Christian Suicide?

Last updated on: September 12, 2019 at 12:23 am By Kermit Zarley

Christians committing suicide? Sounds like an oxymoron. But heh, mental illness doesn’t necessarily go away when people let Jesus into their lives. I didn’t know that this month, September, is designated National Suicide Prevention Month. I knew a 36-year old professing Christian woman who sometimes had suicidal thoughts. She said she wanted to die and go to heaven to be with her deceased dad. Last year, an atheist friend of mine introduced me to a new Christian, a 60-year old... Read more

Donald Trump Is the Bonehead

Last updated on: September 11, 2019 at 1:02 pm By Kermit Zarley

President Donald Trump this morning tweeted a message calling Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell, whom Trump appointed, a bonehead for not cutting interest rates to “zero or lower.” Actually, Trump called Powell and other members of the Federal Reserve “boneheads” for it. Mind you, this comes from a businessman who declared bankruptcy four times in his career and now has over a dozen FBI investigations looking into his possible financial corruptions. What is a bonehead? It’s a “stupid person.” Donald... Read more

Straight Left Arm at Impact Is Not a Golf Myth

Last updated on: September 10, 2019 at 11:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

Golf.com has an article today that is written by PGA (not PGA Tour) golf swing instructor Baden Schaff entitled “Teacher: Why keeping your arms straight is one of the biggest myths in golf.” He writes, “One of the most common concepts I hear and see is ‘make sure you keep your arms straight!’ But this can actually be quite a dangerous concept: Straight arms can often lead to loss of power, over-active wrists and an over-active body.” I think that’s...

Will Democracy Last? Daniel Says It Will

Last updated on: September 13, 2019 at 8:14 pm By Kermit Zarley

Since Donald Trump has been U.S. president, I’ve posted four times about the present, increasing fragility of our system of democracy. (For example, see “Does President Donald Trump Believe in Our Democracy?“) But it’s not happening only here. Our #1 ally, the United Kingdom, is experiencing it as well Germany and many other places. It is a new phenomenon in the 21st century, in which right-wing populism is taking over. The last half of the 20th century was the golden... Read more

Too Many Guns

Last updated on: September 7, 2019 at 5:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

The mass shooting in West Texas on August 31 seems to have caused America to turn a corner on gun regulation along with the growing fact that Democrats are gaining a foothold in winning the 2020 election, certainly in the House, the Senate right now is up for grabs, and the presidency–go figure. Nobody thought Donald Trump win the presidency, at least early on after he threw his hat in the ring to run the race. How so? Democrats took control... Read more

C-17 Stop Near Trump Turnberry Under Investigation

Last updated on: September 6, 2019 at 8:00 pm By Kermit Zarley

It has just been reported minutes ago by Politico, and then other media sources, that Congress’ House Oversight and Reform Committee is investigating an odd stop by a C-17 Air National Guard transport plane for refueling at the small Prestwick Airport near the famous Scottish golf course resort now called Trump Turnberry, located fifty miles from Glasgow. It happened in early spring this year. The C-17 crew had made a routine trip to Kuwait to deliver supplies and was returning... Read more

How Did Jesus Dress?

I’ve been a member of the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) for twenty years. Every year SBL joins together with the American Academy of Religion (AAR) to hold their join Annual Meeting. Every year it is conducted the weekend before Thanksgiving for 4-5 days. It is always held in one of the largest cities in North America that has a downtown convention center that can accommodate our group. During these past twenty year, I’ve only missed one Annual Meeting. This... Read more

The Political Right Says, “Guns Don’t Kill People”

Last updated on: September 1, 2019 at 11:02 am By Kermit Zarley

Mass shootings are increasing in the U.S., and we are divided about the cause of them. The U.S. has more guns per capita of population and more gun violence than any other developed country in the world. Not only that, the U.S. manufactures more guns and sells and distributes them throughout the world more than any other nation. So, not only do we have a growing gun violence problem, we are exporting it around the world. The political right says,... Read more

Is President Trump Making the U.S. Greedy?

Last updated on: September 1, 2019 at 8:29 am By Kermit Zarley

I am a fierce critic of Donald Trump as president. When he started his campaign for the presidency, back in late 2015, I thought like a lot of people, that he had no chance of winning. Right away, I also started saying he was not qualified at all to be president. Of course, it is a job that is pretty hard to train for. But he ran on the assertion that Washington–with Congress experiencing a lot of gridlock–was corrupt and... Read more

Dan Rather on Trump

Last updated on: August 31, 2019 at 6:14 pm By Kermit Zarley

I follow Dan Rather on Twitter. He is a highly-respected and retired American journalist. Mr. Rather tweeted this week, “Why even bother reporting on what the president says? Headlines this morning go from Trump having second thoughts on tariffs to wishing he raised them higher. And all of this before most Americans had had their first cup of coffee.” Like I’ve been saying, you can’t hardly believe a word that man says. Plus, he’s got his people lying for him... Read more
