The choices we make in our daily lives shape our culture and the type of country we have. After all, politics is downstream from culture. By Selwyn Duke With President Donald Trump’s historic and resounding election victory, many are relieved. His supporters may feel, “Mission accomplished!” while his opponents (those not throwing tantrums) might’ve resigned…

By Selwyn Duke It’s a tale of two companies. One went woke, began to go broke, and now embraces the macho bloke. The other, slow on the uptake, just stepped on the woke rake and now has a real headache. The latter is British auto manufacturer Jaguar, whose most recent commercial looks like the bar…

By Selwyn Duke “But there’s no England now” is a famous lyric composed by songwriter and Kinks band member Dave Davies. One could wonder if he was aware of a certain irony, or if the given connection is actually by design. That is, the song containing the lyric was released in “1984,” which also is…

By Selwyn Duke "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next,” the apocryphal saying goes. Given this, it’s notable that the “Left” has long controlled American education. (E.g., Democrats outnumber Republicans among college professors by almost nine to one.)

In fact, it could be said that millions love what they think the Democratic Party is. Relatively few love what it…

By Selwyn Duke Church-attendance habits have long been one of the best predictors of voting patterns. That is, regular attendees support Republicans by a significant margin, while those never or seldom attending break solidly Democrat. But a new study has revealed a striking exception to this rule: black American churchgoers. In fact, just the opposite as…

(Image credit: Beatchoose/Wikimedia Commons) By Selwyn Duke We hear continual warnings from the Establishment and the Left (and the overlap there is profound) about “attacks on democracy.” Donald Trump, of course, is supposed to be a “threat to democracy.” Yet it all appears like projection. Why? Because the self-proclaimed “defenders of democracy” are now aiming…

By Selwyn Duke “We make a living by what we get,” said Winston Churchill, “but we make a life by what we give.” Well more than 2,000 years before, ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu also sang charity’s praises. “The wise man does not lay up his own treasures,” he averred. “The more he gives to…

By Selwyn Duke When even The New York Times complains about your leftism, you know that you not only jumped the shark with wokism, but that the shark you jumped is a megalodon. This is the case, too, with a new report on how the University of Michigan squandered megabucks on DEI indoctrination. The result of these…
