  • Battle of Britain: Is Reform’s Rise Driven by White Working-class “Rage” — or Righteousness?

    By Selwyn Duke There’s a political revolution bubbling in what once was the motherland. The Reform UK party, founded just seven years ago as the “Brexit Party,” may now be poised to win power in Britain’s next election. How significant the party’s rise is cannot be overstated. A poll earlier this year showed Reform leading…

  • Fake News: USA Today Claims People Are Smoking More. Actually, It’s a Liberal Thing

    By Selwyn Duke With the alphabet networks’ viewership down to 19 percent of the market — they controlled more than 90 percent in the mid-’70s — it’s safe saying the once-mainstream media aren’t exactly smokin’. The same is true of mainstream newspapers, and a recent USA Today article about smoking may illustrate why. The headline, above a…

  • Black Professor: Time to Kill “African-American”

    By Selwyn Duke It was decades ago that I warned against using the term “African-American.” It was three years ago that legendary black singer Smokey Robinson said, passionately, “I resent being called an African-American — I really do.” Now a black Ivy League linguistics professor is echoing this sentiment. Saying the term is “awkward,” he’s touting the…

  • “Racism”: Want to Cancel Hulk Hogan? Fine, Then Muhammad Ali’s Got to Go, Too

    Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke It wasn’t long after legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan’s passing that we heard the condemnations. Don’t honor him, the nattering ne’er-do-wells insisted—he was a stone cold “racist.” When evaluating this, too, I want you to consider the following quite telling and damning line: “A black man should be…

  • We Hear Gen Z Is “Shifting Right,” Yet 62% Like Socialism and 34% Like Communism

    By Selwyn Duke “Communist governments killed 100 million people during the 20th century,” I told a young man about seven or eight years ago. I’ll never forget the look of surprise that registered on his face. Though he was approximately 18 and had attended a wealthy suburb’s “good” government schools, he’d never heard that before.…

  • Old Media Dying: Waning CBS Cancels Colbert. Is Kimmel Next?

    By Selwyn Duke “So, for the first time in history, Americans have stopped watching NBC, CBS TV, and ABC,” reported commentator Bill O’Reilly Thursday. “Their viewing level has fallen below 20 percent — unheard of.” “And it’s because they’re boring and they’re far left,” O’Reilly elaborated. “That’s the two reasons.” The latest casualty of this legacy-media…

  • 16-year-olds Will Be Voting: UK’s Libs Aim to Stay in Power by Recruiting Kids

    By Selwyn Duke Facing severe manpower shortages in WWII’s waning months, Nazi Germany conscripted adolescent boys, some as young as 12, into military service. This was a sign of desperation, of course, one that ended well for neither kids nor country. And we see another attempt to recruit the young for something they’re ill prepared…

  • Explaining the Left’s Deep Hatred for America

    Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke Apart from Sandy Cortez (aka “AOC,” D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) party now claims 200-plus elected officials nationwide. This is why what’s part of the DSA’s platform is notable.

  • Jordan Peterson: What Happens When You Erase Masculinity

    By Selwyn Duke When the Māori conquered the Moriori in the South Pacific in the mid-19th century, they proceeded to kill most of the fighting-age men and boys. The process, known as “androcide,” has occurred numerous times in history. The idea: Neuter a society by eliminating masculinity — in this case, by eliminating the masculine…

  • Is It Fair Calling Gen Z the “Useful Idiot Generation”?

    By Selwyn Duke “What embitters the world is not excess of criticism,” noted philosopher G.K. Chesterton, “but an absence of self-criticism.” This could come to mind with a recent Wall Street Journal piece titled “Gen Z, the Useful Idiot Generation.” Oh, it’s not that the authors are wrong about how “leftism” greatly infects this relatively young…
