By Selwyn Duke Ex-president Bill Clinton, who in 1998 said in response to questions about infidelity, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky” (even though he did), apparently isn’t alone among Democrats in having the morals of an alley cat. That’s what a new study shows, anyway. The recently released research,…

By Selwyn Duke “There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper,” pointed out feminist professor and cultural critic Camille Paglia, demonstrating a grasp of sex differences. Men do get plenty of “credit” for their Jack the Rippers, too. And their Mozarts (and heroes)? Not so much.

By Selwyn Duke Are the capons finally coming home to roost for the doctors prescribing “transgender” treatments for children and irreparably harming them? This may be the case if a new malpractice lawsuit is any indication. It was filed by a woman prescribed puberty blockers at age 12 and, unbelievably, a double mastectomy at 14. This has been…

By Selwyn Duke It’s a tale of two naked-city stories. As most know, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a New York City street in December 4’s early morning hours. To the surprise of many, too, millions are applauding Mangione as a hero who struck back at a corrupt system. Why, journalist…

By Selwyn Duke On December 7, 1941, Japan won a victory so resounding at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, that a casual observer might have considered its empire an unstoppable force. Yet the Land of the Rising Sun never had a chance. With an industrial base dwarfed by that of the United States, its eventual defeat was…

By Selwyn Duke Certain people in our society are members of what has been called the “culture of death.” They have outed themselves again, too, in a most shocking way: Celebrating the murder of the healthcare CEO assassinated Wednesday on a Manhattan street. What’s more, in this they’re not just cheering the murder of a…

By Selwyn Duke Some companies advertise their fall from grace. Bud Light, for example, signaled descent into woke darkness with a “trans” influencer ad campaign. It didn’t end well (though, really, it hasn’t yet ended). Jaguar exhibited symptoms of mad cat disease with a commercial featuring what look like sexually confused extraterrestrials visiting Earth. Whether this…

By Selwyn Duke With the election of Donald Trump, many Americans are hopeful that so-called wokeness will go the way of the dodo. Yet as recent warnings inform, such cultural change requires, well, a change in the culture (not just the politics). And perhaps helpful in this regard is considering what happens when a civilization…

By Selwyn Duke The above claim, made just recently, is not about our Ukraine-proxy war with Russia. It’s not about our continuing military actions against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. It’s not about something as mundane as how the U.S. is, technically, still at war with North Korea. Rather, it’s about an ongoing, existential conflict…

By Selwyn Duke “If you want peace, prepare for war,” goes the adage. Yet in the U.S. in recent decades, it’s as if we’ve been preparing for peace while waging war. The result? Our stockpiles of weapons are so dangerously low that we have only one to three weeks of munitions available for a major…
