By Selwyn Duke A few decades ago we had Al Gore, who boasted about fighting Big Tobacco not 10 years after boasting about having grown mucho tobacco. Now we have the third-millennium version of smoking out of both sides of your mouth: New York Governor Kathy Hochul is reportedly “test marketing” a complete ban on…

By Selwyn Duke Fifty-five years ago already, Star Trek portrayed civilizations that worshiped über-powerful, artificially intelligent computers. In “The Return of the Archons” (1967), controlled and sometimes terrified people speak of the “will of Landru,” who is “everywhere” and stamps out individuality to absorb humans into a collective called “The Body.” In “The Apple” (1967), a planet’s…

By Selwyn Duke “The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them down between the millstones of taxation and inflation,” goes a line apparently misattributed to Vladimir Lenin. While the quotation is more likely a paraphrase of Lenin by famed economist John Maynard Keynes, it also “seems like a pretty good description of what…

By Selwyn Duke In our pronoun wars, a simple truth is generally missed: People don’t have pronouns. Languages do. Anyone not enjoying a Rip Van Winkle slumber for the last 20 years will know that the above alludes to the “personal pronoun” obsession of the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) activists. Yet pronoun-norm manipulation…

By Selwyn Duke We tackled this issue because, lamentably, many people today are making the case that Jesus was a socialist — and many are believing them. But the Truth will set you free.

By Selwyn Duke If you’re a regular guy or gal and fancy yourself normal, think again. Because since you’re not a hermaphrodite, you just may be an “extreme” manifestation “of the sex spectrum.” That is, according to the University of Texas Southwestern (UTS) Medical Center. This is essentially what it’s teaching students via its Human…

By Selwyn Duke Sometimes drug-addled and overly coddled, Hunter Biden isn’t generally viewed as a font of competence. But when the prey is cash, an enormously effective Hunter he is.
