  • Do Defenders of the Chevron Doctrine Believe in a Government of, by, and for the People?

    By Selwyn Duke Would you side with Chevron deference, or constitutional diligence? The establishment, including the mainstream media and Democratic Party, has made up its mind. To them, the “Chevron doctrine’s” demise, which takes the matter of settling ambiguous law’s meaning out of bureaucrats’ hands and places it back in judges’ laps, represents a crisis. Forget people…

  • Report: FBI and Hollywood Mislead Public on “Good Guy With a Gun” Stats

    By Selwyn Duke “Leave it to a good guy with a gun to really screw things up,” said a comely female cop on an episode of ABC’s The Rookie. This utterance was no accident. Nor was it simply inspired by Hollywood’s well-known left-wing bent. Rather, gun-control groups readily admit they work with screenwriters and producers to…

  • Inviting the Apocalypse? Harris-Biden Official Wants to “Queer” Nuclear Weapons

    By Selwyn Duke What could possibly go wrong (other than the end of the world)? Many may assume that the woke, dumb-down-standards mentality is a sideshow, that it would never affect life-or-death matters. But we’ve already seen corruptive DEI applied to law enforcement, air traffic controllers, pilots, and medical care. Now there’s a desire to apply it to what…

  • Dystopia Across the Sea: “Extreme Misogyny” to be Called “Terrorism”

    By Selwyn Duke “Britain is now an elite dictatorship where majority opinions are crushed,” wrote the Telegraph last year. That was before, too, the recent imprisonment of Brits for unapproved social-media posts, for, quote, “stirring ‘racial hatred.” (Here’s the evidence, your honor: Here’s the cup the defendant used. Here, in a hazmat container, is what’s left of the…

  • VP Candidate Tim Walz Does NOT Believe in Free Speech

    By Selwyn Duke Is the title of this article “misinformation”? Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.) certainly would say so. Many observers say the opposite, though, with Walz having stated in a recently unearthed interview that there’s “no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech.” His defenders would aver here, however, “That’s taken out of…

  • Soviet NY: Letitia James’ Lawfare Has Killed a Conservative Website

    By Selwyn Duke “The Land the Law Forgot,” is what liberal legal scholar Jonathan Turley called New York in June. Oh, it’s not that it doesn’t have laws; it’s got so many, in fact, that studies found it to be our country’s least free state. It’s that N.Y.’s supposed law enforcers are ideological enforcers, using and going beyond the Empire…

  • Sugar and Spice? Tucker Carlson Says Female Leaders More Bloodthirsty Than Men

    By Selwyn Duke “Sugar and spice and everything nice; That’s what little girls are made of,” goes the old Romantic Period poem. Grown women are characterized differently, the work holds, and female leaders? Poem author Robert Southey didn’t say. But pundit Tucker Carlson just did. In fact, he stated while addressing the notion that “women…

  • “Rejoice!” Says Writer, and Celebrate Independence From Chevron Tyranny

    By Selwyn Duke Would you want to be ruled by a government of unelected Anthony Faucis? It’s a relevant question because, although it’s seldom framed this way, that’s precisely what the “Chevron doctrine” gave us for 40 years. Overturning almost 200 years of precedent — the precedent whereby our elected representatives made law and, if it…
