  • “Toxic Masculinity” Is a Toxic Fiction; “Stop Blaming Men,” Says Author

    Angry BusinesswomanBy Selwyn Duke

    Overlapping with the “Enlightenment” and a reaction to it, the lesser-known “Romantic Period” (1790-1850, supposedly) stressed not reason but emotionalism and involved the exaltation of women. Over time this spirit metastasized into an attendant demonization of men; thus do we hear today about “toxic masculinity.” But this is essentially a toxic lie, says an author and life coach, pushed by media and other forces that portray men as society’s “bad guys.”

    Lack of Authentic Masculinity

    In fact, says Michael Taylor, male “problems” are actually the result of the man “not being connected to his authentic masculinity.” But while Taylor takes on the spirit of our time, is he, like most moderns, losing sight of the timeless?

  • Study: WHO Data Show Surge in Covid-shot-related Heart Deaths

    Bad DoctorBy Selwyn Duke

    It’s “as serious as a heart attack.”

    In fact, it is a heart attack — or, at least, something related to it. Unfortunately, too many people haven’t taken seriously the issue of Covid-shot-related heart problems, even though evidence of their existence has been mounting for some time.

  • Leftist News Org Urges Biden Campaign to Use AI to Fool Public About Joe’s Senility

    874847_lowBy Selwyn Duke

    “Fool me once, shame on you,” the saying goes; “fool me twice, it’s AI.”

    Okay, that’s not really the saying, but it might be the reality with Joe Biden if his campaign acts on a leftist news organization’s advice:

    Use artificial intelligence (AI) to trick the public into thinking Biden is not exhibiting decrepitude and dementia. This strategy would help neutralize the issue of his serious deterioration “while allowing the Biden campaign to effectively disseminate true information,” the counsel goes.

    In other words, the end justifies the means.

    (Unsaid is that the disseminated information would be largely untrue.)

  • Many Gen Zers Don’t Like America. Is It Surprising?

    Mixed-race StudentsBy Selwyn Duke

    A recent survey found that 40 percent of Generation Z believes our Founding Fathers are more akin to villains than heroes. This stat is just a reflection, too, of a generation that studies show is the least patriotic in American history. In fact, laments one Gen Z (born between 1997 and 2012) member writing at the New York Post, while she’s a “Zoomer” who loves her country, “sometimes it feels like I’m the only one.”

    Young Rikki Schlott isn’t surprised by this reality, stating that her generation has never been taught why they should love their country; in fact, they’ve been taught why they should hate it. From “what I remember of my own US history courses,” she writes, “there was a lot more self-flagellation for our country’s shortcomings than celebration of our strengths.”

  • “Russia Is Bluffing” Could Be a World-ending Miscalculation, Warns Expert

    Nuclear BlastBy Selwyn Duke

    Before going all in and betting the house on a poker hand, in the belief your opponent is bluffing, you’d better hope your judgment is sound. You should know that it’s not warped by self-delusion, by wishful thinking, or projection. You’d also better make sure the cost-benefit analysis justifies the risk, that you’re not betting your house against an illusion.

    Of course, lose the hand and you still live to fight another day. This is not the case with our involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war and our assumption that Vladimir Putin is all talk, no action. And now as we inch closer to nuclear war, a foreign policy analyst becomes one of the latest to warn with regard to Moscow’s red-line threats, “Russia is not bluffing.”

  • Marine Le Pen Challenges CNN on “Far-right” Label

    Back to School DuncecapBy Selwyn Duke

    A jockey will appear a giant in a land of Lilliputians, an ordinary face will be thought beauty in a tribe of beasts — and anything will seem “far right” to CNN. One person who might agree with this, too, after being interviewed on the network, is French politician Marine Le Pen.

    Le Pen, now a figurehead of her country’s National Rally (NR) party, recently pushed back on CNN interviewer Christiane Amanpour after the latter described her party as “far right” and “very scary.” Of course, it’s standard for mainstream media to characterize anyone or anything more “conservative” than itself as “far right.”

  • “Rejoice!” Says Writer, and Celebrate Independence From Chevron Tyranny

    American Eagle-OriginalBy Selwyn Duke

    Would you want to be ruled by a government of unelected Anthony Faucis? It’s a relevant question because, although it’s seldom framed this way, that’s precisely what the “Chevron doctrine” gave us for 40 years. Overturning almost 200 years of precedent — the precedent whereby our elected representatives made law and, if it was ambiguous, people could at least have their day in court and see the matter adjudicated — Chevron transformed the federal bureaucracy into a de facto fourth branch of government. This ever-burgeoning entity’s shadowy, unelected members could by bureaucratic fiat hand down rules micromanaging our lives, and we had no recourse. It was “Go fight City Hall.”

  • Is Jill Biden Lady MacBeth? Ex-husband Says She “Wants to Be President”

    Banana RepublicBy Selwyn Duke

    Some may want to praise Jill Biden for standing by husband Joe after his dementia-affected debate performance last week. But in reality she’s standing on him, say critics — in a quest to maintain her prestige and power.

    And one of these critics is Mrs. Biden’s ex-husband, a man who says that Jill 2.0 is “not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way.”

  • Education Does Broaden One: University Hires “Fatness Studies” Prof

    Fat Black Man with Asian DoctorBy Selwyn Duke

    “Fat liberation” and “representation” used to mean liberating fat from your body so it wouldn’t be overrepresented there anymore and you could fit into last year’s swimsuit. Now it’s the business of a new breed of activists, one of whom was just hired by Pennsylvania State University to teach students about, among other things, “fat representation and liberation.”

  • Vote-fraud-enabling Algorithm Added to New York’s Voter Registration Roll, Says Report

    F9839a29-8c02-4e98-b27c-5d34047ab2d8By Selwyn Duke

    “I think there is a lot of voter fraud.” So said then-NYC election commissioner, Democrat Alan Schulkin, on hidden video in 2016. Much has changed in the Empire State since that time, however:

    Going high tech, it’s now being reported that a vote-fraud-enabling algorithm has been added to NY’s voter registration roll.

    There’s news on the low-tech electoral-fraud front, too: 49 states are giving voter registration forms to migrants without proof of citizenship, we’re told.
