By Selwyn Duke “Let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion,” warned George Washington during his farewell address in 1796. Increasingly, however, this supposition is indulged, most recently in an article boldly claiming, “Scientists say you don’t need to be religious to have a ‘moral compass.’” Of course, a…

By Selwyn Duke As you read this, X marks the spot. That is, the spot for controversy and congregation, as the social-media platform is inspiring hatred from the iron-muzzle censorship crowd and participation from those seeking an online free-speech haven. And while X’s (Twitter’s) impending demise has been gleefully predicted by many, owner Elon Musk…

By Selwyn Duke There’s a new policy out of the Mile-High City that’s making some wonder just what it’s high on. After all, the initiative, called “language justice,” could conceivably turn the whole country into a Tower of Babel…. Read the rest here.

By Selwyn Duke “Media literacy” sounds like something no one should oppose. Who, after all, wants people illiterate in any respect? But it turns out that while media literacy is trumpeted as a way to sleuth Truth, it’s really a Trojan horse. According to the Center for Media Literacy (CML), media literacy “is the ability to access,…

By Selwyn Duke Authoring the DACA amnesty, promoting “sanctuary” cities, enabling the false claim that border agents whipped migrants, and allegedly ignoring asylum fraud apparently aren’t enough for Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. In fact, Joe Biden’s border chief is trying to outdo himself, again, with his latest woke absurdity: He has ordered border guards to…

It wouldn’t be the last time, either, Joe Biden’s Covid point man would advise that Americans be compelled to take the then-new and largely untested coronavirus “vaccines.” This had an…

I wish you a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving. And let's all remember that integral to the celebration is giving thanks.  And this year, I'm going to publish a transcription of George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation:  By the President of the United States of America—   A Proclamation   Whereas it is the duty of all…

By Selwyn Duke “It’s more complicated when it’s about your own children,” said a New York City liberal years ago, reacting to “diversity” efforts in his kids’ school. It’s also more complicated, apparently, when it’s about your own power and position — then, suddenly, Diversity™ may not seem so appealing. Just ask 2024 candidates Adam Schiff and Katie Porter;…

By Selwyn Duke Could you imagine telling your kids that you weren’t going to have money for home security, their schoolbooks, or grandma’s meals because you want to support some squatters who invaded your property? This is analogous to what’s now happening in New York City, where left-wing Mayor Eric Adams has announced budget cuts…

By Selwyn Duke We probably wouldn’t be surprised if we learned that making women believe femininity was bad harmed their mental health. Ditto for convincing children that having a childlike nature is bad. So perhaps it’s also no shock that, according to a recent study, convincing men masculinity is a negative force damages their psyches.…
