By Selwyn Duke It’s a course that “weeds out the doctors from the wannabes,” wrote FastWeb last year about notoriously difficult organic chemistry. This hasn’t stopped a group of Big Apple wannabes, however, from getting an organic chemistry professor fired because his class is “too hard.” The kicker is that the professor, Maitland Jones Jr.,…

By Selwyn Duke “The business of progressives is to go on making mistakes,” noted G.K. Chesterton ages ago. Well, for one Pennsylvania woman, they just made one mistake too many. In fact, says family attorney Nicole Levitt, it’s to the point where “political liberalism seems to have passed me by.” At issue is that as…

By Selwyn Duke “What is truth?” This well-known question is what Roman governor Pontius Pilate, infamously and perhaps cynically, asked of Jesus. Yet Truth is still under attack 2,000 years later, and, warns an Ivy League professor, one front in this war is Critical Race Theory (CRT). In fact, says Randy Wayne, associate professor at…

It's an audio-book presentation of the testimonial of Fanny Kelly, a woman held captive by American Indians in the 19th century. Titled Narrative of My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians, such…

By Selwyn Duke “And my religion made me do it” said the man, while claiming to have killed two police officers.

By Selwyn Duke Talk about a lack of self-awareness. Last week on ABC’s The View, host Sunny Hostin criticized former United Nations envoy Nikki Haley for going by “Nikki” and not her first name, Nimrata, in an effort to, by Hostin’s lights, hide her ethnicity. Yet maybe the host should go by Glass House Hostin.…

By Selwyn Duke The woman some people in 2020 wanted to see a heartbeat away from the presidency has just claimed that six-week-old unborn babies with beating hearts don’t have a heartbeat. In fact, Georgia gubernatorial hopeful Stacey Abrams (D) claimed Wednesday that the fetal heartbeats in question are just an illusion foisted on America…
