  • Cover-up: The Swedish Left’s Sacrifice of Women to Political Correctness

    By Selwyn Duke Female sacrifice hasn’t ended. It has just been transferred from the altars of pagan gods to that of political correctness, and the rending of bodies takes a back seat to the searing of souls. If you had to pick a contender for rape capital of the world, Sweden wouldn’t likely come to…

  • Radical Atheist Kills Three Muslims in North Carolina

    By Selwyn Duke “I don’t deny your right to believe whatever you’d like; but I have the right to point out it’s ignorant and dangerous for as long as your baseless superstitions keep killing people.” Craig Stephen Hicks may or may not embrace “baseless superstitions,” as he characterized religious faith in the above statement at…

  • Silicon Valley Girls: Do Women Need Affirmative Action in Tech Industries?

    By Selwyn Duke It was a couple of decades ago now that Mattel got in trouble for making Barbie dolls that exclaimed, “Math class is tough!” The company had done market research, the story goes, and found the aforementioned was one of young girls’ laments. But it appears that changing toys hasn’t changed reality. Because…

  • Global Conning: Temperature Data Cooked in “Biggest Science Scandal Ever”

    By Selwyn Duke What do you get when you combine copious amounts of government grant money, layers of dishonesty, the heat of environmental activism, a few dollops of ambition, and a glaze of science in a political pressure cooker? It’s a recipe for enriching a few, impoverishing most, and serving up bad policy all around.…

  • Terrible Deeds in Christ’s Name? Obama Displays Ignorance of History

    By Selwyn Duke Barack Obama (shown at National Prayer Breakfast) certainly makes his share of mistakes, from believing there’s a language called “Austrian” to claiming to have been to “57 states” to pronouncing “corpsman” “corpse-man” three times in the space of one minute. But while many of his displays of ignorance hurt mainly his own…

  • Is Pedophilia Okay if You’re “Born That Way”?

    By Selwyn Duke “Now, many experts view it as a sexual orientation as immutable as heterosexuality … a deep-rooted predisposition … that becomes clear during puberty and does not change.” The above idea was expressed with respect to homosexuality decades ago and since has become left-wing dogma. The thinking is that if someone was “born…

  • My Problem with Sarah Palin

    By Selwyn Duke With Sarah Palin once again hinting at a presidential run, pundits and politics wonks are all the more aflutter with 2016 talk. The predictable slings and arrows of the surly left are coming her way, while her excited fans are firing up the troops. Then there are those who say that while…

  • The Northeast Nanny-staters Who are and the Blizzard that Never Was

    By Selwyn Duke Call it the Blizzard of Oz. The “Snowstorm of the Century” Monday was supposed to be historic. All we got was histrionics. It turned out that the real blustery wind was hot air — and the worst accumulation was the knee-deep nanny-state politicians who think some snow warrants a travel ban. In…

  • Crazy on Campus: U.S. Colleges — Where Truth Is Always Stranger Than Fiction

    By Selwyn Duke “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them,” noted 1984 author George Orwell. Yet even he might be surprised at what passes for scholarship at today’s American colleges. And many parents certainly would be shocked to learn what their $35,000 to $120,000 — the current average public/private…

  • N.Y. Times Practically Invented No-go-zone Story, but Fox Is Threatened With Suit

    By Selwyn Duke “Je ne suis pas Fox News!” seems to be the attitude of Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. She threatened to sue the station last week over its reporting on her city’s “no-go zones,” areas where non-Muslims are wary to tread but that Hidalgo claims don’t exist. Said she, “When we're insulted, then I…
