Last updated on: March 30, 2019 at 11:52 am   By Kermit Zarley

Tiger Woods just defeated Rory McIlroy 2&1 on the 17th hole at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Championship in Austin, Texas. It was a feature match because Tiger Woods has won 14 major championships in pro golf and Rory McIlroy has won four of them. Some other winners of their matches in the field of 16 players this morning were Kevin Na, Louis Oosterhuizen, and Kevin Kisner. It advanced them into the quarterfinals (8 players) for this afternoon along with... Read more

Walls and Fences in the 21st Century (Part 4 of 18)

Last updated on: March 27, 2019 at 8:50 am   By Kermit Zarley

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Illegal Immigration and Global Warming Another problem that could greatly increase illegal immigration in the future is global warming. When the concept of global warming was first broached by some climatologists not many years ago, most people shrugged it off as nonsense and simply didn’t believe it was happening. But that is no longer true. There is a huge consensus among the world’s leading scientists that earth’s... Read more

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Illegal Immigration and Border Security That is what some people in the world are crying out nowadays—“Don’t fence me in.” It certainly is happening in communistic North Korea. But more people are shouting, “Don’t fence me out.” Fences and walls are going up all over the world in order to create border security. “Security” has become the watchword for nations everywhere. It’s also a rallying cry for... Read more

[For an explanation of these posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/19.] “Don’t Fence Me In” When I was a full time professional golfer on the regular PGA Tour, from 1964 through 1982, I competed every year in the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur golf tournament. It was conducted on the beautiful and picturesque Monterey Peninsula in Northern California. Bing Crosby—an avid golfer for whom the tournament was named—was America’s beloved crooner and a charming Hollywood movie star during the mid-twentieth... Read more

Walls and Fences in the 21st Century (Part 1 of 18)

Last updated on: March 27, 2019 at 1:27 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Introduction Republican President Donald Trump is in a squabble with mostly Democratic members of Congress about building a wall on the U.S. southwestern border with Mexico to stop the ongoing problem of illegal immigration into the U.S. from Central and South American countries. Trump recently has argued that it is a “national emergency.” Democrats generally are opposed to solving this problem by constructing a physical barrier such as a wall, and some are opposed to a fence. They generally say... Read more

Mueller’s 2017 Commencement Speech at Tabor Academy

Last updated on: March 24, 2019 at 8:58 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Friday, Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered to Attorney General William Barr his report of his nearly two-year investigation into possible collusion/conspiracy between President Donald Trump and his associates with Russians meddling in the presidential election in 2016 for the purpose of trying to get Trump elected. All this time, Mueller has kept quiet, doing his job that he was appointed to do by acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. And that was even though President Trump constantly accused Mueller’s investigation of... Read more

Words of Wisdom by Senator Patrick Leahy

Last updated on: March 24, 2019 at 12:13 am   By Kermit Zarley

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) made what I think are some wise statements today. He and many others are calling for Attorney General William Barr to released the entire Mueller report of his investigation into possible collusion between President Donald Trump or his associates and Russians concerning the 2016 presidential election which he just submitted to Barr yesterday. Leahy spoke in the context of President Nixon resigning the presidency back in 1974 due to the Watergate break-in and his attempts to... Read more

Barbara Streisand Comments on Michael Jackson Accusers

Last updated on: March 23, 2019 at 11:51 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Barbara Streisand came under severe criticism due an interview she gave Friday with the Times of London about Wade Robson and James Safechuck accusing Michael Jackson of sexually molesting them over an extended period of time when they were young boys during the late 1980s and early 1990s, at ages 7 and 9, respectively. They testify often in a two-part, four-hour documentary film entitled “Leaving Neverland.” It first showed at the Sundance Film Festival last year and won honors. Then,... Read more

Chris Anderson is the curator of TED, a non-profit organization that promotes innovative thinking and entrepreneurship. He recently interviewed Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Space X. Musk told Anderson he attributes his success to mostly two things: hard work (1oo hours per week the past 15 years, which he recently scaled back to 85 hours) and First Principles Thinking. (This info is taken from an online article today by Business Insider.) “the practice of actively questioning every assumption you... Read more

Trump the Draft Dodger Insults Dead War Hero John McCain

Last updated on: January 30, 2021 at 1:13 am   By Kermit Zarley

U.S. President Donald Trump spoke at a military facility in Ohio, yesterday. Once again, he insulted recently deceased Senator John McCain of Arizona, where I live. He also did it last weekend on Twitter. Trump has been doing this often, but it was most disgusting for him to do so while speaking to the troops, who reportedly remained stone silent. How embarrassing for our young members of the military to have to hear that from their Commander-in-Chief. Trump said of... Read more
