Trump’s Poor Geography

Last updated on: June 18, 2026 at 11:46 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

On February 28, U.S. President Donald Trump foisted “a war of his choosing,” as many call it, on Iran, with Israel as its accomplice. He did this without consulting the U.S. Congress in accordance with the U.S. Constitution based on the definition of war. Trump said it was not a war but an “military operation.” Sounds like he got that from his dictator buddy the Russian President Vladimir Putin. Signing the Memorandum of Understanding Tuesday, two days ago, while attending... Read more

What Is “Easy Believism” that Is Rampant in Christianity?

Last updated on: June 15, 2026 at 11:12 pm By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

In the over 2,oo0 years of the history of Christianity, the church has swung like a pendulum between law and grace, between legalism and easy believism multiple times. “What’s that,” you say? Law Versus Grace Legalism is the requirement to meet certain standards the church decides for attaining salvation and/or living a Christian life. For example, when I was a young Christian, the church was still mired in the debate between law and grace. Some fundamentalist Christians were legalists, alleging... Read more

Is Trump Losing It?

U.S. President Donald Trump turned eighty years old yesterday. When his second presidential term comes to an end, in 2.5 years from now, he will be the oldest president in U.S. history. Many Americans and some doctors are questioning Trump’s health, especially whether he is in the early stages of dementia, since his father suffered from it and died from it. Thus, many Americans are wondering is Trump is “losing it” mentally and perhaps physically. But there is another way... Read more

On very short notice, the extremely deadly Ebola virus is spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa. It kills about half of the people who contract it. Deputy director of the World Health Organization, Alan Gonzales, says it is spreading faster than any previous case of Ebola, and he called it “deeply alarming.” The U.S. Has Imposed Travel Bans Due to this Outbreak of Ebola Containing Ebola is very difficult.

Comparing Memorial Day to God’s Day

Last updated on: May 25, 2026 at 7:02 pm By Kermit Zarley

Today is Memorial Day, when Americans remember members of our armed forces, veterans, and especially those who fought and died. We pay tribute to them for serving to protect our nation. Although I am a Christian who advocates for peace, I believe that this side of glory, nations need to have their own police force and military force. That’s why I served in the Army and Air Force many years ago, though as a medic. When Jesus Will Be King... Read more

Aaron Rai Wins 108th PGA Championship Aaron Rai, of Indian descent from England, won the PGA Championship minutes ago at Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. He shot a blazing 5-under par 65, tied for the lowest score of the day, to win with a 9-under par total 271 by three strokes over Alex Smalley and John Rahm.

Could Iran Force Creation of a Palestinian State?

Last updated on: May 16, 2026 at 7:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

When the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in late February, Iran retaliated by effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz. That had never happened before even though this Strait is recognized as the world’s #1 chokepoint for ocean-going, commercial vessels. About 130 such ships had been passing through this Strait daily as the only exit from the Persian Gulf. Dozens of them have been supertankers carrying crude oil to nations that desperately depend on this natural resource they don’t have. Iran... Read more

Mark Twain Advised the Questioning of Majority Opinion

Last updated on: April 23, 2026 at 11:03 pm By Kermit Zarley

Mark Twain grew up in the South, in Hannibal, Missouri. That is where my book, Palestine Is Coming, was published. He lived on the Mississippi River, witnessing the harsh racial discrimination of slavery, which most people there accepted. In his books, especially his classic novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, he exposed such ills of majority opinion with deft wisdom, humor, and sarcasm. He once wrote, Whenever you find yourself on the side of... Read more

This may not be news to those who read the news, but it nevertheless seems shocking to me. A lot of people don’t care much about having kids anymore. Wow! Kids make life more enjoyable. I’ve got three and six grandkids. I’d feel pretty lonely without them. Try getting old and not having family loved ones. I’m glad I’m not there. God Said “Be Fruitful” and “Multiply” Having children is one of the first commands God gave to humans, recorded... Read more
