Because while the recent decades’ decline in frog populations has been blamed on “global warming,” it turns out there’s another culprit, perhaps the most embarrassing one the warmists could…

By Selwyn Duke “I can hardly imagine any laws so bad, to which I would not rather be subject than to the caprice of a man,” said British philosopher John Stuart Mill. Yet the caprice of a man was precisely what Americans were subjected to on Tuesday, when a federal judge ruled that while President…

By Selwyn Duke Whille mass killers generally have guns in their hands, another commonality is that they often have psychiatric drugs in their blood. The difference, though, is that it isn't guns that have the side effect of "homicidal ideation." If you develop digestive problems after a change in diet, do you look for the…
