By Selwyn Duke Imagine you get into a loud argument in your home with an adult son. Though it’s resolved peacefully, the police had been called. They then confiscate your legal firearms and ammunition — valued at $100,000. Even though you’ve been convicted of nothing. Even though you weren’t even charged. And here’s the kicker:…

By Selwyn Duke “Je ne suis pas Fox News!” seems to be the attitude of Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. She threatened to sue the station last week over its reporting on her city’s “no-go zones,” areas where non-Muslims are wary to tread but that Hidalgo claims don’t exist. Said she, “When we're insulted, then I…

By Selwyn Duke The government officials allegedly asked 10-year-old students what lesbians “did.” Another bureaucrat queried a young boy on what a Muslim was. And, apparently, they didn’t get the answers they wanted. Because one Christian school is now being actively monitored by the state — and another is going to be shut down. The…

By Selwyn Duke “You’re a fascist!” “You’re a racist, sexist, bigoted homophobe!” Media bias often leads to the thoughtless hurling of names, but reporters can’t help but exhibit a negative bias when they don’t know what the names mean in the first place. A good example is the reportage on Europe’s burgeoning anti-Islamization movements, such…

By Selwyn Duke “There’s a common cause that bonds the black United States attorney with the black criminal.” These words, according to Department of Justice whistleblower J. Christian Adams, were uttered by none other than Attorney General Eric Holder. And now another former government official is blowing the whistle — and blowing off some righteous…

By Selwyn Duke Aside from saying he “vomits” on his magazine’s new supporters, Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Bernard Holtrop lamented in a recent interview that the January 7 attack on his magazine would help Marine Le Pen’s National Front Party (NF). This is nothing new for Charlie journalists, by the way; while they’ve become a symbol…
