  • An Ex-Muslim’s Warning to America

    By Selwyn Duke It was in 2015 that Muslim refugee Dr. Mudar Zahran warned of the “soft Islamic conquest of the West.” Zahran was referring to the wave migration affecting Europe, which ultimately saw millions more Muslims enter the Continent. Now, a decade later, an ex-Muslim sounds the same alarm here in America. In fact,…

  • Religious Revival USA: “God Is Back”

    By Selwyn Duke “Skepticism has never lasted two generations,” said G.K. Chesterton in a 1931 debate with Scopes “Monkey Trial” lawyer Clarence Darrow. “The first generation laughs at the Bible,” goes a later elaboration on the idea. The “second questions the laughter; the third weeps because there is nothing left to laugh at.” And then,…

  • Bill Maher: Trump Right on Ending Education Dept.

    By Selwyn Duke Here’s a question: How much replication do we need in government? How many levels of government must we have doing the same thing — and sometimes conflicting with each other? How many captains should there be on a ship? This could come to mind when pondering, oh, let’s say, the United States…

  • “Pride” Flag Flies (in Victory?) Over Now-purplish ex-Catholic Church in Small-town USA

    By Selwyn Duke Et tu, Mayberry? Just recently I took a couple of friends to visit old hinterland haunts in upstate N.Y., places I used to visit on vacation or when house sitting. At issue are one-horse towns in rural Delaware County, which went for President Trump in last year’s election by almost 60 percent.…

  • Guys Going Galt: “How They Broke The Boys”

    By Selwyn Duke It was in 2005 that I wrote about the “dehumanizing of men.” A half-decade earlier, the book The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers was published. Yet the anti-male spirit of the age marched on, and now the consequences are painfully apparent. In fact and in a way, young men today are going…

  • Christian Refugee Fled Jihadists in Iraq — Then Was Killed by Jihadists in France

    By Selwyn Duke “Granting asylum to the persecuted is legitimate,” said a French politician recently. But “our uncontrolled immigration policy now leads us to welcome their executioners [too].” Unfortunately for a man named Ashur Sarnaya, a 45-year-old Assyrian Christian, he became a case in point. He and his family managed to escape Islamic State jihadist…

  • The Wrong Red Wave: More Than 250 “Democratic Socialists” Now in Office

    By Selwyn Duke Meet Hannah Shvets, a 20-year-old Cornell University sophomore and one of the newest members of New York’s Ithaca Common Council. Shvets is also a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). She additionally has membership in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), as does New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, whom she…

  • Cop Being Investigated for “Misgendering” Man in Drag

    By Selwyn Duke When dressing as a woman in the war-based sitcom M.A.S.H., character Corporal Klinger’s goal was expulsion from the military. It was taken as given back then (1970s), after all, that a man with such a compulsion had psychological issues. But times have changed. Now you may be punished if you take issue with…

  • Red Alert: Why Support for Socialism Is Growing

    By Selwyn Duke Here’s a question: What percentage of all the people who’ve ever lived on Earth is the average American richer than? Answer: 99.9 percent. We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity, yet many people are still dissatisfied. They feel as if they’ve been denied some birthright, some societal bequeathment. And, recent survey data have…

  • Winning WWII Was “NOT Worth the Result,” Says Sad D-Day Veteran

    By Selwyn Duke The “sacrifice” necessary to win WWII “wasn’t worth the result that it is now.” So said a Good Morning Britain (GMB) guest on Friday in a now viral interview clip. And if anyone is entitled to make such a comment, it is that guest: 100-year-old Alec Penstone. Penstone, you see, is a Royal Navy…
