  • California’s Plan to Wipe Out “Indians”

    It isn’t actually true that Christopher Columbus committed genocide against the Indians. Ironically, though, the very people who accuse him of such are now trying to wipe out “Indians.”

    They also want to eradicate “Apaches,” “Braves,” “Chiefs,” “Chieftains,” “Chippewa,” and “Comanches.”

    That is, social engineers want to partially erase Indians’ memory by nixing the above terms.

    This is happening culture-wide. At issue today, however, is California’s AB 3074, a measure signed into law by Democratic governor Gavin Newsom in 2024. The alleged problem with the above terms, according to the legislation?

  • Divided America: Leftists are Dumping MAGA Family Members — for Good

    It seems as if July 4, Thanksgiving, and Christmas celebrations are poised to become far more peaceful. The issue? In another example of America’s intensifying bifurcation, there are yet more stories of leftists cutting ties with MAGA relatives.

  • Graham Platner’s Gone, but Does He Merely Reflect Democratic Party Values?

    A political campaign poster featuring a man with a beard smiling in front of an American flag, with bold text promoting his candidacy and provocative statements.

    In 2006, it emerged that then-congressman Mark Foley (R-Fla.) had sent sexually explicit texts to a male congressional page. This made a continued career in GOP politics untenable, and he resigned from office the very next day.

    In 1989, it was revealed that a male prostitution/call-boy operation was being run out of the D.C. apartment of then-congressman and open homosexual Barney Frank (D-Mass.). Its “madam” was a male escort with whom the politician had a relationship. Frank didn’t resign, ever. Perhaps he knew his Democratic constituency would continue reelecting him — which they did, until his 2013 retirement a generation later.

    In 2016, a Democratic operative and vote fraudster named Scott Foval was caught making an admission on hidden camera. “There is a level of adherence to rules on the other side [Republicans],” he confessed, “that only when you’re at the very highest level, do you get over.”

  • Leftists’ “Land Acknowledgments”: If the Land is Stolen, When Will They Return It?

    A wide field of green wheat with a clear blue sky and fluffy white clouds.

    By Selwyn Duke

    The process of making things right is simple: First you acknowledge wrongdoing. Next you show remorse. Then, finally, there’s the last step: reparation — you make the aggrieved “whole.” That third part is pretty important. If you happen to “skip” it, one may wonder if you were sincere about the first two parts at all.

    This can come to mind with “land acknowledgments.” These are statements, delivered before events, confessing that the land the venue sits on actually belonged to some Indian tribe. As to what’s implicit in this, Canadian comedian Danny Polishchuk had an interesting take last year.

  • Libs’ Air-conditioning Hypocrisy: Cool Living for Me, Sweating for Thee

    By Selwyn Duke

    “All animals are equally cool,” famously wrote George Orwell, “but some animals are more equally cool than others.” OK, he didn’t quite say that. But updating his line for the 2020s may be appropriate given the newly heating up air-conditioning wars.

    That is, first we had a French leader blaming American AC use for “global warming.” Now we have this Sunday headline:

    Dem equality: After telling New Yorkers to keep temps at 78, Mamdani’s City Hall enjoys 54 degrees in places.

  • Banned in Germany and Canned by Critics, is “Citizen Vigilante” Terrifying Globalists?

    What’s yellow and green and shaking all over? Some would say it’s the globalist establishment, pondering the newly released film Citizen Vigilante (CV). If you haven’t yet heard of it, the movie is a hit with many fans while, some claim, fanning the flames of discontent. The antithesis of woke, it’s a wake-up call others contend, being sort of like Death Wish meets The Camp of the Saints.

    The story, you see, follows businessman-turned anti-establishment crusader Michael Sanders, played by actor Armie Hammer. He’s a vigilante, but not your average one (if there is such a thing as an “average” vigilante). And the reason for this does explain why CV is effectively banned in Germany.

    Sanders targets migrant criminals in Europe — and the immigrationist government officials who enable them. (That would perhaps be, too, most of the German government.) He becomes a social-media sensation and cult hero in the process.

  • French Leader Blames U.S. for Deadly Heatwave Deaths. But Should She Really Blame Statism?

    A yellow dunce cap labeled 'DUNCE' placed atop a wooden stool, with a chalkboard in the background that reads 'Back to school!'

    By Selwyn Duke

    Here’s an interesting fact: Yearly, more people die from heat-related causes in Europe than from gunshots in the U.S. (The firearms data include suicides, too.) And this reality is on full display currently, with a recent heatwave having claimed 1,300 lives across Europe. This includes 1,000 excess deaths in France alone. Moreover, something else has heated up as well:

    A brouhaha between a statist French politician and Americans over whom to blame.

    Many U.S. journalists and social-media figures fingered Europe’s lack of air conditioning.

    The politician, deputy mayor of Paris Audrey Pulvar, blamed America. Why?

    You guessed it: because, the thinking goes, we’re inordinately responsible for “global warming.”

  • 1976 vs. 2026: A Tale of Two Birthdays

    A bald eagle in profile with a focused expression, set against an American flag and a background featuring the text 'We the People'.

    By Selwyn Duke

    A man may look back 50 years, at an old birthday picture, and lament lost innocence and youthful vigor. So can people look back a half century on their land and wistfully observe what was and is no more. In America’s case, on our 250th birthday, some may note that while we no longer call ourselves “these United States” but, rather, “this United States,” we’re now more divided than ever.

    In fact, even patriotism itself now takes on the flavor of an ideological position, observers may say.

  • Has the American Left Lost its Mind — and Do the Media Care?

    By Selwyn Duke

    If a major American political party had lost its collective mind, would anyone notice?

    Given how tight midterm polling is currently, one could wonder, critics may say. Of course, some do notice. An example is one of those critics, commentator Becket Adams. Sounding an alarm Monday, he wrote:

    “The American left has lost its mind, and the media seem unbothered.”

  • Biden-era Woke Rules are Shutting Down Real Science — and Museum Displays

    Close-up of the phrase 'politically correct' highlighted in a dictionary entry.

    By Selwyn Duke

    The Soviets tried creating ape-human hybrids and embraced Lysenkoism, which held that acquired traits could be inherited. Nazi academics, such as Philipp Lenard, promoted the idea that science itself had racial character. Looking back on such pseudo-science, we now just shake our heads. Yet those who shake their fists at the heavens of research objectivity haven’t disappeared; they’ve just rebranded.

    In 2024, for example, the Biden administration announced that its bureaucracies could soon incorporate “indigenous knowledge” into their research. What could possibly go wrong? Try this on for size:
