By Selwyn Duke The tagline “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” shouldn’t apply to our nation’s absolute worst mass shooting. Yet five years after millionaire and avid gambler Stephen Paddock murdered 60 people and wounded 850, raining down terror from a Las Vegas high-rise window, we still don’t know his motive. This reality has,…

By Selwyn Duke Sooner or later you must pay for every good deed? This may be the message one hapless boy got after he received a lecture from his woke mother — for getting an award for 100-percent school attendance. It was one incident, but it reflects a wider rot affecting our society. At issue…

By Selwyn Duke With news that Israeli intelligence has detected an “irregular presence” of nuclear-capable Russian bombers near Finland and retired general David Petraeus casually saying NATO would likely sink Vladimir Putin’s Black Sea fleet if Russia used a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine, it’s perhaps time for a few questions: First, can we discuss…

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…

By Selwyn Duke Swedish medical authorities have just done a u-turn, recommending restraint on prescribing children “trans” drugs. In England, a major clinic providing such (Tavistock) is poised for closure and is the target of a class-action lawsuit. And people in general are leery of the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) agenda. But this…

By Selwyn Duke “Childless Randi has a child's understanding of US history.” So said columnist Derek Hunter, joining others in criticizing teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten for sending a tweet so historically illiterate that many find it unfathomable she’s an educator. The Post Millennial reports on the story, writing that “Weingarten, the progressive president of…

By Selwyn Duke The video at the bottom of this article was in my YouTube suggestions a while back, and it truly is interesting. 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. Given all we hear nowadays about “Christian nationalism,” a New York Times reader might fancy the perp a follower of Jesus. Or, in light of Joe Biden’s recent blood-red-background speech in which he warned…
