Last updated on: May 11, 2019 at 5:41 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russian probe report, which is 448 pages, may be like The Judgement. This report says President Donald Trump told his White House lawyer Don McGahn to fire Mueller. The report then says that McGahn refused to do it and was prepared to resign. The report adds that when The New York Times reported this six months later, Trump told McGahn to inform the press that this story was untrue and that Trump did not tell McGahn... Read more

Michael Cohen Goes to Prison and Donald Trump Doesn’t

Last updated on: May 6, 2019 at 12:15 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Michael Cohen–Donald Trump’s personal “fixer” lawyer for over ten years–was incarcerated today in the Catskill Mountains at the Federal Correctional Institution facility in Ottisville, New York, a short distance from New York City where both he and Donald Trump centered their businesses for decades. Cohen will be imprisoned there for three years for being convicted of crimes of fraud for both himself in his business and for doing what President Trump told him to do. Concerning the latter, Cohen says... Read more

Kushner-Friedman Mid-East Plan Will Fail

Last updated on: May 5, 2019 at 5:19 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Another Mid-East plan is about to be announced. Do we really care? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict never ends. That’s the way so many people view it. I post often about developments regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because I wrote a book about it, and this subject relates to the Bible. In fact, the main thrust of my book is that biblical prophecies indicate that there will be a Palestinian state and it will be located in the coastal plain, thus not in... Read more

Last updated on: May 1, 2019 at 4:06 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Attorney General William Barr testified today in a public hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on his Russian probe and possible collusion by the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. This committee is chaired by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC),, President Donald Trump’s closest friend and supporter in the Senate. Early in Graham’s opening remarks he said, “The president never did anything to stop Mueller from doing his job.” I think that is a... Read more

Last updated on: May 4, 2019 at 9:15 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Dr. James D. G. Dunn is one of the foremost New Testament scholars in the world. And he is a friend of mine. I love Jimmy Dunn. I have learned so much from the times I’ve been with him, but especially from his voluminous writings. Jimmy is such a careful scholar. He is now retired but still writing. He is an Englishman, a Methodist, and a moderate evangelical. Dr. Dunn has a new book out entitled Jesus According to the... Read more

Dr. Daniel I. Block Tells How the Bible Defines “Worship”?

Last updated on: April 29, 2019 at 10:59 am   By Kermit Zarley

Daniel I. Block is a renowned Old Testament professor at Wheaton College, arguably the foremost evangelical college in the U.S. Dr. Block has written many books and journal articles and received numerous awards. This month’s Christianity Today has an article by him entitled “Worship God At All Times. If Necessary, Use Music.” It is one of the best articles on worship and ecclesiology that I have ever read. It is based on his book, For the Glory of God: Recovering a... Read more

Transparent Trump?

Last updated on: April 28, 2019 at 11:22 pm   By Kermit Zarley

When the president of the USA lies, especially about an important matter such as special counsel Robert Mueller’s almost two-year investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion with the Russians by Trump or his team, the media needs to expose President Trump about this and Trump’s transparency or lack thereof, which it has been doing. This is why Trump calls it Fake News. President Trump has been saying repeatedly concerning the Mueller report, “No Collusion,... Read more

Sleepy Joe Will Try to Dump Trump

Last updated on: April 27, 2019 at 2:18 am   By Kermit Zarley

Former multi-term Democratic Senator from Delaware and two-time Vice President Joe Biden announced Thursday his entry into the race for the 2020 U.S. presidency. He is automatically the front funner. Joe said it will be a “battle for the soul of this nation.” That was a dig against President Donald Trump, alleging that his chaotic and possible justice-obstructing governing is threatening our norms and standards of democracy guaranteed to us by our U.S. Constitution. Trump shot back Friday by saying,... Read more

Capitalization

Last updated on: April 26, 2019 at 8:57 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Politics in the U.S. has increasingly garnered our attention since Donald Trump became president. In writing about it, people are making an error about capitalizing “President.” Is it right to say “Donald Trump is the president” or “he is the President”? I’ll get into this shortly. But first, I’ll give a little background about writing and me writing. I’ve been writing serious nonfiction books for about 37 years. I started a hobby about writing a book before that, while I... Read more
