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…
I’m Perfect! Almost Half of All Americans, and MANY Christians, Don’t Believe They’re Sinners

September 10, 2025

By Selwyn Duke We don’t know if they fancy they can walk on water. But almost half of all Americans, including a striking number of Christians, don’t believe they’re sinners. It’s a revelation that has implications not just for the church, but for civilization generally.
A Christian Resurgence in the U.S.? To Some “Elites” and Gen Z, Faith Is Now Cool

August 19, 2025

By Selwyn Duke “At least five times” in history, Christianity “has to all appearance gone to the dogs,” G.K. Chesterton observed in 1925. “In each of these five cases it was the dog that died.” Now, just maybe, there is a sixth case. It was in 1882 that the sickly but self-deifying Friedrich Nietzsche announced…
Does the Bible Command Conservatives to Accept Illegal Migration?

July 9, 2025

By Selwyn Duke With the Democrats controlling neither the presidency nor Congress and having largely failed to stop deportations via the courts, they’ve exhausted the political options for advancing their pro-illegal-migration agenda (at least for now). So they’re perhaps left grasping at straws. Enter the religious option. To wit: Many leftists are now citing the…
Christian Revival: Is (Once?) Woke Silicon Valley Coming to Jesus?

March 29, 2025

By Selwyn Duke When it was alleged in 2023 that the message “Jesus died so you could live” was labeled “hate speech” by Facebook, it perhaps was not surprising. Two years later, however, something else surely is. Christian code has entered Silicon Valley, we hear, and may be supplanting its notoriously secular programming. Apparently, man does…
Without God, There is No TRUE Respect for Human Life

March 10, 2025

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…
Most “Mentally Ill” People Are Leftists, Says Writer; “Transgenderism” Is One Example

January 5, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Most “mentally ill” people are on the political left, Harvard professor Arthur Brooks explained last year. In 2016, the American Journal of Political Science reported that liberal political beliefs are linked to psychoticism. A decade earlier, radio legend Dr. Michael Savage released his eyebrow-raising book Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder. But could it really be that there’s an association between…
Population Collapse: Is (Western) Human Extinction Near?

December 30, 2024

By Selwyn Duke Dating back to the Middle Ages, the town of Semestene in Sardinia, Italy, has quite a history — one that could come to an end within a decade. With a population that has dwindled rapidly in recent years, 54 of its 126 residents are aged 65 or over. The town has just four children under…
Exorcist: Yes, Voting for the “Lesser of Two Evils” Is the Moral Thing to Do

August 22, 2024

By Selwyn Duke “If you look for the bad in people, you will surely find it.” This quotation, generally attributed to Abe Lincoln, alludes to a simple truth: Everyone is a sinner — no one is perfect. A corollary of this is that there’s no such thing as a “perfect” candidate (not literally speaking, anyway).…
