  • 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…

  • Liberal Lies Killed the Two NYC Cops

    By Selwyn Duke “They have blood on their hands,” said former NYC police commissioner Bernard Kerik, of Mayor Bill de Blasio, Al Sharpton and “all those who encouraged this anti-cop, racist mentality.” He was, of course, commenting on the heinous assassinations of the two NYPD officers this weekend. “All those who encouraged,” by the way,…

  • Cop: We Need Military Equipment Because of “Constitutionalists”

    By Selwyn Duke “We’ve got a lot of constitutionalists and a lot of people that stockpile weapons.” Those were the words of a Spokane, Washington, sheriff’s deputy (shown) explaining why his department needed military-grade equipment. In a video (shown below) obtained by Infowars.com, the deputy was answering a question from a citizen who wondered why…

  • Forget North Korea: Watch Out for Chinese Censorship of Hollywood

    By Selwyn Duke Pudgy and profligate little Kim Jong-un must be swelling with pride. With the FBI now concluding that North Korea was responsible for the recent computer hacking of Sony Corporation, it appears that Kim has succeeded in projecting power beyond his borders in, essentially, censoring a Western film. That work, of course, is…

  • Two NYC Cops Assassinated in Garner-Brown Revenge Attack: The Price of Lies?

    By Selwyn Duke “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!” That was the chant of protesters in New York City just over a week ago. Sadly, they have now gotten their wish: Two NYC police officers were shot dead Saturday — execution style — in what the killer described as an…
