By Selwyn Duke It is interesting to note that both ancient Greece, the “cradle of Western civilization,” and the Roman Empire, which spread Western civilization, declined and “fell” due partially to internal divisions. Another point to ponder is something Salvian of Marseilles, a Christian priest, observed in the mid fifth century: Does such loathing (though…

By Selwyn Duke You perhaps didn’t think you’d see the day when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) would be applied to sexual assault. But here we are, courtesy of “Black-led and Black-owned startup” (its own description) AFRU. If a migrant rapes you says AFRU, well, boohoo. Those are just the broken eggs for the omelet. Or as the site puts it in…

By Selwyn Duke Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson flexes her “brilliance” in oral arguments. She also “had to be 10 times better than most” to succeed. So claims lame-duck Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), anyway. This is even though the man who nominated Jackson to the High Court, then-President Joe Biden, made clear he chose…

By Selwyn Duke After he was shot in 1981, “President Reagan said to me, ‘I hope you’re all Republicans,’ and I replied, ‘Today, we’re all Republicans,’” one Dr. Giordano related in 2010. “I’m not a Republican,” added the physician, who treated Reagan, “but I thought for this one day I could be one.” Reagan was…

By Selwyn Duke An analysis of the first 15 months of the Covid pandemic in Germany, population 84 million, found that zero healthy children died of the disease. In this vein, epidemiologist Dr. Knut Wittkowski stated in March-May 2020 that children would be largely unaffected by Covid. The response was censorship (e.g., YouTube removed an interview Wittkowski gave from…

By Selwyn Duke Elon Musk and Paul Ehrlich… Only a minority of people know who Ehrlich was; fewer still would know why I mention the two men together. But they represent diametrically opposed perspectives on a major issue: population growth. Billionaire tech mogul Musk has made news in recent years warning that our below-replacement-level fertility…

By Selwyn Duke Here’s a good question: What’s the point in sending the military to the Mideast to defend the West while also bringing the Mideast to the West? One man who may nod approvingly at this question is commentator Glenn Beck. After all, in 1999 he predicted blood in Manhattan’s streets within 10 years…

By Selwyn Duke “We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence,” stated Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson recently. Actually, we can. So might say a retired police detective who has witnessed the phenomenon firsthand. And, no, this doesn’t require locking up 15 million Americans. All that’s necessary, says Mike McDaniel, that ex-cop-turned commentator, is delivering a…
