By Selwyn Duke It’s the Northeast’s last great forest — and it’s in the crosshairs of foreign energy companies that stand to make millions by cutting away a huge swath of it and irrevocably altering its character. So say critics of the Central Maine Power Corridor, a planned project that would enable the transfer of…

By Selwyn Duke “You fundamentally can’t change sex,” said Australian “transsexual” Alan Finch in 2004. “Transsexualism was invented by psychiatrists.” Tragically, Finch has more and more company in learning this lesson the hard way. One of the latest is a girl who, after a double mastectomy, laments, “My scars are so large and I want…

By Selwyn Duke You had to be at least 60 years old to become a member of ancient Greek city-state Sparta’s ruling body. Today, some Americans want 16-year-olds to vote. But now Democrats in Congress have conjured a perhaps equally bad idea: They’ve launched “a backdoor effort to impose a de facto national curriculum,” as National…

By Selwyn Duke Since time immemorial man has recognized two sexes, male and female, and accepted that boys should be raised as boys and girls as girls. But a small though increasing number of parents are departing from this historical norm. They refuse to divulge their children’s sex — even to the children themselves —…

By Selwyn Duke In his first address to a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening, Joe Biden launched some assault words at Second Amendment rights, renewing a push to ban AR-15-class weapons and “high-capacity” magazines. But were they really “assault words”? Well, they were — as much as the rifles Biden’s handlers are targeting are…

By Selwyn Duke It was back in 2013 that the Supreme Court of Canada stated, astoundingly, that the Truth was not a defense against “hate crime” charges. Now this philosophy may be manifesting itself in Spain, where a populist political party daring to claim that migrants get more government money than retirees is being investigated…

By Selwyn Duke “Where’s the beef?!” asked 81-year-old Clara Peller in a famous 1984 advertising campaign. She probably never imagined where it one day wouldn’t be: on the pages of a company whose business is publishing food recipes. Condé Nast cooking brand “Epicurious” announced the decision in a Monday piece entitled “The Planet on the Plate: Why Epicurious…

By Selwyn Duke In a January 1931 debate with writer G.K. Chesterton, famed “monkey trial” lawyer Clarence Darrow essentially stated that science had refuted religion. In fact, his implication was that science could replace religion. It may seem ironic that the debate’s topic was “Will the World Return to Religion?” and that now, 90 years…

By Selwyn Duke Before she was a Supreme Court justice, in 2001 already, Sonya Sotomayor claimed that a “wise Latina” judge would tend to “reach a better conclusion than a white male.” Now we’re hearing this prejudiced sentiment from many quarters. The latest is from Joe Biden’s (handlers’) State Department, where appointees have decried “white…
