  • Judge Says Boys Claiming Girlhood May Use Girls’ Restroom

    By Selwyn Duke America’s “firsts” aren’t what they used to be. Where they once included putting a man on the moon and heavier-than-air flight, now they’re trillion-dollar deficits, a trillion pieces of metadata NSA-processed, and six-trillion-dollar foreign military adventures. And coming to you straight from Maine is another fantastic first. Writes Yahoo News: School officials…

  • Why Is the Southern Poverty Law Center Trying to Crush a Small Jewish Organization?

    By Selwyn Duke It seems as if certain purported civil-rights activists think homosexuals are like some organized-crime groups: you can join the gang, but the only way you can leave is feet first. A case in point is a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey against JONAH International — a Judaic organization…

  • Andrew Cuomo: An Extreme Statement From an Extreme Man

    By Selwyn Duke God’s moderation is man’s extremism. This occurs to me when considering the remarks recently made by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. As you may know, the governor addressed a Republican schism while a guest on the New York Public Broadcasting radio show “The Capitol Pressroom” and said, “Extreme conservatives who are right-to-life,…

  • Ducking the Real Issue on Duck Dynasty

    By Selwyn Duke This past December, the Duck Dynasty television show became “duck and cover,” with the forces of pinkness going nuclear on its patriarch, Phil Robertson, after he uttered some words about the most victimey of victim groups. For those who missed the story, the saga began when GQ interviewer Drew Magary asked Robertson…

  • Thus Spake the Potheads

    By Selwyn Duke It’s starting to appear as if marijuana users have become the homosexual lobby of the chemically dependent. What do I mean? Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson could mention one sexual behavior (adultery) as disqualifying someone from the “kingdom of God,” but mentioning that “other” sexual behavior? That’s a boycottin’, pardner! Likewise, there’s no…

  • Forget Christie; Let’s Talk about Big Fat Traffic Jams

    By Selwyn Duke One unmentioned irony of the Chris Christie road-revenge scandal is that the powers-that-be finally found a traffic jam they didn’t like. Now, don’t get me wrong, having always lived in the NY metropolitan area and often having wanted to split a vein while in the midst of the NY/NJ road experience, I…

  • The Genocide of Dead White Males

    By Selwyn Duke With the way dead white males get vilified nowadays, it almost makes me afraid to die. And with the way true education is being killed off, you may be afraid to send your kids to school. A generation ago we heard the chant, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western culture’s gotta go!” And…

  • Is Bill de Blasio Trading Horses for Money?

    By Selwyn Duke They used to hang horse thieves — now they elect them mayor. As many know, New York City’s new commandant, Bill de Blasio, has sworn that one of his first acts upon taking office will be to ban Central Park’s iconic horse-drawn carriages. He claims that forcing horses to work in Manhattan…

  • America’s Death by Debt and Taxes

    By Selwyn Duke While the United States put a man on the moon in 1969, it took a bit longer to get there with our spending. But we finally made it with our profligate ways, as 3.9 trillion (our estimated 2013 budget) one-dollar bills stacked up would reach all the way to the moon —…

  • Homosexuals Get Duck Dy-Nasty

    By Selwyn Duke When I saw the headline yesterday about how “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson had commented on a certain sexuality-defined group, I wondered how long it would be before he got the “treatment.” I saw the next headline no more than a few hours later. In case you haven’t heard, the faith-filled Louisianan…
