By Selwyn Duke Have we descended into the “inhumanity of a hive or a heathen city,” as G.K. Chesterton wrote in 1926, where we’re starting to accept the proposition “‘Actions are only wrong if they are bad for society’”? Many would say this is the case, with British scientists having been granted permission to genetically…

By Selwyn Duke Shoot your daughter and save your "honor" — and win your neighbors' respect in the process. In a recent piece I pointed out a stark difference between Western and Islamic cultures: Dr. [Nicolai] Sennels is a Danish psychologist who for years worked in prison with Muslim youth. Among other things, he points…

  By Selwyn Duke Perhaps she’s that rare woman not offended by being called catty. Going by the name “Nano,” she’s a young Norwegian lady who claims she wasn’t born in the right body. No, she doesn’t think she’s a man, but believes she’s of “the wrong species” and is really a feline. Read the…

By Selwyn Duke Perhaps it was a first: a man winning a debate by not showing up. That’s my take, anyway, that Donald Trump prevailed at Thursday night’s GOP debate. Although, something curious did happen after the event that gives me pause for thought, but more on that later. The debate served to draw a…

By Selwyn Duke Is Christianity now a crime? Is teaching of sin now a sin itself? Some would say this is the case in Norway, where a couple has had their five children seized by the government based on charges of, their lawyer reports, “Christian radicalization and indoctrination.” Marius and Ruth Bodnariu’s problems began late…

By Selwyn Duke The Devil entered American homes Monday night, at least in a sense. Oh, it wasn’t the first time, but usually it’s not so explicit. For Monday saw the premiere of Lucifer, the new Fox network series that makes Satan the main character. And this is no Devil with a pitchfork and horns…

By Selwyn Duke Ever since Donald Trump’s rise to 2016-contender prominence, the rap on him, and perhaps part of his broad appeal, has been that he’s not a conservative. And he’s not — he’s a nationalistic populist. Yet there’s another way to understand The Donald’s professed politics: as that of the first prominent “European-conservative” American…

By Selwyn Duke Once again, a cynic might say that “no good deed goes unpunished.” Much of America was aghast at last year’s Planned Parenthood videos apparently showing the pro-pre-natal infanticide group coldly and cavalierly trafficking in babies’ body parts. And now indictments have been issued in the case — against the people who exposed…

By Selwyn Duke In today’s world, you could say that cries of “racism” are the last refuge of a scoundrel — and the first, too. One man who might agree is Gerald Molen, the Oscar-winning producer who gave usSchindler’s List. Reacting to the current brouhaha over this year’s Oscars featuring only white nominees, Molen called…

By Selwyn Duke The presidency had LBJ — now meet LBG. That’s another presidential aspirant, known to this writer as Little Big Gulp. You probably know him as ex-mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg. Little Big Gulp is a very small man with a very big wallet and an even bigger ego, but who…
