  • The Ignorance of Anti-human David Attenborough

    Back to School DuncecapBy Selwyn Duke

    Liberal icon Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, “You’re
    entitled to your own opinions, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.” But
    that was decades ago, and today more leftists than ever have graduated from
    confusion to delusion and believe they’re entitled to their own fiction.

    A good example is naturalist David Attenborough, who
    recently complained that man is a plague upon our planet. He warns that our
    burgeoning population will ensure that we consume the world’s resources like a
    sun-occluding swarm of high-tech locusts. Writes The
    Telegraph    :

  • Ten Piers Morgan Gun Lies, Untruths, and Deceptions

    Pinnochio2By Selwyn Duke

    It’s probably not quite true that gun-control advocate Piers Morgan
    has been “standing on the graves of the children of Sandy Hook,” as
    Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro put it.
    It’s more correct to say that the cheeky Brit has been standing on the
    graves of the children of Sandy Hook, jumping up and down, and stamping
    his foot. I can say nothing else about a man who repeatedly combines the
    Newtown tragedy with lies, misconceptions, and deceptions to push a
    political agenda. What am I talking about? Well, here’s a top 10 list.

    Walmart and the 100-round magazine

    Morgan wrote in the Daily Mail,
    “I can saunter into Walmart — America’s version of Tesco — and help
    myself to an armful of … magazines that can carry up to 100 bullets at a
    time.” Perhaps he could.

    But he can’t.

  • When Kids and Guns Mix

    By Selwyn Duke

    We
    all know what can happen when kids and guns mix. And today I will tell
    you some stories about that very thing. The kids' names were Kendra and
    Alyssa, and then there was the 11-year-old boy whose name we just don't
    know. What we do know is that they lived in places called Bryan County,
    Albuquerque, and Palmview. We know that guns were in their homes — and
    that something horrible befell them.

    Last
    year, 12-year-old Oklahoman Kendra St. Clair was home alone,
    unsupervised. At some point she accessed her mother's handgun – a
    .40-caliber Glock. Then Kendra pulled the trigger.

    And that bullet tore into flesh.

    You probably know the rest of the story.

    Or maybe not.

  • School Shootings Solution: Not Gun Control or Guard Patrol — Door Control

    By Selwyn Duke

    In the wake of tragic Sandy Hook, many Americans are
    desperate to prevent further school shootings. Thus do we find ourselves
    debating two very divisive ideas: gun control and armed guards in schools. But
    there is another idea, one both simple and acceptable to virtually all:
    lockable, bulletproof doors for classrooms and school entrances.

    This is a common-sense suggestion that has precedent. After
    9/11, we had similar debates to those raging now. Today we’re divided over the
    idea of arming some teachers; back then there was rancor over the idea of
    arming pilots. Of course, we did finally appoint air marshals, the equivalent of
    armed guards in schools. Yet no one had to debate what was universally self-evident:
    the need to reinforce cockpit doors.

  • When Teachers aren’t Smarter than a Fifth-grader

    By Selwyn Duke

    When I’ve written about our listing mis-education system, my
    focus has mainly been on rampant political correctness, on how students learn
    few of the right things partially because of emphasis on teaching the wrong
    things. Yet there’s another problem: in some cases the teachers couldn’t teach
    the right things even if they wanted to — they don’t know them.

    Professor Walter Williams treated this in his latest
    syndicated column, “Dishonest Educators.” He introduces the topic by talking
    about the fairly recent cheating scandals in places such as Atlanta,
    Philadelphia, Houston, New York, Detroit, and other large cities (in areas
    that, not coincidentally, also have high rates of vote fraud and other
    criminality). These are shocking instances in which teachers would commit
    transgressions such as reading answers aloud in class during the National
    Assessment of Educational Progress test. How did they justify this? Well,
    Williams quotes one teacher who told a fellow “educator,” “I had to give your
    kids, or your students, the answers because they’re dumb as hell."

  • Obama Supporters are Shocked, Shocked, I Tell You….

    By Selwyn Duke

    My mother always used to say, “Life is the best teacher.”
    Sure is — and sometimes it smacks you right upside the head. It appears this
    has happened with Barack Obama supporters now witnessing their paychecks shrink
    in the wake of tax increases. And they’re none too happy. In fact, they’re
    shocked.

    Shocked, I tell
    you.

  • American Suckers

    By Selwyn Duke

    Really, I can’t completely blame foreigners who hold us Americans in
    contempt. I know that’s a controversial statement, but my reasoning is
    explained with two questions: Do people generally respect those who
    allow themselves to be used as a doormat? And, then, how do people
    usually feel about the character of a traitor?

    Now consider what foreigners see from modern America. We not only
    allow aliens to transgress our borders and often refuse to deport them,
    but we then also sue each other, with many among us fighting tooth and
    nail for the “rights” of these interlopers. Where other nations throw
    illegal migrants out like yesterday’s trash, we’re erecting water
    stations in the southwestern desert to facilitate their invasion.

    Then there is the war on our formative religion, Christianity, and
    the attendant exalting of what had been considered foreign faiths, such
    as Islam. There are again the lawsuits, resulting in the removal of
    crosses and other historically present Christian symbols and sentiments.
    Christmas trees are renamed “Holiday” trees and schoolchildren are
    sometimes told not to write about Jesus, while a California school
    district instituted an Islamic immersion course.
    In contrast, Muslim countries tend to be chauvinistically Islamic,
    often even prohibiting the proselytization of other faiths under the
    threat of death.

    There are other examples, but suffice it to say we’re eating ourselves alive.

  • Vote-stealing Dem Pleads Guilty to Beating up Girlfriend

    By Selwyn Duke

    If you’re a Democrat operative forced to resign for
    facilitating vote fraud, what do you do for a follow-up?

    If you said brutally attack your girlfriend, cracking her
    skull, your name just might be Patrick Moran.

    And if you’ve skated on both counts, your father just might
    be Jim Moran, Democrat congressman from Virginia.

    Patrick Moran was the field director for his father’s
    campaign before the election — that is, until a sting operation caught
    him on video coaching an undercover reporter     on how to commit vote fraud.
    He sounded as if he’d already achieved semi-pro status, too. But since
    undermining our republic is obviously right up there with jaywalking, he didn’t
    have to spend any quality time basket-weaving with one of his father’s most
    reliable constituencies. And now we learn that Moran’s relational conflict
    resolution is morally congruent with his philosophy on electoral success.
    Writes Washington’s City
    Paper    :

    Moran and his girlfriend were
    fighting outside 14th Street bar The Getaway [in Columbia Heights, DC] around
    1:23 a.m. on Dec. 1, according to a police report, over Moran talking to
    another woman at the bar. Suddenly, Moran allegedly slammed his girlfriend's
    head into the bar's metal trash can cage.

    After the attack, police described
    Moran's girlfriend as "bleeding heavily from her nose and also observed
    that her nose and right eye were extremely swollen." One of the ambulance
    technicians who transported her to Howard University Hospital told police that
    Moran appeared to have broken her nose and given her a skull fracture under her
    right eye.

  • Six-year-old Suspended for Firing Assault Finger

    By Selwyn Duke

    If you want to know why we’re breeding some crazy youngsters
    nowadays, you only have to look at the adults surrounding them. A case in point
    is a Maryland elementary school that recently suspended a little child for
    using an assault finger. Writes The
    Examiner         of Washington:

    The
    6-year-old, who attends Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School in Silver Spring, made
    a gun with his hands, pointed it at another student and said "pow,"
    according to Robin Ficker, the boy's attorney. He was given a one-day suspension,
    with a conference on the matter planned for Jan. 2….

    Wow.

    He said “pow.”

    And I bet it really was “POW!”
