Heh Trump! Kaitlan Collins had a happy, beautiful face on tonight. What did your sourpuss look like? In case you’ve been hiding under a rock this year, President Donald Trump has been blasting CNN’s news anchor journalist who is as cool as a cucumber in standing up to Trump in a very civil manner, bringing us the truth about him. Trump has constantly accused Ms. Collins of telling lies on air about him. He said she is “dumb and unhappy”... Read more

Israel Election Resulted in No Winners Except Arabs

Democratic Israel politics is different from our mostly two-party system in the U.S. The Israeli electorate does not vote for individual politicians like we do in the U.S.; rather, Israel votes for political parties. Israel has many political parties that vie every election to gain a foothold in governing the country. And some of these political parties are Palestinian since Palestinians comprise 20% of Israel’s total citizenry. A Coalition Must Have at Least 61 Seats to Govern Israel’s election last... Read more

I Bet Pope Leo Didn’t Vote for Trump’s Picks

I like Pope Leo. Seems like a pretty regular guy for a pope. Best of all, he’s an American. First time for that! First Time for a Pope to Vote in a U.S. Election Yes, it is being reported that Pope Leo pre-voted in our mid-term election scheduled next Tuesday. First time for that, too! American citizen Robert Francis Prevost—the pope from Chicago—asked for a ballot on October 3 this year. His brother John traveled to Rome in past days... Read more

Trump Is Changing the USA from Being a Good Samaritan

Last updated on: October 19, 2026 at 11:15 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, in front of the White House before the media, President Donald Trump spit out another one of his constant lies by saying of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine that its President Volodymyr Zelensky “doesn’t want to end this war and probably never did.” Donald Trump is just like I blogged back on May 20, 2016, when he was conducting his first political campaign for the U.S. presidency. I wrote, “I think Donald Trump is a big bag of... Read more

U.S. President Trump Keeps Looking Like a Russian Asset

The United States of America was largely formed by Europeans migrating here. Same for Canada. Thus, Europe and Canada have been the USA’s foremost allies in the world, especially the UK and then France. For example, the U.S. used its military power in coming to aid of Europe during WWII to defeat Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party from taking over all of Europe. Afterwards, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed as a military defense alliance that included... Read more

Trump’s Desperate Moves Before Mid-Term Election Are Hurting

U.S. President Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran has always been against the American majority as well as the majority of members of Congress. And as he refuses to extricate the U.S. from this war, he makes desperate decisions that further alienate the voting public with only three weeks left before the mid-term election. Republicans have had control of both houses and backed Trump’s decisions. Polls show Democrats will take control of the House and possibly the Senate. If... Read more

Family Estrangement Versus Honoring Father and Mother

Last updated on: October 13, 2026 at 11:18 am   By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

Socialists claim the U.S. is experiencing a tipping point in family estrangement that began to accelerate during the pandemic, in about 2021, and is now going full blast. It is being generated mostly by children accusing their parents of abuse, resulting in distancing themselves from their parents, perhaps even to the point of disowning them. For, the definition of “estrangement” is to treat a person as “a stranger.” It usually involves a reduction of family relationships, with little or no... Read more

Do Plants Experience Consciousness?

Last updated on: October 1, 2026 at 8:19 pm   By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

Some plant biologists now claim that due to recent botanical studies, plants have consciousness. Of course, it depends on how you define consciousness. But what they are saying seems to challenge a most traditional fundamental of biology—that an organism must have a central nervous system to experience consciousness. Moreover, these researchers claim that plants may even have memory and communicate with each other. What a strange world we live in if true: plants talking to each other without us hearing... Read more

Christians Are Not Sexual Prudes as the Media Often Claims

  F-U-N-N-Y!!! GOOD GOING AMERICAN CHRISTIAN COUPLES for not being sexual prudes in the bedroom—as the media constantly has made you out to be for what seems forever—at least according to a new study by a respected publication. And this is so while American couples in general, and not just here in the U.S., reportedly are having less sex, called “the sex recession.” And here I thought there was a sex obsession.
