  • Christian Refugee Fled Jihadists in Iraq — Then Was Killed by Jihadists in France

    By Selwyn Duke “Granting asylum to the persecuted is legitimate,” said a French politician recently. But “our uncontrolled immigration policy now leads us to welcome their executioners [too].” Unfortunately for a man named Ashur Sarnaya, a 45-year-old Assyrian Christian, he became a case in point. He and his family managed to escape Islamic State jihadist…

  • The Wrong Red Wave: More Than 250 “Democratic Socialists” Now in Office

  • Cop Being Investigated for “Misgendering” Man in Drag

    By Selwyn Duke When dressing as a woman in the war-based sitcom M.A.S.H., character Corporal Klinger’s goal was expulsion from the military. It was taken as given back then (1970s), after all, that a man with such a compulsion had psychological issues. But times have changed. Now you may be punished if you take issue with…

  • Red Alert: Why Support for Socialism Is Growing

    By Selwyn Duke Here’s a question: What percentage of all the people who’ve ever lived on Earth is the average American richer than? Answer: 99.9 percent. We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity, yet many people are still dissatisfied. They feel as if they’ve been denied some birthright, some societal bequeathment. And, recent survey data have…

  • Winning WWII Was “NOT Worth the Result,” Says Sad D-Day Veteran

    By Selwyn Duke The “sacrifice” necessary to win WWII “wasn’t worth the result that it is now.” So said a Good Morning Britain (GMB) guest on Friday in a now viral interview clip. And if anyone is entitled to make such a comment, it is that guest: 100-year-old Alec Penstone. Penstone, you see, is a Royal Navy…

  • Equality, That Bold Lie? Or Inequality, That Beautiful Default?

    By Selwyn Duke “Equality is unfair!” proclaimed TV curmudgeon Archie Bunker in a 1974 All in the Family episode. “What’s the point of a man working hard all of his life trying to get someplace,” he bellowed, gesticulating wildly, “if all he’s going to do is wind up equal?!” It was a hilarious scene and line and,…

  • In Power, Will Mamdani Be Socialist — or Sly?

    By Selwyn Duke Escape from New York is the name of a 1981 film. Now it’s also, many fear, going to be a reality with Mayor-elect Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s impending socialist makeover of NYC. Why, commentator Bill O’Reilly has predicted that his ascendancy will spark an exodus of 765,000-one million Big Apple residents. This, of course,…

  • Stopping the Bleeding: Time for a Moratorium on Immigration?

    By Selwyn Duke “The definition of insanity,” the apocryphal saying goes, “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” Is there an exception to this rule? Or does it apply to everything, including immigration? Writing at Fox News, Nate Morris has his answer: There must be a moratorium on…

  • Migrant-Youth Crime Exploding in Various European Countries (Yet Some Won’t Prosecute Under-15s)

    By Selwyn Duke After evaluating 45,000 youths, an interesting study out of Germany found that with increasing religiosity, Christian teens became less violent. The research also found, however, that with increasing religiosity, Muslim teens became more violent. That was back in 2010. Now, 15 years later, another study in Germany finds that violence among migrant children is exploding.…

  • Almost a Republican Sweep Last Night—if Only Men Voted

    By Selwyn Duke It’s called the “gender gap” (should be “sex gap,” really) in voting, and, boy, did it ever manifest itself last night. In fact, Tuesday, November 4 was a great day for the GOP. That is, in an alternate universe in which only men vote. Let’s go down the list. In Virginia there…
