  • By Selwyn Duke Indiana Republicans possibly were trying to do their best impression of a cheap tent, but there perhaps hasn’t been such a quick folding since the collapse of the Maginot Line. The state’s Religious Freedom Restoration act, despite Governor Mike Pence’s feints to the contrary, was clearly intended to offer protection to bakers,…

  • By Selwyn Duke Representative Vanessa Summers apparently sees “racism” everywhere. Even in 18-month-old babies. During a debate in the Indiana House of Representatives last Monday on the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, it became apparent that Summers (D-Indianapolis) believes that white toddlers who fear her are bigoted. And, as PJ Media put it, “Rather than…

  • By Selwyn Duke While Al Gore is suggesting that climate-change realists be punished and schoolchildren braved a snowstorm to hear a rapper give a “happy” climate-alarmism message, an environmentalist presented a truly happy message on the subject: Climate change isn’t caused by man, there’s been no significant warming for nearly two decades, and, even if…

  • By Selwyn Duke We’ve heard much recently about the Muslim-run child sex-trafficking rings that have plagued Britain and that, for most of the last 15 years, had been covered up by the nation’s authorities. But it appears U.K. officials are old hands at protecting pedophiles, as a shocking story about powerful child molesters embedded deep…

  • By Selwyn Duke Heather Barwick’s testimonial against faux marriage is particularly powerful. While having been raised by two lesbians, she’s no bitter child rebelling against a parent. In fact, she expresses deep love for the women who nurtured her, and she used to support faux marriage herself. But after tying the knot and witnessing the…

  • By Selwyn Duke “A gun store opened in Manhattan….” It sounds like the beginning of a story — or a tale. And the effort essentially was fiction. Critics would say its message was fiction, too. As the salesman behind the counter showed one couple a firearm, he said to the husband, “It’s the easiest gun…

  • By Selwyn Duke  The latest shootings of policemen in Ferguson and the town’s riots last year were incited by race-baiting black leaders — such as Barack Obama and Eric Holder. So says black minister Jesse Lee Peterson, head of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny. Moreover, says the reverend, blacks are fertile ground for…

  • By Selwyn Duke Hillary Clinton is a dangerous woman. And her e-mail scandal, which has dominated the news recently, is reflective of why. Under a despotic regime, such as the former Soviet Union, the government can know everything about the people, but the people are allowed to know little about the government. And what they…

  • By Selwyn Duke     While eyes were focused on the Selma golden jubilee celebrating bygone battles, a current-day civil-rights battle was being waged — and ignored by the mainstream media. It took place at the Spokane, Washington, federal courthouse, where armed Second Amendment supporters confronted federal officials. And the feds backed down. The March 6 rally,…

  • By Selwyn Duke It’s ironic in a city whose name translates into “Saint Francis,” but the San Francisco government is apparently shocked and dismayed to learn that Catholic schools are supposed to be, well, Catholic. In the latest salvo against faith, some city supervisors are condemning San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone (shown) for seeking to…
