  • Valkyrie: The Real Col. von Stauffenberg

    By Selwyn Duke On a sultry July day in 1944, a man walks into the "Wolf's Lair" carrying a briefcase. He is initiating a bold plot, one that aims to assassinate one of the world's most ruthless and powerful men, Adolf Hitler, and topple the whole of his Nazi government. Integral to this ambitious coup…

  • The Diamond Anniversary of Dehumanization

    By Bruce Walker Seventy-five years ago, on January 1, 1934, one of the most insidious laws in human history came into effect in Nazi Germany.  The innocent sounding name was The Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseased Offspring.   It was the ghastly pinnacle of an unholy theory of human eugenics.  Darwinism – not the…

  • That Thing Called Feminism

    By Selwyn Duke Sometimes the apple does fall far from the tree, and sometimes that's a good thing. You may not know the name Rebecca Walker, but she is a woman who learned, in a very harsh way, the often stark difference between theory and fact. She is the daughter of The Color Purple author…

  • When God is Cast from the Altar

    By Selwyn Duke According to The Sun, Russia has experienced a series of murders, rapes, mutilations, and desecrations linked to Satanists.  No, I did not say Stalinists, although, given how communists will persecute Christians, one could be forgiven for confusing the two.  And a most horrific example of such ritualistic murder has just taken place…

  • Miracle in the Trenches: The WWI Christmas Truce

    By Selwyn Duke The scene was the dreaded “no man’s land” separating dank and dreary trenches during WWI. It was, as the name implies, a forbidding place, one which modern weaponry had transformed into a moonscape on which even stout-hearted warriors feared to tread. The conflict waged there was dubbed “the War to End All…

  • Our Bailout Culture and the Beauty of Bankruptcy

    By Selwyn Duke The story of the Prodigal Son teaches a beautiful lesson about repentance and forgiveness.  As you may know, it involves a lazy, irresponsible young man who insists upon taking his share of the family inheritance immediately and striking out on his own.  He then proceeds to squander it on a dissolute lifestyle…

  • Bailing Out Big Media

    By Selwyn Duke While a guest on a radio show a few weeks back, a caller asked a question about how the media and leftist government establishment were joined at the hip. In response, I mentioned something I had been pondering. With bailouts all the rage in Washington, said I, it wouldn’t surprise me if…

  • Guest Commentary: Draft Ditka

    By Bruce Walker The Illinois State Legislature is going to quickly remove the power of senatorial appointment from its latest disgraced governor.  That means some other politician will fill the seat held by another politician, all of whom are steeped in the corruption that is Illinois politics.  The bipartisan slime includes the oldest and biggest…

  • The Socialist and the Stone

    By Selwyn Duke When I was still within a stone’s throw of ladhood, I had an acquaintance who was essentially a socialist.  I can’t say for sure he proclaimed himself as such — although I believe he did — but that was certainly where his passions lay.  He was a man of about 60 years,…

  • Guest Commentary: Our Foolish Infatuation with Change

    By Bruce Walker Barack Obama won the presidency based upon the theme of change.  We already live in a world of constant change, and we assume too easily that change is good. Politicians, professors, pundits, self-proclaimed champions of the oppressed – those with vested interests in change – repeat the lie that change makes things…
