By Selwyn Duke We’ve already heard the suggestion that black Americans’ votes should be worth twice those of their white countrymen as a form of reparations. We’ve also heard an economist estimate that providing full monetary reparations to blacks would cost approximately $14 trillion. Now there’s another brilliant reparations idea, one related by a black congresswoman: Blacks…

By Selwyn Duke “Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They’re wrong,” proclaimed an NBC headline this past December. Citing “new FBI data,” the outlet was essentially telling Americans that they shouldn’t believe their lyin’ eyes. But, it turns out, it’s the data themselves that may be deceptive. This is the conclusion of…

By Selwyn Duke Many years ago, I read a quite rational atheist commenter online who said that while he didn’t believe in God, he feared what a de-Christianized West would bring. Now, a couple of decades later, he’s perhaps joined in that sentiment by the man who’s probably the world’s most famous living atheist, evolutionary…

By Selwyn Duke Famed general Hannibal Barca set out to invade his day’s greatest European power, Rome, with 37 elephants. Today, 2,200 years later, Botswana is making him look like a piker, floating the idea of sending 20,000 pachyderms to our time’s greatest European economic power, Germany. And though this is a war of words…

By Selwyn Duke It’s almost 20 years ago now that I wrote an essay, which raised some eyebrows and was even reprinted, titled “How We Will Lose Our Freedom of Speech.” What it predicts hasn’t yet come to pass, but we are well down the iron-muzzle rabbit hole. Good examples are a climate alarmist and a Harvard “dishonesty researcher”…

By Selwyn Duke Whether you consider Satan sinister spirit or symbol, he’s assuredly in style. A good example is the 2016-2021 series Lucifer; a more recent one is a concert put on by aging pop star Madonna, an event including a reportedly blasphemous use of a prayer hymn that narrates Jesus’s crucifixion. Of course, many will dismiss this…

By Selwyn Duke Playing on the politics of fear, a major Democratic and media talking point has been that you’d better not vote for President Trump in November because he’s “a threat to democracy.” But not so fast, says a scion of a famed Democratic family: It is Joe Biden, not Trump, who truly threatens…

By Selwyn Duke We’ve all heard the number: “There are 11 million illegal aliens in the United States.” Yet this figure isn’t just illusory, says an ex-U.S. Border Patrol agent — it’s laughable. In fact, even the 22.1 million illegals a 2018 MIT study estimated were squatting in our country may be a low-end number, according to…

By Selwyn Duke Liberalism, it is claimed, is associated with tolerance. But you wouldn’t know it from a new study finding that of the 10 states with the most religious-discrimination complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), eight gave their electoral votes to Joe Biden in 2020. Not surprisingly, there’s a secularism connection,…

By Selwyn Duke We discussed illegal migration and weird science. I was firing on all cylinders.
