Hollywood Narcissism and Celebrities Numerous “Gender Nonconforming” Kids

October 24, 2025

By Selwyn Duke If a person’s five-year-old daughter tells you she’s a unicorn, you may say “Aww, that’s cute.” It’s red-alert time, however, if she’s making the claim at 14. (Believing you’re an animal is a real phenomenon, associated with “species dysphoria.”) It would be even more alarming, too, if her parents boasted about how they…
“Woke” Culture Is Just Feminine Culture, Says Writer — and It’s Killing America

October 22, 2025

By Selwyn Duke What are the best indicators that a person will embrace left-wing authoritarianism? An interesting study, related by psychologist Jordan Peterson years ago, found that the best indicator was having low verbal intelligence. Number two was “being female.” None of this would surprise commentator Andrea Widburg. (I don’t think it did surprise her, either, when…
Democrats’ Support for Jay Jones and America’s Descent Into Violence

October 19, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Image created by Grok AI. African radio station RTLM is now infamous for having helped sparked the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Dubbed “Hate Radio,” it would broadcast messages in which the target group, the Tutsis, were regularly characterized as “cockroaches.” Is such mainstreamed rhetoric coming to America? Well, we’re getting closer, as…
White “Ghetto Girl” Reflects Why MAGA Won’t be Easy

October 14, 2025

By Selwyn Duke If politics is downstream from culture, and it is, we have a lot to worry about. This is frankly because American culture has long been rotting like a 10-day-old avocado in the sun. A good example, appearing in my X notifications yesterday, is a video of a white girl sporting corn-woven hair…
Does the NFL-Bad Bunny Brouhaha Reflect a Meltdown of MAGA — or of America?

October 10, 2025

By Selwyn Duke There are some people who don’t know, or claim to not know, why there’s controversy over artist “Bad Bunny’s” planned Super Bowl LX halftime performance. There’s story after story, too, about how MAGA is “melting down” over it. But are they? Or is America, once a melting pot, melting down culturally? To…
Canceling Feminism: Apply Hegseth Doctrine to Police Women, Too, Says Writer

October 9, 2025

By Selwyn Duke In 2014, the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) for treating women equally. Yes, you read that right. The problem: Female applicants were failing the PSP physical fitness test at a higher rate than did their male counterparts. It didn’t matter, either, that the standards had already been laughably dumbed down.…
Godlessness Matters: Charlie Kirk and the “Nihilistic Violent Extremist”

October 3, 2025

By Selwyn Duke From the Charlie Kirk assassination to the Minneapolis Catholic Church shooting and beyond, Americans today are taken aback by how mindlessly violent society has become. Many, of course, seek to identify the causes, too, with the Democrats blaming guns and the Republicans mental illness. And both these claims do capture headlines. But…
What Killed Charlie Kirk? “Trans” Ideology Did — and It’s Killing America, Too

October 1, 2025

By Selwyn Duke “You cut that out now,” said a man dressed as a woman to commentator Ben Shapiro in 2015, “or you’ll go home in an ambulance.” I think I know how Shapiro felt, too. Years ago, one of that man’s co-ideologists wrote in an internet comment that he wants my “head on a platter.”…
To Save America, Is It “Time to Cancel the Left”?

September 15, 2025

By Selwyn Duke There is a simple, immutable, inescapable, irrefutable rule of life, one we ignore at our own peril. It is this: If you don’t control the culture, the culture will control you. The Charlie Kirk assassination has saddened and shocked millions; it has also inspired reality checks. “How did we get to this…
Assassinations of Character and of Men: Here’s Why America Is So Fatally Divided

September 12, 2025

By Selwyn Duke In the wake of yesterday’s horrible tragedy, the assassination of commentator Charlie Kirk, many are reacting with shock, others shockingly. As millions offer sympathy and prayers, others spew venom because they dislike the views Kirk held. And the murder and malevolent responses have inspired troubled observers to ask, once again: What’s wrong…
