  • Digital Stepford Wives? Men Are Falling in Love With AI-generated Female Influencers

    In the “old” days of the internet, you perhaps had to be wary of some creep in a chat masquerading as an appealing romantic interest. But that was small ball. Today some men are falling for gorgeous female “influencers” — who happen to be generated via artificial intelligence (AI). The kicker:

    Some people are trying to forge relationships with these digital fictions even when knowing they’re AI-generated.

    The appeal is that with current technology, these “digi-entities” appear, behave, and interact just as real women do. (But without the moodiness?) What’s more, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

    When this AI is ultimately combined with ultra-sophisticated robotics, we could have real-life “Stepford Wives.” (This references the eponymous 1970s story about a town whose married women are gradually replaced with identical-looking, subservient, domesticity-oriented androids.) Moreover, this phenomenon’s acceptance is wholly congruent with today’s prevailing secular mindset.

  • Mask Drop: Democrats Come Closer to Saying, “Let’s Just Ban All Guns”

    There’s a popular meme circulating online that relates the evolution of cultural devolutionary talking points. It goes like this:

    Stage 1: “You’re crazy; it’s not happening.”
    Stage 2: “Okay, it’s happening, but it’s exaggerated.”
    Stage 3: “It’s happening…and it’s actually a good thing.”
    Stage 4: “And if you disagree, you’re a bigot.”

    We see this pattern repeated with many issues, Second Amendment rights included. In fact, say some, we’re already at Stage 3 with respect to firearm seizure. As one commentator puts it, leftists have moved on from “nobody’s coming for your guns.”

  • Wealthy Leftists: Stealing Is OK for Us — and Sometimes Murder, Too

    3D figure with words like 'failure', 'loser', and 'reject' covering its surface, conveying a theme of negative self-perception.

    By Selwyn Duke

    What happens when you raise generations not with virtue but with “situational values”? What’s the result when kids are pandered to, coddled, never told “No!” and get participation trophies? One result just may be wealthy, spoiled adults who believe its okay for them to steal and even, sometimes, murder.

    Oh, they have their rationalizations all assembled. The theft may be euphemized as “microlooting” and framed as an ethical statement or form of political protest. (Isn’t it admirable when people will sacrifice for their principles?!) As for the “justifiable” homicide, don’t worry, you won’t be targeted.

    That is, as long as you’re not guilty of “social murder” yourself.

    It gets complicated, though, because, as you might’ve guessed, you don’t actually have to kill anybody to be a social murderer.

  • Study: GOP and Dems Have Changed on Opposition to Big Government

    By Selwyn Duke

    “Government is not the solution to our problem,” late GOP president Ronald Reagan famously said in 1981 — “government is the problem.” We don’t hear this much from today’s Republicans, however. On the other hand, then-Democratic President Bill Clinton proclaimed in January 1996, “The era of big government is over.” And we don’t hear this at all from today’s Democrats (and Clinton didn’t mean it). These changes are, too, examples of words reflecting actions, a new study reveals.

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

    By Selwyn Duke

    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

    By Selwyn Duke

    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

    “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.
