  • Patriotic Movements on the Rise: The Anti-Islamist Worm Turns as Europe Burns

    By Selwyn Duke Aside from saying he “vomits” on his magazine’s new supporters, Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Bernard Holtrop lamented in a recent interview that the January 7 attack on his magazine would help Marine Le Pen’s National Front Party (NF). This is nothing new for Charlie journalists, by the way; while they’ve become a symbol…

  • Je ne Suis pas Charlie — I’m Sane

    By Selwyn Duke It’s so often the case that the best thing a person can do to improve his reputation is die. John F. Kennedy is now a legendary president, but would he be estimated so highly if he’d been able to end his political career as a man and not a myth? Ah, the…

  • State to Teenager: Undergo Chemotherapy — or Else

    By Selwyn Duke “My body, my choice!” may be a well-known rallying cry, but, increasingly, outside the realm of abortion it goes out the window. And the latest attack on this front involves a 17-year-old Connecticut teen told that she will undergo chemotherapy — whether she likes it or not. Fox CT reported on the…

  • Muslims and the Left’s Death by Tolerance

    By Selwyn Duke Aside from the three Muslim men who perpetrated the deadliest terror attack in France since 1961, there are some other individuals complicit in the Wednesday massacre. They have names such as Hollande, Cameron, Merkel, Löfven and Obama. Their connection to the act will largely go unnoticed and unapprehended — and they likely…

  • Fire Chief Sacked for Writing Book With Christian View of Homosexuality

    By Selwyn Duke The Atlanta government may not yet be burning books, but they sure burned a man who wrote one. The Georgia city’s mayor, Kasim Reed, announced Tuesday that he had terminated Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran. The reason? Cochran expressed disapproval of homosexual behavior in a self-published book. The chief had already endured a…

  • Racial Bias: Police More Willing to Shoot Whites, Study Shows

    By Selwyn Duke New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is notorious for giving his black son “the talk” — a warning about how his race will cause police to react to him. But it now appears his talk should have been in the nature of a reassurance, because a scientific study indicates that police are…

  • White Man With Pellet Gun Shot Dead by Cops; Media Silent

    By Selwyn Duke White is right — in activists’ book. That is, the right color to ignore when it comes to stories of people shot by police. So says American Thinker editor Rick Moran while reporting on the shooting of a pellet-gun wielding white man on Sunday by San Francisco police. The Washington Post describes the…

  • Freedom Burning: Censorship and Submission in Islam’s Name

    By Selwyn Duke “Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog,” said famed British statesman Winston Churchill. “Islam is a religion of peace,” said contemporary British statesman David Cameron. These two statements, both uttered by men who were or would become British prime minister, are separated by more than 100 years in time…

  • Obama Advisor Gruber in 2009: ObamaCare Unaffordable, Rationing (a.k.a. Death Panels) Inevitable

    By Selwyn Duke ObamaCare is technically known as the Affordable Care Act, but it has now been revealed that legislation architect Jonathan Gruber admitted in 2009 that the bill would be anything but affordable. In fact, he said it lacked cost controls and that, inevitably, certain individuals would have to be denied care — all…

  • “Everything is Awesome” in America? So Says Liberal Writer

    By Selwyn Duke “Everything Is Awesome!” is the title of a recent Politico piece on the American economy by liberal Michael Grunwald. And although it’s not followed by LEGO song lyric “Everything is awesome when we're living our dream,” some would say he certainly is dreaming. Much like the children’s movie Grunwald seems to be…
