Biden To Return America to Its Values

Last updated on: November 25, 2020 at 9:57 pm By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday in Wilmington, Delaware, President-elect Joe Biden held a televised, on-stage presentation of many of his new cabinet picks. I watched most of it and thought it was at times an emotionally-stirring event as each person gave a brief speech. The main idea that came across was that the Biden team intends to restore U.S. values in especially foreign policy, thereby hoping to regain integrity at least with its allies. And, of course, Mr. Biden made it quite clear, as... Read more

CDC Communication

Last updated on: November 23, 2020 at 10:56 pm By Kermit Zarley

The abbreviation CDC refers to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the. It is a U.S. government agency under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The CDC generally is regarded as the world’s premier source of information for health and therefore for COVID-19. I have been noticing that sometimes I don’t think the CDC communicates very well to the public. An example is today’s CDC message which says, “The prevention benefit of masking is... Read more

Could Republicans Want Trump Behind Bars?

Last updated on: November 23, 2020 at 5:00 pm By Kermit Zarley

As I posted days ago (Could Trump Sabotage the Georgia Senatorial Runoff?), Republican President Trump’s refusal to concede defeat to Joe Biden as President-elect, moreover, Trump’s many legal and political challenges against our constitutional, democratic process may thwart the candidacy of the two Republican senators from Georgia, Perdue and Loeffler, in their upcoming January runoff due to a voter backlash. If that happens, it will gives Democrats the majority in the Senate and thus the Blue Wave Democrats were hoping... Read more

Nero Fiddled and Trump Golfed

Last updated on: November 22, 2020 at 12:44 am By Kermit Zarley

The story goes that when Rome caught fire and much of it burned down, madman Emperor Nero resorted to playing his fiddle, thereby ignoring the known crisis. A parallel occurred yesterday when U.S. President Donald Trump joined the virtual G-20 meeting of the world’s leaders, hosted by Saudi Arabia this time; but when it turned to discussing the worldwide health crisis called COVID-19, which has now killed 1.3 million people, with over 255,000 of them Americans, and has had a...

Palestinian Authority to Resume Contact with Israel

Last updated on: November 21, 2020 at 11:59 pm By Kermit Zarley

Joe Biden’s election as U.S. president brings back a sliver of hope for the Palestinian Authority which governs West Bank Palestinians. President Trump had been very partisan about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He highly favored Israel and ignored the Palestinians and their aspirations for attaining their own independent state. Christians who adopt this viewpoint are called Zionist Christians, and I believe they are quite deceived about this matter. Because Joe Biden takes an even-handed approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Palestinian... Read more

Not MAGA but TIKA

Last updated on: November 19, 2020 at 9:02 pm By Kermit Zarley

Not MAGA=Make America Great Again, but TIKA=Trumpenstein Is Killing America. Here’s how: Trump refuses to concede the election to Biden, who clearly won it. Trump is trying to overturn an election that he clearly lost. Trump is meddling with state legislators to vote contrary in the Electoral College. Trump is undermining our treasured institutions. Trump is undermining our very democracy. Trump has disappeared from public view, thus given up on governing. Trump is AWOL on COVID-19, which is now killing... Read more

How Much Do Americans Study Religious Texts?

Last updated on: November 18, 2020 at 4:31 pm By Kermit Zarley

The results of an interesting and stellar survey, at least to me, and the first of its kind, has just been released concerning how much U.S. citizens study religious texts, which would be mostly the Bible. It is entitled “The Humanities in American Life: Insights for Religious Studies.” It was administered by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Humanities Indicators by conducting interviews with a diverse range of over 5,000 individuals. I was surprised to learn from this survey that... Read more

COVID Deniers or COVID Idiots?

Last updated on: November 18, 2020 at 10:46 am By Kermit Zarley

Even though this current novel coronavirus, designated COVID-19, is surging into this winter and has killed over 250,000 Americans in the past nine months, there are still many Americans who deny the existence of it and therefore refuse to wear masks and do social distancing as both medical and political authorities advise. Many of these Covid deniers are also climate deniers, meaning they deny that man-made greenhouse gases have contributed to the nearly two percent increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature...

Could Trump Sabotage the Georgia Senatorial Runoff?

Last updated on: November 18, 2020 at 12:43 am By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, Tweeter Trump used his usual tweeting to fire Chris Krebs, his Director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, for publicly contradicting the president by saying through his committee, “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. . . .There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” This, of course, contradicts what President Trump has been saying since the Election, that it was a fraud...

Boy Scouts Corruption

Last updated on: November 17, 2020 at 10:37 am By Kermit Zarley

The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910 to help boys grow in character and thereby mature into adulthood. It has done a lot of good, a whole lot of good, but some not so good. In recent years, an increasing number of men have been coming forward and claiming that they were sexually abused by adult scout masters when they were boys in the Boy Scouts of America. So, they claim these men as scout leaders were sexual... Read more
