep State experience he wouldn’t have had in, let’s say, 1971. That’s because his tormentor was the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which didn’t exist till 1972. The issue? They aimed to…

  • By Selwyn Duke When all is said and done, the wildfires raging in and around Los Angeles may be the worst natural disaster in American history in terms of scope and cost. But did it have to be this way? For sure, there are factors beyond man’s control, such as the fierce Santa Ana winds…

  • By Selwyn Duke As I had on many other occasions, in 2020 I warned of a “dystopia-delivering tech oligarchy.” I cited Dr. Robert Epstein, a liberal who’s the senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, and his studies on Big Tech influence. His findings were alarming, too. Big Tech, he warned, could…

  • By Selwyn Duke It could be Exhibit A for why people don’t trust government and the legacy media. Only, well, there are so many damning exhibits to choose from. The story? We’ve heard much about “collusion,” such as the Trump/Russia-collusion hoax. But here’s a story of real collusion, from the people who gave us that…
