By Selwyn Duke We just heard about the Miami high-school principal fired for soberly disagreeing on social media with the McKinney narrative.

By Selwyn Duke "Girls will be boys and boys will be girls; it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world….” In 1970, this was just a song lyric.

By Selwyn Duke Have you heard about the millions of Chinese flooding into Tibet?

By Selwyn Duke If you want our freedoms restored, well, as they say, don’t hold your breath waiting — especially since holding your breath may soon be against the law, at least in a certain context.
