The Republican Party Is as Phony as a Three Dollar Bill

Last updated on: May 28, 2021 at 7:42 pm By Kermit Zarley

I’ve said it before, since Trump became President. (See some previous posts, “The Republican Party’s Reputation Is Shot to Hell” [April 23, 2019]; “Republicans–Three Strikes and You’re Out” [October 4, 2019]. And I’m saying it even more strongly now. Yesterday, Senate Republicans successfully voted to block the establishment of a commission panel to investigate the Capitol riot January 6th. That is such a shame. It is a dereliction of duty. Even though this nation has become so politically bipartisan, a... Read more

Do Palestinians Not Deserve their Own State for Rejecting Past Offers?

Last updated on: May 28, 2021 at 5:02 pm By Kermit Zarley

For the past seventy years or more, many Israeli Jews and some Christians, especially evangelicals and Pentecostals, have argued that Palestinians should not be entitled to their own state in the holy land because they rejected the two-state solution offered to them and Jews by the UN Security Council way back in 1947, thus before Israel became a state again. And these people have argued likewise concerning the solution that President Clinton put forward, called Clinton Parameters, which PLO chief... Read more

Clean Energy Is the Future

Last updated on: May 27, 2021 at 12:02 am By Kermit Zarley

The world is burning up. That is, the average atmospheric temperature around the world has increased almost two degrees Fahrenheit in just over the past century. It’s the result of the Industrial Revolution in which we humans have been burning so much fossil fuel–namely coal, petroleum, and natural gas–to heat our homes, drive our cars and trucks, fly in airplanes, produce our electrical power, conduct military operations, and the list goes on and on. But there are still millions of... Read more

Did Trump Launder Money to Buy his Two Scottish Golf Properties?

Last updated on: May 24, 2021 at 3:39 pm By Kermit Zarley

Through the years, there has been some questioning about whether or not Donald Trump has ever laundered money, which is a crime, via purchases through his Trump Organization or even sales of apartment units at his Trump Towers on Manhattan Island, New York. More particularly, did Trump do this when he purchased his two premiere golf course resorts in Scotland: Trump Turnberry, purchased in 2006, and Trump International Golf Links, purchased in 2014, which was later built on a 1,400-acre...

Phil Mickelson Wins PGA Championship

Last updated on: May 23, 2021 at 7:07 pm By Kermit Zarley

Phil Mickelson established a monumental record in golf today by becoming the oldest golfer to ever win one of the four majors in golf, it being the PGA Championship at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, South Carolina. (One of the four majors in golf, the British Open, reaches back 161 years.) Mickelson won by two strokes at six under par for a 282 total. His nearest pursuers were four-time major winner Brooks Koepka and one-time major winner Louis Oosthuizen,... Read more

Phil Mickelson Leads the PGA Championship

Last updated on: May 22, 2021 at 6:40 pm By Kermit Zarley

Aging superstar Phil Mickelson, with five major titles to his credit, took a one-stroke lead today into the final round tomorrow of the PGA Championship. Being played on the PGA Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, South Caroline, the PGA Championship is one of the four coveted major championships in professional golf in the world. (The others are the Masters, U.S. Open, and British Open.) Brooks Koepka, who has won four majors much more recently, is left-hander Mickelson’s closest pursuer. Both... Read more

Gun-Happy U.S. Needs to Protect Its Capitol

Last updated on: May 21, 2021 at 10:29 am By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a bill to protect its Capitol Building in consequence of the Capitol riot on Certification Day last January 6th. That is when President Trump stirred up thousands of his supporters to attack the Capitol because he lost the election. The U.S. escaped what could have been a far more devastating destruction, since not one of those 535 members of Congress who were meeting to affirm the election results was killed or injured....

Will Florida Governor Save Trump Doral with a Casino?

Last updated on: May 20, 2021 at 11:10 pm By Kermit Zarley

The Doral Open, in Miami, Florida, used to be one my favorite tournaments and venues on the PGA Tour. I usually roomed there at the hotel, which overlooked the golf course we played, called The Blue Monster. In my second year on the Tour, in 1966, I had my first chance to win, and it was there at Doral. I took the lead the first round with a seven-under par 65 in windy conditions. I then led the tournament wire-to-wire,... Read more

Israel’s Gilad Erdan Speaks Before UN Security Council

Last updated on: May 20, 2021 at 10:53 am By Kermit Zarley

Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, is now speaking before the UN Security Council as it deliberates the current, armed conflict between Israel and Hamas which governs the Palestinians’ Gaza Strip. The two are trading ballistic missiles, with Gaza undergoing far more casualties and physical damages, as is always the case. The last “war” between them was in 2014. Although I support the existence of the State of Israel, I also strongly support the concept of an independent, sovereign... Read more

China to Decrease Muslim Births

Last updated on: May 11, 2021 at 9:17 am By Kermit Zarley

China has a Muslim population of 11 million people in its Xinjiang province in the far northwest. They are mostly of Uighur descent from Eastern Turkey. China has been oppressing the Uighurs unmercifully for the past few years. China says they must crack down on Uighurs because they foment terrorism and radicalism/extremism. China has “re-education” camps for Uighurs in Xinjiang. The Chinese Embassy in the UK explained concerning them, “Since the measures have been taken, there’s no single terrorist incident in...
