  • Following the Science, Trump Rescinds Biden Plastic Straw Ban

    Straw in Drink2By Selwyn Duke

    For the greentopian Left, is this the last straw? Actually, with how President Trump is shaking up the system — taking Nancy Pelosi’s advice to be a “disruptor” — probably not. But an executive order he signed today will perhaps ensure that we don’t have our last straw. That is, our last plastic one.

    The order reverses the Biden administration ban on so-called “single-use” plastics in the federal government. While Biden’s order, announced last summer, applied to plastic cutlery and packaging as well, the straws received the most attention. The kicker:

    The prohibition surely did nothing to improve the environment.

  • Canada as 51st State Would Provide U.S. With a Certain Abundant Resource: LEFTISM

    Globe With Canada as StateBy Selwyn Duke

    Rightist President Donald Trump and uber-left-wing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau don’t have much in common. But there’s one area where they’re wholly aligned.

    They both agree that Trump is serious about making the Great White North the 51st state.

    The president made his northern ambitions clear during a Super Bowl pre-show interview on Sunday. When asked by Fox News’ Bret Baier if his talk of absorbing Canada is “a real thing,” he answered “Yeah, it is.” Trudeau also said it was “a real thing” at a recent closed-door meeting with business and labor leaders. But would it be a wise thing?

    Certainly, analysts say, it would benefit Canada economically, at least over the short term. And the U.S. would have access to the nation’s vast natural resources. There are political implications, too, however, because Canada is “rich” in another resource: left-wing voters.

    Without question, making Canada the 51st state would pull the U.S. “left.” Moreover, making each of the country’s 10 provinces and three territories states — perhaps more likely under an annexation scenario — could make us Vermont with a Seattle chaser. Let’s break down the electoral realities and illuminate the topic.

  • The Left Keeps Underestimating Trump; Meanwhile, the Dems Are “in a Body Bag”

    Back to School DuncecapBy Selwyn Duke

    “They misunderestimated me,” then-President-elect George W. Bush famously said about his political opponents after his 2000 election victory. While it’s perhaps easy underestimating someone so prone to malapropisms and mangling syllables, “Dubya” was right. There’s a lesson there, too — one that, more than a generation later, the Democrats still haven’t learned.

    Just consider President Donald Trump. The Left, and the GOPE, laughed and laughed and laughed at him — and then laughed some more. They’re still laughing. But the laughter has now taken on a crazy, plaintive character, reminiscent of a man in a straitjacket and rubber room rocking back and forth and, amid sobs, breaking out in intermittent, maniacal cachinnation, as he blocks out a reality he cannot accept.

  • Booting Beelzebub: Trump Targets Anti-Christian Bias in Government

    American Eagle-OriginalBy Selwyn Duke

    Christians “should be eradicated without hesitation or remorse.” So remarked an “elite” respondent years ago in a sociological study that documented anti-Christian bigotry in the United States. And just this week, too, we heard that the Idaho National Guard allegedly has a “no Christians in command” policy. But the man in command of our executive branch, President Donald Trump, has resolved to end such prejudice. At least, that is, in the federal government. Per USA Today:

  • The Pinocchio Party? The “Anti-disinformation” Left Can’t Stop Lying

    PinnochioBy Selwyn Duke

    There’s an old joke, the butt of which changes depending on the time and its personalities. But it could be rendered like this: “How do you know when leftists are lying?”

    Answer: “Their lips will be moving.”

    (Unless they’re ventriloquists, I suppose, and have a puppet not named Joe Biden.)

  • USAID Is History’s “Largest Criminal Fraud Operation,” and Here’s a SHOCKING List of Abuses

    Map of the World-Fraud2By Selwyn Duke

    Ponder the following examples of your tax money at work. USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development, paid almost $2 million to empower “transgender” organizations in Guatemala. It spent about $1.5 million to promote the “LGBTQ+ diversity” agenda in Serbia. It also reportedly allowed at least $151 million in aid money to go to terrorists in Gaza and the West Bank. Here’s what’s even worse, too:

    Far from being anomalies, this reflects long-standing USAID abuses.

    Moreover, if you want to know why the Left has been so politically and culturally powerful for so long, part of the reason is that entities such as USAID have been funding hard-left causes for decades — again, with money extracted from Americans at, metaphorically speaking, the end of a gun. And wait till you see the short list, farther down below, of the organization’s malevolent use of those funds.

  • The Beast Lives On: DEI Is ALREADY Being Rebranded

    MonsterBy Selwyn Duke

    Just two weeks ago I warned, to echo Mark Twain, that rumors of DEI’s death are greatly exaggerated. While “the label ‘DEI’ is new, the product it identifies is more than half a century old,” I stated. … And make no mistake, its predicates are still embedded in our culture.”

    For this reason, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) will “live on under a different guise,” I later added. For “it’s as much a symptom as a cause.” This brings us to a headline the New York Post ran just this weekend.

    “No ‘death’ for diversity,” it reads: “How DEI is being rebranded — not disbanded.”

    Well, that didn’t take long.

    In fact, perhaps the social-engineering leviathan deserves credit. It turns out that by the time I’d written my piece, January 21, DEI had already been busy shape-shifting.

  • Yes, Obama and Biden Dumbed Down Air Traffic Controllers and the FAA

    Boy Looking at JetBy Selwyn Duke

    What do you think of the following information about the hiring of air traffic controllers? Candidates “whose worst subject in high school was science [and who played a lot of sports] and candidates who are unemployed receive the most points possible on the test” (for the position), wrote The Blaze in 2018. “In contrast, licensed pilots and those with extensive air traffic control knowledge aren’t highly scored.” How could this be?

    It was the result of “diversity” efforts — what’s now called DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) — instituted under Barack Obama and continued by Joe Biden. It gets worse, though, too.

    These Obama-era DEI efforts also created a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) push to hire people who are deaf, blind, and/or have “severe intellectual” and “psychiatric disabilities.”

  • Study: Gen Zers Want Safety Above All Else. Will They Trade Liberty for It?

    Big Man Stepping on Small ManBy Selwyn Duke

    Ah, those carefree days of youth, when kids feel so bulletproof that they may seem oblivious to their own mortality. Well, that’s the way it was, anyway. If a new study is to be believed, however, this has changed, with Gen Z young people being more mother hen than rowdy rooster.

    In fact, a new “Teen Snapshot” study reveals that to these youngsters, safety is “Priority #1.”

    While this finding may please Nervous Nellie moms coast to coast, it itself may be cause for worry. A famous saying from Benjamin Franklin illustrates why. “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety,” it goes, “deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
