    By Selwyn Duke Walter Palmer the hunter is now the hunted, with worldwide reprobation making him a social pariah and social-media threats driving him into hiding. And now a federal investigation into the Minnesota dentist who allegedly poached famed Cecil the Zimbabwean lion has been launched. Yet Planned Parenthood, revealed on video to have been…

  • The Sexual-heresy Agenda: The Houston Equal Rights Ordinance That Isn’t

    By Selwyn Duke So-called “LGBT” activists are citing a certain political battle in Houston as being “the next stage of the struggle for full LGBT equality.” But what they advocate truly is a case of some citizens being more equal than others.   At issue is the euphemistically named “Houston Equal Rights Ordinance” (HERO), which expands the number of…

  • Cecil the Lion Ranks Higher Than Planned Parenthood’s Baby Holocaust

    By Selwyn Duke "Only one good thing comes out of this. Thousands of people have read the story and have also been shocked. Their eyes opened to the dark side of human nature.” This statement wasn’t made about Planned Parenthood, the baby-murdering organization recently discovered to have been trafficking human body parts for money.

  • Boy Scouts Bend Again: Will Allow Homosexual Scout Leaders

    By Selwyn Duke The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) voted Monday to end their blanket ban on adult homosexual troop leaders.

  • They’re Just Committing the Crimes Americans Won’t Commit

    By Selwyn Duke With the San Francisco woman murdered by one of Barack Obama’s “new Americans,” we should ask: how much innocent blood will be spilled on the altar of the Left’s “fundamental transformation” of America?

  • Pound Sand, Your Honor! More Americans Want States to Ignore Federal Courts

    By Selwyn Duke While dissenting from the recent Supreme Court decision rubber-stamping same-sex “marriage,” Justice Antonin Scalia warned his colleagues that with “each decision … unabashedly based not on law” the Court moves “one step closer to being reminded of [its] impotence.” And a new poll shows that another such step has in fact been…

  • Trumping Trump: Political Victory Via Economic Destruction

    By Selwyn Duke Political winds are giving The Donald the Trump bump, with the real-estate mogul taking second place in polls on the 2016 presidential race. But economic winds are a different matter, with the brash businessman becoming the latest American targeted for destruction by the politically correct powers-that-be. Donald Trump (shown), who officially declared…

  • Climate Change: Is a Deadly Ice Age on the Horizon?

    By Selwyn Duke The last ice age ended approximately 12,000 years ago, and since then we’ve been enjoying a pleasantly warm “interglacial period.” But given that an interglacial may last only 12,000 years, we’re confronted with a scary prospect: Another ice age may be nigh. And this could have devastating effects on mankind. So says…

  • States’ Reaction to Same-sex “Marriage” Ruling: A Little Talk, Even Less Action

    By Selwyn Duke “To allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation.” So wrote Justice Antonin Scalia in his dissent in Obergefell v. Hodges, the…

  • When the Feds Quash Free Speech with Legal Tyranny

    By Selwyn Duke Imagine you run a website and are ordered by the federal government to divulge personal information on article commenters. Now imagine that the feds also issue a gag order preventing you from revealing what they’re up to. This is precisely what happened with award-winning libertarian website Reason.com Site editor Nick Gillespie related…
