  • By Selwyn Duke “Now, many experts view it as a sexual orientation as immutable as heterosexuality … a deep-rooted predisposition … that becomes clear during puberty and does not change.” The above idea was expressed with respect to homosexuality decades ago and since has become left-wing dogma. The thinking is that if someone was “born…

  • By Selwyn Duke Fast cars, fancy restaurants, opulent yachts, private planes — and child molestation. It’s not something that was ever featured on Robin Leach’s TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, but “pedophilia may be emerging as the characteristic sexual perversion of the American elite.” So says American Thinker assistant editor J.R.

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.

  • 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 Doctors’ house calls are considered a thing of the past, but not in the appointment book of Dr. Carrol Frazier Landrum, an 88-year-old physician from Edwards, Mississippi.
