Israel and Lebanon Sign Historic, Maritime Borders Deal

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:50 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid–who faces reelection next Tuesday–successfully accomplished an U.S.-assisted signing of an Israel-Lebanon maritime border agreement yesterday that took 11 years to be completed. The two nations had been in dispute of their maritime border in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea for decades. The significance of this deal is that the U.S. Geological Survey has identified the Eastern Mediterranean seabed as holding some of the most vast fossil fuel deposits in the world. Israel first discovered offshore natural... Read more

NASA to Investigate UFOs

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:50 am By Kermit Zarley

Tomorrow, NASA begins a new program of investigating Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). However, that’s old hat. The U.S. government now prefers to identify such objects as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). NASA has put together a large team of illustrious, independent scientists who will examine unclassified data regarding UAPs for the next nine months. The project will end with a report that will guide future NASA study of this aerial phenomena. The director of this study is Daniel Evans, the assistant... Read more

Why Charles Darwin Was Agnostic?

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:50 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

In at least modern times, the Englishman Charles Darwin (1809-1882) has been the most influential person regarding the origin of the human species. As a naturalist and biologist, and then a geologist, he postulated evolutionary biology–that all biological life descended from a single, common ancestor. Yet in Darwin’s early adult life, he was a professing Christian, and his mother and wife were devout Christians and churchgoers. So, how did Charles Darwin go from firmly professing to being a Christian to... Read more

Did Jesus Abolish Moses’ Food Laws?

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:50 am By Kermit Zarley

I wrote my book, Moses Predicted COVID-19, hurriedly during the early months of COVID-19, thus in the spring of 2020. I explain in the preface that I did so because of the pandemic and that I was limited in my research due to libraries being closed from the nation’s shutdown. The thesis of my book is that there is a mysterious connection between the past nine pandemics–from the Spanish Flu of 1918 to the present–and Moses’ food laws about eating... Read more

Trump’s Anti-Semitic Remarks Yesterday

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:50 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has a history of making public remarks that most people consider anti-Semitic even though he has had close relations when some Jewish men, such as his lawyers Roy Cohn and Michael Cohen and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Donald Trump attacked American Jews yesterday on his Truth Social platform. He said they “must get their act together before it’s too late.” Too later for what? Same ole’ Donald Trump–his incoherent speech leaves his listeners guessing what he... Read more

This Is National Book Month, and My Favorite Authors Are Brown and Dunn

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:50 am By Kermit Zarley

October is National Book Month in the USA. It is a time to honor the best books and authors. If you want to get smart, read books. But it will help more if you don’t just read fiction books. How so? Publishers that make non-fiction books get experts to write them because it’s a business, and if they just get anybody who is not an expert to write on some topic, that publisher likely will soon go bankrupt. So, you’ll... Read more

Pelosi Is a Star for Saying She’d Punch Out Trump

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:50 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

I’ve blogged before about my respect for House Speaker and Democrat Nancy Pelosi, how she “prays” for Trump while he denies it. Yet we all have experiences about how we wish people well, maybe even pray for them, yet at other times we might feel like Pelosi, that she’d like to punch the guy out. That’s what we learned yesterday from the Select Committee investigating the Capitol riots on January 6th. Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra, an HBO film maker, was there... Read more

January 6th House Committee Finale Was Today

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot held its last, televised meeting today from 1:00 PM to 3:33 PM with a ten-minute mid-term recess. The first half was largely a review of the committee’s past work with some new video and emails. The primary thrust of the hearing was that former President Donald Trump was the foremost person trying to overturn the 2020 election result which Joe Biden won. The committee showed substantial evidence in which Trump... Read more

Israel and Lebanon on the Brink of a Mediterranean Gas Deal

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:50 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

The Eastern Mediterranean Seabed contains considerable natural gas wealth for Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus, and somewhat for Turkey. But toxic politics between these countries, which involves disputes about offshore national boundaries, has held up exploration and therefore the attaining of wealth for some of these countries, especially Lebanon. Israel has been drilling and producing natural gas from offshore fields for over two decades. And so has Cyprus, though not as long. But poverty-stricken Lebanon has not. Israel and Lebanon do not...

Tom Kim Wins Shriners Children’s Open

Twenty-year old, fledgling, pro golf star Tom Kim won his second PGA Tour tournament yesterday–the Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas by three strokes over the embarrassed, eight-time PGA Tour winner Patrick Cantlay because of a bad drive on the last hole. Both players had started the day tied for the lead at 19-under par total. So, they were playing together in the last threesome. When they reached the 18th tee, they were still tied, well in...
