By Selwyn Duke “I learned long ago the difference between critics and box office.” So said late President Ronald Reagan, referencing what his experience as a Hollywood actor taught him. Box office is what matters whether you’re selling films, politicians, or anything else. And perhaps illustrating this reality perfectly is the much discussed “un-woke” Sydney…

By Selwyn Duke There’s a political revolution bubbling in what once was the motherland. The Reform UK party, founded just seven years ago as the “Brexit Party,” may now be poised to win power in Britain’s next election. How significant the party’s rise is cannot be overstated. A poll earlier this year showed Reform leading…

By Selwyn Duke With the alphabet networks’ viewership down to 19 percent of the market — they controlled more than 90 percent in the mid-’70s — it’s safe saying the once-mainstream media aren’t exactly smokin’. The same is true of mainstream newspapers, and a recent USA Today article about smoking may illustrate why. The headline, above a…

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.

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…
