By Selwyn Duke Could you imagine telling your kids that you weren’t going to have money for home security, their schoolbooks, or grandma’s meals because you want to support some squatters who invaded your property? This is analogous to what’s now happening in New York City, where left-wing Mayor Eric Adams has announced budget cuts…

By Selwyn Duke We probably wouldn’t be surprised if we learned that making women believe femininity was bad harmed their mental health. Ditto for convincing children that having a childlike nature is bad. So perhaps it’s also no shock that, according to a recent study, convincing men masculinity is a negative force damages their psyches.…

By Selwyn Duke It’s called the breakdown of civil society. It’s also called something else: Having good people subsidize thieving miscreants through higher costs of goods and services. Call it the Lowlife Tax. Or the Irresponsibility Tax. Or, perhaps even more fittingly, the Electing the Wrong Politicians Tax. (Winner, winner, chicken dinner?) The latest example…

By Selwyn Duke Jesse Ventura, who had the nickname “the body” during his professional wrestling days and wanted to be known as “the mind” when he was Minnesota governor, perhaps now should have the moniker “the green-eyed.” Some may thus conclude after the 72-year-old said that “nobody works hard enough to earn a billion dollars”…

By Selwyn Duke When visiting certain places, you’re only allowed to witness what the authorities want you to see. One of these places is North Korea. Another is San Francisco — that is, if the visitor happens to be Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. After all, the City by the Bay — known in recent times…

By Selwyn Duke In one old Get Smart episode, agent Maxwell Smart is being evaluated by a psychiatrist who’s administering a Rorschach test. After Smart proceeds to interpret every nondescript inkblot as people or animals engaging in sexual congress, the shrink exclaims in a stereotypical heavy German accent, “Mr. Shmaht, you zeem to be obzessed vith zex!” Smart’s defensive…

By Selwyn Duke After the spawning of Black Lives Matter, anti-white hate crimes surged. You wouldn’t know it from mainstream media reportage, though, a good example of which is the coverage of a recent heinous incident in Las Vegas. For while a 17-year-old white boy was beaten to death by approximately 15 black teens, the media…

By Selwyn Duke As with George Washington before him, new House Speaker Mike Johnson could be seen not long ago on bended knee, in his case on the House floor, praying for divine guidance. It reflects a dedication to and openness about his faith that has attracted much, and varied, attention. The New York Times wrote late last month that…

By Selwyn Duke Britain, the once-proud land that made “knife control” a thing and seized children from parents for a lack of fork control (the kids were fat), is at it again. This time, King Charles III has confirmed, the plan is to prohibit anyone born in 2009 or later from ever buying tobacco. Don’t…

By Selwyn Duke What would you say about a man who left his home’s back door open all night while going off to be a community watchman in other neighborhoods, but then nonetheless claimed he was being vigilant about his family’s safety? Perhaps it’s the same thing you’d say about National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.…
