  • By Selwyn Duke “Work expands to fit the allotted time,” the saying goes. And that education is no exception holds a lesson: Some will say when pondering homeschooling, “I’m not qualified to teach my kids.” But, informs homeschooling advocate Brett Pike, it’s not just that you can teach your kids — and splendidly. It’s that you can…

  • By Selwyn Duke Imagine, as a thought exercise, that a prominent man said the following, explaining why he was purposely raising kids without a mother. Do you know how f****** great it is to live exactly how I want to live, to experience fatherhood exactly how I wanted to experience it? And I know the next thing they say…

  • Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke Released in 1973, the dystopian film Soylent Green portrayed an overpopulated world of 40 billion, with teeming masses enduring food scarcity, poverty, social stratification, resource depletion, urban decay, and environmental collapse. Oh, all this was supposed to be happening in 2022. In reality, our global population in 2025 is…

  • Image credit: DVSROSS/Wikimedia Commons By Selwyn Duke You take for granted that, despite the abundance of wild creatures, your children will be safe at the zoo. The secure cages and pens lend that sense of security. But it’s a false sense at the Toronto Zoo, where a certain “species,” some say predatory, roams about unfettered.…

  • By Selwyn Duke When Barack Obama announced in 2014 that he believed the Constitution requires states to recognize same-sex “marriage,” it was said he’d “evolved” — again. But Americans have thus “evolved,” too, with support for faux (“same-sex”) marriage having increased for decades across groups. That is, until now. In a development no doubt surprising…

  • 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…

  • By Selwyn Duke Though an ardent leftist, late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once conceded that Roe v. Wade (1973) was a badly settled decision. But settled it was. Then the abortion ruling finally was “unsettled” and “resettled” in 2022 with the Dobbs decision. Will the same process unfold with the Obergefell v. Hodges same-sex “marriage” opinion…

  • By Selwyn Duke Dating back to the Middle Ages, the town of Semestene in Sardinia, Italy, has quite a history — one that could come to an end within a decade. With a population that has dwindled rapidly in recent years, 54 of its 126 residents are aged 65 or over. The town has just four children under…

  • 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 What is the most important job in the world? Is it being the president of the United States? Is it being a scientist working on cold fusion, now considered the “holy grail” of energy innovation? Is it toiling away as a researcher seeking a cure for cancer? Is it being a military…
