  • Businessman Arrested for Thwarting Crime

    By Selwyn Duke In my last piece, I wrote about some politically-correct insanity in Britain and said about it, "You can’t make this stuff up."  Well, you can’t.  Another, even more ridiculous example accosted my sensibilities today, as the Daily Mail is reporting on Steve Kink, a businessman who has been charged with assault because…

  • NaCl is Worth its Salt

    By Selwyn Duke The topic of spiritual health is much more interesting than that of physical health (yet we’re obsessed with the latter), so I’d rather talk about fat egos than fat bodies.   But today I’m going to make an exception.   

  • Limbaugh’s Deal: Talk Radio Thriving

    By Selwyn Duke The big news in the broadcast industry is Rush Limbaugh’s record-breaking, $400 million radio deal.  It promises to keep him on the air through 2016, a prospect that should please liberals to no end.

  • Africa’s Worst Dictator

    By Selwyn Duke We don’t hear as much as we should about Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean thug of a leader who has just stolen another election in his nation.  This is at least partially attributable to the fact that he’s not a politically-incorrect scoundrel, in that the group he most obviously persecutes is whites.  As…

  • Ireland: Every Time I Try to Get Out, They Pull Me Back In

    By Selwyn Duke Over at JBS.org, Ann Shibler has an excellent piece about the European Union’s imminent arm-twisting of Ireland into acceptance of the Lisbon Treaty.  As some of you may know, the Irish recently rejected the treaty via a referendum, one in which 53.4 percent of the voters said nay (the margin was almost…

  • Daily Mail: White boy, 12, suspected of being Islamic extremist recruit after he showed beheading videos to classmates

    By Selwyn Duke It’s now well-known that the mainstream media studiously avoids identifying the race or ethnicity of criminals or terrorists.  When Moslems riot, for instance, usually absent from articles on the subject is any reference to the religious classification of the rioters.  Used instead is a characterization such as the generic "youths."  "Two-hundred ‘youths’…

  • Right-wingers Are the Nice-wingers, While the Left is Bereft

    By Selwyn Duke I remember experiencing one of my first insights into the true nature of modern liberalism. I was 19 years old, sitting in an Indian restaurant with an erstwhile high school "buddy" who was talking about his aspirations. He concluded by waxing idealistic and saying "I want to do good things."

  • This Really is Funny

    There are a lot of people who send me emails, and some of them contain humor.  I don’t usually print such things, but what follows is actually clean and funny.

  • A Socialist by Any Other Name . . .

    By Selwyn Duke One of the consequences of being right in an age of lies is that it brands you as a radical.  Remember that being an extremist doesn’t mean you’re wrong, but simply that your views deviate greatly from those of the mainstream.  If you say that 2+2=4 in a land where everyone else…

  • Supreme Nonsense

    By Selwyn Duke If you asked people what the role of a Supreme Court Justice was, most wouldn’t know the answer.  I experienced this with a former acquaintance of mine, a septuagenarian millionaire who probably would have been thought sophisticated by most.  He did know that such justices rule on law, but when I asked…
