  • Keep the Confederate Flag Flying

    By Selwyn Duke “Take it down! That symbol must go!” We hear these cries in the wake of the Charleston church shooting in reference to the Confederate battle flag, which still flies above the South Carolina Capitol. As you know, one criminal who committed a heinous act had sometimes sported the symbol, so, the thinking…er,…

  • Chinese Espionage: Was the OPM “Hack” Not a Hack, but Treason?

    By Selwyn Duke Despite its importance, there’s a story that’s not getting out to the public — at least not as quickly as data that should be secret is getting out to the Chinese. Many of you have heard about the supposed “hack” of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in which the Chinese were…

  • Cultural Marxism: Nobel Scientist Sacked for Making Innocent Joke about Women

    By Selwyn Duke We just heard about the Miami high-school principal fired for soberly disagreeing on social media with the McKinney narrative. Now comes an even more outrageous story involving what’s usually called political correctness, but should really be labeled what it is: evil. Sir Tim Hunt is a darn good scientist. So good, apparently,…

  • Italy: Little Schoolchildren Cross-dress Under New Gov’t Program

    By Selwyn Duke "Girls will be boys and boys will be girls; it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world….” In 1970, this was just a song lyric. In 2015, though, it increasingly is part of school curricula. And the latest news on this front is a shocking story about a taxpayer-funded elementary-school program…

  • Colonization and Cultural Genocide — and They Call it “Immigration”

    By Selwyn Duke Have you heard about the millions of Chinese flooding into Tibet? With their displacement of the native peoples and the supplanting of Tibetan with Chinese culture, anthropologists and human rights activists have labeled the colonization “cultural genocide.” (See here, here, here, here, and here, for example.)  It is a cause célèbre with…

  • Obama’s Justice Dept. Wants Names of Internet Commenters Who Trashed Judge

    By Selwyn Duke In an age where a British politician was arrested for publicly quoting legendary statesman Winston Churchill, it’s not surprising that a loose Internet comment can get a person in trouble. And this may be what’s happening in the case of six Internet posters whom the federal government believes issued “threats” against a…

  • 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…

  • Our Sexual Cancer: Metastasizing as the Band Plays On

    By Selwyn Duke When looking back on ex-heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali’s Parkinson’s disease, boxing fans will generally talk about how compromised he was in his last several bouts. In reality, the condition likely manifested itself long before in relatively mild symptoms some mistook for normal aging. And so it is with cultural disease: Observers will…

  • Now the Government Wants to Ban Holding Your Breath

    By Selwyn Duke If you want our freedoms restored, well, as they say, don’t hold your breath waiting — especially since holding your breath may soon be against the law, at least in a certain context. In an effort many would described as the nanny-state run amuck, there’s a movement afoot to ban “prolonged breath…

  • Supreme Constitutional Trespass: Marriage

    By Selwyn Duke Courts and marriage, courts and marriage; they go together like a cat and carriage. With the Supreme Court possibly poised to strike down the remaining state bans on official recognition of same-sex relationships, it’s lamentable, but important to note, that things have gone this far only because of a universal failure to…
