  • MSNBC’s Revisionist History About JD Vance and America’s Failed Wars

    By Selwyn Duke It has been pointed out that during our history, it is Democrats who’ve gotten us involved in most of our wars. They’ve also had a strong hand, to say the least, in sparking our failed ones. This didn’t stop MSNBC from claiming otherwise in a hit piece on GOP vice-presidential candidate J.D.…

  • “Racist and Clueless”? That’s Today’s Colonialist Narrative, Says Writer

    By Selwyn Duke “The white race is the cancer of human history,” wrote feminist author Susan Sontag in 1966. While Sontag has passed on, her idea has passed on to critical-mass stage; in fact, the notion that whites are history’s “oppressors” and everyone else is the “oppressed” is now left-wing dogma as much as “four…

  • Professor Wants to Commit “Genocide” Against Western Civilization

    By Selwyn Duke Westerners used to believe they were heirs to the greatest civilization to ever grace God’s green Earth. They then descended into a culturally relativistic mentality stating, “Who’s to say one civilization is better than another?” The next transition was a cynical, “Meh, we’re not so hot.” Then there was the full-bore hatred…

  • Attacking America: Columbus Day Being Replaced With “Indigenous Peoples Day”

    By Selwyn Duke In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. In 2015 he’s thought quite mean — at least by some people. And as a result, a movement to replace his holiday with a politically correct one is picking up steam. Read the rest here.

  • Seeing Red: Will Communists Take Over Spain?

    By Selwyn Duke “What’s so bad about communism?” a teenager once naively asked me. It was an illustration of how freedom can be lost in one generation because knowledge of history can be. And one nation perhaps poised to repeat the Marxist mistake of the past is Spain, where a new political party — described…

  • Obama’s History ?01: “Islam Has Been Woven Into the Fabric of Our Country Since Its Founding”

    By Selwyn Duke You’ve probably never heard of Founding Fathers named Gamal bin Washington and Thamar Jefferson, and neither has Barack Obama. But this didn’t stop him from making the claim that “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.” While speaking in the White House’s South Court Auditorium during…

  • The Modern Crusaders Fighting ISIS

    By Selwyn Duke You might have heard about those people hailing from Western countries going off to fight where ISIS reigns. Or maybe not. No, these aren’t the jihadists who speak flawless French or English and leave the comfort of their Occidental cocoon to aid the Islamic State terrorists. Rather, they’re driven by a desire…

  • Terrible Deeds in Christ’s Name? Obama Displays Ignorance of History

    By Selwyn Duke Barack Obama (shown at National Prayer Breakfast) certainly makes his share of mistakes, from believing there’s a language called “Austrian” to claiming to have been to “57 states” to pronouncing “corpsman” “corpse-man” three times in the space of one minute. But while many of his displays of ignorance hurt mainly his own…

  • Whither Islam? Religion of Peace or Religion of War?

    By Selwyn Duke "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” — Koran (8:15) Every holy book contains some very unholy words, they say. If you presented certain select verses from the Bible in isolation, it would seem equally violent,…

  • Michelle Obama in 1954

    By Selwyn Duke Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco — and Michelle Obama left her brain in 1954. Addressing graduating high-school students the other day in the Topeka, Kansas, school district, the federal lunch lady said, referring to the Brown v. Board of Education decision, “[Y]our experience here in Topeka would have been…
