  • Woman Faces Jail Time for Planting Vegetables on Own Property

    By Selwyn Duke Vegetable gardens may be popping on abandoned land in Detroit, Michigan, but nearby Oak Park apparently likes broccoli as much as does George H.W. Bush. At least, that is, when it’s growing in a homeowner’s front yard. Resident Julie Bass is learning this the hard way. After Bass’s lawn was torn up…

  • Cowardly British Cops Cover Up Muslim Crime

    By Selwyn Duke Much like a caterpillar, the West grows more self-destructive with age.  And the moth it has become cannot resist being drawn toward the flame of liberalism.  This results in continual forays into the heat of cultural indifference, and a recent example is the British police’s refusal to pursue Muslim criminals for fear…

  • Russia: “Morally Corrupt to the Core”

    By Selwyn Duke When Nevada Senate contender Sharron Angle led incumbent Harry Reid by three points in polls but lost by six on Election Day 2010, it raised some eyebrows. Yet that is nothing compared to the Russian region of Tambov, where Vladimir Putin’s party, United Russia (UR), polled at 35 percent in April but…

  • Politically Correct Washington Supreme Court Overturns Murder Conviction

    By Selwyn Duke In 2007, Kevin L. Monday Jr. was convicted for the murder of Francisco Green and received 64 years in prison.  The incident ad been caught on a 3-minute video recording shot by a street performer, and the footage clearly showed Monday coolly and calculatingly firing 11 shots at Green on a crowded…

  • Here Comes Peter Cottontail Hopping Down the Statist Trail: Feds Fine Missouri Farmer $90,000

      By Selwyn Duke The definition of “totalitarian” is: “of or pertaining to a centralized government that does not tolerate parties of differing opinion and that exercises dictatorial control over many aspects of life. [Emphasis added.]” And while we’re not quite there yet — we still do hear other (mostly stupid) opinions — read the following…

  • He May be a Dog, but Weiner Will be a Winner in 2012

    By Selwyn Duke New York Congressman Anthony Weiner’s sexual impropriety sure does make titillating copy. I mean, take his zipper-like stature, the nature of his transgressions, and combine that with his name, and you have the perfect running joke. And we can add to this a touch of irony. The following is still found on…

  • Up from Mexico Way: A Lawsuit Against U.S. Gun Manufacturers

    By Selwyn Duke In the early days it was Pancho Villa, then it was undocumented Democrats and drug runners, and now we have the latest incursion across our southern border: The Mexican government is poised to file a lawsuit against our domestic firearms manufacturers over U.S.-made guns that are finding their way into Mexico. Writes…

  • Yes, Violence Can be the Answer

    By Selwyn Duke It was the body slam heard around the world.  When some Australian schoolboys decided to videotape themselves bullying 15-year old Casey Heynes, one of them got more than he bargained for.  Casey, who had been pushed around and humiliated for years, responded to a punch in his face and other attempted blows…

  • Obama’s America: Bureaucracy Fines Theater $80,000 for Racism

    By Selwyn Duke When you hear that a movie theater was fined $80,000 dollars for discrimination, you might wonder if it refused to hire blacks or promote women. But this wasn’t the case with the Carmike 14 cinema, in Dover, Delaware. What was its Bull Connor moment? Its manager asked patrons to refrain from cellphone…

  • Journalist in France Convicted for Anti-Muslim Hate Speech

    By Selwyn Duke We’ve heard a lot about Geert Wilders, the Dutch parliamentarian whose warnings about Muslim influence in his nation place him in the crosshairs of the powers-that-be.  But while the tow-headed modern-day Templar has thus far dodged the hangman on Truth-speech charges, another intrepid defender of Western civilization has not been so lucky. …
