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 It’s a shame, and a sign of the times, that we mostly hear the term “virtue” via that misbegotten newer term “virtue-signaling.” Oh, the critique the latter denotes is absolutely valid, but packaging matters. (Thus do I use “value-signaling” instead.) Illustrating why was a reader reaction to one of my articles years…

By Selwyn Duke Many years ago now, I encountered a man wearing a T-shirt stating “Everybody lies, nobody cares.” I thankfully never saw that shirt again. But I did think to myself at the time, “Well, I don’t lie — and I do care.” We all should. No one had to explain why, either, to John Birch…

By Selwyn Duke Addressing a large group of arrivals in Hell, the Devil said, reassuringly, “You’ll find there’s no right or wrong here. Just what works for you.” That scene, presented on a 1977 New Yorker magazine cover, well epitomizes our time, a new study has found. In fact, the research shows, most Americans reject moral absolutes…

Image created with Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke If Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of the Harry Potter actors really could perform magic, maybe, just perhaps, they could turn a man into a woman. But it’s impossible beyond the world of Hollywood fantasy. This hasn’t stopped them, however, from embracing the fantasy that this sexual transformation can,…

Image created using AI. By Selwyn Duke There’s a simple rule of life: If people cannot talk things out, they’re left to fight them out. One man who apparently understands this is Democratic comedian-cum-commentator Bill Maher. After all, bucking criticism from fellow liberals (leftists), Maher recently agreed to accept an invitation to visit the White…

By Selwyn Duke When it was alleged in 2023 that the message “Jesus died so you could live” was labeled “hate speech” by Facebook, it perhaps was not surprising. Two years later, however, something else surely is. Christian code has entered Silicon Valley, we hear, and may be supplanting its notoriously secular programming. Apparently, man does…

By Selwyn Duke My, the worm truly has turned — at least halfway. It wasn’t that long ago, really, that conservatives lamented how “mainstream” media “controlled the narrative.” Back in 2011, in fact, Professor Tim Groseclose estimated that “media bias aids Democratic candidates by about 8 to 10 percentage points in a typical election.” Now,…

By Selwyn Duke “Lord, what fools these mortals be!” This remark, made by the mischievous sprite Puck in William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was directed at the absurdity of man’s love affairs. And while such folly is timeless, the comment is also relevant to a rather odd love affair perhaps unique to our time.…

By Selwyn Duke Since my title is bound to inspire criticism that I’m a “God botherer,” I’ll preface what follows by stating that I wasn’t always the halo-adorned, floating-in-the-ether desert mystic (without the sand or heat) you behold today. I wasn’t raised with faith, and as a 12-year-old was an agnostic who’d say, “I’d never…
