  • Joe Biden: No Reason to Ban AR-15s

    By Selwyn Duke Okay, half-slow laughin’ Joe didn’t actually say that, but he might as well have. While defending his position a week ago that banning the rifles incorrectly called “assault weapons” won’t negatively impact upon Americans’ safety, he pointed out that you shouldn’t trouble yourself: shotguns would still be available — and they’re more…

  • Ten Piers Morgan Gun Lies, Untruths, and Deceptions

    By Selwyn Duke It’s probably not quite true that gun-control advocate Piers Morgan has been “standing on the graves of the children of Sandy Hook,” as Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro put it. It’s more correct to say that the cheeky Brit has been standing on the graves of the children of Sandy Hook, jumping up…

  • Piers Morgan Takes Aim at the Bible

    By Selwyn Duke You’ve got to hand it to bloviating Brit Piers Morgan. While he got most of the facts wrong in his recent targeting of the Second Amendment, it hasn’t stopped him from moving on to even more formidable targets. Such as the Bible. He says the book is “inherently flawed” — and needs…

  • Revealing Gun-owners Names Reveals Truth

    By Selwyn Duke A birdcage liner in my county of Westchester, NY, The Journal News, has made national headlines by releasing the addresses of county residents licensed to own a handgun. The paper claims that in the wake of the Newtown shooting, citizens want to know more about the arsenals their neighbors may possess. Of…

  • It’s Official: Mayor Bloomberg Needs Mental Help

    By Selwyn Duke Since removing constitutional rights is all the rage now, I have to ask: when does dislocation from reality become severe enough to justify involuntary commitment? A good study case is NYC’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who recently uttered a real gem on his weekly radio show. Writes Politicker.com: “I don’t think there’s anybody…

  • Proof the Left Wants All Guns Outlawed

    By Selwyn Duke It has been said that to identify a liar, look for contradiction, because it’s hard keeping lies straight. It’s no revelation that leftists would like to effect gun confiscation (except for themselves and their bodyguards, of course), but they generally maintain plausible deniability so that the world’s Dirty Harry Reids can convince…

  • Judge: “Choose Life” Out in North Carolina

    By Selwyn Duke Providing another example of why judicial review needs to be reviewed is U.S. District Court Judge James C. Fox, who just ruled that North Carolina may not offer its “Choose Life” license plates. And wait till you hear his reasoning (if you can call it that). Writes MyFox8.com: A federal judge has…

  • Shameless Judges Strike Down Michigan Affirmative-action Ban

    By Selwyn Duke Hundreds of years ago, satirist Jonathan Swift described lawyers as “a society of men … bred up from their youth in the art of proving, by words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black, and black is white….” And evidencing that some things never change is the 6th U.S. Circuit Court…

  • Grand Mufti Emanuel’s Chicago Values

    By Selwyn Duke When Rahm Emanuel ascended to the top of Chicago’s political heap last year, it was thought to have been the result of a citywide election that won him the mayorship.  I had no idea he was appointed the city’s first Grand Mufti. But thus it must be, as Emanuel has spoken definitively…

  • Rahm and Co.’s Chicken-headed Intolerance

    By Selwyn Duke Increasingly in America, the Left is putting up a sign stating, “Christians need not apply.” The latest example is the targeting of fast-food chain Chick-Fil-A by politicians in Chicago and Boston. In case you missed it, the beef with the chicken chain stems from comments its president, Dan Cathy, made about faux…
