  • Three-monkey Authorities Ignoring another Black-on-white “Hate Crime”

    By Selwyn Duke Like the three monkeys who see, hear and speak no evil, our authorities seem intent on ignoring the true nature of yet another black-on-white racial attack.  In the New York City subway this past Sunday, 29-year-old Jason Fordell was attacked by a group of black men who taunted him for being white.…

  • The Statist Call-for-Civility Con

    By Selwyn Duke When I hear today’s frequent calls for civility, I’m reminded of Rodney King’s plaintive appeal, “Can we…can we all get along?” After all, King was a thug but, when he made his statement, seemed wholly sincere. This means that most contemporary political figures who call for civility share one certain commonality with…

  • MediaMatters takes another shot at stirring up anti-truth outrage

    By Selwyn Duke It really is a shame when a media watchdog has a twisted nose that mistakes putrescence for floral aroma—and vice versa. In a piece published yesterday, self-proclaimed media watcher MediaMatters (MM) criticizes Fox News for running the supposedly “misleading headline”: “Cambridge, MA set to Pay Gay Employees More Than Straight.” MediaMatters takes…

  • Woman Faces Jail Time for Planting Vegetables on Own Property

    By Selwyn Duke Vegetable gardens may be popping on abandoned land in Detroit, Michigan, but nearby Oak Park apparently likes broccoli as much as does George H.W. Bush. At least, that is, when it’s growing in a homeowner’s front yard. Resident Julie Bass is learning this the hard way. After Bass’s lawn was torn up…

  • Trashing the Constitution: The Living Document Con

    By Selwyn Duke Is constitutionalism akin to blind faith? Some statists certainly think so, as they have called the position “constitution-worship.” In light of this, what should we call those who lack that “faith”? Given that they don’t believe in the Constitution, and that the document is the supreme law of the land, can it be…

  • Noam Chomsky Gets Half a Clue

    By Selwyn Duke Of all idiots, none is so useful as he who can masquerade as a genius. MIT linguistics professor Noam Chomsky recently denounced Hugo Chavez, accusing the Venezuelan strongman of making an “assault” on his nation’s democracy and of cruelty with respect to a female judge he imprisoned for issuing an unwelcome ruling. …

  • New York Plunges into Marriage Insanity

    By Selwyn Duke If it weren’t so tragic, there really would be something amusing about “progressivism.” New York just legalized the curiosity that many call by an oxymoronic euphemism but that I, in my up-the-down-staircase effort to control the language, more rightly call faux marriage. And the tragically amusing part is this: We effect our…

  • Cowardly British Cops Cover Up Muslim Crime

    By Selwyn Duke Much like a caterpillar, the West grows more self-destructive with age.  And the moth it has become cannot resist being drawn toward the flame of liberalism.  This results in continual forays into the heat of cultural indifference, and a recent example is the British police’s refusal to pursue Muslim criminals for fear…

  • Russia: “Morally Corrupt to the Core”

    By Selwyn Duke When Nevada Senate contender Sharron Angle led incumbent Harry Reid by three points in polls but lost by six on Election Day 2010, it raised some eyebrows. Yet that is nothing compared to the Russian region of Tambov, where Vladimir Putin’s party, United Russia (UR), polled at 35 percent in April but…

  • Politically Correct Washington Supreme Court Overturns Murder Conviction

    By Selwyn Duke In 2007, Kevin L. Monday Jr. was convicted for the murder of Francisco Green and received 64 years in prison.  The incident ad been caught on a 3-minute video recording shot by a street performer, and the footage clearly showed Monday coolly and calculatingly firing 11 shots at Green on a crowded…
