Outdoor Transmission of COVID-19 Is Very Rare

Last updated on: May 11, 2021 at 8:01 am   By Kermit Zarley

I’ve blogged before about this: the Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC) in the U.S.–supposedly the best source in the world concerning diseases–sometimes doesn’t communicate very effectively. A recent example is that last month the CDC stated that “less than 10 percent” of people who have contracted COVID-19 got it while outdoors. But that could mean any number less than 10 percent, which is quite inexact. Although it is difficult to make such a measurement, authorities have been saying for... Read more

I Had a Good Mother

Last updated on: May 10, 2021 at 8:23 am   By Kermit Zarley

I had a good mother. Barbara Mae Zarley died in the night on March 11, 2021, in her nursing home in the Kirkland, Washington, area, a suburb of Seattle. She lacked four days of making it to what would have been her 101st birthday, on March 15th. She had avoided contracting this terrible coronavirus, COVID-19, that came upon the world right about that time a year ago. And it first hit the U.S. in nursing homes in the very area... Read more

McIlroy and Cjeka Win on Mother’s Day

Last updated on: May 10, 2021 at 12:19 am   By Kermit Zarley

      Just minutes ago on this Mother’s Day, and after an 18-month hiatus from the winners circle, Rory McIlroy won for the third time the PGA Tour’s Wells Fargo Championship at obviously one of his favorite venues–Quail Hollow CC in Charlotte, North Carolina. The well-liked, Irishman superstar had a two-stroke lead teeing off on the par-four, final hole today. Although he played somewhat safe by hitting a 3-metalwood, it was surprisingly an errant shot that hooked left of... Read more

Trump May Never Trumpet Again

Last updated on: May 5, 2021 at 10:44 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, Facebook decided to continue banning former President Donald Trump from having an account on its platform. His FB account was extinguished on January 7th. The day prior, called Certification Day, he had gathered together a large crowd and incited many of them to storm the nearby Capitol to try to stop the 535 members of Congress gathered there to certify the Electoral College votes and declare Joe Biden the next president. Trump had been constantly declaring, and still is,... Read more

Maybe Voter Fraud Was More for Trump than Biden

Last updated on: May 4, 2021 at 11:21 am   By Kermit Zarley

A bare few voter fraud cases have surfaced from the 2020 Election, and it appears that these votes were more for Trump than for Biden. Yet these voter fraud cases only amount to a few dozen throughout the nation. It seems to affirm that former President Donald Trump’s still constant claim that the election, which Biden won, was “stolen” from him due to “voter fraud” is just what it’s being called by most Americans: “the Big Lie”! Three Republican voters... Read more

SpaceX Dragon Flies Like the Future Dragon

Last updated on: May 2, 2021 at 1:23 pm   By Kermit Zarley

The International Space Station orbits the earth about 200 miles away in space. Always traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, it takes ISS one-and-a-half hours to travel one full orbit around Earth. There are always astronauts living in ISS, performing experiments and doing things to increase human knowledge about space. NASA and other national space agencies are involved with ISS, which they almost scrapped some time back. Nowadays, NASA contracts with various American, commercial enterprises rather than do all of... Read more

More Evidence Paul Kept Moses’ Food Laws

Last updated on: May 1, 2021 at 8:50 pm   By Kermit Zarley

The thesis of my book, Moses Predicted COVID-19, is that there is a surprising and largely undiscovered correlation between the past nine major zoonotic diseases–an animal transmitting a deadly coronavirus to a human–and Moses’ food laws in the Bible. I conclude in this book that if the world (Gentiles) would take notice of this and make some adjustments accordingly, it would prevent a lot of these pandemics such as the present COVID-19 that we have been suffering for over a... Read more

Simon & Schuster in Upheaval about Trump Books

Last updated on: April 28, 2021 at 11:26 am   By Kermit Zarley

We all know the cliche, “you can’t judge a book by its cover.” But what about the book industry cliche, “You can’t judge a book by its author”? Book publishers are now reconsidering this one for various reasons. W.W. Norton just took a financial hit by canceling two books by author Blake Bailey–Phillip Roth: The Biography, released only two weeks ago, and The Splendid Things We Planned. It is due to a bunch of sexual allegations that have just come out... Read more

Stewart Cink Wins RBC Heritage

Last updated on: April 19, 2021 at 12:34 am   By Kermit Zarley

Stewart Cink–who is six feet, four inches tall, and forty-seven years old–won his eighth tournament today on the PGA Tour in a twenty-five year career out there. It was the RBC Heritage held at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where he had won before. Starting today with a five-stroke lead, Cink cruised to an easy one-under par 70 with no serious challengers to finish four strokes ahead the field at a 19-under par 265 total.... Read more

Thomas Friedman Also Says We Need the Wall

Last updated on: April 16, 2021 at 8:24 pm   By Kermit Zarley

I’ve blogged before about how I think Thomas L Friedman so often knows what he’s talking about. He is an American political commentator, author, winner of three Pulitzer Prizes, and has a weekly column in The New York Times. Even though I’ve blogged so much as a critic of Donald Trump as president (and so has Friedman), and now I’m about to publish a book about it, I have agreed with Trump–actually long before I ever knew about his views of... Read more
