  • Mayor Mamdani Vows to Replace “Individualism” With “the Warmth of Collectivism”

    By Selwyn Duke “My skin literally crawled.” So said New York City council member Vickie Paladino in response to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address. What gave Paladino the creeps was a comment so eyebrow-raising that an editor of mine first thought it was parody. “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism,” Mamdani said on…

  • South Winning the War Between the States — in Education

    By Selwyn Duke It’s not just economic activity that has been moving from a waning North to a burgeoning South in recent times. Intellectual activity is also making that move — contrary to stereotypes. Just consider Mississippi, a state oft mocked by urban arts-and-croissant pseudo-sophisticates. Leading the post-Covid recovery, it has gone from 49th to seventh nationally…

  • Do the White Thing: Trump’s EEOC Tackling Anti-white Job Discrimination

    By Selwyn Duke Here’s an interesting question for those claiming that anti-white bias, and anti-white-male bias in particular, is imaginary. Why do, as a 2021 study found, more than a third of white students claim racial-minority status on college applications? Is contagious masochism sweeping white America? The Donald Trump administration knows the answer, and its Equal Employment Opportunity…

  • Save NYC Housing by Destroying It? That’s Mamdani’s Socialist Plan

    By Selwyn Duke If you’ve watched the 1990 film Goodfellas, you may remember the segment where mob boss Paulie becomes a partner in a restaurant, then purposely bankrupts the place and torches it to collect insurance money. But the true story is far darker still. In reality, Paulie surreptitiously orchestrated the restaurateur’s difficulties in the first…

  • “Battle of the Sexes” Another Blow Against Feminism and “Transgender” Lunacy

    By Selwyn Duke In case you didn’t hear about it, and you might not have given that the outcome wasn’t media-narrative friendly, there was another tennis “Battle of the Sexes” yesterday. And, boy, it was not a good night for feminism and the “transgender” agenda. Aryna Sabalenka, a Belarusian and currently the world’s number one…

  • Soviet Europe? Trump BANS Euro Officials From U.S. in Free-speech War

    By Selwyn Duke My, how the worm has turned. It was in 2009 that talk-show giant Michael Savage, along with others, was banned from Britain for exercising speech. Now, 16 years later, certain European officials are being banned from the United States for banning people for exercising speech. It’s just the latest in an unprecedented…

  • Climate-change Change: “Global Warming” Can Cause an Ice Age

    By Selwyn Duke It’s always nice when your theory covers most every possible outcome. Just consider the matter of anthropogenic (man-caused) climate change. We have, of course, heard that if the weather warms, the thesis is correct. If the weather merely becomes more volatile, we’re told, it’s also correct, with the “excess” atmospheric CO2 causing climatic…

  • University Writing Center Rejected Proper English, Calling It “Linguistic White Supremacy”

    By Selwyn Duke There was a time when being a white supremacist meant something (for starters, that you were one in a million). Today, though, it appears that anyone can be a white supremacist. Why, all journalist Larry Elder had to do to become “the black face of white supremacy” was seek California’s governorship. And…

  • Post-Bondi, a Woman Applauds Male Courage

    By Selwyn Duke “‘Guns don’t kill people; men and boys kill people,’ experts say,” read an October 2017 USA Today headline. The next month, Democrat Dana Nessel, running for Michigan attorney general, told state residents to support her, not a man. She meant any man because, her reasoning went, a woman won’t likely commit sexual harassment. (Nessel won her…

  • Pandering to Illegal Aliens, Police Chief Plays the “Joseph, Mary, and Jesus Were Refugees” Card

    ‘Tis the season to…use the Christmas story for political gain? We’ve heard the line repeatedly. Somehow, we’re not supposed to secure our borders in 2025 and deport invaders because 2,000 years ago the Holy Family were “refugees.” Just today, for example, Newspeak Newsweek wrote that “it’s worth remembering that Jesus began life as a refugee.” (And, apparently then, it’s worth…
