  • Writer Asks: Why Is Today’s Democratic Party So “Heartless”?

    By Selwyn Duke Not long ago I met a very impressive and unusual 20-year-old man. Having already imbibed great literary works and philosophical material as most of his age-mates do social-media dross, he is what the average 50-year-old philosophy professor would be if he actually, well, understood philosophy (i.e., that it is “a search for…

  • Glenn Beck Warns: Islamist Ideology Is a Clear and Present Danger

    By Selwyn Duke Here’s a good question: What’s the point in sending the military to the Mideast to defend the West while also bringing the Mideast to the West? One man who may nod approvingly at this question is commentator Glenn Beck. After all, in 1999 he predicted blood in Manhattan’s streets within 10 years…

  • Left-wing Activists Live It Up in Havana and Support Commies While Cuban People Suffer

    By Selwyn Duke Some used to call them “limousine liberals.” Late Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov might have branded them “useful idiots.” Now perhaps they can be dubbed Five-star Faustians. Hundreds of left-wing activists from the United States, Latin America, and Europe traveled to Havana, Cuba, last Wednesday and over the weekend to, as they put…

  • Yes, We Can, Brandon Johnson — Jail Our Way to a Safe Country

    By Selwyn Duke “We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence,” stated Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson recently. Actually, we can. So might say a retired police detective who has witnessed the phenomenon firsthand. And, no, this doesn’t require locking up 15 million Americans. All that’s necessary, says Mike McDaniel, that ex-cop-turned commentator, is delivering a…

  • Failing Calif. School District Spends $610K for Black Kids to Learn Rap

    By Selwyn Duke The Merced City School District isn’t exactly killing it — unless, that is, what it’s killing are its students’ academic fortunes. Only about 22 percent of its pupils are proficient at math, just 35 percent at reading. Black kids in the majority Hispanic California district are doing considerably worse still, too. So…

  • Ask the Experts — and Get Guided Toward Destruction?

    By Selwyn Duke Vaccinated people “do not carry the virus, [and] don’t get sick” said then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky in 2021. She also implied that they couldn’t transmit Covid. The CDC had to walk her “expert” claims back mere days later. As we now know, “vaccinated” people could contract and spread the virus. Of course, you could…

  • Want to Be “More Like Europe,” Dems? Institute Voter ID

    By Selwyn Duke For years we’ve heard from a certain population segment and ideological set that we should, essentially, be “more like Europe.” We should have Europe’s nationalized healthcare. We should have Europe’s gun-control laws. We should have Europe’s taxation. We should have Europe’s environmental regulations. But the one way in which we could be…

  • James Talarico: Charismatic Leftist RADICAL Leads GOP in Texas

    By Selwyn Duke Will Texas have its own Zohran Mamdani or AOC in the Senate in less than a year? It’s possible — if early polls are any guide. Whatever the case, the man in question, Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, is the Mamdani west of the Pecos. He’s young, attractive, has an easy smile, and is…

  • The Lord Voldemort of Terror Threats Must Be Named

    By Selwyn Duke A huge study out of Germany, released in 2010 but now mostly forgotten, provided a serious point to ponder. After researching 45,000 youths, it found that with increasing religiosity Christian young people became less violent. But Muslim youths became, with increasing religiosity, more violent. My, even a relativist could get the nagging and nauseating…

  • Britain’s Cultural Kowtowing to Alien Transplants Is Truly Extraordinary

    By Selwyn Duke Tradition is, noted philosopher G.K. Chesterton, “democracy extended through time.” It also is something else: under assault in the West. And Britain, in particular, is going nuclear on its time-honored and -dictated traditions. In fact, it seems every week there’s another story about how the U.K. is trashing its culture. This is,…
