  • Rape and the Attack of the “Man-hating Media”

    By Selwyn Duke “History is a series of agreed-upon myths,” Napoleon Bonaparte observed cynically. Now some critics are saying that, today, current events are also a series of agreed-upon myths. “No matter what Jackie said, we should automatically believe rape claims.” This was opined by a more contemporary figure, being the recent title of a…

  • Obama Advisor Jonathan Gruber: Abortion Saves Government Money

    By Selwyn Duke ObamaCare conspirator Jonathan Gruber has gotten 15 minutes of fame by being America’s most cheeky liar of the moment. Now he’s getting bonus minutes for being, critics say, a cost-benefit-analysis abortionist — and, perhaps, an advocate for euthanasia. At issue is a 1997 research paper Gruber co-authored entitled “Abortion Legalization and Child…

  • E-mails Reveal Obama’s Morality Police Are Targeting Lawful Businesses

    By Selwyn Duke It’s an example, in essence, of legislating from the bureaucratic cubicle. A House committee has discovered e-mails showing that officials at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation schemed to destroy lawful businesses they found morally objectionable. The vehicle through which this is done is Operation Choke Point; this is an Obama administration effort…

  • When Liberal Preferences Meet Islamic Principles

    By Selwyn Duke There was a recent scandal that, as much as anything else, illustrates the intellectual emptiness and moral ennui of the modern liberal man. It occurred in Britain but reflects a wider phenomenon; what can be said about it can be said about happenings in Sweden, France, Holland, Canada or Belgium — or…

  • Racial Double Standard in the Eric Garner Affair

    By Selwyn Duke There is a racial double standard in the Eric Garner affair — one hardly anyone is talking about. The July 17 New York City arrest incident after which the 400-pound Garner died, and which has sparked protests around the nation, was reportedly supervised by a black female commanding officer, Sergeant Kizzy Adoni.…

  • Lena Dunham, UVA, and False Rape Accusations

    By Selwyn Duke     Rape is a horrific crime. A false accusation of rape is also a horrific crime. Both can alter your life, tragically — and perhaps forever. Rape has also figured prominently in the news recently, the big story being embattled comedian Bill Cosby, who has found himself accused of the crime by multiple…

  • When CPS Kidnaps Children for Money

    By Selwyn Duke “If I have it my way, you’ll never see your mommy and daddy again.” These cruel words were reportedly uttered to eight-year-old Jaxon Adams by a Missouri doctor working closely with Child Protective Services. While we don’t know if this statement will prove prophetic, the fact is that some children will never see…

  • Home-birthed Children Seized After Parents Refuse to Use Hospital

    By Selwyn Duke It perhaps was your grandparents’ birthing experience. But this certainly isn’t your grandparents’ government. A Washington state couple has had their children seized by Child Protective Services, allegedly because they refused to take them to a hospital for a check-up and treat their older child with steroids — for eczema. Cleave and…

  • Democrat Politician: “Vote Twice” — Democrat D.A. “Won’t Prosecute You”

    By Selwyn Duke “If you early voted, go vote again tomorrow. One more time’s not going to hurt.” So said Opelousas, Louisiana, mayor Don Cravins, Sr. (shown) in a video now making the rounds. In the footage, shot November 3 at a private event, the Democrat politician can also be heard reassuring the audience he…

  • CNN Flat-out Lies: Calls Ferguson Rioters “Peaceful”

    By Selwyn Duke Mocking critics have long said the CNN acronym stands for “Communist News Network.” Now they may feel vindicated. In a shocking display of reportage that many observers would characterize as journalistic fraud, the network has been whitewashing Ferguson protester violence. In fact, one New York Post writer minces no words when describing…
