  • Audio — Chrysler Lender Attorney: "White House Directly Threatened My Client" http://youtube.com/v/_GPNvjec-DAThis is a story about how the Barack Obama administration, in typical Chicago style, strong-armed an investment bank that was opposing his Chrysler bankruptcy plan. Obama's thugs actually said that they would use the White House press corps to destroy the bank's reputation if…

  • Obama Press Conference: The Gay Lady Strikes Again

    By Selwyn Duke So, the Teleprompter-in-Chief held a press conference yesterday to mark his 100th day in office.  And I understand that no one in the media fainted.  Of course, when I hear all these stories about people passing out during Obama's appearances, I can't help but wonder if it isn't just that his soporific…

  • Nationalizing the Newspapers

    By Selwyn Duke Quite a while ago, when all the bailout mania was just getting started, I mentioned on a radio show that the left soon might propose aiding their public relations team, the newspaper industry.  Well, it wasn't but a few weeks later that a story on the subject broke, and I wrote about…

  • The Sword of Islam, the Pen of the UN

    By Selwyn Duke If you know anything about “human rights commissions,” you know that never were there entities more  euphemistically named. They have proliferated throughout the Western world and have become tools of the thought police, and whatever rights they purport to protect, the right to speak Truth isn’t one of them. For evidence of…

  • The Marine and the Times Reporter

    A reader sent me the following little story.  I think you'll enjoy it immensely and appreciate its message. A Harley rider is passing the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.  Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter…

  • Germany Stunned by Shooting Spree http://youtube.com/v/LfDoMzng5fQThis story is about a teen in Germany, Tim Kretschmer, who went on a shooting spree and murdered 15 people. Now, in response to this, we'll hear all the usual nonsense. First and foremost, you can bet that the gun-control nuts will use this as a pretext to create even…

  • When Small Men Cast Big Shadows

    By Selwyn Duke "When small men cast big shadows, it's a sign that the sun is about to set." — Lin Yutang When I read the above proverb, I can't help but think about our time.  Can anyone deny that we have become the land where small men cast big shadows?  Think about it.  The…

  • Media Bias Against Traditional Values

    By Selwyn Duke We’re used to seeing quarterbacks pummeled at the Super Bowl, but this year something else was sacked: a pro-life message featuring Barack Obama. Although NBC had originally agreed to run the commercial, it subsequently balked, stating that it wasn’t going to air advocacy ads. Read the rest here.

  • The Artificial Reality of the Matrix Media

    Selwyn Duke A common defense of error today is to say, with deep indignation, “I have a right to my opinion!”  Legally this is true, given that our First Amendment is extant.  But as G.K. Chesterton once said, “Having the right to do something is not at all the same as being right in doing…

  • Bailing Out Big Media

    By Selwyn Duke While a guest on a radio show a few weeks back, a caller asked a question about how the media and leftist government establishment were joined at the hip. In response, I mentioned something I had been pondering. With bailouts all the rage in Washington, said I, it wouldn’t surprise me if…
