  • The Left’s War on Comedy Is No Laughing Matter

    If pure-hearted laughter is divine, the suppression of it is demonic. This could come to mind with our Left’s war on comedy, which really is happening. It also really is a campaign common to leftists.

    Just ask USSR-born comedian Yakov Smirnoff, a man popular during the late Cold War period (the 1980s). As he quipped in an old Miller beer commercial, smiling, “In America, there’s plenty of lite beer and you can always find a party!”

    “In Russia, the Party always finds you!”

    He was joking, but not kidding. The Soviet Union practiced authoritarian censorship, and jokes had to be approved by a de facto “Department of Humor.” That was a colloquial name for a unit within the USSR’s Ministry of Culture. The latter’s job was to ensure the culture was communist.

  • Carville Tells Democrats: Keep QUIET on Your Plan to Seize Permanent Power

    As soon as Democrats “can figure out a way to eliminate elections, they will do it,” warned late radio giant Rush Limbaugh in 2020. This is for a simple reason, he explained: “’cause they resent the hell out of [having to campaign].”

    Now, six years later, political strategist James Carville (aka “Serpent Head”) is prescribing a plan for permanent Democratic Party power. And his advice to fellow Democrats is simple: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”

  • Communism Is Sneaking Up on Us Americans; In Fact, It’s Nipping at Our Heels

    “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism,” goes the apocryphal saying generally attributed to six-time presidential candidate Norman Thomas. “But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

  • Today’s Schools Hurt Black Students More Than the KKK Ever Could

    A lively classroom filled with diverse children, smiling and actively engaging. Some are raising their hands, while others are writing in notebooks. A colorful educational environment with bookshelves in the background and alphabet letters displayed on the wall.

    “The Ku Klux Klan couldn’t sabotage chances for black academic excellence more effectively than the public school system in most cities,” noted the late Professor Walter E. Williams. Apropos to this, Williams also stated that whatever you say about “civil-rights” activist Malcolm X, he was right about something. To wit:

    The greatest enemy black Americans have is the liberal who claims to be their benefactor.

    And nowhere is that liberal control greater than in the government school system.

  • SCOTUS’ Chiles Decision Strikes a Blow Against Homo/“Trans” Lobby — and for Freedom

    A hand holding a wooden gavel, symbolizing authority and law.

    By Selwyn Duke

    The Supreme Court just struck a blow against a very perverse double standard, one common in many states. That standard is this:

    You can prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for a child and scar him for life. This is in service to the delusion that the youth is stuck in the “wrong” sex’s body.

    But if that very same kid approaches a therapist hoping the professional can talk with him and find the roots of that delusion and eliminate it, the therapist can be punished for complying. (Note: Also forbidden is talk therapy geared toward eliminating feelings of same-sex attraction; i.e., homosexuality.) This all may change, however, with the recent Chiles v. Salazar Supreme Court ruling.

  • Illegal-alien Crime Is Higher Than Many Think — and Is HIDDEN by Authorities

    By Selwyn Duke

    In 1994, famed-radio-host-to-be Michael Savage, an epidemiologist by training, wrote a manuscript titled Immigrants and Epidemics. In it, he pointed out that illegal aliens were bringing dangerous diseases into the United States. Yet despite Savage having long been a successful, published author, the work was rejected. The powers-that-be wanted such truths suppressed. And it appears, too, that the same cover-up is occurring with illegal-alien crime.

  • MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+: Wokeness Now Generating AI-worthy Acronyms

    A diverse group of people at a pride parade holding banners with messages about inclusivity and safe spaces. Colorful flags in the background and signs reading 'MMIWG2SL GBTQQIA+' and 'more letters = more inclusive'.

    By Selwyn Duke

    Think wokeness has gone the way of the dodo? Actually, it’s gone the way of the dumdum. It hasn’t died — it’s just become more unintelligible.

    Consider MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. No, that’s not my WIFI password (full disclosure: I stole that joke). It’s a victim-group acronym seamlessly disgorged by a very perturbed Canadian politician. And here she is, in a seven-second clip that has gone viral:

  • Demographic Realists Rise: Immigration, Long an American Addiction, Is Finally Being Challenged

    A large crowd of people walking along a dirt path surrounded by tall grass and trees, creating a sense of mass movement through a rural landscape.

    By Selwyn Duke

    A civilizational sea change is occurring, an ideological inflection point may be getting closer. Immigration, long considered as American as apple pie, as almost sacrosanct, is being questioned. The belief underlying it, immigrationism, suddenly no longer has the almost universal dogma status it once enjoyed.

  • Trump Terminates Agreements Requiring Schools to Enable “Transgenderism”

    3D representations of male and female gender symbols in pink and blue colors, respectively.

    By Selwyn Duke

    Most of us have heard about the scores (or more) of “genders” social engineers have conjured up. Thanks to the Trump administration, however, school officials will no longer have to identify as a particular one: “pandergender.”

    This is because the administration’s Department of Education is terminating coercive, Obama/Biden-era agreements compelling schools to affirm troubled students’ delusions.

  • When Judges Release Thugs Who Then Kill, Should “Your Honor” Be Punished?

    A bronze balance scale with two empty pans, symbolizing justice and equality.

    By Selwyn Duke

    “The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools,” warned 19th-century English philosopher Herbert Spencer. Would he say today, though, that the ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is … the United States’ criminal-justice system? Some may thus wonder upon hearing stories such as the following.

    In January 2025, North Carolina Judge Teresa Stokes released into society a deranged 34-year-old man with 14 prior arrests. His rap sheet included violent and unstable behavior; even robbery with a dangerous weapon was on the list. And what was required of him?

    Merely a written promise to appear for his next court date (no cash bail or additional conditions). Records and reports indicate that this criminal was known to authorities as a repeat offender, too.

    This man, Decarlos Brown Jr., would proceed to murder Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte train seven months later.
