  • Legal vs. Illegal Murder: Abortion in Utah

    By Selwyn Duke She is now a healthy baby, bouncing about, playing with bubbles in the bathtub, and taking in everything this mysterious world she entered has to offer. But she almost never was. Or, at least, she almost never was outside the womb. In fact, she certainly never would have been had the aspiring…

  • N.Y. Governorship Scandal Hits Again: Paterson Will Not Run

    By Selwyn Duke Damaged by scandal like his predecessor, New York’s Governor David Paterson has announced that he is withdrawing his bid to win election this November. The governor had been steadfast in his determination to capture a full term at the ballot box, despite low poll numbers and growing opposition within his own party.…

  • Time to Turn Up the Heat on the Warmists

    By Selwyn Duke At one time some would call them “deniers.”  The more generous called them “skeptics.”  But now, increasingly, it appears that they can be called something else: sane.  Yes, the climate has certainly changed. Even in the mainstream media, the less liberal organs are waking up.  There is now a never-ending barrage of…

  • High Crimes: White House Accused of Using Bribery to Preserve Senate Majority

    By Selwyn Duke Has a bombshell just been dropped in the November elections? If a story that broke on Thursday gets enough ink, the answer may be yes. It’s being reported that the White House has sought to entice Senate primary challengers into dropping their campaigns against incumbent Democrats with the offer of plum government…

  • Trial Begins for Woman Who Cut Baby from Womb

    By Selwyn Duke It sounds like a dark story from the days of ancient pagan rituals: A person tears open a woman’s womb while she’s still alive and takes her baby from it. I wrote about such a crime in August of last year, but, tragically, it was no isolated event. And now a different…

  • Big Brother: France to Ban “Psychological Violence” in Marriages

    He said, she said? If she said he said the wrong thing, what he said won’t mean anything. By Selwyn Duke We’ve all heard of hate-speech laws. Well, now France will become the first country to enact rudeness-speech laws, making it a crime to commit “psychological violence” within a relationship. In other words, if Pierre…

  • “Youths” in France Torch Cars to Welcome New Year

    By Selwyn Duke We really should start to wonder if the automobile has the same status in Islamic teaching as pigs and dogs — and as that of truthful language in journalism.  In an event that was largely ignored by the Lamestream Media, Reuters reports that “youths” in France burned, according to its headline, “hundreds”…

  • The Jihadists in America

    By Selwyn Duke It is a bucolic region of verdant meadows, rolling hills, and babbling brooks, a largely peaceful place where big city hustle and bustle and crime are very far away. Yet, like a pig in a beauty contest, within this pastoral setting lies something incongruent: a Jihadist training center. In this compound, women…

  • Fathers Jailed for Opting Children Out of Sex Ed

    By Selwyn Duke Could you imagine being jailed simply because you decided to opt your children out of sex education? Well, this is exactly what is happening to a number of fathers in Germany. And, if certain forces in the United States have their way, such a policy could one day find its way to…

  • Widow Says Husband Driven to Heart Attack after False Accusation of Pedophilia

    We’ve all heard about false accusations of sexual criminality, incidents such as the 2006 Duke University rape frame-up case. They are a form of psychological molestation and can destroy a person’s life just as being physically molested can. Well, now such an accusation might have ended a man’s life. The hapless victim, 63-year-old British citizen…
