  • By Selwyn Duke “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle,” goes the notorious feminist proclamation. Yet revelation, reason, and science inform that this isn’t true for those very little women, and little men, known as children. Nor is it true of the grown women who raise children. Moreover, research illustrates dads’…

  • By Selwyn Duke It was just six years ago that then-German chancellor Angela Merkel, a main author of 2015’s Third World migration wave into Europe, admitted that “no-go zones” do exist on her continent. It was just last year, at age 100, that late intellectual Henry Kissinger confessed that allowing such immigration into Germany was “a grave mistake.”…

  • By Selwyn Duke “A government big enough to give you everything you want,” goes a paraphrase of an apocryphal saying, “is big enough to take everything you’ve got.” This includes too many free minutes. As to this, we’ve all probably had the kind of experience commentator Kevin R. Kosar describes in an article recently featured on MSN.com.…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s not hard to understand why Caitlin Clark, the record-setting white ex-NCAA women’s basketball standout, is enjoying attention and endorsements like no WNBA player before her. And, no, it’s not because of (mythical) “white privilege.”

  • By Selwyn Duke Beauty and the beast…. We invariably know which is which. But should we be able to? And if we will always be capable of discerning the difference (hard to imagine otherwise), will we ever value ugliness as much as beauty? Some activists apparently want us to. Yet just as with the fat-liberation movement and…

  • By Selwyn Duke Five years ago already, in 2019, Joe Biden appeared to forget Barack Obama’s name during a campaign town hall meeting. That would be the Barack Obama whom Biden worked under for eight years, the Obama he once famously said was the “first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and…

  • By Selwyn Duke That senior citizens support Republicans while young Americans vote for Democrats by wide margins is one of those old truisms in politics. Or is it? Shockingly to many, polls show that Joe Biden is bleeding support among Gen Z (those born after 1996). What’s more, they also find that he’s doing better…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Clarence Thomas has a bump-stock death wish for Americans,” reads a Raw Story title. “Clarence Thomas’ signature will be on death certificates,” goes an overwrought quotation from an MSNBC Reidout segment. “The Supreme Court’s Bump Stock Decision Will Prove Fatal,” The New York Times chimes in. This seems like an awfully frenzied response over a device that’s hardly…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s that old chasm between the pseudo-elite and the street. More than three-quarters of Americans believe that crime has gotten worse in recent times, according to a November 2023 Gallup poll. In contrast, mainstream media and other pseudo-elites tell us that crime is down, citing FBI statistics to make their case. But here’s…

  • By Selwyn Duke It was not an idea too big to fail. And it failed big. Voters in Houston, Texas, rejected the controversial and misnamed “Houston Equal Rights Ordinance” (HERO) by a wide margin yesterday. The measure would have extended “special protections” to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and so-called transgender people, along with those in other…
