By Selwyn Duke Some would call it “progress.” Others would say it’s poetic justice or being hoist with your own petard. Whatever you call it, it certainly is ironic. First, a liberal Canadian politician pushes mass Third World migration because, well, Diversity™. Then guess what just happened this past Saturday? That man, Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, the…

By Selwyn Duke Here’s a point to ponder: Despite being 31-33 percent Republican, New Hampshire has no GOP congressman. What would a Republican congressional district look like were the state forced to create one? Then, imagine Massachusetts had to forge a district for its gun owners, who comprise just 14.7 percent of the state’s population.…

By Selwyn Duke For decades, there would be much talk among politicians about United States budget deficits (and the national debt). Yet this faded sometime after 2010, at the latest, after which our debt achieved elephant-in-the-room status. It’s perhaps just too scary or inconvenient — when you want or are promising free stuff — to discuss.…

By Selwyn Duke My time working with kids, decades ago, left me with some interesting stories. One of them involved a boy of about 10 — I’ll call him Joe (not his real name) — who’d been diagnosed with “ADHD.” His mother told me a mental-health professional gave them a book for him to read…

By Selwyn Duke In the 19th century, European immigrants might write home a letter including something such as the following. “Dear Uncle Maarten, it’s unbelievable: Here in America, I can eat meat every day!” Such a lifestyle was unheard of in the Old World. And now there may be the 21st-century version of this incredulity.…

And now critics have an Exhibit A in the cultural-influence department. To celebrate the Islamic holiday Eid, there’ll be an event originally billed as “Muslims Only” at a taxpayer-funded…

By Selwyn Duke If your three children all got sick the day after a new kid came over to play, you’d have a decent clue about who the vector of disease was. This comes to mind with the reintroduction in California of an ancient killer: tuberculosis (TB). The world’s deadliest infectious disease, TB caused an…

By Selwyn Duke It raised eyebrows when Michelle Obama said at a 2008 campaign rally, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.” (And all it took was her husband becoming a probable presidential nominee.) But she’s not alone in lacking pride. In fact, a 2025 Gallup poll found that…

Image created with Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke In 2018-2019, Democrats lifted a ban on head coverings in the House so that newly-sworn-in Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) could wear her hijab. Democrats have also generally defended the “right” to sport Muslim headwear in schools, workplaces, and in interactions with government. But Democrats in former President…

By Selwyn Duke Since committing a “hate crime” brings more prison time, we could wonder: Does committing a “love crime” reduce one’s sentence? This may sound silly, a bit like countering feminism with “masculinism” or Islamophobia with “Islamophilia.” Yet it also may put in perspective how silly the accepted terms are. Whatever the case, I’m old enough…
