By Selwyn Duke Some may wonder why, in a representative republic, many of our most enforced societal norms are so unrepresentative of the wider population. Why, they may ask, is “wokeness” foisted on a citizenry generally opposed to it? One reason is a man who has been called the “puppet master behind the scenes of…

By Selwyn Duke For quite some years now, the term “narrative” has been common in political circles. It generally has a negative connotation as it’s used to reference a story line — an often largely fictional one — advanced by some ideologically driven entity for political gain.

The American legal system is based on due process, a speedy trial, and humane treatment while awaiting trial. But in the case of the January 6 prisoners, a radically different and inhumane approach holds sway.

But some (erstwhile?) fans are now saying he seems more like the ill wind of politics as usual. The issue? Yang has caved to the mob regarding assailed podcaster Joe Rogan. As 1010 WINS…

By Selwyn Duke Telling the truth about COVID-19 can get you canceled. But criticizing Islam can get you convicted or your head cut off — in France, anyway.
