  • Exposing the Global Warming Hoax

    By Selwyn Duke Agricultural journalist Jerry Carlson has written an excellent article about the global warming hoax.   He  points out that the truth about climate change — that it’s simply part of a natural cycle — may start to be reported by the mainstream media.  He writes:

  • Giuliani’s Out – Who’s Surprised?

    By Selwyn Duke Quite predictably, Rudolph Giuliani has withdrawn from the presidential race.  His campaign had hit the skids, and, if he couldn’t win in Florida, with all its transplanted New Yorkers, he couldn’t have won anywhere.  Yet his decline in the polls was also predictable, and, in fact, I did predict it.

  • Trying to Kill the Immigration Card

    By Selwyn Duke With the victories of Mike Huckabee and John McCain in the first two primary contests and Mitt Romney’s failures prior to Michigan, a fiction is being bandied about: The anti-amnesty position isn’t playing well in Peoria.

  • The Times Slimes Veterans

    By Selwyn Duke The New York Times really could be the poster rag for the decline of the mainstream media.  Its new motto should be "All the news that fits our agenda," as rarely a week passes where my low opinion of it isn’t affirmed.  This time the paper issued its offense against Truth on…

  • The Race for the American Mind

    By Selwyn Duke Last year’s scamnesty bill had widespread support among the powers-that-be, with the president, the Democrat majority and mainstream media all singing its praises. Yet it went down to defeat, slain by a new-media coalition of talk radio and blogosphere warriors.  Working tirelessly to expose the truth and rally the grassroots, they became…

  • Canadian Publisher Investigated for “Hate Speech”

    By Selwyn Duke In a day or two I will publish a piece about the battle for free speech being waged throughout the West.  Thus, it’s quite apropos that I came across the story of Ezra Levant, a Canadian publisher and commentator who is being investigated for "hate speech" by one of those euphemistically-named "human…

  • Chris Matthews in the Dog House

    By Selwyn Duke Liberal pundit and host of "Hardball," Chris Matthews, has actually run afoul of the  politically-correct thought police.  I have no use for Matthews’ commentary and generally don’t watch his show, but, not surprisingly, this is one of the few times I agree with him.

  • The Media’s Inescapable Bias

    By Selwyn Duke I happened to tune in to a documentary last night titled "God’s Christian Warriors."  It’s one segment of a three-part series on religion that is the handiwork of veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour.  It caught my eye while watching the program guide, as I expected the usual anti-Christian double standards.  I was not…

  • Thoughts on the News for Today – 11/28/07

    By Selwyn Duke With the federal government’s abdication of its responsibility to secure the border, many local governments have stepped into the breach.  These cities and towns are fed up with the feds and are starting to enact laws designed to rid their jurisdictions of invaders. 

  • Moslem Group Attacks Michael Savage: The Battle Between Taquiya and Talk Radio

    By Selwyn Duke You will have to forgive me, but I have a difficult time taking the war against Moslem extremists seriously.  No, I haven’t become the latest in a line of anti-American quislings who say the war is “all about oil” or that Islamism is not a threat.  It’s just that I have trouble…
