By Selwyn Duke We discussed the Supreme Court's affirmative-action ruling and the reasons why AA is unjust and counterproductive. My appearance begins at 28:24. 

By Selwyn Duke It seems as if Archie Bunkers are everywhere today — only, their prejudice has gone woke. Bunker, the seasoned among us may know, was the famously amusing ’70s sitcom bigot in hit show All in the Family. Apropos to the story here, in one episode Archie was apoplectic because a black family…

By Selwyn Duke Ice-cream maker Ben & Jerry’s is committed to “truth,” (social) justice, and the un-American way. It’s so committed, in fact, that it, the very soul of class and timing, observed the U.S.’s birthday by tweeting that our nation sits on stolen “indigenous” land and should return it. In particular, the “Chunky Monkey”…

By Selwyn Duke Perhaps it’s that a fat “trans” person identifying as in shape is small potatoes compared to identifying as the opposite sex in the first place. Whatever the case, it apparently doesn’t matter if “transgender” recruits’ pectorals are invading their belly as their belly conquers their belt’s last button because, according to a…

By Selwyn Duke In the wake of the 303 Creative v. Elenis ruling, leftists are very upset. “The Supreme Court is giving people the right to discriminate!” they howl. “What’s happening to this country!” What’s happening is called freedom, actually. In fact, far from establishing a precedent, the court is simply preventing governments from doing the unprecedented:…

By Selwyn Duke Imagine a scenario: An expansionist force that has already seized 70 percent of its neighbor’s territory invades another 15 percent of what remains. The defenders push back and, though outgunned, manage to oust the invaders from 25 percent of the newly taken territory. Yet despite still having lost much land, including during…

By Selwyn Duke Six years ago, French intellectual Christian de Moliner suggested that his nation essentially be divided, with the creation of a quasi-Sharia state within its borders, to avoid civil war with its Muslims. While de Moliner was wrong in his prescription — appeasement never works — his prognosis appears spot-on. In fact, France has for…

By Selwyn Duke It’s a seductive appeal: “Soak the rich!” “Make them pay their fair share!” “Get your piece of the pie!” As Norway is proving with its “wealth tax,” however, there’s a simple reason why this doesn’t work: The rich will simply take their pie to greener (and less meaner) pastures. In fact, ever…

By Selwyn Duke All other things being equal, should black Americans be given more Social Security (SS) benefits? A college dean may think so, claiming that the program’s “structural inequities” shortchange blacks. And what is the problem, according to Thomas LaVeist, the dean of Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine? White people live longer,…

By Selwyn Duke About two decades ago, ex-Vice President Al Gore famously proclaimed that on climate change, the “debate is over” (“in the scientific community,” he added). It wasn’t that many years later that former head of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit Phil Jones confessed, in the Climategate scandal’s wake, that the debate…
