  • By Selwyn Duke “That's a hell of a price to pay for being stylish." So said Clint Eastwood in the 1976 film The Enforcer, lamenting the dangers of lowering police standards in feminism’s name. But the reality is that society has been paying that price for a long time. And now the cost may go…

  • By Selwyn Duke "Only one good thing comes out of this. Thousands of people have read the story and have also been shocked. Their eyes opened to the dark side of human nature.” This statement wasn’t made about Planned Parenthood, the baby-murdering organization recently discovered to have been trafficking human body parts for money.

  • By Selwyn Duke We just heard about the Miami high-school principal fired for soberly disagreeing on social media with the McKinney narrative. Now comes an even more outrageous story involving what’s usually called political correctness, but should really be labeled what it is: evil. Sir Tim Hunt is a darn good scientist.

But then we have the people born into the Christian tradition who join the anti-yuletide chorus, albeit with a tad…

  • 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 “History is a series of agreed-upon myths,” Napoleon Bonaparte observed cynically. Now some critics are saying that, today, current events are also a series of agreed-upon myths. “No matter what Jackie said, we should automatically believe rape claims.” This was opined by a more contemporary figure, being the recent title of a…

  • By Selwyn Duke     Rape is a horrific crime. A false accusation of rape is also a horrific crime. Both can alter your life, tragically — and perhaps forever.
