By Selwyn Duke It was a solution right up there with “Let them eat cake.” Addressing the issue of Jews fleeing Europe due to increasing Islamic terrorism and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for them to seek safety in Israel, Bill Nye “the Science Guy” had an interesting solution: “Get to know your neighbors.” The…

By Selwyn Duke “Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality,” wrote Lewis Carroll. And in recent times, reality has been losing that war. It used to be that you’d be asked what your “sex” was, and even flipping a coin yielded a 50 percent chance of being right. Now “sex” has been…

By Selwyn Duke We used to hear parents say they want their children to have it better than they did. But that was back before today’s relativism made “better” an incomprehensible term (at least, to the uncomprehending). Now there are dwarves who want to use genetic engineering to design dwarf babies for themselves. And then…

By Selwyn Duke Americans have very little faith in Obama’s faith. In fact, accepting that he’s “Christian” seems a leap of faith many citizens are unwilling to take, say polls. And Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin (shown) appears no exception. Asked recently by two Washington Post reporters if Obama is a Christian, Walker replied, “I…

By Selwyn Duke He may be a “reverend,” but it seems Al Sharpton (shown) hasn’t absorbed the biblical admonition “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” So says Erica Snipes, a daughter of Eric Garner, the 400-pound Staten Island, New York, man who died after resisting arrest on July 17,…

By Selwyn Duke In the tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” a vain emperor is swindled by two men who claim they can make him a special suit of garments invisible to the stupid or incompetent. When he later parades around naked in public, no one wants to state the obvious for fear of appearing the…

By Selwyn Duke A homosexual couple goes into a known Christian bakery and asks for a wedding cake for a same-sex “marriage,” is refused and then files a government complaint or sues. “Intolerance! Bigotry! Equal access!” is the cry. Many Americans have read of such stories in the news. Often the attempted purchase is a…

By Selwyn Duke You’ve probably never heard of Founding Fathers named Gamal bin Washington and Thamar Jefferson, and neither has Barack Obama. But this didn’t stop him from making the claim that “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.” While speaking in the White House’s South Court Auditorium during…

By Selwyn Duke It doesn’t require stupid people for the utterance of stupid things — just smart people embracing stupid ideology. In the wake of advocating a counter-terrorism plan mercilessly mocked by critics as a jobs-for-jihadists program, State Department spokesman Marie Harf has provided more comedic-commentary gold. Downplaying the threat posed by Islamic jihad while…

By Selwyn Duke “I was going to behead you, but I have to be at work in five minutes.” U.S. Department of State deputy spokesman Marie Harf certainly did a job on her reputation this Monday while offering an analysis that critics have mockingly dismissed as a jobs-for-jihadists solution to terrorism. While a guest on…
