  • Segregation Today, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation Forever in Tucson

    By Selwyn Duke Would you hire school teachers and mete out punishment to students based on race? Some obviously would, as this is exactly what’s happening in Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) in Arizona. The district has decided that instead of choosing teachers based on the outdated concept of merit, it will hire teaching staff…

  • Soda Is the New Tobacco

    Ever since Barack Obama floated the idea of a soda tax, oh-so-caring politicians have been lining up to save you from yourself. Ka-ching. First it was tobacco, with Al Gore, who grew the plant but never inhaled, preaching against it. Next it was SUVs, with Arianna Huffington warning that it was unsustainable for the average…

  • Guest Piece: Obama’s Economic Legacy: Success? Or, Failure?

    By Marilyn Barnewall One definition of insanity is continuing to do things the same way but expecting a different result. Understanding that, one must ask the obvious question: Why does the Obama Administration keep doing the things that got the U.S. economy in trouble? It exemplifies one of three things: Insanity, duplicity, or stupidity. I…

  • Nickelodeon Wants School Kids in Changing the System

    Children’s network Nickelodeon is well-known as a purveyor of propaganda, and now it’s participating in a new program that encourages kids to “change the system.” By Selwyn Duke It used to be that the stuff of children’s programming was Wile E. Coyote’s perennial hunt for the Roadrunner and Bugs Bunny playing it cavalier with the…

  • Guest Piece: Why Obama Could Not Stage a Coup

    By Bruce Walker Some conservatives have begun to openly wonder if Obama is going to seize power in America.  Would he want to do this?  Perhaps so (which is a scary.)  No one dreamed that Carter, the worst president of the last century, wanted or planned to seize power.  Clinton wanted to win power, but…

  • Soap Opera Actress Fired in Name of Homosexual Agenda

    What happens when there's a clash between holy motivations and homosexual machinations in Hollywood? By Selwyn Duke If a recent allegation made against the ABC producers of "One Life to Live" is any indication, they could use some soap to clean up their agenda. Show regular Patricia Mauceri claims she was fired from the program…

  • Back to School with Obama: Educational Talking Points 101

    By Selwyn Duke At high noon today, EDT, Barack Obama issued a challenge to America’s schoolchildren. In his much anticipated back-to-school speech, he appealed to students to stay in school, work hard, set goals, and not use personal crosses as an excuse to fail. It was, by and large, a message so positive that critics…

  • Obama’s Speech to the Children of America

    By Selwyn Duke Whether or not President Barack Obama’s September 8 back-to-school speech will be “historic” as his Department of Education (DOE) states, it certainly is headline grabbing. His talk is currently the talk of the nation, but thus far the only historic aspect of it is the opposition it has inspired. People are divided…

  • University Perversity: America Taking the Stupid Pill

    The only thing worse than what college students are not learning is what they are learning. By Selwyn Duke It is said that our educators are preparing the young for the future, and this may very well be true. That is, if the movie Idiocracy — which portrays a dystopian future America in which sheer…

  • United Nations Plan: Teach Masturbation to 5-Year-Olds

    By Selwyn Duke A while back we heard about the United Nations pact that would prohibit parents from choosing their children’s religion. Now the UN is issuing another dystopian proposal, a sex-education curriculum that would teach children as young as five about masturbation and “gender roles, stereotypes and gender-based violence.” And those are just two…
