  • Should Once-colonized Lands Thank God for Their Colonizers?

    By Selwyn Duke Years ago I had an African friend, from Zambia, who mentioned his participation in a school debate on colonialism. He took the position that it was a net positive for his land. Then there was the Indian man I knew who despised Mohandas Gandhi (whose image is far different from the reality). He said, spewing a tad…

  • The Yawning Electorate: “Black Fatigue” in America Is Real — and Intensifying

    By Selwyn Duke In case you missed it, and the most blessed among us did, Sunday was the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Activists who didn’t succeed in getting police defunded, and others, gathered to mark the event and have a complaint-fest. Race hustler “Reverend” Al Sharpton, for example, compared Floyd’s plight to that…

  • Study: In Germany, Foreign-born Muslim Women Are MORE Violent Than German Men

    By Selwyn Duke We’ve been told by our “betters,” in a variety of ways, that the (actually long-extinct) thing called the Western “patriarchy” imperils women. Why, the miniseries Adolescence instructs that what you really must fear, Karen, are cute little 13-year-old English boys. But new data out of Germany, relating to a recent-years crime spike, tell a…

  • Study: Most Americans Are “Unbiblical” Moral Relativists — and It Invites Tyranny

    By Selwyn Duke Addressing a large group of arrivals in Hell, the Devil said, reassuringly, “You’ll find there’s no right or wrong here. Just what works for you.” That scene, presented on a 1977 New Yorker magazine cover, well epitomizes our time, a new study has found. In fact, the research shows, most Americans reject moral absolutes…

  • Monumental DEI: Statues of Generic Black Women Being Erected — Replacing the West’s Greats

    By Selwyn Duke Does it matter when a society’s long-present statues are torn down and replaced with very different ones? Well, consider an analogy. Imagine that upon coming home each day, you noticed that more and more pictures of your family members, which had adorned your walls, mantels, and desktops, were disappearing and were being…

  • Study Finds the Left Has Now Embraced “Assassination Culture”

    By Selwyn Duke “People will do what they do.” So said then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2020, when asked about a Baltimore mob tearing down a Christopher Columbus statue. Her attitude may be her political set’s norm, too. After all, no one in the Democratic Party leadership has, for example, spoken out against the attacks…

  • The “Trans” Empire Strikes Back, Attacks U.K. Court; J.K. Rowling Responds

    Image created with Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke If Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of the Harry Potter actors really could perform magic, maybe, just perhaps, they could turn a man into a woman. But it’s impossible beyond the world of Hollywood fantasy. This hasn’t stopped them, however, from embracing the fantasy that this sexual transformation can,…

  • Black Americans in Africa Learn: The Grass Is Actually Meaner on the Other Side of the Fence

    By Selwyn Duke “Thank God our grandpappies caught that boat!” is a line generally attributed to late boxing great Muhammad Ali. It appears, however, that it might’ve actually been uttered by rival George Foreman’s manager, Dick Sadler, in 1974. Regardless, the meaning is the same. The man was happy his ancestors ended up in America…

  • Killing Deadly Anti-Americanism

    By Selwyn Duke Hatred is like darkness: The more there is, the less you can see. For this reason, the object of hatred is never perceived clearly, ever painted in a darker color than the most shadowy recesses of its soul. Anti-American wrath is no exception, either. Why, listening to the hate-America-first crowd, you’d think…

  • Bowing to Public Pressure, Tax-funded Colorado Sex Camp for Kids Is CANCELED

    By Selwyn Duke It’s said that sunlight is the best disinfectant. It sure worked, too, with a Colorado abortion clinic that planned to host a free “sex-ed” summer camp that would have, among other things, taught kids about “gender” ideology and auto-eroticism. Geared toward fifth- through eighth-graders and hosted by the Boulder Valley Health Center…
