  • By Selwyn Duke “Sugar and spice and everything nice; That’s what little girls are made of,” goes the old Romantic Period poem. Grown women are characterized differently, the work holds, and female leaders? Poem author Robert Southey didn’t say. But pundit Tucker Carlson just did. In fact, he stated while addressing the notion that “women…

  • By Selwyn Duke “People often ask, ‘Where are all the leaders?’ But it’s the wrong question. They should instead ask, ‘Where are all the followers?’” This statement, which I made on a radio show many years ago, mirrors the old aphorism, “People get the government they deserve.” It also is essentially what’s lamented by an…

  • By Selwyn Duke Sweden long ago became the world’s first officially “feminist” government. Will it now be followed by what some might think is, outside the Islamic world, the unlikeliest of places: Mexico? This may be the case if its president-elect, ex-academic Claudia Sheinbaum, has her way. Focus on Feminism In fact, while Sheinbaum —…

  • By Selwyn Duke It has been pointed out that during our history, it is Democrats who’ve gotten us involved in most of our wars. They’ve also had a strong hand, to say the least, in sparking our failed ones. This didn’t stop MSNBC from claiming otherwise in a hit piece on GOP vice-presidential candidate J.D.…

  • By Selwyn Duke “The white race is the cancer of human history,” wrote feminist author Susan Sontag in 1966. While Sontag has passed on, her idea has passed on to critical-mass stage; in fact, the notion that whites are history’s “oppressors” and everyone else is the “oppressed” is now left-wing dogma as much as “four…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s no surprise that black Americans used to be Republicans. The GOP is, after all, the party of Lincoln and slavery abolition. For more than half a century, however, blacks have given approximately 90 percent of their support to Democrats every election. What’s more, laments a black writer and speaker, “Democrats are guilt tripping…

  • By Selwyn Duke Asian-descent Americans have long enjoyed notably higher incomes than their white countrymen do. It’s also true that men earn more money than women do. Now, question: Are both, neither, or just one of these wage gaps seen as a “problem” to be “remedied”? If you answered “just one” — and know which…

  • By Selwyn Duke “New research makes it increasingly clear that companies with more diverse workforces perform better financially,” proclaimed McKinsey & Company in 2015. McKinsey’s study was taken seriously, too; in fact, it would be transformational. Citing McKinsey in 2016, the Harvard Business Review announced, definitively, “Striving to increase workplace diversity is not an empty…

  • By Selwyn Duke If the current enviro-doomsayer predictions frighten you, don’t worry. Just wait a bit. They’ll change. The kicker is that “predictions” about the past will change, too. A case in point is a recent Washington Post admission that all the “fossil fuels” we’ve been burning have had a global-warming-neutralizing cooling effect. And if this frightens you because…

  • By Selwyn Duke The mainstream media never claimed “both sides” were culpable for the J6 riot, even though the Left had already normalized political violence (BLM/Antifa). But with Saturday’s assassination attempt against President Trump, it’s different: To dilute their own responsibility, leftist media are asserting that “both sides” are responsible for the act. My, how…
