COVID-19: Part 5: Did Trump’s Tariff War Cause China to Reject U.S. Help for COVID-19?

Last updated on: June 20, 2022 at 11:21 pm By Kermit Zarley

Since the 1980s, real estate tycoon Donald Trump of New York City had trumpeted that the U.S. should reduce its trade deficit with China by starting a trade war with China. And when Trump campaigned for the U.S. presidency, in 2015-16, he said if he became president he would do that, alleging China had “ripped off” the U.S. for years. Trade disputes between nations are supposed to be brought before the World Trade Organization (WTO) for arbitration. But Trump has... Read more

COVID-19 Part 3: Lindsey Graham Says, “China–Don’t Eat Bats!”

Last updated on: June 20, 2022 at 11:18 pm By Kermit Zarley

Today, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham called on President Donald Trump to demand of China’s President Jinping Xi to “crack down” on their “wet markets” where exotic, wild animals, both live and their carcasses, are sold. It reportedly is an $85 billion annual industry. They are used for both human consumption and in traditional Chinese Medicine. This coronavirus, called COVID-19, that the world is now suffering as a pandemic, is believed to have originated from bats sold at the Huanan Seafood... Read more

Trump Has Dropped the Ball about this Coronavirus

Last updated on: March 29, 2020 at 10:09 pm By Kermit Zarley

Today, President Donald Trump finally admitted that the U.S. likely will suffer 100,000 to 200,000 deaths from this coronavirus pandemic that the whole world is undergoing. He said if we have only 100,000 deaths from it, his administration will have done “a very good job.” And he extended the federal guideline of people practicing social distancing to April 30. Thus, he also abandoned his desire of seeing churches packed out on Easter Sunday, April 12, as if he was trying... Read more

Trump’s Trying to Give Christians the Coronavirus

Last updated on: March 28, 2020 at 10:56 pm By Kermit Zarley

Several state governors recently have ordered their citizens to remain in their homes to avoid getting the furiously-spreading coronavirus. This “lockdown” now consists of half of all Americans. In these states, public transportation is shut down and businesses are closed. Their employees have been sent home or are working from their homes when possible. The only exceptions are “essential” businesses that remain open, such as groceries, pharmacies, and hospitals. Yet today, the clown in the White House–who at first so... Read more

New Coronavirus Golf Rule

Last updated on: March 22, 2020 at 9:05 pm By Kermit Zarley

This coronavirus crisis is so depressing! But golf has come along to give us a little humor about it. Despite all of the professional and amateur sports organizations cancelling the playing of their competitions due to the current coronavirus pandemic, called COVID-19, the United States Golf Association U.S.G.A) is bucking the tide by encouraging golfers to keep playing. Evidence of this is that the U.S.G.A released a statement today about a new and temporary rule for “holing out.” To play... Read more

Does Trump Know Gates Warned about This?

Last updated on: March 22, 2020 at 1:35 pm By Kermit Zarley

President Trump keeps trying to deflect criticism against him for his mishandling of this coronavirus pandemic. Indeed, at first he said Democrats were blowing it out of proportion, calling it their “new hoax.” That’s because he had constantly called the Mueller investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election “a hoax” and “a witch hunt.” So, he started doing the same thing regarding the spreading of this most deadly coronavirus. He lies about it. Thursday, Trump was at it... Read more

COVID-19 Part 2: China Needs Exposure to Religious Jews

Last updated on: June 20, 2022 at 11:15 pm By Kermit Zarley

This post is a followup to yesterday’s post, “COVID-19 and Jewish Dietary Laws.” In it, I compare COVID-19 and some recent virus epidemics with Jewish dietary laws first set forth in the Jewish scriptures, in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. I do it because scientists have discovered that some of these virus epidemics have been traced to the human interaction and even consumption of animals that these scriptures declare as “unclean” and therefore forbidden for human consumption, such as pigs...

The Current Coronavirus Pandemic It seems to me that the current coronavirus pandemic, called COVID-19, that the world is experiencing may prove the existence of the God of Israel. I don’t mean exactly as divine judgment imposed upon us, but that it may have occurred due to the failure of humans to observe, to a certain extent, the dietary laws that Israel’s God gave his people, the Hebrews, and that are...

Coronavirus Taking Its Toll

Last updated on: March 18, 2020 at 7:02 pm By Kermit Zarley

In only a few weeks, the coronavirus pandemic, called COVID-19, is taking its toll on the U.S. and nations throughout the world like nothing we have ever seen before. It started in China, and I intend to post something about that soon. Surprising to most of us Americans, this virus is now exposing the U.S. as being, contrary to what President Trump has been saying until this week, seriously inefficient in having a protective health system against viruses.

Mexico May Pay for the Wall after All!

Last updated on: March 14, 2020 at 7:45 pm By Kermit Zarley

Mexico may need to build that wall on the U.S.-Mexico border that U.S. President Donald Trump is always harping about that he is trying to get built. He’s doing it to keep immigrants from illegally crossing from Mexico into the U.S., mostly to find a better a life. In Trump’s political campaign for the U.S. presidency during late 2015, he proclaimed publicly for the first time that Mexico was to blame for “tremendous infectious disease . . . pouring across...
