  • The Homeschoolers Who Proved That School Is a Waste of Time

    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…

  • Duke Asks: “Is It Time To Ban Girl Cops?”

    By Selwyn Duke “Well, that’s very stylish.” So said tough silver-screen cop Dirty Harry Callahan, in the 1976 film The Enforcer, reacting to a feminist initiative. Its goal was, a woke female official informed, to “broaden the areas of participation for women in the police force.” This was, of course, art imitating life, and today we’re…

  • Will Media Matters Shatter? Left-wing Smear Group May Collapse Over Lawsuits and Investigations

    Image: Public Domain/Wikimedia Commons By Selwyn Duke Some people may call it the chickens coming home to roost. Media Matters for America (MMfA), a George Soros-funded left-wing censorship group, reportedly may be on the verge of collapse. The organization is reeling after a series of lawsuits and government investigations, which are straining its already frazzled…

  • We Hear Gen Z Is “Shifting Right,” Yet 62% Like Socialism and 34% Like Communism

    By Selwyn Duke “Communist governments killed 100 million people during the 20th century,” I told a young man about seven or eight years ago. I’ll never forget the look of surprise that registered on his face. Though he was approximately 18 and had attended a wealthy suburb’s “good” government schools, he’d never heard that before.…

  • Right-wing Threat? In Germany, 99% of Serious Terrorism Involves Foreigners/Islamists

    By Selwyn Duke “I have photos, I have images, I have pictures, I have names of terrorists who actually are already in Europe posting their photos in Europe on Facebook.” So said asylee Dr. Mudar Zahran, a Jordanian Palestinian academic, while expressing opposition to Muslim migration into Europe in 2015. Now there’s the following headline…

  • Hunter (and Grok) Says Yes, but Do Native-born Whites Really Commit More Crime Than Illegals?

    By Selwyn Duke A motley crew of media and others, from Politifact to the CATO Institute, have claimed that illegal aliens have a lower crime rate than native-born Americans do. In a recent interview, prodigal presidential son Hunter Biden went even further. He claimed that white males are 45 times as likely to commit violent…

  • SCOTUS May Overturn 45-year Precedent — Which Itself Overturned 193-year Precedent

    By Selwyn Duke Should the Ten Commandments be displayed in public schools? With relatively new Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas laws mandating such, this matter may soon come before the Supreme Court. The reportage on this is interesting, too. The “Court may soon consider overturning 45-year precedent,” reads a recent Newsweek headline. Unmentioned is that this now-“45-year precedent”…

  • Old Media Dying: Waning CBS Cancels Colbert. Is Kimmel Next?

    By Selwyn Duke “So, for the first time in history, Americans have stopped watching NBC, CBS TV, and ABC,” reported commentator Bill O’Reilly Thursday. “Their viewing level has fallen below 20 percent — unheard of.” “And it’s because they’re boring and they’re far left,” O’Reilly elaborated. “That’s the two reasons.” The latest casualty of this legacy-media…

  • Democrats Are Openly Embracing Socialism Now (or Is It Communism?)

    By Selwyn Duke It was back in 1880’s Britain that liberal politician Sir William Harcourt infamously said, “We are all socialists now.” (Perhaps this would explain why today’s Britain is poorer than Mississippi — literally.) But here’s a question: Should the Democratic Party make this pronouncement now? And should they add, “And communism can sorta’ fly, too”?…

  • 16-year-olds Will Be Voting: UK’s Libs Aim to Stay in Power by Recruiting Kids

    By Selwyn Duke Facing severe manpower shortages in WWII’s waning months, Nazi Germany conscripted adolescent boys, some as young as 12, into military service. This was a sign of desperation, of course, one that ended well for neither kids nor country. And we see another attempt to recruit the young for something they’re ill prepared…
