Who Is “the Enemy of the American People”?

June 14, 2018 By Kermit Zarley

As soon as President Donald Trump returned from his summit in Singapore with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim John Un, the president again said the American press is “the enemy of the American people.” He had said the same thing on February 17th, 2017, about four weeks after his inauguration as president. And he constantly labels the U.S. news media, both expressly and with his Twitter account, “Fake News.” Wrong! The enemy of the American people is President Donald Trump…. Read more

Retired Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters has been a politically-conservative commentator and military analyst on television’s Fox News and Friends program for years. But early this year, he began speaking out critically of President Donald Trump. Then Peters resigned from Fox News. He has since called it “a propaganda machine” for President Trump. Wednesday, on CNN’s Andersen Cooper 360 newscast, Mr. Peters said of Russia’s president, “I am convinced that Vladimir Putin has a grip on President Trump.” It sure… Read more

In the book of Genesis we read, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, ‘You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die” (Gen 2.15-17). Then the text says God made Eve… Read more

Jews Must Repent for Jesus to Return

Most Christians have believed that after Jesus was crucified he died, rose from the dead on the third day, was seen by his disciples on occasion, that forty days later he ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives as his apostles watched him go. All of this is in the New Testament, in Acts 1.1-9. Most Christians also have believed that Jesus literally will return to earth someday, bringing the kingdom of God with him in all of its… Read more

Was Lebron James Wrong to Walk Out on the Media?

For me, definitely not. After losing game 1 in overtime to the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Lebron James was answering questions in the televised press conference and then walked out before journalists had finished questioning him. It was obvious that this was a tough loss for him. He had just scored 51 points to place him in about sixth position for the most points scored ever in an NBA Finals. So, he played a great game and they… Read more

European Museums Are Giving Back their Middle East Artifacts

May 19, 2018 By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

During the nineteenth century, some European archaeologists, especially from Germany, did seminal archaeological work in some of the most significant tells in the Middle East. One result was that they uncovered ancient city ruins and removed artifacts. These antiquities treasures usually wound up in European museums where they have remained until recent times. However, there is a movement going on to return these valuable artifacts to their countries of origin. No nation in the world has more ancient ruins and… Read more

Thursday, heads of the 28-nation member states of the European Union (EU) met and denounced U.S. President Donald Trump’s removal of the U.S. as a participant in the nuclear agreement with Iran, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The other participants in that agreement are the UK, France, Germany, EU, Russia, and China. The EU said it will stay in the agreement. During Trump’s campaign for president, the author of The Art of the Deal repeatedly said JCPOA… Read more
