  • Canada Fines Amish $300K for Not Using Covid App on Smartphones They Don’t Have

    By Selwyn Duke It’s right up there, or down there, with kicking puppies and putting kittens in clothes dryers. How else, after all, would you characterize the tormenting of the Amish, everyone’s favorite quaint, pacifistic Luddites? Well, there is another way — as something Justin Trudeau’s Canada is currently doing. The story, which broke a…

  • Does Christian Fundamentalism “Infect” Our Schools?

    By Selwyn Duke As if cuing ominous music, we hear incessant warnings today about “Christian nationalism” and “fundamentalism.” We’re supposed to fear these forces and, in particular, their alleged inroads into education. In fact, as the Los Angeles Times writes this week, this phenomenon threatens to “destroy” our schools and transform us “from a democracy to a…

  • Louisiana, Law, and Lies: Is Displaying the Ten Commandments in Classrooms Constitutional?

    By Selwyn Duke “The fundamental basis of this Nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount,” said a famed American figure. “The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul.” Which evangelist said the above? Billy Graham? Pat…

  • Left-wing Violence: Abortion Radicals Attack Churches; Biden Turns Blind Eye

    By Selwyn Duke There are sins of commission, things you shouldn’t have done, but did; and sins of omission, things you should have done, but didn’t. When the two come together, you can have evildoers and enablers, such as when miscreants commit crimes and authorities ignore the crimes. Enter the Biden administration.

  • Government Schools: When Satan Is Welcomed In, Is It Time to Get Your Kids Out?

    By Selwyn Duke Oklahoma has, some sources say, the dubious distinction of having the greatest number of strong tornadoes per unit area in the United States. One tornado that won’t hit the state, however, is a storm of satanic “ministers” in government schools, says Oklahoma’s top education official. The satanists are, though, announced Superintendent Ryan…

  • Is Our Government Trying to Kill Its Political Opponents in Prison?

    By Selwyn Duke A judge found, back in 2021 already, that government officials violated a January 6 defendant’s civil rights by impeding his access to medical care. That hapless man isn’t alone, either. Other incarcerated 2020 Capitol protesters have alleged likewise, and now, reports hold, there are two more examples of what many would interpret as government attempts…

  • Can You Guess What Is Now Britain’s “Most Despised Minority”?

    By Selwyn Duke It’s ironic. Missionaries from Britain and other Western nations once struck out into the largely unknown, uncivilized world to spread Christianity. Now, says a Scottish-born writer, Christians are “the most despised minority in Britain.” Moreover, this Christophobia permeates the entire Western world — including the United States. It’s also attended, though, by…

  • Purging Christianity to Please Muslims: German Schools Nix Christian Festival

    By Selwyn Duke One critic calls it the “Islamic conquest of the West.” Others say it’s a sign of a collapsing West. But on the heels of a story about European churches removing crosses to accommodate Muslim migrants comes another in the same vein: Some German primary schools and daycare centers are renaming a traditional…

  • Should Churches Remove Crosses to Make Muslim Migrants Feel at Home?

    Selwyn Duke While Islamic terrorists in various parts of the world are burning churches and executing Christians, crosses are being removed from some European churches — by church officials themselves. And it’s being done in deference to Muslim sensibilities. Read the rest here.

  • The Muslim Migrants and the Death of the West

    By Selwyn Duke Death can happen suddenly, as when being shot or hit by a truck. But it’s more often a process involving steady and observable decline. It’s also true that symptoms can be confused with causes. Such is the case with listing Western civilization and the Muslim migrant crisis, opines the Wall Street Journal’s…
