  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • Forget “Democratic Socialism,” Says Economist; Embrace “Democratic Capitalism”

    By Selwyn Duke “The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to make a profit,” wrote labor leader Samuel Gompers. This is also the sentiment with which economist and professor Mark Skousen opened a recent article. In it he urges readers to “share the wealth,” not “redistribute it.” And Skousen discourages the…

  • Are Dem Progressive and “Moderate” Wings Meeting in the Middle to Win in ’26 and ’28?

    By Selwyn Duke Word has it that the Democrats, divided between their progressive and “moderate” (read: only somewhat radical) wings and tired of having extremism lose them elections, are making changes designed to deliver 2026 and ’28 victory. Oh, it’s not a Road to Damascus moment, but a “Road to Just Ask Us” moment. That is, they’re…

  • 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…

  • “I Beat Hitler” Says 98-year-old Trump Supporter

    By Selwyn Duke Meet Piri Katz, a strong supporter of a man whom she, at 98, can call “kid.” That man would be President Donald Trump. Katz may, too, have some choice words for those who’d impugn Trump as a “Nazi,” “Hitler,” or even just “authoritarian.” You see, Piri actually lived, and suffered, under Nazi…

  • 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…
