  • Gotcha? Secret Alito Tapes Make the Justice Look Good, the Media Bad

    By Selwyn Duke Projection is a fascinating phenomenon. Certain people, ascribing to others the darkness pervading their own souls, are just certain that everyone is hiding skeletons and some secret life — it just has to be uncovered, is all. So perhaps the disappointment was profound when, after a hacker stole then-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s…

  • Professor Wants to Commit “Genocide” Against Western Civilization

    By Selwyn Duke Westerners used to believe they were heirs to the greatest civilization to ever grace God’s green Earth. They then descended into a culturally relativistic mentality stating, “Who’s to say one civilization is better than another?” The next transition was a cynical, “Meh, we’re not so hot.” Then there was the full-bore hatred…

  • Leftist Humiliates Herself on TV With Inability to Explain Trump’s “Crimes”

    By Selwyn Duke “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool,” the old saying goes, “than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” People should perhaps be mindful of this before publicly defending the indefensible — such as New York’s kangaroo-court conviction of President Trump. One person who might’ve learned this…

  • What Does Having Grossly Obese and Male Pageant Winners Say About America?

    By Selwyn Duke If “American exceptionalism” now means leading the world in providing comic relief, then we’ve just increased our lead. This is perhaps indisputable with news of a grossly obese Alabama pageant winner and a man — yes, a man — being crowned Miss Maryland.

  • Jordan Peterson Tackles Trump Derangement Syndrome

    By Selwyn Duke It’s a fascinating phenomenon, people hating a man so thoroughly, so intensely, so irrationally. The wrath showered upon the 45th president is so anomalous and extreme, in fact, that it even has a name: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). And it’s so befuddling that one of our time’s greatest psychologists has now weighed…

  • Is Democratic Party Rule Nothing But Mob Rule?

    By Selwyn Duke There is mob rule — and then there is glorified mob rule. The former is obvious, such as when an uncontrolled group of men summarily hangs a person without trial or due process. Glorified mob rule is subtler, possessing a thin veneer of propriety and legality, such as a “democratic” determination or…

  • Left-wing Violence: Abortion Radicals Attack Churches; Biden Turns Blind Eye

    By Selwyn Duke There are sins of commission, things you shouldn’t have done, but did; and sins of omission, things you should have done, but didn’t. When the two come together, you can have evildoers and enablers, such as when miscreants commit crimes and authorities ignore the crimes. Enter the Biden administration.

  • Constitutional Law Professor: Americans Must STOP “Worshiping” the Constitution

    By Selwyn Duke Years ago, comedian/commentator Bill Maher complained that too many Americans think the Ten Amendments are the Ten Commandments. (In reality, people such as Maher think the Ten Commandments are the Ten Amendments.) Yet now this sentiment is coming from someone who, one might hope, should know better: A constitutional law professor who…

  • Non-white Privilege? Anti-white Racism Reigns in U.S., Says Jeremy Carl

    By Selwyn Duke On one side, we hear about “white privilege” and “white supremacism.” On the other, we hear that you hear about those things only because whites are one of the few groups you can impugn with impunity, inclusive of calling them privileged while treating them prejudicially. And one man who’d agree with the…

  • Is the Constitution Now an “Inconvenient Document”?

    By Selwyn Duke “My biggest concern,” said Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson during oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri in March, “is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.” This comment virally raised eyebrows, and for good reason: The Constitution’s whole purpose when crafted was, and still is, to hamstring…
