By Selwyn Duke Imagine that doing your duty could not only mean losing your career, but also becoming a pariah, getting death threats, having your children harassed, and needing armed protection. This increasingly is the reality for many Americans. In fact, intimidation in the legal system, says an ex-Wisconsin judge, is hampering Republicans’ ability to…

By Selwyn Duke Whether or not coronavirus can be spread asymptomatically is perhaps the most important question surrounding the disease. After all, the assumption that it can has been used to justify mask mandates and life-ravaging lockdowns. This is why it’s striking that a major study, involving almost 10 million people, has found zero cases of asymptomatic…

By Selwyn Duke We may assume that being punished for failing to “be kind to each other and not call each other names” was left behind in fourth grade. But mother of two Kate Scottow found out differently, the hard way, when she was arrested for “making use of a public electronic communications network to…

By Selwyn Duke It really is no secret. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did, after all, say during a September United Nations conference that the coronavirus pandemic could be used to advance a “reset” — and he did actually use that word. But while the Canadian leader delighted in the prospect, another prominent figure who spoke…

By Selwyn Duke How do chemicals “decide” to become alive? That they can, and did, is essentially the basis for today’s widely accepted origin-of-life theory. But Rice University professor James Tour, a synthetic organic chemist who is widely considered one of America’s leading experts in nanotechnology and nanoengineering, says this theory is not only unproven…

By Selwyn Duke It’s amazing how quickly the goalpost-shifting Left transitioned from “equality” to “equity.” For those unacquainted with the latter concept, it’s somewhat reminiscent of the Marxist principle, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” But having been updated and racialized, it’s ostensibly “From each group according to its…

By Selwyn Duke Putting “Why do people hate Trump so much?” into a search engine yields a trove of results relating to Americans pondering, proposing, and picking brains (and prevaricating?) regarding the matter. For as much as the president is admired and heroicized by supporters, his staunchest opponents’ feelings run just as deep: They hate…

By Selwyn Duke One mark of a declining civilization is an increasing tendency to value style over substance, awards over acumen, titles over triumphs. Enter “Dr.” Jill Biden, who sought her title for self-aggrandizement purposes but who, after scrutiny of her doctoral dissertation, may “wish she had stuck with ‘Mrs. Biden,’” as one commentator puts it.…

By Selwyn Duke If you want to know why conservatives are batting almost zero in the culture war, consider the recent story about a MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, or “trans”) activist who suggested rhetorically that all children should be put on puberty blockers. For while attempting to oppose the MUSS agenda, some conservative outlets reporting…
