Last updated on: August 17, 2019 at 5:16 pm By Kermit Zarley

Long-hitting Justin Thomas, former #1 pro golfer in the world, turned it on today at Medinah Country Club in the Chicago area by shooting an 11-under par 61 to take a six-stroke lead into the final round tomorrow in the BMW Championship on the PGA Tour. He started the round today by birdying the first five holes and had two eagles on his back nine. I used to play Medinah Country Club in the Western Open and once in the... Read more

Is Elizabeth Warren Right–“There’s God in Every One of Us”?

Last updated on: August 17, 2019 at 12:19 pm By Kermit Zarley

When Elizabeth Warren campaigns for the Democratic nomination for president, she says repeatedly, “there’s God in every one of us.” And sometimes she adds to this, “There’s Jesus in every one of us.” She claims to have a Methodist background. So do I. But that is not what the Methodist Church, nor the Bible, teaches. The Bible begins by saying God is the Creator of “the heavens and the earth.” And the Bible says multiple times that God, whose name... Read more

“May Nazarim and Minim Instantly Perish”

Last updated on: August 15, 2019 at 11:48 pm By Kermit Zarley

Religious Jews used to be required to say a lengthy prayer every day known as the Eighteen Benedictions. It is also called The Amidah Prayer. Some think the so-called “Lord’s Prayer” that Jesus taught–recorded in Matthew 6.9-13 and Luke 11.2-4–represents somewhat of a condensation of the Amidah Prayer. Well, not quite. The twelfth of the eighteen benedictions in the Amidah Prayer is a curse against Christians and other heretics. It says, “For the apostates let there be no hope, and... Read more

What Was Sam Snead’s Famous Driver?

Last updated on: August 14, 2019 at 5:32 pm By Kermit Zarley

In the history of golf, there are some false statements made about Sam Snead’s famous driver with which he won most of his seven majors and most of his total 82 wins on the PGA Tour, which record still stands. It is correct that he used this club for many years, reportedly seventeen, in the prime of his career. But this club was not a Wilson driver as is occasionally reported. (Incidentally, I wonder if such reports were affected by... Read more

Reed Won and Simpson Cracked

Last updated on: August 13, 2019 at 10:01 am By Kermit Zarley

Patrick Reed won The Northern Trust golf tournament yesterday on the PGA Tour in Jersey City, New Jersey, by one stroke over Abraham Ancer. Jon Rahm, the 54-hole leader, finished tied for third. Reed, the 2018 Masters champ, has now won seven times on the PGA Tour. It was the first go-round for the FedExCup Playoffs. This win moved Reed into twelfth position for the President’s Cup, which is near the cutoff. Team captain Tiger Woods will have to decide... Read more

Haven’t We Been Here Before? Trump Says China Pays

Last updated on: August 5, 2019 at 3:46 pm By Kermit Zarley

U.S. President Donald Trump is throwing the world into a trade war that could seriously and negatively affect financial markets worldwide and many national economies. Its focus is the trade war between the world’s two largest financial behemoths, the U.S. and China. Trump says trade wars are “great.” Most economists disagree. How is it that Donald Trump is such an expert on so many things? President Trump and his aides say China is paying for the tariffs that Trump has... Read more

President Trump’s Golf Has Cost Tax Payers Over 3.4x What the Mueller Investigation Cost

Last updated on: August 3, 2019 at 4:04 pm By Kermit Zarley

President Donald Trump is a pretty good golfer who owns many elite golf properties. This weekend, he is spending his leisure at his most frequented golf property during his presidency, which is Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey. Since he has been president, it is his 18th trip there; and tomorrow, it will be his 67th day there. The U.S. government pays for these travel and necessary security expenses. How much does all of this cost American... Read more

Is Marianne Williamson a New Ager?

Last updated on: August 4, 2019 at 10:58 pm By Kermit Zarley

Many political pundits claim Marianne Williamson won the second round debate last night among Democrat challengers running for the 2020 U.S. presidential election that was hosted by CNN. Her only experience with politics is that she ran for a congressional seat in California in 2014 and lost. I had never heard of Marianne Williamson until the night before last night’s debate. She is a self-help psychologist of sorts who has written thirteen books, four of which have been New York Times... Read more

Why Trump Hates the Best Newspapers

Last updated on: July 31, 2019 at 5:34 pm By Kermit Zarley

President Donald Trump constantly berates America’s two best newspaper–The New York Times and The Washington Post–calling them “Fact News.” It’s because they work so hard at telling true facts, and Trump works so hard at distorting facts and telling outright lies. In fact, these two newspapers have fact-check departments that claim Donald Trump has told 10,000 lies or gross distortions of truth since he has been president, which is only 2.5 years. Does the president have any fact-checkers in his... Read more

Is Trump a Racist and Hypocrite about Baltimore?

Last updated on: July 27, 2019 at 6:03 pm By Kermit Zarley

The more Republican President Donald Trump talks and tweets, the more he sinks into the debilitating quicksand of racism, especially against blacks. Today, he blasted Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings, an African-American and chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Cummings is a strong Baptist Christian. As such, he has a lengthy political record of advocating for racial equality and judicial fairness. He represents part of the Baltimore area, where he has resided for a long time. His district is populated predominantly... Read more
