  • Toronto Zoo’s Latest Exhibit: Drag Queens for Kids

    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.…

  • The Untold Reason for Mamdani’s Mayoral Win

    By Selwyn Duke There’s a reason why, historically, demagogues have been so successful. It’s one we ignore at our own peril, too, because it holds the key to future political victory. The NYC mayoral Democrat primary race results have shaken the political world. Candidate Zohran Mamdani, described as a Marxist Muslim, was five months ago…

  • “Decolonization”: Woke Canada Renames Street Something Resembling “Strong Wi-Fi Password”

    By Selwyn Duke All of us in the West, or virtually all, have ancestors who were at some point colonized. But only a select few of us get to have, in “decolonization’s” pursuit, streets renamed something no one can pronounce. And only a select few can enjoy this despite their ancestors never having created streets…

  • Reversal? On Same-sex “Marriage,” Reps and Dems Now WIDER Apart Than in Decades

    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…

  • France: Almost 150 Women at Music Festivals Attacked; Many Injected With Unknown Substances

    By Selwyn Duke It just keeps on getting more and more bizarre, life in the modern, “diversified” West. In recent years we’ve heard about knife, acid, and vehicular attacks in Europe and sometimes the United States. Now comes news that at least 145 music festival attendees, almost exclusively female, have been assaulted with syringes across…

  • New Poll Shows NYC May Have First Marxist-Muslim Mayor

    By Selwyn Duke He wants the police defunded, a full rent freeze, city-owned grocery stores, a $30 minimum wage, funding for illegals, millions for “gender-affirming” care — and more. Some people call him a Marxist; he calls himself a “democratic socialist.” But there’s something different still that New York City’s Zohran Mamdani may be called…

  • Trump vs. Leftists on Juneteenth: Is It Just a DEI Holiday?

    By Selwyn Duke Affirmative-action holidays, encouraged by value-signaling white liberals, are quite something. A Zambian friend of mine once remarked that in Africa he’d never even heard of “Kwanzaa,” a supposedly African holiday coinciding with Christmas. Of course not. It was made up out of whole cloth in 1966 by black American activist and criminal…

  • Florida Officials Gave Commercial Driver’s Licenses to Illegals; Arrests Made

    By Selwyn Duke Call them 18-wheeler and dealers — or just call them criminal and dangerous. But if you’re wondering why some semi-truck drivers today don’t seem very skilled and may not even speak English, wonder no more. Because, it has been revealed, some Florida officials were giving illegal aliens commercial driver’s licenses in exchange…

  • Minnesota Political Assassinations: The Fruits of Democratic Words and Deeds

    By Selwyn Duke Social norms are funny things, hardly set in stone. There was a time when vulgarity was unheard in our films; now its ubiquitous in them — and the wider society. In the 1950s, boys might take rifles on NYC’s subways because they had shooting clubs at their government schools. Now these institutions…

  • Why Honesty Is the Key to MAGA — and the Good Life

    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…
