By Selwyn Duke When blundering doctors removed one of Hurshell Ralls’ most private parts in 1999, unnecessarily as the story goes, he could never be “made whole” but did get a monetary settlement. Yet youth genitally mutilated in the name of doing the impossible — switching sexes — get nothing but broken bodies, broken promises, broken spirits,…

By Selwyn Duke Years ago, when I worked with children, a parent told me that her daughter had just reached puberty. The girl was seven. Her brother was also “blossoming” — he was 10. Far from being a family of outliers, these kids reflected a common phenomenon: Children today are entering puberty earlier than ever.…

By Selwyn Duke In every mass shooting’s wake, there are understandable complaints about mentally ill people acquiring guns. Yet the U.S. military is apparently putting guns in mentally ill people’s hands, as it’s now recruiting individuals “with a history of ‘self-mutilation,’ bipolar disorder, depression and drug and alcohol abuse,” as USA Today has written. The…

By Selwyn Duke The irony of emphasizing equality of outcome is that this state can only be achieved through unjust inequality of opportunity. This is only one problem, too, with what an outside-the-box thinker might call our favorite modern heresy, Equality Dogma. This phenomenon is still intensifying in America — and if you want a…

By Selwyn Duke When hearing the term “fusion” today, many people may first think of Asian restaurants. Yet this is only because fusion power technology — which holds the promise of delivering clean, abundant energy forever — is ignored amid continual talk about wind and solar. This is a shame because while the latter two technologies are…

By Selwyn Duke Upset and disappointed, many felt betrayed when Senator Joe Manchin cut a deal with ultra-left-wing colleague Chuck Schumer and created the laughably named "Inflation Reduction Act." Yet anyone thus aggrieved should consider a simple fact: As of June 2 of last year, Manchin had voted with Joe Biden 100 percent of the…

By Selwyn Duke There was a time, not really all that long ago, when leftists still claimed they wanted abortion “safe, legal — and rare.” Now they’re raring to go and destroy unborn human life and, in particular, those who help it enter and flourish in this world. A prime example is Senator Elizabeth Warren’s…

By Selwyn Duke Weakness invites aggression. Foreign nations have certainly been feeling their oats the last 18 months, too, with Russia’s Ukraine invasion and China threatening the United States and Taiwan. Now Iran is also roaring, saying it could create nuclear missiles that would turn New York City into “hellish ruins” — and will do so if…

By Selwyn Duke Some call it a conflict of interest. But it turns out that 13 Democrats who support some degree of student loan cancellation have themselves $1.5 million in educational loan debt. One of these congress members, Grace Meng (D-N.Y.), claims that her aim in advocating the relief is “to address racial and economic…

By Selwyn Duke “Study: Lockdowns Save NO Lives. Are Politicians Destroying the Economy for NOTHING?” So wrote The New American (TNA) on April 23, 2020 — in the “pandemic’s” early days. It was one of many examples of TNA and other individuals and entities warning over and over again, early on, that the Covid lockdowns were ineffective at…
