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…

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…

By Selwyn Duke It’s that season again, that time for New Year’s resolutions, when we put our minds to perhaps giving up junk food or engaging in regular exercise. Yet while this is all well and good, even better is to add to it the aim of purging the spiritual junk food of sin from…

By Selwyn Duke Are the capons finally coming home to roost for the doctors prescribing “transgender” treatments for children and irreparably harming them? This may be the case if a new malpractice lawsuit is any indication. It was filed by a woman prescribed puberty blockers at age 12 and, unbelievably, a double mastectomy at 14. This has been…

By Selwyn Duke It’s a tale of two naked-city stories. As most know, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a New York City street in December 4’s early morning hours. To the surprise of many, too, millions are applauding Mangione as a hero who struck back at a corrupt system. Why, journalist…

Yet the Land of the Rising Sun never had a chance. With an industrial base dwarfed by that of the United States, its eventual defeat was…
