Does Trump See “the Handwriting on the Wall”?

Last updated on: November 1, 2020 at 9:27 pm By Kermit Zarley

Where did we get that saying, “the handwriting is on the wall”? It’s from the Bible. The apocalyptic book of Daniel tells about it, back in the fifth century BCE. We read, “King Belshazzar [of Babylon-Chaldea] made a great festival for a thousand of his lords, and he was drinking in the presence of the thousand. Under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar commanded that they bring in the vessels of gold and silver that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken... Read more

There May Be Water on the Moon

Last updated on: October 27, 2020 at 4:26 pm By Kermit Zarley

For years, scientists have theorized that there may be water on the moon. If that is the case, that would make it much more plausible that astronauts could live on the moon. How so? People must have water to drink to stay alive. But by todays standards, it would cost thousands of dollars to send one gallon of water into space via a manned spacecraft. That would be too expensive to make living on the moon a possibility. Nevertheless, last... Read more

Climate Denial Is Not Loving Your Neighbor

Last updated on: October 26, 2020 at 12:00 pm By Kermit Zarley

A scribe once asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the first of all?” (Mark 21.28). This Jew was referring, of course, to the Tanach/Tanakh, which was the Jewish Bible. At least in those days and before, Judaism was a religion that was very oriented to a sacred text. And Jesus was regarded as a Torah teacher, which means a recognized teacher of Moses’ Law that is contained in the Tanach. “Torah” generally referred to the first five books of the Jewish...

Cantlay Wins Zozo Championship

Last updated on: October 25, 2020 at 6:12 pm By Kermit Zarley

Easy-going, sweet-swinging, gum chomping Patrick Cantlay cruised to a seven-under par 65 today to win the Zozo Championship @ Sherwood in Thousand Oaks, California, by two strokes over two of the world’s best golfers–#2 Jon Rahm and #3 Justin Thomas. Both Rahm and Thomas really messed up this week to let Cantlay capture his third PGA Tour win. Rahm’s embarrassment was in the first round on Thursday, on his 78-yard wedge shot to the 18th green, when he hit a... Read more

200th Anniversary of The Jefferson Bible

Last updated on: October 23, 2020 at 12:01 pm By Kermit Zarley

This year is the 200th anniversary of “The Jefferson Bible” as it is popularly called. But it really is entitled The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth. It was compiled, thus not actually authored, by the third U.S. president, Thomas Jefferson, in 1820. Jefferson did something similar to what I did in compiling my first book, The Gospel (237 pp., softcover, but no longer in print). This book was published in about May of 1987. But I also made it...

It Was a Real Debate This Time

Last updated on: October 22, 2020 at 11:27 pm By Kermit Zarley

President Donald Trump and challenger and former Vice President Joe Biden faced off in the final, televised debate with just twelve days left before the November 3rd election. The previous debate was so chaotic mostly because moderator Chris Wallace was not able to control it, with especially Trump constantly interrupting Biden. The event got such a negative response that it seemed that these presidential debates, which have been conducted for the past sixty years, may be in jeopardy. But... Read more

Young Muslim Kills Teacher in Paris

Last updated on: October 19, 2020 at 12:00 am By Kermit Zarley

Friday, an 18 year-old Muslim male took a knife and beheaded a 47 year-old school teacher near Paris because the young fellow believed he was honoring Islam. Police immediately were hailed, and they shot and killed the murderer. He so far is being identified as Abdoulakh A. who was born in Moscow of Chechen origin. The teacher, Samuel Paty, had showed his young students in the classroom cartoons of the Prophet Muhammed, the founder of the religion of Islam. France’s... Read more

COVID-19 Deaths And Obesity Way Worse in Americas than Eastern Asia

Last updated on: October 15, 2020 at 1:08 pm By Kermit Zarley

I’m especially interested in how various nations are surviving COVID-19 because of my recent book, published July 1, which is provocatively entitled Moses Predicted COVID-19. So far, the authoritative Johns Hopkins University of Medicine says the nations that have suffered the most COVID-19 deaths per capita of population are most of those in Central and South America, with the U.S. and then Canada right behind. Peru is the worst, with 104 COVID deaths per 100,000 people. Then, (with numbers rounded)... Read more

Only George Will

Last updated on: October 14, 2020 at 12:14 pm By Kermit Zarley

Who can top political commentator George Will with his uncanny insight and ability with words, often set forth either in print or speech with a touch of humor? Today, in Will’s regular column in The Washington Post, he chides progressives for alleging that our biggest technology companies–such as Apple, Google, amazon.com, and Facebook–are monopolies that should be broken up. Congress even held hearings about this in July in which the CEOs of these companies testified. George Will then reminds us... Read more
