By Selwyn Duke If politics is downstream from culture, and it is, we have a lot to worry about. This is frankly because American culture has long been rotting like a 10-day-old avocado in the sun. A good example, appearing in my X notifications yesterday, is a video of a white girl sporting corn-woven hair…

By Selwyn Duke We discussed the U.S.'s moral decay, among other things. For my appearance and its introduction, fast-forward to 33:50.

By Selwyn Duke A long-growing garbage field much larger than Texas is creeping toward the United States’ west coast, and parts of it will increasingly make landfall for quite a long time. And one can’t help but think that it has come to the right place. A new book by writer Charlotte Hays entitled When…

By Selwyn Duke Upstate New York’s Catskill Mountain Range is a bucolic place near and dear to my heart. It’s where storybook character Rip Van Winkle enjoyed his legendary slumber, and its scenery hasn’t changed much since he was born of Washington Irving’s fertile imagination. Yet, like Van Winkle, if I’d fallen asleep for 20…
