  • FBI Warns Criminal Gangs Infiltrating U.S. Military

    By Selwyn Duke A troubling FBI assessment has found that criminal gangs are not only expanding in U.S. cities and towns, but also where they could perhaps undermine national security most: the U.S. military. Reporting on the matter, ABC News writes: While FBI and law enforcement officials do not have estimates on the number of…

  • Herman Cain Gets into Trouble on Abortion

    By Selwyn Duke In an interview this past Wednesday with CNN’s Piers Morgan, presidential contender Herman Cain was asked about abortion — and his answer got him in hot water. Cain said that he believes life begins at conception and, consistent with that reality, that he considers abortion wrong in all situations, including rape and…

  • Clinton’s Cackling at Cain Takes the Cake

    By Selwyn Duke Upon watching footage of Hillary Clinton mocking Herman Cain in Afghan president Hamid Karzai’s presence, one could wonder: would she really want to stack her accomplishments up against Cain’s?

  • Forget the Wall Street Protesters: Why We Should Hate “Capitalism”

    By Selwyn Duke Okay, you can lift your lower jaw off the floor. I haven’t joined the dark side: My problem isn’t economic but lexical. I do hate capitalism — the term. As you know, in the eyes of many, “capitalism” has become both a four-letter word and the target of such. For example, New…

  • Political Persecution in Maricopa County

    By Selwyn Duke When we think of political persecution, places such as Tiananmen Square may come to mind.  Increasingly, however, this tool of tyranny is coming to our shores – and it is not made in China.  It is, in the case I’ll discuss today, made in Maricopa County. Every avid news reader knows about…

  • Destroying the Republic “for the Children”

    By Selwyn Duke We’ve all heard about the tactic of using children as human shields, as practiced by Saddam Hussein, the Taliban and others. The idea is that you place civilians — preferably women and children — at military targets to reduce the chances that your enemy will attack and so that, if he does,…

  • “The Black US Attorney Has Common Cause with the Black Criminal”

    By Selwyn Duke According to Department of Justice whistleblower J. Christian Adams, AG Eric Holder has a certain something in his wallet.  It is a quotation – and he has carried it for decades.  It essentially says, to quote Adams, “Blackness is more important than anything, and the black US attorney has common cause with…

  • How Conservative Candidates Can Give Us a RINO Nominee

    By Selwyn Duke While I certainly understand the frustration of those who complain of RINO primary rise, it’s important to accept the reality of how it happens.  It is not, as some would say, a matter of the “Republican Party giving us another John McCain.”  Nominees aren’t appointed; they’re elected.  It is not the result…

  • I’ll Eat What I Want; You Eat Your Heart Out, Bloomberg

    By Selwyn Duke Although I’ve never been one to demonize the rich, there is something particularly irritating about a busybody billionaire who confuses his bankroll with his I.Q. And the busiest of this species seems to be NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose latest patrician effort involves convincing governments worldwide to control what the peons eat.…

  • Governor Beverly Perdue: The Best Government Is That Which Governs Most?

    By Selwyn Duke Governor Beverly Perdue’s recent suggestion that we suspend the 2012 elections so our Representatives can focus on getting things done has caused some to question whether she is fit to hold office. After all, if you want to preserve a wayward democratic republic, it’s probably not the best idea to suggest that…
