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…

Image created by Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke There was a book, published in 1989, that contained a very interesting call to arms. There must be a desensitization of Americans to homosexuality via a “continuous flood of gay-related advertising,” the authors insisted. This requires, they added, a “conversion of the average American’s emotions, mind, and…

By Selwyn Duke During a 2012 radio discussion, black economics professors Walter E. Williams and Thomas Sowell warned that the KKK couldn’t do as much to sabotage blacks as their “friends” could. Of course, the term “friends” was being used very loosely. At issue, in reality, were the wolves in sheep’s clothing who purport to be blacks’…

By Selwyn Duke “At least five times” in history, Christianity “has to all appearance gone to the dogs,” G.K. Chesterton observed in 1925. “In each of these five cases it was the dog that died.” Now, just maybe, there is a sixth case. It was in 1882 that the sickly but self-deifying Friedrich Nietzsche announced…

By Selwyn Duke You probably wouldn’t, while a guest at someone’s home, want your child acting rudely and badmouthing the person. You also likely wouldn’t move to another country, someone else’s national home, and want your kid agitating against it. But in America, in 2025, we’re “strengthened” by people such as Jamie Han, who describes…

By Selwyn Duke If you favor same-sex “marriage,” “by all means celebrate today’s decision,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts in his Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) dissent. “But do not celebrate the Constitution,” he continued. “It had nothing to do with it.” The Constitution may, though, have everything to do with the reversing of Obergefell. That is, if a…

Image credit: Amazon.com By Selwyn Duke It’s ironic, but the same people who often don’t even know what boys and girls are may seem to be cocksure about what should be canceled. Then again, awash in their characteristic relativism, some of them aren’t even sure about that. Consider one Charlotte Gordon, “distinguished professor of humanities”…

By Selwyn Duke Here’s a striking statistic: A third of all Washington, D.C., district judges (known for anti-Trump rulings) are foreign-born. Does this matter? It certainly may if they’re anything like hard-left representative Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.). She said in Spanish at a recent Mexico City summit, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Then…
