Donald Trump—King of All Liars!

Donald Trump proved himself last night in the first, televised debate with President Joe Biden, in preparation for the presidential election in November, that he is still indeed “the king of all liars”! It was when this very serious debate—for what many are calling America’s most important, upcoming, presidential election ever—turned to the mundane subject of … GOLF. CNN’s host Jake Tapper asked both contestants about their old age, why it would not inhibit them during one more four-year term... Read more

Former U.S. President Donald Trump—the presumed Republican nominee for the presidential election next November—has threatened to sue film director Ali Abbasi for his docu-drama entitled “The Apprentice.” It received a robust applause at the Cannes Film Festival at France in May. The film is an expose of Donald Trump’s ruthless rise to power as a real estate mogul in New York City. Rolling Stone says it is “the most brutal Donald Trump biopic imaginable.” One scene is about Donald raping... Read more

Israel’s Jewish Orthodox Men No Longer Exempt from Military

Last updated on: June 25, 2024 at 2:21 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Israel’s Supreme Court, consisting of nine judges, finally ruled unanimously today that its young men who are ultra-Orthodox are no longer exempt from compulsory military service as in the past. Since the ultra-Orthodox community in Israel now consists of 13% of the nation’s population, this court decision may result in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government falling apart, requiring another election.

Engineer Barbara Res was a vice president of the Trump Organization who worked for the company for eighteen years. She then quit, in 1998, due to Donald Trump’s alleged mistreatment of her. So, she knew The Donald quite well. Today, Ms. Res appeared on Ali Velshi’s MSNBC Velshi news TV program. The most newsworthy statement she made in her criticism of Donald Trump was that he once made a joke about Jews being gassed in the Nazi ovens of WWII.... Read more

Lousiana Requires Display of Ten Commandments in Classrooms

Last updated on: June 20, 2024 at 1:51 pm   By Kermit Zarley

“Lousiana” in this title is not a misspelling, as I will later explain. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican, signed a law yesterday requiring the Ten Commandments in the Bible—set forth in Exodus 20: 2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21—to be prominently displayed in all classrooms of all public schools in the State of Louisiana. No other U.S. state has such a mandate. This law, first passed by the Louisiana state legislature, raises many questions. The foremost is whether it violates the... Read more

Dr. Fauci “On Call”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci—the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the U.S.—became the chief medical advisor to the White House and thus the face of the pandemic to the public. It was the worst health crisis the U.S. had had since the Spanish Flu in WWI. Politically right wing America, influenced especially by television’s Fox News, which was biased toward the Republican Party, constantly attacked Dr. Fauci for his advice on... Read more

Is Pinehurst No. 2 Overrated?

Last updated on: June 16, 2024 at 11:37 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Yes, that’s what I believed before this U.S. Open began this week. And that’s what some other former PGA Tour players are now being reported as saying. Golf online says Mark Calcavecchia, a thirteen-time winner on the PGA Tour, said Thursday, “Pinehurst is such a cool area with great courses. #2 ain’t one of them. Most overrated course in the world! Lemme have it!! But it’s true.” The social media has been fired up since this afternoon about what happened... Read more
