Although many Americans think in binary terms, our cultural, religious, and political landscapes are multifaceted and more complicated than most think. Many believe there is a lockstep MAGA movement among Evangelicals that does not exist.

There are rising numbers of American men under 40 who remain unmarried, unpartnered, and unattached, yet seek female companionship. There have always been unmarried men, but the recent increase in their numbers is notable. This video touches on another increasingly frequent occurrence: catfishing.

I created the following video to transform our President’s deadly actions into a tragicomedy as a way to cope with his clear mental problems. Humor acts…
It is impossible to understand or reduce myself to the depths of depravity and ungodliness of our current president. However, it is what it is. The president posted the following to his Truth Social account. This image looks like it was created from someone in the newly created US Department of WAR. Do we see…
