  • Women vs. Men: Who Governs Better?

    By Selwyn Duke Every so often there’s that obligatory article asking “Are Women Superior at_____?” or “Do Women Make Better ______?” with politicians often being the focus. Of course, it’s always asked rhetorically. No matter the facts of the case, you’ll never hear, “We examined the issue exhaustively from all perspectives, consulted with premier authorities…

  • Former Electric-car Engineer: Electric Cars Pollute More Than Gas

    By Selwyn Duke Is the only “green” aspect of electric cars the money some companies make off them? If former plug-in advocate and General Motors engineer Ozzie Zehner (shown) is correct, this is exactly the case. Author of the book Green Illusions, Zehner once built his own hybrid car that could run on electricity or natural…

  • Claim: Justice Department Stoked Fires of Anti-Zimmerman Protests

    By Selwyn Duke If there’s racial violence following the George Zimmerman verdict, will it bear Department of Justice fingerprints? According to public advocacy group Judicial Watch, the answer is yes. At issue are the actions of the DOJ’s “Community Relations Service” (CRS), a little-known branch of the department whose operatives were initially sent to Sanford,…

  • Obama: Forcing Christians to Eat the Pork

    By Selwyn Duke While Barack Obama has often been compared to leaders of the past, it’s unlikely anyone has yet associated him with Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Ruler of the Seleucid Empire between 175 and 164 B.C., King Antiochus is best known for the persecution of Jews, and one story from the second book of Maccabees…

  • Study: Too Little Carbon Dioxide Will Destroy Earth

    By Selwyn Duke Do you want to save the planet? Fire up the SUV this holiday weekend and go for a pleasure ride; burn some more coal in your barbecue grill; crank up the house’s AC; and, generally, aspire to a Paul Bunyan-size carbon footprint. Because according to astrobiologist Jack O’Malley-James speaking at the National…

  • Teen Faces Eight Years in Prison for Making Joke

    By Selwyn Duke We’ve all heard the stories about little boys punished for shaping their fingers like or drawing a gun, or even just uttering the word “gun.” But out of Austin, Texas, comes a story that makes those incidents look like case studies in common sense. The Daily Caller reports: In February, Justin Carter…

  • Treasonous Immigrationists and the Death of America

    By Selwyn Duke Let’s do a little thought exercise here. Imagine that some force was flooding an indigenous people’s lands with millions of unassimilable foreigners, and it was understood that this influx would irretrievably change that land’s culture and replace the population. What would anthropologists call this phenomenon? Cultural genocide comes to mind.   Of…

  • Socially Engineering Racial Conflict

    By Selwyn Duke Addressing a large panel of black conservatives on Hannity Friday night, host Sean Hannity asked whether “African-American” was the correct label for black people. Thankfully, a vast majority of the panelists quite passionately agreed it was not, mainly making the point that we shouldn’t hyphenate ourselves. This is true, but it still…

  • Where Serena Williams is Right about Rape

    By Selwyn Duke If you want to know why lies seem increasingly common, it’s because we persecute people for honesty. A good example is the recent statements tennis star Serena Williams made about the Steubenville rape case. Commenting on the matter in a Rolling Stone interview, the Wimbledon champion opined: Do you think it was…

  • Obama, Maybe Catholicism is “Divisive” — and Maybe That’s Good

    By Selwyn Duke It isn’t always true that “united we stand.” United in the wrong things we can fall, and sometimes, for some to stand on principle, we must stand divided. Barack Obama is currently taking some heat for what has been characterized as a shot at Catholic education. While in Northern Ireland for the…
