By Selwyn Duke “How do you write women so well?” novelist Melvin Udall was asked in the 1997 film As Good as It Gets. “I think of a man,” he replied, “and I take away reason and accountability.” This comes to mind while pondering the Lindsay Clancy situation.

By Selwyn Duke In 2015, Sweden had the highest (im)migration rate in Europe relative to population. The country became infamous, with stories about failed assimilation, Muslim-controlled “no-go zones,” and immigrationist persecution of nationalists. But then the worm began turning. For almost the first half of 2024 (through May), the nation actually had more emigration than…

Morgan passed away just days ago, but her spirit not only lives on; it has metastasized. The evidence? A new survey has found that a striking majority of…
