  • When Good Science Collides with Bad Ideology

    By Selwyn Duke DNA technology has been an invaluable crime-fighting tool, allowing law enforcement to identify both the innocent and the guilty.  And since it has been so welcomed by authorities, molecular biologist Tony Frudakis had every reason to believe that his great advance in suspect identification — called "DNAWitness" — would be well received. …

  • Duke’s WorldNetDaily Article: What We Can’t Say About Black-on-white Crime

    By Selwyn Duke A white man aboard a subway car is taunted, harassed and attacked by a gang of black high-schoolers.  Three white Michigan teens find themselves in the "wrong" neighborhood and are beaten and shot by six black youths. Then there was the case of a white couple that was gang raped, mutilated and…

  • May You Hang? It All Depends on Your Color

    By Selwyn Duke Last month there was a story about a black firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and threatening note containing a picture of a noose in an East Baltimore firehouse.  But now it has been revealed that the fireman, Donald Maynard, planted the objects himself.

  • Thoughts on the News, Silly and Serious – 11/25/07

    By Selwyn Duke "Radiation. Yes, indeed! You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it’s bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year! They ought to have them, too." – Mad scientist in Repo Man.

  • China Rising

    By Selwyn Duke As preoccupied as we are with Islamic terrorism, it’s easy to ignore the perhaps even greater threat posed by China.   China is a burgeoning nation — ambitious, technologically savvy, ruthless — and she dwarfs us in population.  She wants to supplant us as the world’s "hegemon," and we had better take notice.

  • Selwyn Duke Responds to Comments about “Racial Profiling”

    By Selwyn Duke There were many email responses to my piece titled "Stereotyping 101," including a minority in which readers expressed disfavor with my acceptance of what has incorrectly been called "racial profiling."  Below are two of those emails, followed by my refutations.

  • Stereotyping 101

    By Selwyn Duke In a racial profiling lawsuit against the Maryland State Police (MSP), a plaintiff’s attorney named Eliza Leighton said that some training documents contain “startling examples of racial stereotypes about Hispanics.”  (Just so you know, when leftists use the word “startling,” it usually means, “Man, this truth hurts!”)  According to the Associated Press:…

  • Why They Won’t Assimilate

    By Selwyn Duke In the piece I recently wrote about the threat posed by immigration, both illegal and legal, I mentioned that today’s immigrants are not assimilating into our culture. And, as I pointed out, since Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Reform Act of 1965 has created a situation in which 85 percent of our immigrants hail…

  • The New Lynching: Why I Must Defend Don Imus

    By Selwyn Duke So Don Imus has been fired from his radio show, and all is well in the world. We all know about the maelstrom that developed around the aging shock jock, who has found out how loose lips sink ships, in this case his own. But even though his is a vessel I…

  • A Lump of Coal for Kwanzaa

    By Selwyn Duke For you religio-centric clods who haven’t yet expanded your celebratory horizons – and you know who you are – I bring a message of tolerance and inclusiveness: December 26 marks the start of Kwanzaa.
