  • 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…

  • Government Schools: When Satan Is Welcomed In, Is It Time to Get Your Kids Out?

    By Selwyn Duke Oklahoma has, some sources say, the dubious distinction of having the greatest number of strong tornadoes per unit area in the United States. One tornado that won’t hit the state, however, is a storm of satanic “ministers” in government schools, says Oklahoma’s top education official. The satanists are, though, announced Superintendent Ryan…

  • Is Our Government Trying to Kill Its Political Opponents in Prison?

    By Selwyn Duke A judge found, back in 2021 already, that government officials violated a January 6 defendant’s civil rights by impeding his access to medical care. That hapless man isn’t alone, either. Other incarcerated 2020 Capitol protesters have alleged likewise, and now, reports hold, there are two more examples of what many would interpret as government attempts…

  • Can You Guess What Is Now Britain’s “Most Despised Minority”?

    By Selwyn Duke It’s ironic. Missionaries from Britain and other Western nations once struck out into the largely unknown, uncivilized world to spread Christianity. Now, says a Scottish-born writer, Christians are “the most despised minority in Britain.” Moreover, this Christophobia permeates the entire Western world — including the United States. It’s also attended, though, by…

  • Houston’s Got No Problem: City Voters Reject Unequal-rights Ordinance

    By Selwyn Duke It was not an idea too big to fail. And it failed big. Voters in Houston, Texas, rejected the controversial and misnamed “Houston Equal Rights Ordinance” (HERO) by a wide margin yesterday. The measure would have extended “special protections” to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and so-called transgender people, along with those in other…
