By Selwyn Duke ESPN just had in July the lowest ratings ever in its 41-year history, but this hasn’t stopped the network from dealing with its woke-joke status by doubling down. Its latest fumble is to apply affirmative action to the gridiron and broadcast football games based on skin color. This pigskin prejudice takes the…

By Selwyn Duke Perhaps a clue is that the politicians who insist on instituting mask mandates are shown, repeatedly, to not be too fond of actually wearing masks themselves. But whether they know better or just believe they are better, here’s reality: At best, mask mandates do nothing to reduce society-level coronavirus spread. At worst, they lead…

By Selwyn Duke Call “it Oceania in 1984 or the Soviet Union in 1965. It doesn't matter.” “The one thing it isn't anymore is America 1776.” So laments one writer talking about the story of a political prisoner. It’s a story most Americans haven’t heard and some Americans wouldn’t believe. But it’s all too true — and what…

In fact, contrary to the assurances of those once saying that “woke” students would change when hitting the “real world,” it has long been apparent that they actually change that world and make it more unreal.

The “truth is,” she continued, “that they really weren’t.”  While true that even some contemporary cultures (e.g., the Taliban)…

By Selwyn Duke The federal government’s violation of its border commitments “does in fact empower any border state to control their own sovereign territory.” So said Stephen Miller, ex-senior advisor to President Donald Trump, on Tuesday’s edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight. Miller was, of course, referencing the southern-border invasion being wink-and-nod facilitated by the Biden administration…

By Selwyn Duke “Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die,” wrote poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson in 1854. While the line implies that military men must do their duty and obey superiors regardless of cost, we know there are such things as illegal orders. There are also irrational, suicidal orders, such as…

By Selwyn Duke “First, do no harm…” — to the state’s official ideology. This seems to be the message with, according to a report, people increasingly labeled “mentally ill” and being compelled to see psychiatrists for opposing irrational COVID-19 mask mandates. In fact, one law student was reportedly likened to a mass shooter, threatened with…

By Selwyn Duke What do you call it when half the population doesn’t feel free to protest at their own nation’s Capitol? Some call it the situation we’re now in — and they say that the recent “Justice for J6” (January 6 prisoners) rally is Exhibit A. The September 18 event was always a no-win…
