  • By Selwyn Duke “The white race is the cancer of human history,” wrote feminist author Susan Sontag in 1966. While Sontag has passed on, her idea has passed on to critical-mass stage; in fact, the notion that whites are history’s “oppressors” and everyone else is the “oppressed” is now left-wing dogma as much as “four…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s no surprise that black Americans used to be Republicans. The GOP is, after all, the party of Lincoln and slavery abolition. For more than half a century, however, blacks have given approximately 90 percent of their support to Democrats every election. What’s more, laments a black writer and speaker, “Democrats are guilt tripping…

  • By Selwyn Duke Asian-descent Americans have long enjoyed notably higher incomes than their white countrymen do. It’s also true that men earn more money than women do. Now, question: Are both, neither, or just one of these wage gaps seen as a “problem” to be “remedied”? If you answered “just one” — and know which…

  • By Selwyn Duke “New research makes it increasingly clear that companies with more diverse workforces perform better financially,” proclaimed McKinsey & Company in 2015. McKinsey’s study was taken seriously, too; in fact, it would be transformational. Citing McKinsey in 2016, the Harvard Business Review announced, definitively, “Striving to increase workplace diversity is not an empty…

  • By Selwyn Duke If the current enviro-doomsayer predictions frighten you, don’t worry. Just wait a bit. They’ll change. The kicker is that “predictions” about the past will change, too. A case in point is a recent Washington Post admission that all the “fossil fuels” we’ve been burning have had a global-warming-neutralizing cooling effect. And if this frightens you because…

  • By Selwyn Duke The mainstream media never claimed “both sides” were culpable for the J6 riot, even though the Left had already normalized political violence (BLM/Antifa). But with Saturday’s assassination attempt against President Trump, it’s different: To dilute their own responsibility, leftist media are asserting that “both sides” are responsible for the act. My, how…

  • By Selwyn Duke “There’s no England now,” stated the Kinks in 1984, in a song that, in part, lamented the 20th-century loss of English identity. Today, in the 21st century, perhaps it could be said that there’s no Germany now.

  • By Selwyn Duke Self-delusion is an amazing thing. Despite Joe Biden’s nation-shocking debate performance, there are still those refusing to see that the emperor has no clothes. In particular, heard is the notion that “Biden isn’t cognitively impaired, no, no — he just has a stutter.” A longtime commenter at my website just asserted this with…

  • By Selwyn Duke “C’mon, man!” would often be an exclamation used in place of argument for Joe Biden. But now he may want to say “C’mon, men!” — even though it likely won’t help. With what? Biden is underwater with male voters, a phenomenon that has only worsened since his cognitive decline was on full…

  • By Selwyn Duke Overlapping with the “Enlightenment” and a reaction to it, the lesser-known “Romantic Period” (1790-1850, supposedly) stressed not reason but emotionalism and involved the exaltation of women. Over time this spirit metastasized into an attendant demonization of men; thus do we hear today about “toxic masculinity.” But this is essentially a toxic lie,…
