Month: January 2023

By Selwyn Duke While meeting with European allies last March, Joe Biden said that they “talked about how we could increase and disseminate more rapidly food shortages.” This was on camera at a press conference. The media didn’t seem to care much, though, and when the statement itself was disseminated online, Facebook labeled it “false news.” Perhaps…

By Selwyn Duke There was a race factor in the death of Tyre Nichols, but it wasn’t “white-supremacist systemic racism.” Rather, when the 29-year-old was killed by five Memphis cops on January 10, he became part of an all-too-common pattern — the phenomenon whereby 92 percent of black homicide victims are killed by other blacks.…

By Selwyn Duke In 2014, Barack Obama’s DOJ sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating male and female applicants equally.

All’s not well, too, because this is precisely what’s happening today — a point on which both the Right and the Left agree. Consider a major story in the news: the rejection of…

By Selwyn Duke Many millions of Americans dutifully sort their trash, believing that recycling saves the environment and facilitates sustainability. But what if this greentopian ritual not only doesn’t help the Earth, but actually harms it and the economy to boot? Recycling most plastic, for example, would be a fool’s errand and therefore isn’t done,…

That is, while…

By Selwyn Duke A 300-pound, hairy wrestler in a pink tutu; ice cream and bacon; doughnuts and seafood. While certain things just don’t go together, all three preceding combinations may work better than what has just been called inevitable: Harley Davidson’s entire line of motorcycles going electric. This was proclaimed the future of the storied…
