  • When Kids and Guns Mix

    By Selwyn Duke We all know what can happen when kids and guns mix. And today I will tell you some stories about that very thing. The kids' names were Kendra and Alyssa, and then there was the 11-year-old boy whose name we just don't know. What we do know is that they lived in…

  • When Teachers aren’t Smarter than a Fifth-grader

    By Selwyn Duke When I’ve written about our listing mis-education system, my focus has mainly been on rampant political correctness, on how students learn few of the right things partially because of emphasis on teaching the wrong things. Yet there’s another problem: in some cases the teachers couldn’t teach the right things even if they…

  • Obama Supporters are Shocked, Shocked, I Tell You….

    By Selwyn Duke My mother always used to say, “Life is the best teacher.” Sure is — and sometimes it smacks you right upside the head. It appears this has happened with Barack Obama supporters now witnessing their paychecks shrink in the wake of tax increases. And they’re none too happy. In fact, they’re shocked.…

  • American Suckers

    By Selwyn Duke Really, I can’t completely blame foreigners who hold us Americans in contempt. I know that’s a controversial statement, but my reasoning is explained with two questions: Do people generally respect those who allow themselves to be used as a doormat? And, then, how do people usually feel about the character of a…

  • Vote-stealing Dem Pleads Guilty to Beating up Girlfriend

    By Selwyn Duke If you’re a Democrat operative forced to resign for facilitating vote fraud, what do you do for a follow-up? If you said brutally attack your girlfriend, cracking her skull, your name just might be Patrick Moran. And if you’ve skated on both counts, your father just might be Jim Moran, Democrat congressman…

  • The Left Shows Its True, Violent Colors

    By Selwyn Duke It isn’t entirely true that, as Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” It’s often the case that power simply allows people the luxury of lowering façades and showing their true colors. A good example is the recent behavior of many on the Left. Commentator Donald Kaul just wrote…

  • Hey, Libs, What about the Employer’s Body?

    By Selwyn Duke If a leftist expressed new-age spirituality and uttered the Zen idea that he was one with the Universe, I’d certainly believe him. What else could explain liberals’ seeming inability to know where their body ends and someone else’s begins? For instance, while abortion is justified with the battle cry “My body, my…

  • Revealing Gun-owners Names Reveals Truth

    By Selwyn Duke A birdcage liner in my county of Westchester, NY, The Journal News, has made national headlines by releasing the addresses of county residents licensed to own a handgun. The paper claims that in the wake of the Newtown shooting, citizens want to know more about the arsenals their neighbors may possess. Of…

  • It’s Official: Mayor Bloomberg Needs Mental Help

    By Selwyn Duke Since removing constitutional rights is all the rage now, I have to ask: when does dislocation from reality become severe enough to justify involuntary commitment? A good study case is NYC’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who recently uttered a real gem on his weekly radio show. Writes Politicker.com: “I don’t think there’s anybody…
