“Pride” Flag Flies (in Victory?) Over Now-purplish ex-Catholic Church in Small-town USA

November 24, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Et tu, Mayberry? Just recently I took a couple of friends to visit old hinterland haunts in upstate N.Y., places I used to visit on vacation or when house sitting. At issue are one-horse towns in rural Delaware County, which went for President Trump in last year’s election by almost 60 percent.…
Forget “Democratic Socialism,” Says Economist; Embrace “Democratic Capitalism”

November 23, 2025

By Selwyn Duke “The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to make a profit,” wrote labor leader Samuel Gompers. This is also the sentiment with which economist and professor Mark Skousen opened a recent article. In it he urges readers to “share the wealth,” not “redistribute it.” And Skousen discourages the…
Are Dem Progressive and “Moderate” Wings Meeting in the Middle to Win in ’26 and ’28?

November 21, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Word has it that the Democrats, divided between their progressive and “moderate” (read: only somewhat radical) wings and tired of having extremism lose them elections, are making changes designed to deliver 2026 and ’28 victory. Oh, it’s not a Road to Damascus moment, but a “Road to Just Ask Us” moment. That is, they’re…
Guys Going Galt: “How They Broke The Boys”

November 20, 2025

By Selwyn Duke It was in 2005 that I wrote about the “dehumanizing of men.” A half-decade earlier, the book The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers was published. Yet the anti-male spirit of the age marched on, and now the consequences are painfully apparent. In fact and in a way, young men today are going…
“I Beat Hitler” Says 98-year-old Trump Supporter

November 19, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Meet Piri Katz, a strong supporter of a man whom she, at 98, can call “kid.” That man would be President Donald Trump. Katz may, too, have some choice words for those who’d impugn Trump as a “Nazi,” “Hitler,” or even just “authoritarian.” You see, Piri actually lived, and suffered, under Nazi…
Christian Refugee Fled Jihadists in Iraq — Then Was Killed by Jihadists in France

November 17, 2025

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…

Cop Being Investigated for “Misgendering” Man in Drag

November 12, 2025

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

November 11, 2025

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

November 10, 2025

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…
