Save NYC Housing by Destroying It? That’s Mamdani’s Socialist Plan

December 30, 2025

By Selwyn Duke If you’ve watched the 1990 film Goodfellas, you may remember the segment where mob boss Paulie becomes a partner in a restaurant, then purposely bankrupts the place and torches it to collect insurance money. But the true story is far darker still. In reality, Paulie surreptitiously orchestrated the restaurateur’s difficulties in the first…
University Writing Center Rejected Proper English, Calling It “Linguistic White Supremacy”

December 26, 2025

By Selwyn Duke There was a time when being a white supremacist meant something (for starters, that you were one in a million). Today, though, it appears that anyone can be a white supremacist. Why, all journalist Larry Elder had to do to become “the black face of white supremacy” was seek California’s governorship. And…
Pandering to Illegal Aliens, Police Chief Plays the “Joseph, Mary, and Jesus Were Refugees” Card

December 23, 2025

‘Tis the season to…use the Christmas story for political gain? We’ve heard the line repeatedly. Somehow, we’re not supposed to secure our borders in 2025 and deport invaders because 2,000 years ago the Holy Family were “refugees.” Just today, for example, Newspeak Newsweek wrote that “it’s worth remembering that Jesus began life as a refugee.” (And, apparently then, it’s worth…
Aspiring Hollywood Writer Rejected for Being White — but Still Doesn’t Blame Leftists

December 20, 2025

By Selwyn Duke There’s a storm brewing, quite understandably, among millennial and Gen Z white men. Denied jobs over their race, they’re looking for remedy and reparation. Given this, it’s not surprising that a long essay documenting the problem with stories and stats has gained much traction. Appearing at the website Compact on Monday and…
Does the West Lack That Prerequisite for Survival: A Reason to Get Up in the Morning?

December 19, 2025

By Selwyn Duke “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose,” noted Austrian psychiatrist/philosopher Viktor Frankl. Much has been written about the need for meaning, in recent years especially. Without it, a person can descend into a morass of addiction, degradation, and self-destruction. The same, however, is true…
Just in Time for the Holidays: Islamic Terrorism Under the Tree (and Next to the Menorah)

December 18, 2025

By Selwyn Duke It’s becoming a new Christmastime tradition: Islamic jihadist attacks on non-Muslim celebrations. We all now know of Bondi Beach, Australia, after two jihadists murdered 15 Hanukkah celebration attendees there on Sunday. The perps, father-son duo Sajid Akram, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24, were reportedly inspired by the Islamic State. (Apparently, dad and…
“Kill Babies, Superman”? New CHILDREN’S Book Calls Abortion a “Superpower”

December 16, 2025

By Selwyn Duke “We’re not pro-abortion; we want it to be safe, legal — and rare.” That’s what the Left used to say, anyway. But that’s really now, well, so 2007. Since then, we heard Barack Obama campaigning in 2008 and talking about how, if his daughters “make a mistake,” they shouldn’t be “punished with a baby.”…
Affordability Crisis? Perspective and Propaganda

December 13, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Some politics wonks may remember 2010’s JournoList scandal. It was revealed that hundreds of left-wing journalists, academics, and political activists had been colluding via a private online gathering place and coordinating strategies and talking points. In other words, the “independent” media people certainly weren’t independent of each other; they were operating as…
Man Who Said Men and Women Have Different Skeletons Jailed for Hate Speech

December 12, 2025

By Selwyn Duke When they found Ötzi, the Copper Age European whose remains were discovered in the Alps a few decades back, they nicknamed him The Iceman because they absolutely could identify him as having been a man. But maybe the forensic anthropologists making such determinations should be put in the pokey. That is, if…
Citizenship Clause Surreality: The Clause’s OWN Author Said it Doesn’t Include Aliens

December 11, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Early in my commentary career, I found myself debating the meaning of one of my articles in an online chat with a woman who’d read the piece. Why the argument? Well, I was mischievous, I’ll confess, and, having a little fun, didn’t tell her I was the author. Towards our interaction’s conclusion…
