  • Killer Karmelo Cashes in: Family Parlaying Knifing of White Boy Into Bling Lifestyle

    Image: YouTube By Selwyn Duke The warning that “crime doesn’t pay” is surely true — in the spiritual sense, that is. Yet the material one may be a different matter, especially in this time in which villainy is confused with virtue. A recent example is healthcare CEO murderer Luigi Mangione, whose crowdfunding donations have reached…

  • MABA: Make America Birth Again? Women Putting Babies Over Careers

    By Selwyn Duke It certainly is odd that the ideological set now claiming not to know what a woman is once claimed to know precisely what a woman’s role should be. But it did. And, boy, was it ever a coup, in league with convincing eagles they shouldn’t fly or sunfish they shouldn’t swim. In…

  • Douglas Murray to Joe Rogan: You’re Platforming RADICALS Who Mislead

    By Selwyn Duke Is one man’s radical another man’s reasoned voice? You might suppose that could be the thinking in this relativistic age. But this certainly wasn’t the perspective of British journalist Douglas Murray while appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast last Thursday. In fact, Murray called Rogan out on the show, saying he was platforming…

  • The Autism Explosion: Is It Vaccines, Fluoride — or Modern Society?

    By Selwyn Duke Common sense is “that forgotten branch of psychology,” observed philosopher G.K. Chesterton in the early 1900s. One could wonder what he’d say today, with “psychology” — which means “study of the soul” — being both soulless and ubiquitous. And it being so widespread is a reason, it’s said, that autism diagnoses are…

  • Deadly Marriage? The Dems’ Disastrous Refusal to Divorce the “Trans” Lobby

    By Selwyn Duke When the history of our time is finally written, assuming there’s someone around to write it (AI?), one can imagine how the historians may interpret the Democrats’ obsession with pseudo-sex-switching. “They believed boys could become girls merely by wishing it, and they persecuted those deviating from this orthodoxy.” “It’s why the Democratic…

  • Wokeness as Bold as Trump: Arrested for a Meme, Dead-naming Punishment, Black Bird-watcher Bias

    By Selwyn Duke Legendary president Ronald Reagan authored a “revolution,” seeking to shrink government, lower taxes, reduce regulations, and defeat the Soviet menace. He accomplished much governmentally, too, earning the ire of leftists who dubbed him “Ronald Ray-gun.” Yet in truth, he could do little about our cultural trajectory, and American society was notably more…

  • Free-speech Support Declining in U.S. — With the Young Leading the Way

    By Selwyn Duke Here’s an interesting test if you have any young people in your life. Ask them to finish the following rhyme: “Sticks and stones may….” A second question you can pose to the whippersnapper is: Is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment? (And just hope they know what the First Amendment is.)…

  • Bill Maher “Goes Civil” on President Trump During White House Visit

    Image created using AI. By Selwyn Duke There’s a simple rule of life: If people cannot talk things out, they’re left to fight them out. One man who apparently understands this is Democratic comedian-cum-commentator Bill Maher. After all, bucking criticism from fellow liberals (leftists), Maher recently agreed to accept an invitation to visit the White…

  • The Case for Race and Sex Discrimination

    By Selwyn Duke A few decades ago a woman I knew well, of Japanese descent, told me a story about a time she walked into a Korean restaurant. “We don’t want your kind in here,” someone staffing the eatery bluntly told her. Old prejudices die hard, and the woman promptly left. She could’ve filed a…

  • Christian Revival: Is (Once?) Woke Silicon Valley Coming to Jesus?

    By Selwyn Duke When it was alleged in 2023 that the message “Jesus died so you could live” was labeled “hate speech” by Facebook, it perhaps was not surprising. Two years later, however, something else surely is. Christian code has entered Silicon Valley, we hear, and may be supplanting its notoriously secular programming. Apparently, man does…
