  • By Selwyn Duke Napoleon Bonaparte once said that “history is a series of agreed-upon myths.” Famed documentarian Ken Burns may agree, too, to the point where he has reportedly become one of the myth makers. At issue is a new six-part, 12-hour-long series titled The American Revolution (TAR) which, say critics, strays into anti-American fiction. It’s apparently…

  • By Selwyn Duke It was in 2015 that Muslim refugee Dr. Mudar Zahran warned of the “soft Islamic conquest of the West.” Zahran was referring to the wave migration affecting Europe, which ultimately saw millions more Muslims enter the Continent. Now, a decade later, an ex-Muslim sounds the same alarm here in America. In fact,…

  • By Selwyn Duke Et tu, Mayberry? Just recently I took a couple of friends to visit old hinterland haunts in upstate N.Y., places I used to visit on vacation or when house sitting. At issue are one-horse towns in rural Delaware County, which went for President Trump in last year’s election by almost 60 percent.…

  • By Selwyn Duke Word has it that the Democrats, divided between their progressive and “moderate” (read: only somewhat radical) wings and tired of having extremism lose them elections, are making changes designed to deliver 2026 and ’28 victory. Oh, it’s not a Road to Damascus moment, but a “Road to Just Ask Us” moment. That is, they’re…

  • By Selwyn Duke It was in 2005 that I wrote about the “dehumanizing of men.” A half-decade earlier, the book The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers was published. Yet the anti-male spirit of the age marched on, and now the consequences are painfully apparent. In fact and in a way, young men today are going…

  • By Selwyn Duke Meet Piri Katz, a strong supporter of a man whom she, at 98, can call “kid.” That man would be President Donald Trump. Katz may, too, have some choice words for those who’d impugn Trump as a “Nazi,” “Hitler,” or even just “authoritarian.” You see, Piri actually lived, and suffered, under Nazi…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Granting asylum to the persecuted is legitimate,” said a French politician recently. But “our uncontrolled immigration policy now leads us to welcome their executioners [too].” Unfortunately for a man named Ashur Sarnaya, a 45-year-old Assyrian Christian, he became a case in point. He and his family managed to escape Islamic State jihadist…

  • By Selwyn Duke Meet Hannah Shvets, a 20-year-old Cornell University sophomore and one of the newest members of New York’s Ithaca Common Council. Shvets is also a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). She additionally has membership in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), as does New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, whom she…

  • By Selwyn Duke When dressing as a woman in the war-based sitcom M.A.S.H., character Corporal Klinger’s goal was expulsion from the military. It was taken as given back then (1970s), after all, that a man with such a compulsion had psychological issues. But times have changed. Now you may be punished if you take issue with…

  • By Selwyn Duke Here’s a question: What percentage of all the people who’ve ever lived on Earth is the average American richer than? Answer: 99.9 percent. We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity, yet many people are still dissatisfied. They feel as if they’ve been denied some birthright, some societal bequeathment. And, recent survey data have…
