  • By Selwyn Duke Since my title is bound to inspire criticism that I’m a “God botherer,” I’ll preface what follows by stating that I wasn’t always the halo-adorned, floating-in-the-ether desert mystic (without the sand or heat) you behold today. I wasn’t raised with faith, and as a 12-year-old was an agnostic who’d say, “I’d never…

  • By Selwyn Duke In the United States, DEI has received pushback, and many hope DEI will DIE. In Britain, though, the phenomenon may be alive and well and poised to intensify what’s already a two-tiered justice system. A case in point is new sentencing guidelines that would give Muslims and other “minorities” shorter sentences than…

  • By Selwyn Duke “There oughta be a law!” goes the old frustration-born refrain. Or if not a law, maybe another regulation or mandate — one making us, perhaps, more like Europe. After all, they have “free” healthcare, maternity leave, better quality of life, and more vacation time. In a nutshell, “Europe is better,” as multimillionaire…

  • Image created using AI. By Selwyn Duke Is it time to retire the donkey and make an angry old man waving a cane the Democratic Party’s new symbol? Such a display, of course, was precisely what got Representative Al Green (D-Texas) expelled from President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday. It well reflects the…

  • By Selwyn Duke What’s the very definition of chutzpah? Try the following on for size. Narco state Mexico is suing American firearms manufacturers for $10 billion — over it’s own cartel violence. That’s right, the land long known for banditos, where the police and criminals may be one and the same (a man I knew of traveled…

  • By Selwyn Duke To reference the iconic 1964 film Dr. Strangelove, have the Europeans “Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb”? One could wonder. After all, in 1956, the USSR sent 200,000 soldiers into Hungary. The West did not send arms to the Hungarians, call for Soviet regime change, or consider sending troops. In 1968,…

  • By Selwyn Duke They want to MASA: Make socialism great again. Or, so they would say, claiming to their millions of social-media followers that it actually did and does work. Really, truly — you just missed it, somehow. At issue are socialist/communist “influencers,” who, ironically, earn big money via “capitalism” influencing people to embrace socialism.…

  • By Selwyn Duke People trying to find common ground between groups sometimes may say, “We’re more alike than we’re different.” Yet this may not be true of Republicans and Democrats — especially not today. Oh, sure, we all have the same tolerances for heat and cold, require oxygen, have survival needs, and are mortal. We…

  • By Selwyn Duke Do you know that, based on court rulings, members of so-called privileged groups who claim employment bias must meet a higher bar than “minorities”? Ironically, of course, this means that the latter are privileged by law. It’s a standard akin to the notion that “only whites can be ‘racist.’” But now, one woman’s…

  • By Selwyn Duke It used to be said that the Democrats were the “party of the common man.” Now they’re the party of the uncommon man. Very uncommon. If you want men in women’s sports, criminal aliens not deported, a 24/7 fixation on race, or a stance in favor of government waste, the Democrats have…
