  • An Anti-“Hate Crime” Scheme Fails — Again

    By Selwyn Duke Since committing a “hate crime” brings more prison time, we could wonder: Does committing a “love crime” reduce one’s sentence? This may sound silly, a bit like countering feminism with “masculinism” or Islamophobia with “Islamophilia.” Yet it also may put in perspective how silly the accepted terms are. Whatever the case, I’m old enough…

  • Is Our “Equality” Obsession Destroying Our Nation?

    By Selwyn Duke “Equality tells us nothing about quality.” This is a simple truth — hiding in plain sight. Would we, after all, rather have equality in poverty or inequality in abundance? Would we prefer the equality of all being deathly ill or the inequality of varying levels of health? Would we choose equality in…

  • Mask Drop: Democrats Come Closer to Saying, “Let’s Just Ban All Guns”

    By Selwyn Duke There’s a popular meme circulating online that relates the evolution of cultural devolutionary talking points. It goes like this: We see this pattern repeated with many issues, Second Amendment rights included. In fact, say some, we’re already at Stage 3 with respect to firearm seizure. As one commentator puts it, leftists have…

  • Wealthy Leftists: Stealing Is OK for Us — and Sometimes Murder, Too

    By Selwyn Duke What happens when you raise generations not with virtue but with “situational values”? What’s the result when kids are pandered to, coddled, never told “No!” and get participation trophies? One result just may be wealthy, spoiled adults who believe its okay for them to steal and even, sometimes, murder. Oh, they have their rationalizations…

  • Study: GOP and Dems Have Changed on Opposition to Big Government

    By Selwyn Duke “Government is not the solution to our problem,” late GOP president Ronald Reagan famously said in 1981 — “government is the problem.” We don’t hear this much from today’s Republicans, however. On the other hand, then-Democratic President Bill Clinton proclaimed in January 1996, “The era of big government is over.” And we…

  • The Left’s War on Comedy Is No Laughing Matter

    By Selwyn Duke If pure-hearted laughter is divine, the suppression of it is demonic. This could come to mind with our Left’s war on comedy, which really is happening. It also really is a campaign common to leftists. Just ask USSR-born comedian Yakov Smirnoff, a man popular during the late Cold War period (the 1980s).…

  • Carville Tells Democrats: Keep QUIET on Your Plan to Seize Permanent Power

    By Selwyn Duke As soon as Democrats “can figure out a way to eliminate elections, they will do it,” warned late radio giant Rush Limbaugh in 2020. This is for a simple reason, he explained: “’cause they resent the hell out of [having to campaign].” Now, six years later, political strategist James Carville (aka “Serpent Head”)…

  • Communism Is Sneaking Up on Us Americans; In Fact, It’s Nipping at Our Heels

    By Selwyn Duke “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism,” goes the apocryphal saying generally attributed to six-time presidential candidate Norman Thomas. “But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

  • Today’s Schools Hurt Black Students More Than the KKK Ever Could

    By Selwyn Duke “The Ku Klux Klan couldn’t sabotage chances for black academic excellence more effectively than the public school system in most cities,” noted the late Professor Walter E. Williams. Apropos to this, Williams also stated that whatever you say about “civil-rights” activist Malcolm X, he was right about something. To wit: The greatest enemy black…

  • SCOTUS’ Chiles Decision Strikes a Blow Against Homo/“Trans” Lobby — and for Freedom

    By Selwyn Duke The Supreme Court just struck a blow against a very perverse double standard, one common in many states. That standard is this: You can prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for a child and scar him for life. This is in service to the delusion that the youth is stuck in the…
