  • By Selwyn Duke It was decades ago that I warned against using the term “African-American.” It was three years ago that legendary black singer Smokey Robinson said, passionately, “I resent being called an African-American — I really do.” Now a black Ivy League linguistics professor is echoing this sentiment. Saying the term is “awkward,” he’s touting the…

  • Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke It wasn’t long after legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan’s passing that we heard the condemnations. Don’t honor him, the nattering ne’er-do-wells insisted—he was a stone cold “racist.” When evaluating this, too, I want you to consider the following quite telling and damning line: “A black man should be…

  • By Selwyn Duke Some black Americans, we hear, are moving back to the land of those who sold their ancestors into slavery. That’s one way of putting it, anyway. But as is said, home is where the heart is. The heart is often happier, too, when your formerly upper-middle-class self can now live like a…

  • By Selwyn Duke A motley crew of media and others, from Politifact to the CATO Institute, have claimed that illegal aliens have a lower crime rate than native-born Americans do. In a recent interview, prodigal presidential son Hunter Biden went even further. He claimed that white males are 45 times as likely to commit violent…

  • By Selwyn Duke Facing severe manpower shortages in WWII’s waning months, Nazi Germany conscripted adolescent boys, some as young as 12, into military service. This was a sign of desperation, of course, one that ended well for neither kids nor country. And we see another attempt to recruit the young for something they’re ill prepared…

  • Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke Apart from Sandy Cortez (aka “AOC,” D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) party now claims 200-plus elected officials nationwide. This is why what’s part of the DSA’s platform is notable.

  • By Selwyn Duke When the Māori conquered the Moriori in the South Pacific in the mid-19th century, they proceeded to kill most of the fighting-age men and boys. The process, known as “androcide,” has occurred numerous times in history. The idea: Neuter a society by eliminating masculinity — in this case, by eliminating the masculine…

  • By Selwyn Duke “What embitters the world is not excess of criticism,” noted philosopher G.K. Chesterton, “but an absence of self-criticism.” This could come to mind with a recent Wall Street Journal piece titled “Gen Z, the Useful Idiot Generation.” Oh, it’s not that the authors are wrong about how “leftism” greatly infects this relatively young…

  • By Selwyn Duke Imagine, as a thought exercise, that a prominent man said the following, explaining why he was purposely raising kids without a mother. Do you know how f****** great it is to live exactly how I want to live, to experience fatherhood exactly how I wanted to experience it? And I know the next thing they say…

  • By Selwyn Duke With the Democrats controlling neither the presidency nor Congress and having largely failed to stop deportations via the courts, they’ve exhausted the political options for advancing their pro-illegal-migration agenda (at least for now). So they’re perhaps left grasping at straws. Enter the religious option. To wit: Many leftists are now citing the…
