  • Failing Calif. School District Spends $610K for Black Kids to Learn Rap

    A 3D figure with the words 'failure', 'loser', and other negative terms written on its body, representing feelings of inadequacy.

    The Merced City School District isn’t exactly killing it — unless, that is, what it’s killing are its students’ academic fortunes. Only about 22 percent of its pupils are proficient at math, just 35 percent at reading. Black kids in the majority Hispanic California district are doing considerably worse still, too. So in response, you might expect its education officials to emphasize discipline and the three R’s.

    Instead, they’ve spent $610,000 teaching black students how to rap.

    Moreover, while the program is supposedly designed to eradicate “hate and ignorance,” its rap “take[s] direct aim at white patriarchy.”

  • Ask the Experts — and Get Guided Toward Destruction?

    Vaccinated people “do not carry the virus, [and] don’t get sick” said then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky in 2021. She also implied that they couldn’t transmit Covid. The CDC had to walk her “expert” claims back mere days later. As we now know, “vaccinated” people could contract and spread the virus.

    Of course, you could always mask up, a preventative recommended even for children by CNN medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen. But then she changed her tune — after she stunted her own little son’s “language development” by masking him.

    This was nothing, though, compared to prominent psychologist Dr. John Money, who boasted a Ph.D. from Harvard. He originated “gender neutrality” theory, which held that newborns could be raised successfully as either sex (with proper medical interventions). Unfortunately for a Canadian family named the Reimers, they listened to this “expert” — and both their sons’ lives were destroyed.

  • Want to Be “More Like Europe,” Dems? Institute Voter ID

    By Selwyn Duke

    For years we’ve heard from a certain population segment and ideological set that we should, essentially, be “more like Europe.” We should have Europe’s nationalized healthcare. We should have Europe’s gun-control laws. We should have Europe’s taxation. We should have Europe’s environmental regulations. But the one way in which we could be and should be like Europe, the very same people recoil at.

    That is, requiring voter ID.

  • James Talarico: Charismatic Leftist RADICAL Leads GOP in Texas

    By Selwyn Duke

    Will Texas have its own Zohran Mamdani or AOC in the Senate in less than a year? It’s possible — if early polls are any guide.

    Whatever the case, the man in question, Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, is the Mamdani west of the Pecos. He’s young, attractive, has an easy smile, and is oh-so smooth a speaker who can talk chicken off the bone.

    He also has claimed that whites spread the “virus” of racism, there are “six sexes,” God is “nonbinary,” “our ‘trans’ community needs abortion care,” we should have a “world without prisons,” our southern border should be “like our front porch” with a “giant welcome mat,” and we should eat less meat to fight climate change.

    Well, they do say “Everything is bigger in Texas” — even the woke extremism, apparently.

  • The Lord Voldemort of Terror Threats Must Be Named

    By Selwyn Duke

    A huge study out of Germany, released in 2010 but now mostly forgotten, provided a serious point to ponder. After researching 45,000 youths, it found that with increasing religiosity Christian young people became less violent. But Muslim youths became, with increasing religiosity, more violent.

    My, even a relativist could get the nagging and nauseating feeling that maybe, just perhaps, not all religions are the same, after all.

  • Britain’s Cultural Kowtowing to Alien Transplants Is Truly Extraordinary

    By Selwyn Duke

    Tradition is, noted philosopher G.K. Chesterton, “democracy extended through time.” It also is something else: under assault in the West. And Britain, in particular, is going nuclear on its time-honored and -dictated traditions.

    In fact, it seems every week there’s another story about how the U.K. is trashing its culture. This is, too, say critics, a result of an unholy alliance between leftists and a foreign culture: the Islamic one.

    Consider, for example, the Bank of England’s recent announcement that it will be removing Winston Churchill from its £5 note. Churchill, of course, is arguably one of Britain’s greatest statesmen, credited with helping defeat the Nazis during WWII.

  • American Women Are Struggling — With Rampant Sexual Confusion Exhibit A

    By Selwyn Duke

    For years now, article after article has been written about how young men are struggling. They fare worse in school than young women and are less likely to graduate college, we hear. Young men have mental-health issues and are more apt to commit suicide. They are socially isolated and lack motivation and direction. All these things are true, too, either in whole or to a degree. But what if it’s not young men, but young women, who actually are struggling more?

    And what if this is ignored — not because of “patriarchy,” but because of feminism-aligned values that confuse good with bad?

  • Gun-crazy Democrats Take Aim at Second Amendment Rights

    By Selwyn Duke

    It’s unbelievable though apparently true (I quadruple-checked it) that the United States’ murder rate for 2025 may be the lowest it has been since perhaps 1900. Given this, even those fancying gun control a remedy may think more firearms restrictions would currently be a solution in search of a problem.

    Not today’s Democratic politicians, though. They’re proving it, too, pushing policies that further strip Second Amendment rights.

  • Does America Sit on “Stolen Land”?

    By Selwyn Duke

    The first man who staked out a piece of ground and said “This is mine” was a liar, goes a paraphrase of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Yet that man also, the philosopher stated, “was the real founder of civil society.”

    Rousseau was no fan of our Western civil society, but perhaps that makes his statement even more noteworthy. In addition, with the claim that the United States sits on “stolen land” gaining currency, his assertion raises a question.

    Is this yet another woke claim that could move us toward being a very uncivil society?

  • Do the Democrats Have a Vested Interest in Destroying the Family?

    See if you can finish this thought:

    If tea drinkers are more likely to vote for a given political party, that party will encourage tea drinking.

    If bicycle riders are more likely to vote for a given party, that party will encourage bicycle riding.

    If newly naturalized immigrants are more likely to vote for a given party, that party will encourage immigration.

    Now, if unmarried people are more likely to vote for a given party, that party will encourage ____________.

    Given this, is it worth noting that while traditionally married people tend to vote Republican, the unmarried generally support Democrats?

    And can we thus draw conclusions about which party is more likely to support what Pope John Paul II called “the basic cell of society” — the family?
