By Selwyn Duke We covered the slavery reparations issue from soup to nuts (and nuttiness). My appearance begins at 31:23. 

By Selwyn Duke Mind your manners, we were told as children. But may you one day have to mind your mind? Mind-reading technology is still considered the stuff of science fiction, of, for example, the alien-origin children in movie Village of the Damned (1960) who could probe others’ thoughts. But China is already using “emotional surveillance technology”…

By Selwyn Duke It’s not that government can’t clamp down on people when it wants to. The J6 prisoners’ treatment proves that abundantly. It’s that when it wants to, it’s not driven by the imperative of justice but the incentive of politics. A prime example is the Jordan Neely/Daniel Penny affair. Neely, 30, the violent,…

By Selwyn Duke Some may call it having created a monster. Others may say he’s being hoist with his own petard. What’s for sure is that after helping create his state’s “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans,” California Governor Gavin Newsom is stuck between a rock and a very, very…

By Selwyn Duke Given that every member of his party voted for the legislation, perhaps it’s no surprise that Governor Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) signed into law Tuesday a bill that would allow his state to hide minors from parents. And why? So the kids could proceed with sexual-distortion treatments (SDTs), euphemistically known as “gender-affirming care,”…

By Selwyn Duke In 2010, a lame-duck Democrat Congress passed Michelle Obama’s brainchild, “Healthy and Hunger Free Kids Act.” Anyone acquainted with government-program “results” won’t be surprised to hear the outcome was the precise opposite of what the law’s name indicated: Starved of calories, many kids actually went hungry in schools. The garbage pails didn’t,…

By Selwyn Duke Anheuser-Busch’s mistake in making ties with “trans influencer” Dylan Mulvaney was not knowing, or at least not respecting, its market. The United States is making the same mistake on the geopolitical stage, pushing the “trans” and other woke agendas on a world either wholly uninterested, or actually disgusted, by what Uncle Sam…

By Selwyn Duke Years ago at a recreational facility, I saw a man wearing a shirt stating, “Everybody lies. Nobody cares.” He didn’t seem like an aspiring politician (or any kind of lawyer!), but could a message about everyone stealing and no one caring be next? There is a connection there, too: Liars rob their…

By Selwyn Duke There has been a recent deluge of articles claiming, citing studies, that “red” states flow red with blood — the blood of their lax gun policies’ victims. The data, indicating that conservative states have significantly higher homicide rates than liberal ones, have been widely touted by anti-Second Amendment activists as an argument…

By Selwyn Duke What is a “weapon of war”? Given all the talk about how such things mustn’t be on our streets — the claim that a firearm thus designated mustn’t be available to citizens — it’s an important question. If by the phrase is meant a weapon designed for or used in warfare present…
