By Selwyn Duke “Is it better to be loved or feared?” the main mobster character, Sonny, was asked in the film A Bronx Tale (1993). His answer was that he’d like to enjoy both. But if he had to choose one, it would be fear, he stated, because “[f]ear lasts longer than love.” Of course,…

By Selwyn Duke “I can’t breathe.” These were some of the final words of Henry Nowak, 18, a victim of a knifing — and British authorities’ wokeness. Nowak had repeatedly told police “I’ve been stabbed,” to which one cop replied, “I don’t think so, mate.” How’d they draw this conclusion? They took the word of…

By Selwyn Duke “‘Transgender’ is not a legitimate medical status, but an ideological one,” I wrote in 2019. “Yet this truth won’t stop our time’s Lysenkoists from performing our age’s version of lobotomies. What will is being sued into irrelevancy.” Now something approximating this is finally happening, too. The latest example comes out of Texas, where state…

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.

Whatever the case, I’m old enough…

By Selwyn Duke In 1994, famed-radio-host-to-be Michael Savage, an epidemiologist by training, wrote a manuscript titled Immigrants and Epidemics. In it, he pointed out that illegal aliens were bringing dangerous diseases into the United States. Yet despite Savage having long been a successful, published author, the work was rejected. The powers-that-be wanted such truths suppressed. And…

By Selwyn Duke “The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools,” warned 19th-century English philosopher Herbert Spencer. Would he say today, though, that the ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is … the United States’ criminal-justice system? Some may thus wonder…

By Selwyn Duke You perhaps didn’t think you’d see the day when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) would be applied to sexual assault. But here we are, courtesy of “Black-led and Black-owned startup” (its own description) AFRU. If a migrant rapes you says AFRU, well, boohoo. Those are just the broken eggs for the omelet. Or as the site puts it in…

By Selwyn Duke “We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence,” stated Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson recently. Actually, we can. So might say a retired police detective who has witnessed the phenomenon firsthand. And, no, this doesn’t require locking up 15 million Americans. All that’s necessary, says Mike McDaniel, that ex-cop-turned commentator, is delivering a…
