By Selwyn Duke After evaluating 45,000 youths, an interesting study out of Germany found that with increasing religiosity, Christian teens became less violent. The research also found, however, that with increasing religiosity, Muslim teens became more violent. That was back in 2010. Now, 15 years later, another study in Germany finds that violence among migrant children is exploding.…

By Selwyn Duke The story of George Franklin Grant, a dentist, academic and recreational golfer, is interesting. This isn’t just because he, a Harvard professor, invented a wood-composite golf tee in 1899. It’s that under many Americans’ conception of history, he shouldn’t even have existed. You see, Grant was a successful black man in the…

By Selwyn Duke Woke is Dead reads the title of journalist Piers Morgan’s recently rolled out book. President Donald Trump may subscribe to Morgan’s thesis, too; he said months ago that the U.S. is “woke no longer.” If only. The reality is that wokeness, asserts The Christian Post, “isn’t dead, dying, hospitalized or even hiding.” The Telegraph warns likewise,…

By Selwyn Duke If a person’s five-year-old daughter tells you she’s a unicorn, you may say “Aww, that’s cute.” It’s red-alert time, however, if she’s making the claim at 14. (Believing you’re an animal is a real phenomenon, associated with “species dysphoria.”) It would be even more alarming, too, if her parents boasted about how they…

By Selwyn Duke What are the best indicators that a person will embrace left-wing authoritarianism? An interesting study, related by psychologist Jordan Peterson years ago, found that the best indicator was having low verbal intelligence. Number two was “being female.” None of this would surprise commentator Andrea Widburg. (I don’t think it did surprise her, either, when…

By Selwyn Duke Image created by Grok AI. African radio station RTLM is now infamous for having helped sparked the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Dubbed “Hate Radio,” it would broadcast messages in which the target group, the Tutsis, were regularly characterized as “cockroaches.” Is such mainstreamed rhetoric coming to America? Well, we’re getting closer, as…

By Selwyn Duke If politics is downstream from culture, and it is, we have a lot to worry about. This is frankly because American culture has long been rotting like a 10-day-old avocado in the sun. A good example, appearing in my X notifications yesterday, is a video of a white girl sporting corn-woven hair…

By Selwyn Duke From the Charlie Kirk assassination to the Minneapolis Catholic Church shooting and beyond, Americans today are taken aback by how mindlessly violent society has become. Many, of course, seek to identify the causes, too, with the Democrats blaming guns and the Republicans mental illness. And both these claims do capture headlines. But…

By Selwyn Duke “You cut that out now,” said a man dressed as a woman to commentator Ben Shapiro in 2015, “or you’ll go home in an ambulance.” I think I know how Shapiro felt, too. Years ago, one of that man’s co-ideologists wrote in an internet comment that he wants my “head on a platter.”…

By Selwyn Duke There is a simple, immutable, inescapable, irrefutable rule of life, one we ignore at our own peril. It is this: If you don’t control the culture, the culture will control you. The Charlie Kirk assassination has saddened and shocked millions; it has also inspired reality checks. “How did we get to this…
