By Selwyn Duke The big questions now surrounding Barack Obama’s triumvirate of scandals is “How much did he know?” and “When did he know it?” Former presidential advisor David Axelrod made the point that the government is “so vast” that the president can’t possibly know all that transpires. Of course, this is one of the…

By Selwyn Duke What does the Islamic world and Europe have in common? There are actually many similarities, but one is this: in neither place are Christians allowed to fully express their beliefs without fear of persecution. As for Eurasia, its Ministry of Truth’s latest handiwork is the arrest and punishment of an American street…

By Selwyn Duke When your article inspires a big-city mayor to refer your case to a "human-relations commission," you know you've hit a nerve.

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. …

By Selwyn Duke If you want to know what lies just a little ways further down the rabbit hole of political correctness, go north, Western man.
