By Selwyn Duke “Sometimes smart people have a hard time believing stuff that everybody else knows.” So said the condemned (and possessed) convict in the “religious” film Nefarious (2023) to his self-assured atheist psychiatrist. Charles Murray, the famed political scientist and successful author, can certainly relate to this. Quoting his wife on religion, he stated…

By Selwyn Duke The Muslim Brotherhood once outlined a plan that “involved softening America through cultural influence, political infiltration, and demographic expansion,” as one ex-Muslim observer related it. And now critics have an Exhibit A in the cultural-influence department. To celebrate the Islamic holiday Eid, there’ll be an event originally billed as “Muslims Only” at a taxpayer-funded…

Image created with Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke In 2018-2019, Democrats lifted a ban on head coverings in the House so that newly-sworn-in Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) could wear her hijab. Democrats have also generally defended the “right” to sport Muslim headwear in schools, workplaces, and in interactions with government. But Democrats in former President…

By Selwyn Duke Here’s a good question: What’s the point in sending the military to the Mideast to defend the West while also bringing the Mideast to the West?

By Selwyn Duke “The dog is man’s best friend” the saying goes. Why, we humans argue about most everything, notes website History and Headlines. “If there is one thing most people agree on, though, it is dogs,” it continues. “How can you not love them?” Maybe one Nerdeen Kiswani can answer that question. After all, Kiswani,…

By Selwyn Duke Interestingly, the very first “leftist” revolution provided the very first case of a leftist revolution eating its own. That is, Maximilien Robespierre, the French Revolution’s main author, was opposed to the death penalty while seeking power. He then wantonly killed opponents upon attaining it — and finally began murdering former allies. (He…

‘Tis the season to…use the Christmas story for political gain? We’ve heard the line repeatedly. Somehow, we’re not supposed to secure our borders in 2025 and deport invaders because 2,000 years ago the Holy Family were “refugees.” Just today, for example, Newspeak Newsweek wrote that “it’s worth remembering that Jesus began life as a refugee.” (And, apparently then, it’s worth…

By Selwyn Duke “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose,” noted Austrian psychiatrist/philosopher Viktor Frankl. Much has been written about the need for meaning, in recent years especially. Without it, a person can descend into a morass of addiction, degradation, and self-destruction. The same, however, is true…
