By Selwyn Duke They call it closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. But Chicago has an interesting way of dealing with looters, who ransacked the city Sunday night. Don’t punish the miscreants sufficiently to deter the criminal behavior. Instead, close thruway exits and raise drawbridges — “shut down” the city’s downtown, in…

By Selwyn Duke With 2020’s election shaping up to be another historic contest, there are two mutually opposed, “hidden” factors that will likely shape the outcome. One is Big Tech manipulation and mail-in vote fraud, which can literally shift millions of votes toward Democrats. The other involves perhaps massive numbers of Trump voters who’ve “gone…

By Selwyn Duke A New Jersey principal lacking principle has angered residents by calling a pro-police flag “racist” in a move that, via guilt by association, likewise tars the students who innocently waved it. In fact, outraged local parent Brian Nashel appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight last Friday, after having written a letter of complaint, to make…

By Selwyn Duke Dr. Anthony Fauci recently said that the United States doesn’t need another lockdown. What he didn’t say is that we never needed the first one to begin with, as the wide-scale lockdown was an untried strategy driven by politics and not science and is, it has now become clear, an unmitigated failure.  Read the…

By Selwyn Duke Our Dr. Anthony Fauci certainly is a well-rounded individual: He has enough positions for any 10 men, changing them like clothes a bit like Superman in the phone booth. Perhaps this is why his latest comforting counsel, that Americans don’t need another COVID-19 lockdown “if,” isn’t really all that comforting after all.…

By Selwyn Duke If Lady Justice isn’t dead in America, she certainly in the least has dementia. Many may conclude this after yet another apparent inversion-of-justice case in which a victim is allegedly being punished while his victimizer goes free. Read the rest here.

By Selwyn Duke They’re not yet being thrown in gulags like dissenting biologists in the Lysenkoist USSR, but there is an ominous similarity: As in the old Soviet Union, scientists rejecting the government narrative in our nation are now being erased from public view. A case in point is Dr. Simone Gold, a Los Angeles…

By Selwyn Duke In what one local resident called “criminal extortion,” Black Lives Matter “activists” in Kentucky’s largest city have threatened businesses in its East Market District, also known as NuLu (New Louisville). Meet our demands for racial reparations, they warn, or we’ll tarnish you with bad (false) online reviews. Read the rest here.

By Selwyn Duke You know you’re in mass hysteria’s grip when actions taken to combat a problem don’t bear any relationship to reality. So it is with the Wuhan coronavirus, with, for example, schools shut down even though we’ve long known there’s virtually no risk of children either dying from or spreading the disease. Then…

By Selwyn Duke It’s not what politicians say they’re going to do that you most have to worry about, and this isn’t just because they’re notorious for breaking promises. It’s that it’s what they don’t say they’re going to do, but do anyway once in power, that’s far worse. A good example is the Democrats’…
