  • By Selwyn Duke It certainly is odd that the ideological set now claiming not to know what a woman is once claimed to know precisely what a woman’s role should be. But it did. And, boy, was it ever a coup, in league with convincing eagles they shouldn’t fly or sunfish they shouldn’t swim. In…

  • By Selwyn Duke Is one man’s radical another man’s reasoned voice? You might suppose that could be the thinking in this relativistic age. But this certainly wasn’t the perspective of British journalist Douglas Murray while appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast last Thursday. In fact, Murray called Rogan out on the show, saying he was platforming…

  • By Selwyn Duke Common sense is “that forgotten branch of psychology,” observed philosopher G.K. Chesterton in the early 1900s. One could wonder what he’d say today, with “psychology” — which means “study of the soul” — being both soulless and ubiquitous. And it being so widespread is a reason, it’s said, that autism diagnoses are…

  • By Selwyn Duke When the history of our time is finally written, assuming there’s someone around to write it (AI?), one can imagine how the historians may interpret the Democrats’ obsession with pseudo-sex-switching. “They believed boys could become girls merely by wishing it, and they persecuted those deviating from this orthodoxy.” “It’s why the Democratic…

  • By Selwyn Duke It was three days after his second Covid shot, in 2021, that Jacob Clynick unexpectedly passed away. He was 13 years old — with no known health problems. Later the same year, 16-year-old Ernesto Ramirez, Jr. died five days after taking just one Pfizer Covid shot. The story was the same with both boys: Their…

  • By Selwyn Duke Here’s an interesting test if you have any young people in your life. Ask them to finish the following rhyme: “Sticks and stones may….” A second question you can pose to the whippersnapper is: Is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment? (And just hope they know what the First Amendment is.)…

  • Image created using AI. By Selwyn Duke There’s a simple rule of life: If people cannot talk things out, they’re left to fight them out. One man who apparently understands this is Democratic comedian-cum-commentator Bill Maher. After all, bucking criticism from fellow liberals (leftists), Maher recently agreed to accept an invitation to visit the White…

  • By Selwyn Duke A few decades ago a woman I knew well, of Japanese descent, told me a story about a time she walked into a Korean restaurant. “We don’t want your kind in here,” someone staffing the eatery bluntly told her. Old prejudices die hard, and the woman promptly left. She could’ve filed a…

  • By Selwyn Duke Imagine the following scenario: A pregnant woman goes into labor while passing your property and, in distress, stumbles onto your lawn.
