The Roman Empire Followed Our Path of Mass Migration — and DIED

By Selwyn Duke

Empire and the Roman Empire were contemporaneous and peaked at about the same time close to 2,000 years ago. But China is still around.

The Roman Empire is long gone.

The difference? “China is often considered one of the most politically, culturally, and linguistically monolithic countries in the world,” writes LitCharts.com. In other words, through famines, pestilence, bad governments, and other disasters, the Chinese people, language, and culture always remained.

Ex-White House Doc Reveals What Drugs Might be Jacking Up Biden for Tonight’s Debate

By Selwyn Duke

Five years ago already, in 2019, Joe Biden appeared to forget Barack Obama’s name during a campaign town hall meeting. That would be the Barack Obama whom Biden worked under for eight years, the Obama he once famously said was the “first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” Yet a half a decade later Joe is still out there, functioning — sort of.

Oh, he’s mumbling and stumbling and fumbling for facts, but he’s out there. It’s just amazing what you can accomplish, many may conclude, with the absolute best medical care. And now ex-White House physician Ronny Jackson, M.D., who served under three presidents, has weighed in on how this medical miracle is worked.

Nuclear War: Risk Has Perhaps NEVER Been Greater, Harvard Expert Says

By Selwyn Duke

As a child of the ’70s and ’80s, I, along with my age mates, remember Cold War nuclear annihilation fears well. Oh, I was born after “duck and cover” days, but we did, for example, have the post-apocalyptic 1983 film The Day After, which portrayed a nuclear war’s consequences. Watched by 100 million-plus Americans — more than half our adult population at the time — it’s credited for creating impetus for policies that reduced the atomic threat. Even then-president Ronald Reagan was “greatly depressed” by the movie, as he wrote in his diary, and it stiffened his resolve to, as he put it, ensure “there is never a nuclear war.”

That was then. Judging from people’s concerns today, you could think nuclear weapons had gone the way of the dodo. Americans are focused elsewhere, with young people worried about “climate change” and many doomsayers sounding an alarm over artificial intelligence (which may be problematic). But the atomic threat still very much looms. In fact, says a Harvard academic, nuclear war may be closer than ever.
