By Selwyn Duke If men are from Mars and women from Venus, as author John Gray put it, then something is for sure. Mars is MAGA territory. And Venus is Kamala Land. In fact, as polls consistently demonstrate, the intersex voting gap is perhaps now historically large. For example, the latest NBC poll finds that men favor…

By Selwyn Duke Any discriminating shopper knows that you can’t judge a product’s goodness based on its name or a manufacturer’s advertisement. Those are just superficial appeals designed to entice. Instead, you must examine the ingredients label. So it is, too, with government laws and propositions, a good example being New York’s Equal Rights Amendment…

By Selwyn Duke “There was a time, not that many years ago, really, when we would actually get into an argument because we didn’t want to answer the phone,” quite funny and mostly clean comedian James Gregory once said during an act. “It’d be like, ‘You get it; I got it last time!’” Boy, the world sure…

By Selwyn Duke “Leave this world a little better than you found it,” advised the creator of the Scouting movement, Robert Baden-Powell. Critics might say, and are saying in so many words, that ex-President Barack Obama has failed on this score. He still is failing, too, and his recent campaigning for Kamala Harris is a case…

Now, in our diversity-über-alles society, calls to equity from the morally bent have a racial bent. This would explain, too, a couple of recent stories. The first is about…

By Selwyn Duke Conservatives, let not your heart be troubled. You are being censored more on social media than liberals are, a new study has discovered. But the researchers can help you solve the problem because, they say, they have identified it. You. The study has “found,” you see, that conservatives endure social-media suspension more…

By Selwyn Duke There’s “wisdom from the mouths of babes” and then there’s, well, what CNN found in a recent study. That is, despite liberals’ chest-thumping about their “tolerance,” they’re not the ones raising tolerant kids. Oh, it isn’t just that “Democrat-leaning” children are far more negative about Donald Trump than “Republican-leaning” children are about…
