  • By Selwyn Duke “People will do what they do.” So said then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2020, when asked about a Baltimore mob tearing down a Christopher Columbus statue. Her attitude may be her political set’s norm, too. After all, no one in the Democratic Party leadership has, for example, spoken out against the attacks…

  • Image created with Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke If Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of the Harry Potter actors really could perform magic, maybe, just perhaps, they could turn a man into a woman. But it’s impossible beyond the world of Hollywood fantasy. This hasn’t stopped them, however, from embracing the fantasy that this sexual transformation can,…

  • 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…

  • 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 Hatred is like darkness: The more there is, the less you can see. For this reason, the object of hatred is never perceived clearly, ever painted in a darker color than the most shadowy recesses of its soul. Anti-American wrath is no exception, either. Why, listening to the hate-America-first crowd, you’d think…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s said that sunlight is the best disinfectant. It sure worked, too, with a Colorado abortion clinic that planned to host a free “sex-ed” summer camp that would have, among other things, taught kids about “gender” ideology and auto-eroticism. Geared toward fifth- through eighth-graders and hosted by the Boulder Valley Health Center…

  • Image credit: Adolf Knause/Wikimedia Commons By Selwyn Duke Sometime after WWII, rumors began circulating that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler didn’t commit suicide, but, clever man, escaped. It’s true, too, that Hitler lives. Sure, he’d be 136 today, just having had a birthday last Sunday. But he lives. Hitler lives in the hearts and minds and…

  • By Selwyn Duke Say what you will about the “woke” Left’s recent fall from favor, there’s no denying their profound cultural victories. Just consider the results of a 2023 Gallup poll and a 2020 Democracy Fund voter study group: While “four in 10 American adults overall say they are extremely proud to be an American,…

  • By Selwyn Duke Is this Hawaii 5-No? Some could wonder given that all five Aloha State Supreme Court justices have said no to gun rights — and the U.S. Supreme Court’s finding that they exist. That’s right: We incessantly hear about how President Trump is a Threat to Democracy™, that he’ll “ignore court rulings.” Ironically, though,…

  • 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…
