  • Scottish Independence and the Failure of Multiculturalism

    By Selwyn Duke We’re supposed to be living in the era of consolidation of power. There’s the European Union and the euro, NAFTA and ambitions for a North American Union, and former Israeli president Shimon Peres even floated the idea of a UN-style Organization of United Religions. And isn’t this the tide of history? Just…

  • Barack Obama Is Bringing Disease to America

    By Selwyn Duke With a southern border so unguarded that even a federal bulletin has warned that it may be the source of an imminent terrorist attack, there is strong suspicion that another threat has crossed it: disease. News stories have appeared recently about a strange outbreak across the Midwest of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), which…

  • Eric Holder’s DOJ Suing Police for Treating Women Equally

    By Selwyn Duke If you thought discriminating against women could get you in trouble today, try treating them equally. The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) is learning this the hard way. The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit in late July to end the PSP’s practice of requiring that all state-police applicants, be they male…

  • UK Woman Who Reported Muslim Pedophilia Forced Into “Diversity Training”

    By Selwyn Duke “You must never [again] refer to Asian men,” and your “awareness of ethnic issues” needs to be raised. This chastisement was given to a UK Home Office researcher who, apparently, was thought guilty of “racism.” Her offense? She blew the whistle on a pedophilia ring in the English town of Rotherham. One…

  • The Utah Polygamy Ruling and the Tale of the Slippery Slope

    By Selwyn Duke “Same sex marriage leads away from polygamy, not for it,” said the Brookings Institution’s Jonathan Rauch in 2012. Joining him was the Economist, which wrote just last year that “gay marriage” to polygamy was “A not-so-slippery slope.” But more and more it seems that these and other crystal-ball watchers have slipped on their…

  • Muslim Pedophilia in the UK Ignored by Politically-correct Authorities

    By Selwyn Duke It’s a shocking revelation. Authorities in the UK ignored a child-trafficking ring — and the beating, terrorizing, and sexual abuse of children. And it was for a very troubling reason: The perpetrators were Muslim. The Associated Press details the abuse:   About 1,400 children were sexually exploited in a northern England town,…

  • U.K. May Make Psychological Abuse, Humiliation Jailable Offenses

    By Selwyn Duke Polygamy may still be illegal in most of the West, but, increasingly, marriages today often include more than just two members: husband, wife — and Big Brother. The latest example is a proposal in the United Kingdom that would make actions such as “bullying” and withholding money in intimate relationships jailable offenses.…

  • Big Brother to Farmers: Host Same-sex Wedding or Pay Fine

    By Selwyn Duke It gives new meaning to the term “shotgun wedding”: Government officials in New York have told an upstate farming couple that they must host same-sex “weddings” on their property — and because they refused to do so they must pay a $13,000 fine. The hapless farmers are Robert and Cynthia Gifford, who…

  • Ex-Marine Gunner: Ferguson Shot Pattern Vindicates Officer Wilson

    By Selwyn Duke Does the unusual shot pattern in the Michael Brown shooting incident tell the tale of whether or not Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson fired in self-defense? Ex-marine and video blogger Michael Wilson (no relation) certainly thinks so. And he has created a presentation explaining the significance of the pattern and why he…

  • How Facebook Can Manipulate the November Election

    By Selwyn Duke It was the focus of the film The Social Network, but critics say that Facebook has become a political network — one that is two-faced and facing left. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has long been pushing amnesty and targeting politicians who oppose it. Now, warns American Thinker’s Jonathon Moseley, Facebook is going…
