By Selwyn Duke From each according to his skin color and, well, to each according to his skin color? That’s right, forget the old Marxist formula. 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…

By Selwyn Duke What is the most important job in the world? Is it being the president of the United States? Is it being a scientist working on cold fusion, now considered the “holy grail” of energy innovation? Is it toiling away as a researcher seeking a cure for cancer? Is it being a military…

That will be the result, anyway, if Coke follows through on a pledge to enforce new diversity goals. That is, to align their employee racial, ethnic,…

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…

By Selwyn Duke Less than a decade ago, Sweden was accepting more migrants relative to its population than any other nation on Earth. Its state TV ran ads proclaiming “My country is also yours” and that Swedes must integrate into the new multicultural reality. Now, this year, more migrants will leave Sweden than arrive there.…
