By Selwyn Duke Has our nation traded the rule of law for the rule of lawyers? Critics would say so.

By Selwyn Duke “Take it down! That symbol must go!” We hear these cries in the wake of the Charleston church shooting in reference to the Confederate battle flag, which still flies above the South Carolina Capitol.

By Selwyn Duke Our “Anthropocene” epoch may be named after man, but it will also see man’s demise, says a prominent scientist. And, he avers, our end times are nigh — a mere 100 years off.

The essence of this opinion, about ex-McKinney, Texas, police officer Eric Casebolt, has been expressed by many, including talk-radio giant Mark Levin.

By Selwyn Duke When looking back on ex-heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali’s Parkinson’s disease, boxing fans will generally talk about how compromised he was in his last several bouts.
