By Selwyn Duke “China is a sleeping giant,” French leader Napoleon Bonaparte once reportedly said. “Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move the world.” While we’re “woke,” China finally is wide awake and she is moving the world. And she’s now also trying to move into the Atlantic, warns a top American general.…

By Selwyn Duke As the statist-controlled federal government burgeons and blows money, opportunities abound for activists to turn their passions into programs and policy. And now one “civil rights” group wants “a cross agency/department national task force responsible for ending” what it calls “the epidemic of murders against the transgender community.” This is despite the…

By Selwyn Duke China already produces 10 times as many scientists as the United States does despite having just about four times our population. Of course, quantity doesn’t speak to quality. But our woke federal overlords want to degrade the latter, too, as the White House is now waging a war on merit in the…

By Selwyn Duke Should the opinions on COVID-19 of 40 doctors and a number of scientists and researchers who have investigated the matter be heard? Not according to a bunch of techies who wouldn’t know a virus from an iris unless the former comprised computer code. Thus did web platform Kartra “cut the cable” to…

By Selwyn Duke Having magnificent soldiers, small Finland’s claim to historical fame is having savaged Soviet forces during World War II. Now, however, the nation is turning its guns on Christian faith — at least, that is, insofar as it’s expressed authentically. If this seems an exaggeration, just consider what has befallen Päivi Räsänen, an…

By Selwyn Duke George Santayana’s famous saying “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” requires some delineation: Those who cannot remember the triumphs of the past are likely condemned not to repeat them, and Those who are told the mistakes of the past were triumphs will repeat them. New York City parent Andrew Gutmann understands this well. Gutmann, who attracted national attention by…

By Selwyn Duke Value-signaling is all fun and games — until the vagrant sets up a tent on your sidewalk. Then it becomes real. And this kind of reality-delivered slap in the face is apparently what recently caused residents of Austin, Texas — a notoriously liberal city — to reject measures pushed by progressives. The…

By Selwyn Duke For “all intents and purposes, I am a woman,” said Bruce Jenner, who now calls himself Caitlyn, to journalist Diane Sawyer in 2015. But if one of those purposes is sports, a man claiming female status is apparently not a woman, the ex-Olympian and California gubernatorial contender tacitly admitted Saturday. Read the rest…

By Selwyn Duke Perhaps there’s something about the fraction a third. But that’s how many angels are said to have followed Lucifer into Hell. It’s also the percentage of employees at a software company named Basecamp who recently quit after their boss told them they could no longer turn the workplace into a hell of…

By Selwyn Duke  Perhaps politicized “science,” which isn’t science at all, is inevitable when you don’t have a separation of science and state. But this increasingly is what we have, and the latest example is striking: Instead of acting in children’s best interests, the Centers for Disease control followed teachers’ unions’ will on reopening schools.…
