  • Liberal BBC Asks, “Is Sport Sexist?” While Promoting Inequality

    By Selwyn Duke It long ago became clear to me that, despite all the pretense, protesting and politicking, no one who has ever seriously thought about equality actually believes in it. When making this case, one could point to how Eric Holder’s DOJ is currently suing the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally (how…

  • Women More Likely to Commit Domestic Violence, Studies Show

    By Selwyn Duke Football player Ray Rice’s video-captured February attack on his then-fiancée has once again brought domestic violence into the public’s consciousness. Or has it? Critics would say that while it has placed a spotlight on violence against women, that isn’t at all synonymous with “domestic violence.” Because studies show that most domestic violence…

  • Who Abuse Women More, Liberal or Conservative Men?

    By Selwyn Duke "Is that all you got, George?” “You punch like a sissy,” Muhammad Ali said, taunting George Foreman during their 1974 heavyweight title fight. Little did anyone know, however, that Ali’s words were stinging women like a bee, making violence against them more likely. That’s a theory, anyway, disgorged by football commentator James…

  • Religion: Crutch for the Crazy or Panacea for Peon and Prince?

    By Selwyn Duke “Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers,” said then-Minnesota governor and ex-professional wrestler Jesse Ventura in 1999. It’s a common idea. Atheism’s point man Richard Dawkins has called even disorganized religion a crutch, author Robert Heinlein expressed this secular tenet through one of…

  • If You Want to Get into a Really Big War, Elect a Liberal

    By Selwyn Duke If I pointed out that involvement in every major 20th-century conflict the US was part of occurred on liberals’ watch, it might not be entirely fair. True, there was WWI under Wilson, WWII under FDR, Korea under Truman, and Vietnam under Kennedy and Johnson. But the second Great War needed to be…

  • Scottish Independence and the Failure of Multiculturalism

    By Selwyn Duke We’re supposed to be living in the era of consolidation of power. There’s the European Union and the euro, NAFTA and ambitions for a North American Union, and former Israeli president Shimon Peres even floated the idea of a UN-style Organization of United Religions. And isn’t this the tide of history? Just…

  • Barack Obama Is Bringing Disease to America

    By Selwyn Duke With a southern border so unguarded that even a federal bulletin has warned that it may be the source of an imminent terrorist attack, there is strong suspicion that another threat has crossed it: disease. News stories have appeared recently about a strange outbreak across the Midwest of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), which…

  • Islam’s White-slave Trade in the U.K.

    By Selwyn Duke Imagine you’re an 11-year-old working-class girl. Like so many children in this troubled world, maybe you don’t get the attention you crave at home. Or perhaps you’re just a normal early adolescent yearning to feel like an adult. So along comes a boy, older than you are but still a lad, who…

  • Eric Holder’s DOJ Suing Police for Treating Women Equally

    By Selwyn Duke If you thought discriminating against women could get you in trouble today, try treating them equally. The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) is learning this the hard way. The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit in late July to end the PSP’s practice of requiring that all state-police applicants, be they male…

  • UK Woman Who Reported Muslim Pedophilia Forced Into “Diversity Training”

    By Selwyn Duke “You must never [again] refer to Asian men,” and your “awareness of ethnic issues” needs to be raised. This chastisement was given to a UK Home Office researcher who, apparently, was thought guilty of “racism.” Her offense? She blew the whistle on a pedophilia ring in the English town of Rotherham. One…
