DeChambeau and the PGA Need to Grow Up for the Ryder Cup

Last updated on: August 11, 2021 at 4:12 pm By Kermit Zarley

The question is still in the air about unvaccinated Bryson DeChambeau and the upcoming, biennial Ryder Cup–the most emotional tournament in golf. It is a series of 28 matches that will be played over three days, beginning September 24, between the twelve best American pro golfers on the PGA Tour and the twelve best players from Europe. This year, the Ryder Cup will be staged at the difficult, championship course Whistling Straights in Wisconsin. The Ryder Cup rotates between being... Read more

UN Climate Report Anticipates the Bible’s Judgment Day

Last updated on: August 10, 2021 at 8:01 am By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued its long-awaited, sixth Assessment Report on global warming caused mostly by humans burning fossil fuels–mainly coal, oil, and natural gas–to produce energy to heat and cool our buildings and motor for transport. This report is most alarming. It says some climate change is now “irreversible for centuries to millennia.” Earth’s atmosphere is now two degrees hotter than it was since the late 19th century, when the Industrial Revolution...

Ancer Had the Answer at St. Jude Today

Last updated on: August 9, 2021 at 12:38 am By Kermit Zarley

Abraham Ancer won the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational today in a three-way playoff with Sam Burns and Hideki Matsuyama for his first win on the PGA Tour. I sunk a six-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole, the par four 18th hole at the TPC Southland golf course in Memphis, Tennessee. After Ancer calmly rolled his birdie putt in the hole, Sam Burns then putted from six inches closer and on the same line. But his ball curved around... Read more

Trump Put U.S. Behind Europe and China on Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles

Last updated on: August 5, 2021 at 10:58 pm By Kermit Zarley

Donald Trump, in his first campaign for the U.S. presidency, in 2015-2016, was a climate denier who cried out in political rallies, “We’re gonna bring back coal!” When he became president, he rolled back many executive orders and laws that the Obama administration had accomplished for the purpose of reducing emissions, especially in the auto industry which contributes the most to the U.S. causing global warming. In doing so, President Trump set the U.S. back so far in adopting renewable... Read more

Bryson DeChambeau Is Stupid about COVID-19 Vaccine

Last updated on: August 5, 2021 at 10:07 pm By Kermit Zarley

PGA Tour star and so-called “mad scientist” Bryson DeChambeau is not as smart as I thought he was. The twenty-seven year old refused to get a COVID-19 vaccination(s), yet he competed in pro golf tournaments all year, including The Open in the UK which, of course, involved the riskier international travel. A week after The Open, held July 15-18, Bryson tested positive for COVID-19. He said nonchalantly, “It was bound to happen…. The odds are you get tested enough, you... Read more

U.S. Health-Care System Not So Good?

Last updated on: August 5, 2021 at 11:55 am By Kermit Zarley

We Americans constantly hear the assertion that the U.S. health-care system is the best in the world. Far from it according to the Commonwealth Fund, which conducts independent research on health care. It did health-care research on eleven, affluent, free-world nations, and it rates the U.S. last among all eleven. Yet the U.S. is regarded as the wealthiest nation in the world. Those nations researched are the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden,... Read more

Religious Exemption from Vaccine Mandates Is Morally Wrong

Last updated on: August 5, 2021 at 12:02 am By Kermit Zarley

There is a strong movement in the U.S. in which vaccine mandate policies for COVID-19 are being adopted by corporations, businesses, schools, and many others. About a month ago, the largest university system in the U.S., the University of California (UC), adopted such a policy. It states that no one can set foot on any of their many campuses if they have not been vaccinated for COVID-19. However, this policy has one exception; it does not apply to anyone who... Read more

The Bible Is Primarily God-Centered, Not Christ-Centered

Last updated on: August 3, 2021 at 10:00 pm By Kermit Zarley

So many Christians get this wrong. They are taught that the Bible is primarily Christ-centered and that a person’s faith should be judged accordingly. I say “judged” because this issue is actually treated by the institutional church as a life and death matter, that is, eternal life. Ever since the so-called First Ecumenical Council–conducted by the Catholic Church and hosted by Roman Emperor Constantine in the year 325 at his palace in Nicaea, near Constantinople–the institutional church has said that...

Christian Anti-Vaxxers–Do You Know Jesus Will Rule with a Rod of Iron?

Last updated on: July 29, 2021 at 11:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

I can’t shut up about calling out these STUPID and ARROGANT Christian anti-vaxxer preachers who endanger peoples’ lives. I’ve quoted Jesus about it in a previous post, especially his teaching about self-denial. Most anti-and non-vaxxers claim to have “human rights,” but as Christians they are wrong. Not only that, just as any human being, we have a moral duty to do right to our fellow man. Anti-vaxxers don’t have a right to endanger other peoples’ lives, which is what they... Read more

It’s Not Mental Health, It’s Confidence!

Last updated on: July 29, 2021 at 10:13 pm By Kermit Zarley

The GOAT gymnast Simone Biles decided to withdraw from the Olympics Tuesday because she says she “got the twisties.” That’s when gymnasts flying through the air lose their sense of where they are, which had been so natural before. But in getting the twisties, that can endanger her physical health when she hits the ground. The media is consistently describing it as “mental health” problem. I think the media needs to rethink that. The young Ms. Biles is a world-class... Read more
