By Selwyn Duke It’s not hard to understand why Caitlin Clark, the record-setting white ex-NCAA women’s basketball standout, is enjoying attention and endorsements like no WNBA player before her. And, no, it’s not because of (mythical) “white privilege.”

By Selwyn Duke Beauty and the beast…. We invariably know which is which. But should we be able to? And if we will always be capable of discerning the difference (hard to imagine otherwise), will we ever value ugliness as much as beauty? Some activists apparently want us to. Yet just as with the fat-liberation movement and…

By Selwyn Duke It’s that old chasm between the pseudo-elite and the street. More than three-quarters of Americans believe that crime has gotten worse in recent times, according to a November 2023 Gallup poll. In contrast, mainstream media and other pseudo-elites tell us that crime is down, citing FBI statistics to make their case. But here’s…

By Selwyn Duke “The fundamental basis of this Nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount,” said a famed American figure. “The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.” Which evangelist said the above?

Examples would be if the media routinely called pro-gun-control people “anti-freedom” or pro-abortion individuals “pro-death.” Mainstream journalists don’t do that, of course — but they do use…

By Selwyn Duke First we had Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg talking about “racist roads.” Then we had the city of Oakland, California, remove traffic lights because public officials were unwilling to stop thieves from stealing copper from them. Now there’s yet another indication of what many consider our descent into idiocracy and social decay:…

By Selwyn Duke Caitlin Clark would assuredly just like to play basketball. Unfortunately for the WNBA standout, however, focus on the game has been subordinated to racial games in an America in which everything is now about identity politics. Because of this, some may say the WNBA is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.…

By Selwyn Duke Projection is a fascinating phenomenon. Certain people, ascribing to others the darkness pervading their own souls, are just certain that everyone is hiding skeletons and some secret life — it just has to be uncovered, is all. So perhaps the disappointment was profound when, after a hacker stole then-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s…

By Selwyn Duke If “American exceptionalism” now means leading the world in providing comic relief, then we’ve just increased our lead. This is perhaps indisputable with news of a grossly obese Alabama pageant winner and a man — yes, a man — being crowned Miss Maryland.
