Engaging Life with Courage and Intelligence
Has Trump’s MAGA taken his followers and all of America into an era of madness? Is America REALLY celebrating a beautiful Sunday in a supposedly Christian country with a human cage match on the grounds of our nation’s White House? Has America devolved to become so un-Christian, unpatriotic. and disenchanted that blood sports, celebrated on…
The following video uses Trump’s “weave” technique of jumping from one topic or context to another. The underlying issue is the scourge of broken promises and dishonesty that cuts across American politics and culture. https://youtu.be/S-nt7ai27dA
The local Utah Fox Television (Fox10) reports that the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, has declassified Mormons from the ranks of Christians, and they now sit in a category outside Christianity.

The following video dramatizes catfishing in 2026: https://youtu.be/Zsu7tXSXkDc
This video focuses on the disconnect between the sacred and the profane. How and why do people who call themselves religious vote for an objectively irreligious leader? Are they in a cult? Do they cynically hold their noses, so their political or cultural beliefs trump other beliefs? Do they REALLY believe that President 47 is…

I’ve noticed a sudden silence among ordinary MAGA folks. Several months ago, I saw and heard that Trump was the country’s strongman who would solve all their problems. Today, I hear less about Trump’s solutions to their problems and more generalized anxiety and frustration. They don’t talk about Trump, except in reflexive, tribal ways. They…
Last night in my sleep, I conjured a new comical, satirical video about a fat man with an orange face named Rumpstein who wanted to take over the Little League World Series organization. In my video, he met with officials from Little League International, a nonprofit organization headquartered in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He wanted not…
