By Selwyn Duke Long before Hillary Clinton became aWhitewater girl she was a Goldwater girl. She even read the 1964 Republican nominee’s book Conscience of a Conservative before becoming what critics would say is a conscienceless leftist. But while Rodham (her maiden name) had to content herself with being a school Young Republican, today politically…

By Selwyn Duke Does Hillary Clinton accept the idea of profiling Muslims? Apparently the answer is yes — at least insofar as the 2001 Hillary goes. Because while being interviewed by This Week’s Sam Donaldson the Sunday after 9/11, then-Senator Clinton was quite amenable to the idea. Perhaps we can say, she was for it…

But now bureaucrats at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) may be red-faced — as a federal court just ruled that the government may not deny trademark protection based on the notion that a mark is “disparaging.”…

A very merry and blessed Christmas to you and yours. And keep Christ in Christmas! Selwyn Duke

The Barack Obama administration has spent $700 million since 2012 promoting the homosexuality agenda overseas — with more than half of that sum being spent in sub-Saharan Africa — and has nothing to show for it except more anti-homosexuality laws…

By Selwyn Duke We’ve been told they’re fleeing war. But some Muslim migrants entering Europe are apparently bringing war — a war for the hearts and minds of Westerners. And one Syrian migrant has admitted as much, telling an Arabic television station that he wasn’t driven to the Old World mainly by fear of death…

By Selwyn Duke “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” said Barack Obama at a 2008 fund-raiser. No one troubled over that comment, but the same cannot be said of an utterance by another president, who, according to some, shot his mouth off. University of Iowa’s new president, Bruce Harreld…

By Selwyn Duke I want to let everyone know that a fellow writer, whom I've long respected, has a new book out. His name is Dr. Jack Kerwick, a philosopher and social commentator who is published at some of the websites that carry my work. His book is titled The American Offensive: Dispatches from the…
