  • There are Lies, Damned Lies and Democrats

    By Selwyn Duke House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer certainly is a creative man. Asked about Barack Obama’s promise that everyone would be able to keep his health coverage if he liked it and the recent revelation that the Democrats knew all along that millions of Americans would lose their health plans under ObamaCare, he had…

  • “Racist” L.A. Police Dogs Think Whites Taste Bad

    By Selwyn Duke Will the slights and salt-in-wound exacerbations ever end? It’s not enough that white people are cast as the source of all the world’s woes as people find that we, increasingly, leave a bad taste in their mouths.

  • Study: Anti-bullying Programs Increase Bullying

    By Selwyn Duke Well, bully for anti-bullying programs. After spending countless millions instituting them nationwide, a university study has concluded that it isn’t just that they don’t work.

  • How to Enrich or Impoverish a Nation

    By Selwyn Duke What has lifted more people out of poverty, charity or economic freedom? It’s not even close. Charity is wonderful, and I’ll be the first to say we have an obligation to share our gifts, be they material, intellectual or talent oriented. Yet whether our redistributionist endeavor is charity — and charity is…
