By Selwyn Duke In 2020, women voted for Joe Biden over President Trump by a percentage margin of 55-44. This “sex gap” was even greater in the 2018 midterms, where women supported Democrats over Republicans 59-40. So it’s not surprising that this campaign season the Democrats are, as always, trying to marshal female support. They…

By Selwyn Duke “Blaming Immigrants For Eating Pets Is An Old American Urban Legend,” reads a Sunday Forbes headline. We hear, too, that all the current stories about Haitians dining on cats and dogs is driven by “racism.” (Unsaid is that this accusation itself is driven, in part, by immigrationism.) But amidst all the cute cat…

By Selwyn Duke “Leave it to a good guy with a gun to really screw things up,” said a comely female cop on an episode of ABC’s The Rookie. This utterance was no accident. Nor was it simply inspired by Hollywood’s well-known left-wing bent. Rather, gun-control groups readily admit they work with screenwriters and producers to…

As to this bias’ reality, there’s a story currently in the news that illustrates it well. To wit: Nicole Shanahan, billionaire, entrepreneur, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s…

By Selwyn Duke Are you a Briton who’s upset that your government is quashing free speech and arresting people for social-media posts? If so, well, don’t take for granted that you’ll be able to drink your woes away. Because now the speech-squelching Labour Party, the equivalent of U.S. Democrats, has another bright idea. They want…

By Selwyn Duke “There is a level of adherence to rules on the other side [Republicans] that only when you’re at the very highest level, do you get over.” The preceding was uttered by a Democratic operative named Scott Foval while caught on hidden video in 2016. Foval knows of what he speaks, too — his business is…

By Selwyn Duke “Are Republicans losing the culture wars?” left-wing Politico asked recently. A better question is, though: Are we, as Americans, losing the war for our civilization? Moreover, how do we define “winning”? If a party triumphs politically by promising to rain down toxins upon us that most people mistake for manna from Heaven,…
