  • America’s Vaunted “Experts”: Often Wrong but Never in Doubt?

    A yellow dunce cap labeled 'DUNCE' sits atop a wooden stool, with a chalkboard in the background displaying the text 'Back to school!'

    By Selwyn Duke

    In our time we’ve traded wise men for experts — Confucius for the credentialed, Aquinas for academicians, Democritus for the degreed. Consequently, we don’t make our ancestors’ bush-league mistakes, such as the Romans using lead pipes, drilling holes in people’s heads to treat mental derangement, or selling radium-laced candy and water.

    We make different bush-league mistakes. In fact, says Rob Long, pondering all the recent decades’ blunders, “you might start to wonder if anyone knows anything.”

  • Here’s the Truth—and it’s Not Pretti

    In reality, the extreme focus on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti’s death is a distraction. It may sound terrible to say because, of course, human life is sacred. (Now, if only the Left accepted this on abortion.) But the real point here is not that Pretti is dead, but what got him that way. And, no, it wasn’t blood-lusting ICE agents salivating for their next victim.

    It was this: a vast network of power-hungry demagogues, foreign financiers of intra-US destabilization, astroturfing communist/socialist activists, and expendable useful-idiot protesters.

    On a simple level, notice that no one is talking about the up-to-$9 billion Somali fraud scandal anymore, the revelation of which caused Governor Tim “Knucklehead” Walz to scuttle his reelection campaign.

    Oh, it threatened to do more such damage to the Democrat Party, too.

    Convenient, huh?

    Then there’s this: Have you heard of Neville Roy Singham? You should have.

    He’s one of the guys who killed Pretti.

  • Buried Scandal: Intel Officer Tracked Hundreds of MILLIONS From Minnesota Day Cares to Terrorists

    A canvas bag overflowing with US dollar bills, showcasing various denominations.

    By Selwyn Duke

    We’re not sure how many kids Minnesota Somali day care centers took care of. But one thing is for certain:

    Some of these facilities took care of financing for al-Shabaab terror networks in Somalia.

    This is to the tune of hundreds of millions, too, a former Navy intelligence officer learned while tracking the funds.

    And, yes, that would be our tax dollars — transferred to alien enemies with Minnesota officials’ complicity by omission. In fact, while whistleblowers warned of the fraud, Governor Tim Walz and other pols ignored the criminality.

    Worse still, with anti-ICE agitation being a nice front-page distraction, this scandal has been swept under the rug.

  • The “Fundamental Transformation” of America Began LONG Before Obama — and Is Complete?

    By Selwyn Duke

    There’s a funny thing about political battles under representative government.

    They’re not actually won or lost in the political realm — not ultimately, anyway.

    No, as the late Andrew Breitbart put it, “Politics is downstream from culture.” And because of our cultural malaise, says one commentator, America is downstream from her best days. In fact, Eric Utter did utter in no uncertain terms Wednesday:

    “The left has taken over.”

  • Report: China’s American-citizen, “James Bond Villain” Tycoon Is Funding Anti-ICE Agitation

    A flag design featuring the American flag on the left side and the Chinese flag on the right side.

    By Selwyn Duke

    Many Americans have expressed frustration with how many products have long been “Made in China.” But now something else may bear that label: the violent anti-ICE protests convulsing our nation. The story?

    An American-born mega-multimillionaire, now residing in China, is helping fund the current anti-ICE agitation with troves of cash.

    What’s more, while this man made his nigh-on billion-dollar fortune under America’s free-market system, he’s a self-professed Marxist who prefers Chinese governance.

  • Charlamagne: De-MAGAfication Will Happen Post-Trump — Like Post-WWII De-Nazification Did

    By Selwyn Duke

    If you’re unsure if President Donald Trump and those supporting “America first” are “just like the Nazis,” wonder no more. No less an intellect than radio host Lenard Larry McKelvey — aka “Charlamagne tha God” — has weighed in. The verdict?

  • Dems and Legacy Media: “I Am Outraged” — Over My Own Latest Lie

    A large illuminated sign displaying 'Truth vs. Lies' in a city street surrounded by people walking and sitting.

    By Selwyn Duke

    When called out for falsely claiming in 2012 that then-presidential nominee Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes in 10 years, the late Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was unrepentant. “Well, they can call it whatever they want,” he self-assuredly said of his lie. “Romney didn’t win, did he?”

    Many would point out that this Machiavellian sentiment absolutely pervades today’s Democratic Party and its PR team, the legacy media. As famed law professor Jonathan Turley put it Saturday, a now-common Democratic mantra is “I am outraged, and you should be too” — over something that’s usually a fabrication.

    Relevant examples abound. Just consider a purported “Truth Social” message from President Donald Trump that someone posted to me on Facebook. Referencing Alex Pretti, the armed agitator shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Saturday, it reads:

  • The Democrats WILL Support Immigration Control—at This Precise Point

    Flag design combining elements of the United States and China flags.

    By Selwyn Duke

    Anyone who thinks the Democrats oppose border control, or even deportation, in principle doesn’t grasp the principle operative here.

    Leftists, morally relativistic/nihilistic to the core, don’t have principles—only provisional preferences. They could one day support the strictest immigration control imaginable, too. When? Well, while I’ll elaborate more on this later, here’s a hint:

    No one wants the apple cart overturned when it’s his apple cart.

  • Major School District Is Discriminating Against White Students, Lawsuit States

    A green roadside sign that says 'WELCOME TO PREJUDICE' and 'STAY STRONG' in white letters.

    By Selwyn Duke

    The kicker: The white students aren’t just being subordinated to black and Hispanic peers, whom they outperform academically. They also must take a back seat to Asian-descent students, who outperform them.

  • Hidden Agenda: This Is the REAL Reason the Dems and Media Hate ICE

    A hand lifting one of three red cups, revealing a small white ball underneath.

    By Selwyn Duke

    The Democrats and legacy media hate ICE. I mean, they really, really despise it, driven by compassion for the huddled masses, right?

    Not exactly. The truth is more nuanced — and darker. Many in media and the useful idiots activists in the streets certainly have been catalyzed into believing Immigration and Customs Enforcement is trampling innocent souls yearning to breathe free. But with Machiavellian, upper-echelon Democrats, the “wrath” either is kabuki theater or, when genuine, has a different motivation.
