By Selwyn Duke Hey, isn’t creating sacrilegious images brave? That’s what we heard years ago when at issue was “art” such as a crucifix immersed in a glass of urine or a Virgin Mary picture smeared with feces. But that wasn’t quite the response to pundit Pamela Geller’s Mohammed cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, was…

By Selwyn Duke Did you hear about the white cops indicted in Freddie Gray’s death? You likely did. Did my opening question cause you to take exception? It likely didn’t — but it should have. Because half the officers (shown) charged in Baltimore drug dealer Freddie Gray’s April 12 death are black. Yet in a…

By Selwyn Duke “Black Lives matter” they say — but perhaps not to Freddie Gray. Gray’s April 12 death while in Baltimore police custody has sparked protests and been used as an excuse for rioting. Of course, it’s still not entirely clear what caused the criminal’s demise. A police report has been issued indicating that…

Nor is it sufficient that our immigration regime has, since 1965, ensured that 85 percent of our immigrants would come from the Third World and Asia, bringing us people who vote overwhelmingly Democrat…

By Selwyn Duke The feds may soon be coming to a police force near you. And if you live in New York City, they’re already present, trying to foist politically correct standards on Big Apple law enforcement. The proposed central-government guidelines — which a court-appointed federal “monitor” overseeing their implementation claims were made with the…

By Selwyn Duke We’ve heard much recently about the Muslim-run child sex-trafficking rings that have plagued Britain and that, for most of the last 15 years, had been covered up by the nation’s authorities. But it appears U.K. officials are old hands at protecting pedophiles, as a shocking story about powerful child molesters embedded deep…

By Selwyn Duke “A gun store opened in Manhattan….” It sounds like the beginning of a story — or a tale. And the effort essentially was fiction. Critics would say its message was fiction, too. As the salesman behind the counter showed one couple a firearm, he said to the husband, “It’s the easiest gun…
