By Selwyn Duke “Lord, what fools these mortals be!” This remark, made by the mischievous sprite Puck in William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was directed at the absurdity of man’s love affairs. And while such folly is timeless, the comment is also relevant to a rather odd love affair perhaps unique to our time.…

By Selwyn Duke “It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool,” goes the amusing saying, “than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” Despite this well known warning, there nonetheless is a show that specializes in removing such doubt—it’s called The View. A case in point is a recent episode in which co-host…

By Selwyn Duke “Woke is dead,” declared the New York Post December 30. And, my, that would’ve been a fine Christmas present. Unfortunately, while an election changes who’s at the USS Government’s helm, as with all large ships, it can take ages to turn about. (Hence the Titanic’s inability to avoid the iceberg.) What’s more, that’s just the ship…

By Selwyn Duke White students can be suspended and expelled from school at higher rates than Asian-descent students, and they are. Yet no one calls it discriminatory; in fact, almost nobody even mentions it. Boys can be suspended and expelled from school at higher rates than girls, and they are. Yet no one calls it…

By Selwyn Duke Conservative partisans online will sometimes, waxing pejorative, call our major liberal political party the “Demoncrats.” Many would assume they’re just speaking loosely, too. Yet Senator Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Independent who caucuses with the Democrats, has now given the critics more ammunition to make their case. That is, on Friday, Sanders held…

By Selwyn Duke Since my title is bound to inspire criticism that I’m a “God botherer,” I’ll preface what follows by stating that I wasn’t always the halo-adorned, floating-in-the-ether desert mystic (without the sand or heat) you behold today. I wasn’t raised with faith, and as a 12-year-old was an agnostic who’d say, “I’d never…

By Selwyn Duke In the United States, DEI has received pushback, and many hope DEI will DIE. In Britain, though, the phenomenon may be alive and well and poised to intensify what’s already a two-tiered justice system. A case in point is new sentencing guidelines that would give Muslims and other “minorities” shorter sentences than…

By Selwyn Duke People trying to find common ground between groups sometimes may say, “We’re more alike than we’re different.” Yet this may not be true of Republicans and Democrats — especially not today. Oh, sure, we all have the same tolerances for heat and cold, require oxygen, have survival needs, and are mortal. We…

By Selwyn Duke Do you know that, based on court rulings, members of so-called privileged groups who claim employment bias must meet a higher bar than “minorities”? Ironically, of course, this means that the latter are privileged by law. It’s a standard akin to the notion that “only whites can be ‘racist.’” But now, one woman’s…

By Selwyn Duke It used to be said that the Democrats were the “party of the common man.” Now they’re the party of the uncommon man. Very uncommon. If you want men in women’s sports, criminal aliens not deported, a 24/7 fixation on race, or a stance in favor of government waste, the Democrats have…
