By Selwyn Duke Having control of the media, academia, and entertainment, the Left has long been effective at giving the radical and new (or previously rejected) status-quo status. Enter Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). Reacting to liberal establishment fears that her set’s socialist agitation is pulling the party too far left, she has claimed that it’s…

By Selwyn Duke A new curriculum, in schools across the nation, teaches that America is a deeply racist nation with a “hierarchy of various oppressions,” as an observer recently put it. Called “Deep Equity,” it demonizes whites while deep-sixing debate, instructing teachers to reject and resist parents who disagree. The idea is that dissenting white…

By Selwyn Duke After fleeing communism in his native Romania, Andrei Serban likely never thought he’d have to flee it a second time — in the United States. That is, until oppressive identity politics demands forced the award-winning theater director to resign his tenured position at Columbia University, which Serban said is “on its way…

By Selwyn Duke Existing before even Roman times, Germanic peoples long predate “Germany,” which wasn’t created till 1871.

Professor N’Diaye, a black Muslim anthropologist and…

This question is again raised now that yet another scientist has questioned Charles Darwin’s famous 19th-century theory. At issue is the new book Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose, which has been endorsed by three…

By Selwyn Duke It’s truly not shocking that a political leader would be a reprobate behind closed doors. From Caligula to the Marquis de Sade to Bill Clinton, the depraved have always been overrepresented among the ruling classes. It is for this reason that what’s even more distressing about the Katie Hill affair than what…

By Selwyn Duke Mere months after Beijing resident Han Junqing was arrested for practicing Falun Gong, his family was told he’d died. They weren’t allowed to see his body until four weeks after his passing, and then only briefly, but what they saw was truly shocking. “‘There were stitches at the throat area, using very…

By Selwyn Duke Whether or not our climate is changing, our political climate sure has changed, as evidenced by how Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is “an unapologetic bigot, someone who attacks others for the way they were born” — and gets away with it.
