  • Christian Businessman Told to Leave Faith at Home and Take Diversity Training

    By Selwyn Duke Whatever rights the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission is safeguarding, the right to engage in commerce doesn’t seem to be among them — not if you’re a believing Christian, anyway. In a shocking decision, a commission examiner made a recommended ruling last Monday that a Christian businessman violated a local ordinance…

  • Patient Number Two: Obama Fiddles While Ebola Spreads

    By Selwyn Duke No one as yet knows how the United States' second Ebola patient — the first believed to have contracted the disease on American soil — became infected. We know that the person, a female nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, picked up the disease from recently deceased Liberian national Thomas Eric…

  • Archie Bunker in the White House?

    By Selwyn Duke Everyone who isn’t like Obama (i.e., uninformed) knows about Obama’s not-too-uncommon malapropisms and mistakes, such as when he pronounced “corpsman” “corpse-man” — three times in one speech. Early this year, the president called Oklahoma’s Choctaw Nation the “Cock-taw” Nation. And more recently, he mispronounced Ebola “Ebolee” during an October 2 speech in…

  • Epidemiologist: “President Obola” Allowing Spread of “Killer Illness”

    By Selwyn Duke Given that dozens of countries have already instituted Ebola-related travel/entry restrictions and eight airlines have thus far restricted flights to nations affected by the disease, many critics have a question: Why hasn’t the United States protected Americans by suspending travel to and from Ebola-ravaged lands? One of the most recent figures recommending…

  • City to Fine Residents for Putting Too Much Food in Garbage

    By Selwyn Duke Your refrigerator fails and you dump a large amount of spoiled food in the garbage? That could mean a fine under a new ordinance in Seattle. The measure is designed to encourage composting, and it empowers garbage collectors to conduct a “cursory” inspection of residents’ trash in an effort to find violators.…

  • Equal Work? Government Has No Idea What That is

    By Selwyn Duke “Equal pay for equal work!” the mantra goes. “Women get only 73 cents on a man’s dollar!” These are oft-heard slogans, and we may well hear them again during the fall campaign with the War on Women afoot. Now, going beyond the rhetoric, it’s not widely known but nonetheless true that the…

  • Michelle Obama Criticizes America at UN for Treatment of Women

    By Selwyn Duke In a recent address to a United Nations education event, First Lady Michelle Obama decided to shine the light on a certain nation’s treatment of women. No, it wasn’t Saudi Arabia where females aren’t allowed to drive, or the Congo where rape is brutal and systematic. It was the United States. Here’s…

  • Obama Prohibits FBI From Scrutinizing Muslims When Seeking Domestic Terrorists

    By Selwyn Duke Could you imagine if the government had prohibited consideration of ideology (Nazi leanings) in identifying possible internal threats during WWII? That’s exactly how many critics might analogize new rules handed down by Attorney General Eric Holder that hamstring the FBI, rules disallowing the use of religious factors in the pursuit of terrorist…

  • Black-on-white Violence Rampant, Ignored by Authorities and Media

    By Selwyn Duke Imagine you’re walking down the street and someone sucker punches you, breaking your glasses and swelling your lip. Your attacker then continues raining down blows upon you, spits on you, and pejoratively refers to your religious orientation while provoking you to fight. Imagine this happens in front of tens of witnesses who…

  • If You Want to Get into a Really Big War, Elect a Liberal

    By Selwyn Duke If I pointed out that involvement in every major 20th-century conflict the US was part of occurred on liberals’ watch, it might not be entirely fair. True, there was WWI under Wilson, WWII under FDR, Korea under Truman, and Vietnam under Kennedy and Johnson. But the second Great War needed to be…
