  • Government Spends Billions of YOUR Money to Build … NOTHING

    By Selwyn Duke “The best government is that which governs least,” goes the old saying. And if ever there were evidence for this proposition, it’s our federal government’s efforts at creating infrastructure. In fact, I built more as a child playing with Lincoln Logs and LEGO blocks than the feds do via some of its…

  • Newsweek: “Biden’s ‘Preemptive Pardons’ Once Again Prove That the Democrats’ Accusations Are Confessions”

    By Selwyn Duke Are preemptive pardons the inverse of preemptive convictions? Sometimes, yes, because they can be equally unjust. In the wake of Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son Hunter, something he said he would not do, we learned that Biden (his handlers, to be precise) is considering “preemptive pardons” for certain ex-government officials and administration allies.…

  • After Winning a Political Battle Nov. 5, Can We Now Win the Culture War?

    By Selwyn Duke On December 7, 1941, Japan won a victory so resounding at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, that a casual observer might have considered its empire an unstoppable force. Yet the Land of the Rising Sun never had a chance. With an industrial base dwarfed by that of the United States, its eventual defeat was…

  • Town Fined 10K for Not Celebrating “Pride” Month — and Other Foreign Craziness

    By Selwyn Duke With the election of Donald Trump, many Americans are hopeful that so-called wokeness will go the way of the dodo. Yet as recent warnings inform, such cultural change requires, well, a change in the culture (not just the politics). And perhaps helpful in this regard is considering what happens when a civilization…

  • WARNING: “We Are Still at War”

    By Selwyn Duke The above claim, made just recently, is not about our Ukraine-proxy war with Russia. It’s not about our continuing military actions against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. It’s not about something as mundane as how the U.S. is, technically, still at war with North Korea. Rather, it’s about an ongoing, existential conflict…

  • U.S. in a “State of Undeclared Emergency,” Report Warns

    By Selwyn Duke “If you want peace, prepare for war,” goes the adage. Yet in the U.S. in recent decades, it’s as if we’ve been preparing for peace while waging war. The result? Our stockpiles of weapons are so dangerously low that we have only one to three weeks of munitions available for a major…

  • Attacking Trump Voters, View Host Mistakes “Schooling” for Education

    By Selwyn Duke “Never let your schooling interfere with your education,” goes the apocryphal saying. (No, it’s not from Mark Twain, though the schooled are more likely than the educated to think so.) It is a truth, too, an important one to grasp — especially for pseudo-elites who demean the unschooled as “uneducated.” Enter ABC network’s Sunny…

  • The Most Important Votes Are Yet to Be Cast

    The choices we make in our daily lives shape our culture and the type of country we have. After all, politics is downstream from culture. By Selwyn Duke With President Donald Trump’s historic and resounding election victory, many are relieved. His supporters may feel, “Mission accomplished!” while his opponents (those not throwing tantrums) might’ve resigned…

  • The Tapper-CNN/Maddow Lawsuits and the Dying Mainstream Media

    By Selwyn Duke The mainstream media may, collectively, be the most dangerous single worldly enemy our country faces. After all, it once was virtually all Americans’ only conduit of information and still serves that function for many. It’s as with a computer, too: garbage in, garbage out. And this lamentation is, essentially, what commentator Mike…

  • Anti-Trump Artifice: Does the Woke Pentagon Have Sedition on Its Mind?

    By Selwyn Duke It’s not quite like the 1964 movie Seven Days in May, which concerns a military plot to overthrow a U.S. president. Nonetheless, there does appear to be an anti-Trump cabal in the Pentagon with seditious leanings. What’s more, this information doesn’t come via social media rumor or some random source, but from left-wing…
