Hanson: Germany, Poster Boy for the West’s Decline, Is Committing “Slow-motion Suicide”

February 18, 2025

By Selwyn Duke While summering in Germany at the age of 12, a person I was visiting mentioned something about his countrymen. “Germans are always 100 percent,” he said. He was referencing how, by his lights, they were a monolithic lot. This isn’t literally true. But what is surely correct is that Germans can be “100…
Booting Beelzebub: Trump Targets Anti-Christian Bias in Government

February 8, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Christians “should be eradicated without hesitation or remorse.” So remarked an “elite” respondent years ago in a sociological study that documented anti-Christian bigotry in the United States. And just this week, too, we heard that the Idaho National Guard allegedly has a “no Christians in command” policy. But the man in command of our…
God Driving the Devil Out? NY Times Writer Predicts a Religious Revival

December 31, 2024

By Selwyn Duke “This is the end of marriage, capitalism and God. Finally!” a 2016 Salon title jubilantly proclaimed. Religion has been in decline in the West, too. But “This Christmas Seems Different” (yes, it’s still Christmastime), says a writer — at The New York Times, no less. That writer, man of faith Ross Douthat, senses a religious revival, though…
Population Collapse: Is (Western) Human Extinction Near?

December 30, 2024

By Selwyn Duke Dating back to the Middle Ages, the town of Semestene in Sardinia, Italy, has quite a history — one that could come to an end within a decade. With a population that has dwindled rapidly in recent years, 54 of its 126 residents are aged 65 or over. The town has just four children under…
Following Trump Win, Leftists’ Meltdowns and Murders of Family Reflect “Mental Illness”

November 15, 2024

By Selwyn Duke "Liberalism is a mental disorder," commentator and ex-radio host Michael Savage would say, uttering a line that became one of his book titles. Critics might label this assertion polemics designed to boost entertainment value, but it may be vindicated by research. Just consider the 2021 study finding that more than 50 percent…
Anti-Christianity? “Black” Church Attendance Actually INCREASES Support for Kamala

October 29, 2024

By Selwyn Duke Church-attendance habits have long been one of the best predictors of voting patterns. That is, regular attendees support Republicans by a significant margin, while those never or seldom attending break solidly Democrat. But a new study has revealed a striking exception to this rule: black American churchgoers. In fact, just the opposite as…
Canada Fines Amish $300K for Not Using Covid App on Smartphones They Don’t Have

September 28, 2024

By Selwyn Duke It’s right up there, or down there, with kicking puppies and putting kittens in clothes dryers. How else, after all, would you characterize the tormenting of the Amish, everyone’s favorite quaint, pacifistic Luddites? Well, there is another way — as something Justin Trudeau’s Canada is currently doing. The story, which broke a…
Does Christian Fundamentalism “Infect” Our Schools?

July 26, 2024

By Selwyn Duke As if cuing ominous music, we hear incessant warnings today about “Christian nationalism” and “fundamentalism.” We’re supposed to fear these forces and, in particular, their alleged inroads into education. In fact, as the Los Angeles Times writes this week, this phenomenon threatens to “destroy” our schools and transform us “from a democracy to a…
Louisiana, Law, and Lies: Is Displaying the Ten Commandments in Classrooms Constitutional?

June 21, 2024

By Selwyn Duke “The fundamental basis of this Nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount,” said a famed American figure. “The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.” Which evangelist said the above? Billy Graham? Pat…
Left-wing Violence: Abortion Radicals Attack Churches; Biden Turns Blind Eye

June 5, 2024

By Selwyn Duke There are sins of commission, things you shouldn’t have done, but did; and sins of omission, things you should have done, but didn’t. When the two come together, you can have evildoers and enablers, such as when miscreants commit crimes and authorities ignore the crimes. Enter the Biden administration.
