  • Digital Stepford Wives? Men Are Falling in Love With AI-generated Female Influencers

    By Selwyn Duke In the “old” days of the internet, you perhaps had to be wary of some creep in a chat masquerading as an appealing romantic interest. But that was small ball. Today some men are falling for gorgeous female “influencers” — who happen to be generated via artificial intelligence (AI). The kicker: Some…

  • Wealthy Leftists: Stealing Is OK for Us — and Sometimes Murder, Too

    By Selwyn Duke What happens when you raise generations not with virtue but with “situational values”? What’s the result when kids are pandered to, coddled, never told “No!” and get participation trophies? One result just may be wealthy, spoiled adults who believe its okay for them to steal and even, sometimes, murder. Oh, they have their rationalizations…

  • The Left’s War on Comedy Is No Laughing Matter

    By Selwyn Duke If pure-hearted laughter is divine, the suppression of it is demonic. This could come to mind with our Left’s war on comedy, which really is happening. It also really is a campaign common to leftists. Just ask USSR-born comedian Yakov Smirnoff, a man popular during the late Cold War period (the 1980s).…

  • Communism Is Sneaking Up on Us Americans; In Fact, It’s Nipping at Our Heels

    By Selwyn Duke “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism,” goes the apocryphal saying generally attributed to six-time presidential candidate Norman Thomas. “But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

  • Today’s Schools Hurt Black Students More Than the KKK Ever Could

    By Selwyn Duke “The Ku Klux Klan couldn’t sabotage chances for black academic excellence more effectively than the public school system in most cities,” noted the late Professor Walter E. Williams. Apropos to this, Williams also stated that whatever you say about “civil-rights” activist Malcolm X, he was right about something. To wit: The greatest enemy black…

  • SCOTUS’ Chiles Decision Strikes a Blow Against Homo/“Trans” Lobby — and for Freedom

    By Selwyn Duke The Supreme Court just struck a blow against a very perverse double standard, one common in many states. That standard is this: You can prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for a child and scar him for life. This is in service to the delusion that the youth is stuck in the…

  • MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+: Wokeness Now Generating AI-worthy Acronyms

    By Selwyn Duke Think wokeness has gone the way of the dodo? Actually, it’s gone the way of the dumdum. It hasn’t died — it’s just become more unintelligible. Consider MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. No, that’s not my WIFI password (full disclosure: I stole that joke). It’s a victim-group acronym seamlessly disgorged by a very perturbed Canadian politician.…

  • Demographic Realists Rise: Immigration, Long an American Addiction, Is Finally Being Challenged

    By Selwyn Duke A civilizational sea change is occurring, an ideological inflection point may be getting closer. Immigration, long considered as American as apple pie, as almost sacrosanct, is being questioned. The belief underlying it, immigrationism, suddenly no longer has the almost universal dogma status it once enjoyed.

  • Trump Terminates Agreements Requiring Schools to Enable “Transgenderism”

    By Selwyn Duke Most of us have heard about the scores (or more) of “genders” social engineers have conjured up. Thanks to the Trump administration, however, school officials will no longer have to identify as a particular one: “pandergender.” This is because the administration’s Department of Education is terminating coercive, Obama/Biden-era agreements compelling schools to…

  • Rescuing Western Civilization From Its “Domestic Enemies”

    By Selwyn Duke It is interesting to note that both ancient Greece, the “cradle of Western civilization,” and the Roman Empire, which spread Western civilization, declined and “fell” due partially to internal divisions. Another point to ponder is something Salvian of Marseilles, a Christian priest, observed in the mid fifth century: Does such loathing (though…
