  • Is Germany Becoming a Third World Country?

    By Selwyn Duke “There’s no England now,” stated the Kinks in 1984, in a song that, in part, lamented the 20th-century loss of English identity. Today, in the 21st century, perhaps it could be said that there’s no Germany now.

  • Stutterin’ Joe? Actually, He Was Once Called “The Great Talker”

    By Selwyn Duke Self-delusion is an amazing thing. Despite Joe Biden’s nation-shocking debate performance, there are still those refusing to see that the emperor has no clothes. In particular, heard is the notion that “Biden isn’t cognitively impaired, no, no — he just has a stutter.” A longtime commenter at my website just asserted this with…

  • Joe Biden’s Man Problem

    By Selwyn Duke “C’mon, man!” would often be an exclamation used in place of argument for Joe Biden. But now he may want to say “C’mon, men!” — even though it likely won’t help. With what? Biden is underwater with male voters, a phenomenon that has only worsened since his cognitive decline was on full…

  • “Toxic Masculinity” Is a Toxic Fiction; “Stop Blaming Men,” Says Author

    By Selwyn Duke Overlapping with the “Enlightenment” and a reaction to it, the lesser-known “Romantic Period” (1790-1850, supposedly) stressed not reason but emotionalism and involved the exaltation of women. Over time this spirit metastasized into an attendant demonization of men; thus do we hear today about “toxic masculinity.” But this is essentially a toxic lie,…

  • Study: WHO Data Show Surge in Covid-shot-related Heart Deaths

    By Selwyn Duke It’s “as serious as a heart attack.” In fact, it is a heart attack — or, at least, something related to it. Unfortunately, too many people haven’t taken seriously the issue of Covid-shot-related heart problems, even though evidence of their existence has been mounting for some time.

  • Leftist News Org Urges Biden Campaign to Use AI to Fool Public About Joe’s Senility

    By Selwyn Duke “Fool me once, shame on you,” the saying goes; “fool me twice, it’s AI.” Okay, that’s not really the saying, but it might be the reality with Joe Biden if his campaign acts on a leftist news organization’s advice: Use artificial intelligence (AI) to trick the public into thinking Biden is not exhibiting…

  • Many Gen Zers Don’t Like America. Is It Surprising?

    By Selwyn Duke A recent survey found that 40 percent of Generation Z believes our Founding Fathers are more akin to villains than heroes. This stat is just a reflection, too, of a generation that studies show is the least patriotic in American history. In fact, laments one Gen Z (born between 1997 and 2012)…

  • “Russia Is Bluffing” Could Be a World-ending Miscalculation, Warns Expert

    By Selwyn Duke Before going all in and betting the house on a poker hand, in the belief your opponent is bluffing, you’d better hope your judgment is sound. You should know that it’s not warped by self-delusion, by wishful thinking, or projection. You’d also better make sure the cost-benefit analysis justifies the risk, that…

  • Marine Le Pen Challenges CNN on “Far-right” Label

    By Selwyn Duke A jockey will appear a giant in a land of Lilliputians, an ordinary face will be thought beauty in a tribe of beasts — and anything will seem “far right” to CNN. One person who might agree with this, too, after being interviewed on the network, is French politician Marine Le Pen.…

  • “Rejoice!” Says Writer, and Celebrate Independence From Chevron Tyranny

    By Selwyn Duke Would you want to be ruled by a government of unelected Anthony Faucis? It’s a relevant question because, although it’s seldom framed this way, that’s precisely what the “Chevron doctrine” gave us for 40 years. Overturning almost 200 years of precedent — the precedent whereby our elected representatives made law and, if it…
