By Selwyn Duke Not too many things raise my eyebrows in these days of through-the-looking-glass America, where I fully expect up to be down, left to be right and right to be wrong. It’s not that I’m a pessimist — just a realist. And this is why hearing mainstream-media newsman Brit Hume recommend Christianity over…

By Selwyn Duke There are some things you just can’t make up — and many of them seem to originate in Berkeley, California. Berkeley really is stranger than fiction, and the latest example is a proposal to eliminate science classes at the city’s high school because, get the Digitalis, they’re too white. Thomas Lifson at…

He said, she said? If she said he said the wrong thing, what he said won’t mean anything. By Selwyn Duke We’ve all heard of hate-speech laws. Well, now France will become the first country to enact rudeness-speech laws, making it a crime to commit “psychological violence” within a relationship. In other words, if Pierre…

Sadly, the last thing has become as much a seasonal expectation as the others, and the American Communist Lawyers Union’s practice of suing our culture…

By Selwyn Duke It is a bucolic region of verdant meadows, rolling hills, and babbling brooks, a largely peaceful place where big city hustle and bustle and crime are very far away. Yet, like a pig in a beauty contest, within this pastoral setting lies something incongruent: a Jihadist training center. In this compound, women…

By Selwyn Duke "I was born with a chronic anxiety about the weather," said John Burroughs in 1877. Today, anxiety about the weather is more common than ever, although it’s not inborn but cultivated in schoolrooms, through television sets and by lying, rapacious ex-vice presidents. And I have anxiety about the weather, too — especially…

By Selwyn Duke People such as George Soros and Michael Moore certainly talk a good game, but the next Mother Teresa they are not. Mother Teresa never criticized the free-market system; wealth just wasn’t for her. Soros and Moore are quite the opposite. They will never take a vow of poverty and dedicate themselves to…

By Selwyn Duke Could you imagine being jailed simply because you decided to opt your children out of sex education? Well, this is exactly what is happening to a number of fathers in Germany. And, if certain forces in the United States have their way, such a policy could one day find its way to…
