Will Capitol Rioters’ Sentences Be Reduced Due to President Trump Inciting Them?

Last updated on: January 10, 2021 at 7:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

The most prominent rioter in telecasts showing the insurrection at the nation’s Capitol last Wednesday was a bare-chested, heavily-tattooed, thirty-three year old guy wearing an animal fur hat with two horns on it and his face totally painted in the patriotic colors of red, white, and blue. His name is Jake Angeli, and he lives in Phoenix, Arizona. I live near Phoenix. Friday, a call went out for Angeli’s arrest. The next day, yesterday, Jake turned himself into the Phoenix...

The Fallacy of Tiger Woods’ Logic: “Respect the Office”

Last updated on: January 9, 2021 at 7:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

In August, 2018, I posted this piece on my blog, “Are Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus Right–‘Respect the Office’?” It’s about Tiger Woods having then been asked by a golf writer about Donald Trump, “what do you say to people who might find it interesting that you have a friendly relationship with him?” It was because Tiger was friends with Trump and played some golf with him even though President Trump was accused of being racist and had been maligned...

The Trump Brand Is Going Down in Flames

Last updated on: January 9, 2021 at 12:20 pm By Kermit Zarley

President Donald Trump has eleven more days until he will be just another U.S. citizen like the rest of us. His actions since the November 3rd presidential election have been devastating to his Trump brand, upon which his Trump Organization depends so much. Most injurious has been his childish refusal to concede defeat in the election, his constant and false allegations that widespread election fraud made Joe Biden the victor, but especially Trump’s inciting mob...

Trump and Golf Today

Last updated on: January 7, 2021 at 11:47 pm By Kermit Zarley

Today, the day after President Donald Trump incited his political supporters to storm the nation’s Capitol building–which they did and is being characterized as an insurrection or coup to disrupt members of Congress from officially recognizing Joe Biden as the duly-elected next president–Trump held a private ceremony awarding three outstanding pro golfers the Presidential Medal of Honor. The golfers were Annika Sorenstam, my friend Gary Player, and deceased Babe Didrikson Zaharias. Sorenstam and Player were present to receive their awards... Read more

Is Trump Making America Great Again?

Last updated on: January 6, 2021 at 6:54 pm By Kermit Zarley

Today was the day that Congress was to certify the presidential election of November 3 Electoral College results, officially making former Vice President Joe Biden the next U.S. president. But President Trump showed up today in Washington for a speech, saying “I’ll never concede” the presidential election to Joe Biden. The nation had been fixated for several days on one state, Georgia, which had a reelection for the state’s two Senate positions scheduled for Tuesday. Plus, the state had just... Read more

Republicans Are about to Do Like Trump: Shoot themselves in the Foot

Last updated on: May 28, 2021 at 5:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

Everybody knows that every since President Donald Trump lost the presidential election to former Congressman and Vice President Joe Biden on November 3rd, Trump has been claiming the election was a fraud and that he won it. Yet neither he nor any of his supporters have been able to muster any reliable evidence as proof. Moreover, Trump has been spending his precious time on this, thus being AWOL from governing respecting this virus and the massive vaccination campaign that is... Read more

Trump Accused of Money Laundering at his Scottish Golf Courses

Last updated on: January 4, 2021 at 3:05 pm By Kermit Zarley

In November, Donald Trump was accused of possible money laundering at one or both of the golf courses he owns in Scotland. Baron’s reported (11/13/20) that in 2006, The Trump Organization–which consists of about 500 businesses–purchased 1,400 acres of land in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, to professedly build “the world’s best golf course” and for it to provide 6,000 jobs. The golf course got built amid accusations of destruction of natural coastline. Then, in 2014, The Trump Organization purchased the famed Turnberry... Read more

Trump Is Doing All this Crazy Stuff to Try to Stay Out of Prison

Last updated on: January 3, 2021 at 7:44 pm By Kermit Zarley

It’s obvious! President Donald Trump is grasping at straws, doing everything he can possibly think of, not to Make American Great Again or help Americans (his lame response overall to COVID-19 proves that), but to remain president for a second term in order to possibly evade court convictions for crimes that could send him to prison. By doing so, he might be able to run out the clock regarding some lawbreaking, that is, go past dates when statutes of limitations... Read more

Here’s How Donald Trump Plays Golf

Last updated on: January 1, 2021 at 2:03 pm By Kermit Zarley

Donald Trump loves to play golf. He likes it so much that he can play golf at his own golf courses. He owns a bunch of famous, expensive, golf-and-hotel resorts. In fact, Donald Trump owns and/or operates seventeen different golf establishments. I used to compete on the PGA Tour every year at one of my favorite venues–the Doral Open at the Doral golf resort in Miami, and it is now named the Trump National Doral Miami. When Donald Trump...

Did Trump’s China Trade War Aid COVID-19?

Last updated on: December 30, 2020 at 11:07 am By Kermit Zarley

Since the 1980s, the brash-talking New York City real estate developer Donald Trump has berated China for “unfair trade practices” resulting in China’s exports to the U.S. being far more economically than vice versa. That is called a “trade deficit” for the U.S. in its trade with China. Thus, when Donald Trump campaigned for the U.S. presidency, he blamed China for taking advantage of the U.S. in trade. He indicated that if he became president, he might try to change... Read more
