  • Government Spends Billions of YOUR Money to Build … NOTHING

    Banana RepublicBy Selwyn Duke

    “The best government is that which governs least,” goes the old saying. And if ever there were evidence for this proposition, it’s our federal government’s efforts at creating infrastructure. In fact, I built more as a child playing with Lincoln Logs and LEGO blocks than the feds do via some of its billion-dollar projects.

    Consider, for example, a plan the government hatched three years ago to lay thousands of miles of fiber-optic cable. Costing $65 billion, this effort’s goal was to bring high-speed internet to all of America. (So everyone can watch online porn.) And how many are connected today, three years later?

    Zero.

    In fact, “Not a single project is underway,” relates investigative journalist John Stossel in a new video report.

  • Newsweek: “Biden’s ‘Preemptive Pardons’ Once Again Prove That the Democrats’ Accusations Are Confessions”

    Banana RepublicBy Selwyn Duke

    Are preemptive pardons the inverse of preemptive convictions? Sometimes, yes, because they can be equally unjust.

    In the wake of Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son Hunter, something he said he would not do, we learned that Biden (his handlers, to be precise) is considering “preemptive pardons” for certain ex-government officials and administration allies. These include Dr. Anthony Fauci, the ex-bureaucrat responsible for much destructive Covid-19 policy; and Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and former representative Liz Cheney, who were party to Congress’ January 6 Committee shenanigans.

    Of course, deep staters justify this by claiming that President Trump wants to persecute political opponents. Here’s what they don’t say:

    Pardoning allies (partners in crime?) is a good way to ensure they won’t implicate you.

  • After Winning a Political Battle Nov. 5, Can We Now Win the Culture War?

    Donkey-ElephantBy Selwyn Duke

    On December 7, 1941, Japan won a victory so resounding at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, that a casual observer might have considered its empire an unstoppable force. Yet the Land of the Rising Sun never had a chance. With an industrial base dwarfed by that of the United States, its eventual defeat was inevitable. This lesson from history is applicable to our time’s cold political/culture conflicts and raises a question.

    Patriotic Americans won a convincing political victory November 5, but can they now turn the tide in the culture war?

    That depends, says one commentator, on whether they recognize that “cutesy time is over” and start playing for keeps.

    Put differently, it hinges on whether we, after striking a blow against the political establishment, continue following the cultural establishment. Can we truly think and act outside the box? Doing so is important for a simple reason:

    We’ve been put in that box by the cultural devolutionaries — by the enemy within. It is a box they created.

    And, well, we’re in dire need of repackaging.

  • SICK: Taylor Lorenz and Fellow Leftists Celebrate Healthcare CEO’s Murder

    Demonic GirlBy Selwyn Duke

    Certain people in our society are members of what has been called the “culture of death.” They have outed themselves again, too, in a most shocking way: Celebrating the murder of the healthcare CEO assassinated Wednesday on a Manhattan street.

    What’s more, in this they’re not just cheering the murder of a man. They’re also, usually unwittingly, enabling the murder of the United States’ first-world status as Third World behavior becomes normalized.

  • Bill O’Reilly: The “Woke Companies Flying Under the Radar”

    Politically CorrectBy Selwyn Duke

    Some companies advertise their fall from grace. Bud Light, for example, signaled descent into woke darkness with a “trans” influencer ad campaign. It didn’t end well (though, really, it hasn’t yet ended). Jaguar exhibited symptoms of mad cat disease with a commercial featuring what look like sexually confused extraterrestrials visiting Earth. Whether this results in the auto manufacturer blazing past the finish line or just being finished remains to be seen.

    But then there are the companies that, keeping their wokeness close to the vest, damage society without attracting attention. And on his show No Spin News Monday, commentator Bill O’Reilly exposed a number of such quietly woke brands. Let’s take a look at them.

  • Town Fined 10K for Not Celebrating “Pride” Month — and Other Foreign Craziness

    Pride FlagBy Selwyn Duke

    With the election of Donald Trump, many Americans are hopeful that so-called wokeness will go the way of the dodo. Yet as recent warnings inform, such cultural change requires, well, a change in the culture (not just the politics). And perhaps helpful in this regard is considering what happens when a civilization continues down the rabbit hole of relativism. We have many such examples, too — they’re called foreign countries.

  • WARNING: “We Are Still at War”

    Angel vs. DemonBy Selwyn Duke

    The above claim, made just recently, is not about our Ukraine-proxy war with Russia. It’s not about our continuing military actions against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. It’s not about something as mundane as how the U.S. is, technically, still at war with North Korea. Rather, it’s about an ongoing, existential conflict against the most dangerous enemy of all: ourselves.

    Or, to be precise, that would be the enemy within — and the good Americans who unwittingly aid that enemy.

  • U.S. in a “State of Undeclared Emergency,” Report Warns

    MunitionsBy Selwyn Duke

    “If you want peace, prepare for war,” goes the adage. Yet in the U.S. in recent decades, it’s as if we’ve been preparing for peace while waging war. The result?

    Our stockpiles of weapons are so dangerously low that we have only one to three weeks of munitions available for a major conflict. Worse still:

    We no longer can produce weapons sufficiently fast to replenish these stocks during such a conflict.

  • Attacking Trump Voters, View Host Mistakes “Schooling” for Education

    Girls in SchoolBy Selwyn Duke

    “Never let your schooling interfere with your education,” goes the apocryphal saying. (No, it’s not from Mark Twain, though the schooled are more likely than the educated to think so.) It is a truth, too, an important one to grasp — especially for pseudo-elites who demean the unschooled as “uneducated.”

    Enter ABC network’s Sunny Hostin. Hostin, who’s never sunny, offered election analysis on a recent episode of The View. Trump’s victory wasn’t attributable to black men’s support, she stated, as almost 80 percent of them voted for Kamala Harris. Rather, the problem was that 47 percent of “Latino” men supported Trump along with, by her lights, benighted white women.

    “What we did not have is white women,” she said, “who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump — uneducated white women is my understanding.”

  • The Most Important Votes Are Yet to Be Cast

    The choices we make in our daily lives shape our culture and the type of country we have. After all, politics is downstream from culture.

    Man VotingBy Selwyn Duke

    With President Donald Trump’s historic and resounding election victory, many are relieved. His supporters may feel, “Mission accomplished!” while his opponents (those not throwing tantrums) might’ve resigned themselves to reality. There’s a sense that we can breathe easier now, relax, and return to “life as normal.” Yet overlooked is that the most important ballots are yet to be cast. 

    What am I talking about? We cast votes every time we buy a product or service, pay for a movie or imbibe other entertainment, watch a news broadcast, purchase a newspaper or view a website, use a search engine, send a child to a school or college, or express a belief. These choices are daily “votes” because they determine what will prevail in our culture. If a news station peddles propaganda, a university destructively indoctrinates youth, a corporation funds perverse agendas, or a Big Tech company nefariously influences our elections, it’s only because too many of us are patronizing it in some way. If the entity’s customers/users disappeared, so would it. If activists are effectively spreading destructive ideas, it’s only because too many of us are tolerating it. In other words, our daily market/social-realm votes serve to shape our culture, and this matters because, as the late Andrew Breitbart famously put it, “Politics is downstream from culture.”
