Zelenskyy Should Be Honored as Worldwide Man of the Year

Last updated on: March 29, 2022 at 11:31 pm   By Kermit Zarley

When Russia’s President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24th the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and his troops then began doing so and attacking Ukraine, hours later U.S. officials told Ukraine’s young and rather new President Volodymyr Zelenskyy they could immediately fly him out of Ukraine to safety. He replied, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.” In fact, the former comedian and actor had already played this part, so he knew it quite well as a courageous... Read more

Trump Phone Gap Like Butterfield Tape Gap

Last updated on: March 29, 2022 at 9:41 pm   By Kermit Zarley

It was reported today that the White House phone log on the Capitol riot day of January 6th has a seven-hour and thirty-seven minute gap in which President Donald Trump did not make or receive any phone calls. Yet before and after that time period, the same phone log shows that he had several phone calls. Experts say there may be an innocent explanation for this, since Trump was known to use other peoples’ phones in making and receiving calls.... Read more

Donald Trump Says He Doesn’t Brag

Last updated on: March 29, 2022 at 5:13 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Donald Trump says he got a hole-in-one this past Saturday while playing golf and that he doesn’t like braggers about such things; yet he still bragged about it last night by issuing a written statement about it that was published. He described the shot as follows,””It took place at Trump International Golf Course Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on the 7th hole, which was playing 181-yards into a slight wind. I hit a 5-iron, which sailed magnificently into a... Read more

“Putin’s Brain” Is Aleksandr Dugin

Last updated on: March 28, 2022 at 2:58 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Putin’s War in Ukraine is stalling as U.S. President Joe Biden flew to Europe and met with government leaders and others in Brussels, the headquarters of both the EU and NATO the past week. The agenda for discussion was Putin’s War and how they should respond to it further, applying more sanctions on Russia, weaning Europe off of Russian natural gas, and firming up the necessary unity within the EU and NATO, which latter has indeed been happening. Then Biden... Read more

Howard Stern Calls Republican Party the “Wacko Party”

Last updated on: March 28, 2022 at 11:43 am   By Kermit Zarley

I don’t listen to Howard Stern as host of his “Howard Stern Show” on Sirius XM. I have in the past watched his previous TV program a few times. He’s too far afield with bad language and such for me as a Christian. But the guy does get to the point–call a spade a spade–and thus sometimes speaks the truth. Five days ago on his radio program, as reported in the media, I think Stern nailed it by calling the... Read more

Federal Judge Says Trump Likely Tried to Obstruct Congress

Last updated on: March 28, 2022 at 10:58 am   By Kermit Zarley

Today, U.S. District Court Judge David Carter issued his written ruling, 44 pages in length, in the lawsuit accusing former President Trump’s attorney John Eastman of trying to overturn the 2020 election of Joe Biden as president. Eastman had presented Trump with a plan to get Vice President Mike Pence to reject the electoral votes, which had Biden winning the election, and calling for a reelection, and Trump following this plan on January 6th, which caused the Capitol riot. Carter... Read more

Having a Time Limit on Grieving Death

Last updated on: March 25, 2022 at 11:57 am   By Kermit Zarley

After many years of psychiatric debate about treating people who unnecessarily grieve the death of a loved one for a very extensive period of time, last week the American Psychiatric Association added a new and somewhat controversial “mental disorder” to its revised, 5th edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which is abbreviated DSM-5. It is that mourning the death of a loved one is a mental disorder that can be clinically treated as such, and the... Read more

Is Putin a “Defender of Christianity or the Most Evil Man?”

Last updated on: March 23, 2022 at 10:45 pm   By Kermit Zarley

That is what Tim Costello asks in his article published in The Guardian on March 5th. He is a fellow in the Centre for Public Christianity in Sydney, Australia. He explains how the concept of Russian World, which Russian President Vladimir Putin strongly embraces, is interwoven with the Orthodox Church. And Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, the supreme leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, said publicly ten years ago that Vladimir Putin, who had arisen out of atheistic Soviet communism, had... Read more

Trump Alleged Election Fraud Before the 2016 Election

Last updated on: March 22, 2022 at 10:12 pm   By Kermit Zarley

On October 19, 2016–thus only days before the presidential election in which Donald Trump won an upset victory over Hilary Clinton–I blogged with this title, “Trump Is Already a Bad Loser.” The piece is about the polls having Clinton in the lead and Trump claiming the election process is “rigged.” Hours later, after I posted that, on October 19, 2016, I posted another piece that was titled, “I Told You So.” It was more of the same, but with greater... Read more

Mickelson Won’t Play in the Masters

Last updated on: March 22, 2022 at 10:43 am   By Kermit Zarley

Phil Mickelson–three time winner of the Masters, winner of three other majors, and longtime fan favorite on the PGA Tour–will not play in the Masters this year, which begins April 7, because his reputation took a huge hit recently. It has caused him to hide out from the public for a while. The last time Phil Mickelson did not compete in the Masters was 1994. Lefty certainly is eligible even though he is 51 years old since he became the... Read more
