We Didn’t Listen When Trump Said He Could Shoot Somebody
Last updated on: February 1, 2023 at 12:41 am By Kermit Zarley
Early in Donald Trump’s first campaign for the U.S. presidency, on January 23, 2016, he spoke at a Christian college–Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa–and exclaimed both jokingly and egotistically, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” No, Donald, that was not okay then and it’s still not okay now. But did we really listen? The Mueller Report represented the special counsel Robert Mueller’s examination of possible collusion... Read more

Right-Wing Israel Is Headed for Annexing the West Bank
Last updated on: January 29, 2023 at 5:07 pm By Kermit Zarley
When Benjamin Netanyahu barely won Israel’s election for prime minister last November 1 for the third time, he had to form a very right-wing, extremist coalition government that included both nationalist and religious political parties that wanted to further legitimatize the Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank which comprise nearly 500,000 Jews and that are deemed illegal according to principles of the United Nations, of which Israel is a member and wants to stay a member. But some of... Read more

Max Homa Wins Farmers’ Insurance Open
Last updated on: January 28, 2023 at 6:38 pm By Kermit Zarley
Max Homa just won the Farmers’ Insurance Open, his sixth PGA Tour tournament win, by shooting a six-under par 66 for a 13-under par total of 273 at Torrey Pines Golf Course located just north of San Diego, California. He was two strokes ahead of Keegan Bradley, who finished alone at second, and Collin Morikawa finished alone at third, three shots back. Winless Sam Ryder had led the tournament all the way until he missed his drive to the right... Read more

Is Pope Francis Right, that “We Are All Children of God”?
Last updated on: January 25, 2023 at 2:30 pm By Kermit Zarley
Absolutely not! That is, if you believe the Bible. I don’t like to disagree with Christian leaders, such as Pope Francis. But Christians should let the Bible teach them both how to believe and how to live, and the Bible never says all people are “children of God.” Pope Francis has been saying this throughout his papacy. He said it again today in an interview about homosexuality. The Bible very clearly condemns homosexuality. But Pope Francis seems to have a... Read more

The Doomsday Clock Is Now Closer to Midnight than Ever Before
Last updated on: January 25, 2023 at 11:12 pm By Kermit Zarley
Since 2016, I’ve blogged five times about the Doomsday Clock, thus each time it was changed. It has been set at two minutes to Midnight for the past three years. That is the closest to Midnight that the Doomsday Clock has been since it’s inception. Today, it was set at 90 seconds to Midnight, which is now the closest to Midnight it has ever been. What is the Doomsday Clock. It is a symbolic warning of how much the world... Read more

Last updated on: January 22, 2023 at 11:57 pm By Kermit Zarley
Superstar Jon Rahm held off the challenge of rookie Davis Thompson in the PGA Tour’s American Express tournament at the Stadium Course in La Quinta, California, today to win by one stroke with a four-day total of 27-under par 261. The eight-time Tour winner Rahm and winless Thompson were tied for first place starting the day. Rahm had two early birdies and led most of the day until they were tied after 15 holes.

Trump’s Type
Last updated on: January 19, 2023 at 1:09 pm By Kermit Zarley
E. Jean Carroll, the retired columnist with Elle magazine, has two lawsuits against Donald Trump for defamation of character and rape. After much languishing regarding only one charge, on defamation, New York changed a law and both lawsuits are now proceeding swiftly in court, seemingly more in favor of Ms. Carroll now. Trump was deposed about it a few months ago, and the results were made public this week. Ms. Carroll claims that Trump raped her in a New York... Read more

More on COVID-19 and Moses’ Food Laws
Last updated on: January 12, 2023 at 12:19 am By Kermit Zarley
COVID-19 is a pandemic caused by zoonosis–the transmission of a coronavirus from an animal or animals to humans and perhaps vice versa. There is still some uncertainty about how COVID-19 started. The prevailing view among epidemiologists and other medical experts is still that it originated in China and that it was transmitted from bats to people with the possibility of an intermediary animal being involved as a reservoir, and if so it likely was a pangolin. In my book, Moses... Read more

Challenge Netanyahu to Define Eretz Yisrael
Last updated on: January 9, 2023 at 12:15 am By Kermit Zarley
Benjamin Netanyahu has served as the prime minister of the State of Israel, longer than anyone, for a total of fifteen years. About ten days ago, he was sworn in as Israel’s prime minister for an unprecedented sixth term. But to do so, he had to form a coalition government that includes numerous political parties that have at least one seat in the Knesset–Israel’s 120-seat parliament. This new, very right-wing and quite religious coalition party of Likud’s Prime Minister Netanyahu... Read more

Jon Rahm Wins Sentry Tournament of Champions
Last updated on: January 8, 2023 at 7:16 pm By Kermit Zarley
The swashbuckling, Spaniard Jon Rahm came from way behind today to win the PGA Tour’s limited-field Sentry Tournament of Champions golf tournament at Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii by two strokes over Collin Morikawa, who collapsed in the closing holes. After bogeying the first hole today, Rahm rallied to shoot a blazing ten-under par 63 while Morikawa lost his seven-stroke lead from the third hole to shoot a dismal one-under par 72. It was a nightmare finish for Morikawa, who has connections... Read more
