By Selwyn Duke For every Republican in newsrooms, there are 10 Democrats,” famed investigative journalist John Stossel recently pointed out. That this imbalance exists isn’t new — nor is it a groundbreaking revelation that it results in profound media bias. Nonetheless, the consequent propaganda is still effective; so much so that, related Professor Tim Groseclose…

By Selwyn Duke It’s called “the narrative” — which is usually just a polite name for a fashionable lie. A black Ivy League academic has learned the price of contradicting cherished narratives, too: threat to life and limb. In fact, after releasing a credible study finding “no evidence of racial bias” in police shootings, Harvard…

By Selwyn Duke Unlike the avowedly atheistic Soviets, the WWII-era Nazis didn’t bluntly try to suppress Christianity. Rather, they sought to reinvent it for their own purposes, conjuring up something called “Positive Christianity,” which held that Jesus was a Nordic character persecuted by a Jewish establishment. Those National Socialists and their particular perversion of faith…

By Selwyn Duke When discussing shootings’ causes, conservatives will say it’s the people, not the guns; liberals will focus on the guns, not the people. And does it not accord with the latter theory when, in the Kansas City shooting’s wake, authorities are withholding the identities of the “people” responsible and are fixating on guns?…

By Selwyn Duke It took man millennia to advance from superstition to the scientific method. Now it might take the atavistic Biden administration only a moment to regress. Some may thus conclude with the revelation that the “Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could soon employ ‘Indigenous Knowledge’ in their…

By Selwyn Duke When arguing against a given minimum wage (e.g., $15/hour), late radio giant Rush Limbaugh would sometimes rhetorically ask: Why stop there? If that amount is good, wouldn’t a $50 minimum wage be even better? It’s unknown whether Limbaugh would’ve even suspected that a statist would make his “illustrating absurdity by being absurd” example a…

By Selwyn Duke SWAT they're not? In this episode of Outside the Overton Window, famed cop Dirty Harry has something to say about that all-female Chilean SWAT team that recently made a splash (falling in the water, that is) at a recent police competition. And I, your humble host, have a few thoughts, too.

By Selwyn Duke Too old? That’s ageism, you bigot! Canceled you must be. The idea of a septuagenarian SWAT team comes to mind after watching a viral video of a Chilean all-female team’s grand failure at the recent UAE SWAT Dubai Police Challenge (yes, there is such a thing). ’Twas a sight to behold.

By Selwyn Duke “The right to swing my arms in any direction ends where your nose begins,” children would sometimes hear years ago, from teachers trying to illustrate the rightful balance of rights. Much like the “sticks and stones may break my bones” free-speech lesson, however, it’s not related to kids much anymore. It shows,…

By Selwyn Duke When hearing people boast that they’re “inclusive,” your first response should be, “Of what?” After all, to include some in a limited-size group means excluding others. Enter The Walt Disney Company — and billionaire industrialist Elon Musk. Early yesterday evening, Musk posted on X a Disney document that outlines discriminatory hiring practices…
