  • By Selwyn Duke The flyer in the girl’s backpack urged people to join a protest “against the unjust systems that allow police officers to kill Black men and boys with impunity.” The girl is seven years old. Her name is Alana, and she was part of a group of 20-plus second-graders from the Alma Del…

  • By Selwyn Duke The physician once said that in his native India “doctors are considered as God.” But some might say Dr. Nareshkumar Patel (shown) is more akin to the Devil. And now the sign on his little hell-on-Earth reads “Clinic Closed” after the Oklahoma abortionist was arrested shortly before 8:00 a.m., Tuesday, December 9,…

  • 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…

  • 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.
