By Selwyn Duke A person obsessed with gambling may focus on it so much, and squander so much money, that his family’s needs remain unmet. Such is the result of obsession — including when that obsession is wokeness. Some may wonder if this explains why San Francisco, which devotes time and money promoting political correctness,…

By Selwyn Duke A shocking three-quarters or more of research studies in many fields are bunk, reported the Economist in 2013, illustrating the troubling fact that scientific fraud is far worse than most imagine. Thus is it also troubling that, if a Harvard dishonesty researcher’s actions are any guide, criticizing and ferreting out scientific fraud could become…

By Selwyn Duke A good way to frame the problem with “relying on experts” is to consider that a good number of Supreme Court opinions are 5-4. So all these people are supposedly juridical “experts,” but end up on opposite sides of many legal questions. Another way of saying this is that roughly half of…

By Selwyn Duke To modern ears, using the term “pagan” pejoratively may smack of a supposed medieval intolerance, conjuring up images of a robed monk praying in candlelight or, maybe, of a Bible-thumping 19th-century missionary. In fact, pagan status may be considered hip and edgy today, embraced by people who rarely if ever know that…

By Selwyn Duke Imagine this scenario: You inherit a home from your parents and put it up for sale. But then, shockingly, you learn that in your absence, squatters have begun living in your house and won’t leave. But then one day you have an opportunity to change the locks and be rid of the…

By Selwyn Duke It’s ironic, and amusing, that “diversity” partially derives from an Old French word meaning “wickedness, perversity” and, perhaps more fittingly, from a Latin term meaning “contrariety, contradiction, disagreement.” Of course, it doesn’t mean anything approximating that in its standard usage today, yet it may as well if a new government report is any…

By Selwyn Duke We discussed how the statists are importing millions of illegals — a foreign army — to help them achieve unassailable political power nationwide. And part of this involves using these people to steal, via the apportionment process, congressional seats from more conservative states. My segment is the very first one and begins…

By Selwyn Duke Does “dumbed down” epitomize today’s America? Many would answer yes, pointing to affirmative-action Ivy League presidents and even air-traffic controllers as cases in point. Now there’s another example, too: The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) is eliminating its “physical ability test.” Why? It’s not that the recent-years attacks on law enforcement have…

By Selwyn Duke Talk about saying the quiet part out loud. People aiming to destroy America will generally deny their motivations and hide behind a facade of “enlightened” civil-rights activism. One Kayla Aliese Carter no doubt often did, too, which perhaps explains her being hired by College Park, Maryland, to be their “racial equity officer.”…

By Selwyn Duke Some say it was the worst call they’ve ever seen in high-school basketball. The scene was the recent NJSIAA Group 2 state semifinal game between New Jersey team Camden — a powerhouse that hadn’t lost to another NJ public-school squad in five years — and underdog Manasquan. Down 46-45 after Camden player…
