SELWYN DUKE: TIME FOR SCHOOLS TO BE GUN-FREE FREE

If there’s anything the Newtown massacre has proven, it’s that school zones billed as “gun-free” cannot be guaranteed to thus be. They’re only virtually certain to be good-guy-gun-free. And it’s…...

SELWYN DUKE: WHAT DO WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR?

SELWYN DUKE: WAS THE 2012 ELECTION STOLEN?

SELWYN DUKE: OBAMA CALLING: AMERICA’S LIFE AFTER DEATH

SELWYN DUKE: THE TRUTH ON BIDEN’S ABORTION MALARKEY
