The Associated Press reported yesterday that China approved over two years ago the mRNA vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech, but it still refuses to administer the shots due to its own pride in trying to produce such a vaccine itself, which it has not been able to do. Fosun Pharma had agreed to distribute the Pfizer vaccine to China. The AP article states: “Now health experts say that delay — a result of putting politics and national pride above... Read more
No joke! I’ve blogged about some of Donald Trump’s phobias. He readily admits that he has at least one, that he is a clean freak. Recently, it became more known that he has a phobia for people throwing fruit at him. He said in one of his political rallies, in 2015, that “doing fruit,” meaning throwing it, is “dangerous stuff.” He further said, “If you see someone getting ready to throw a tomato, just knock the crap out of them,...

Ukraine is fighting for its life. The U.S., the European Union, and NATO are standing with Ukraine, supporting it in every means possible without sending soldiers and airplanes to attack the Russians because they are trying to avoid a nuclear war, which Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Foreign Minister Lavrov have threatened. President Putin gathered 150,000 Russian soldiers on Russia and Belarus’ border with Ukraine last year and early this year. He constantly said all along that it was... Read more
Justin Thomas won the PGA Championship yesterday–one of the four major tournaments in world professional golf–and he did it by coming from seven strokes behind starting that last round. But the really crazy thing about it was that he COLD SHANKED his ball on the 218-yard, par-three, sixth hole with his mid-iron, and the ball, of course, was TEED UP! It teed him off so badly that he released the club near the end of his follow-through, with the club... Read more
Long-hitting superstar Justin Thomas came from seven strokes back today to win his second PGA Championship, and thus his second major, at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Leader Mito Pereira of Chile, South America, collapsed on the last hole in regulation play with a double bogey six to finish one stroke back. But for Thomas, the early leader in the clubhouse with a three-under par 67, it still wasn’t over. Will Zalantoris, the 36-hole leader, tied Thomas for... Read more
Mito Pereira–a PGA Tour rookie from Chile who went to college at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas–birdied the last hole today for a one-under par 69 and a 54-hole total of nine-under par 201 to take a three-stroke lead in the PGA Championship at Southern Hills, Tulsa, Oklahoma, with one round to go. Until Saturday, the weather in Tulsa had been warm and nice. But the cold wind blew in Saturday to dampen tournament spirits, especially those of Tiger Woods.... Read more
Willowy Will Zalatoris continued his good play in major pro golf tournaments by shooting a five-under par 65 today to go with his 66 yesterday and grab the sole lead of the PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His 131 is tied for the lowest 36-hole total in the history of this tournament. Alone in second place is rookie unknown Mito Pereira of Chile, South America. Powerful Justin Thomas is lurking close behind three strokes back... Read more
I have been blogging about the big controversy in pro golf about a break-away tour that is financially backed by Saudi royalty that raises ethical issues for some of the pros. It is because the Saudis are executing a sportswashing program to clean up their image tarnished by their poor record on human rights and especially their most gruesome assassination of world-class journalist Jamal Khashoggi. They are doing so with a proposed pro golf leagues directed by Greg Norman that... Read more
It is now being reported that retired, superstar pro golfer Greg Norman may be on the way out as the director of LIV Golf Investment that is scheduled to conduct the tournaments on the new, break-away pro golf tour named Super Golf League that is being financially backed with lots of greenbacks by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund (PIF). This golf tour concept is causing quite the controversy on the PGA Tour since it will compete against the PGA... Read more
Phil Mickelson put himself on the hot seat months ago by criticizing the PGA Tour and admitting that Saudi royalty is full of some dangerous folks to get involved with due to their abysmal record on human rights and their gruesome assassination of world-class journalist Jamal Khashoggi two years ago. Nevertheless, Phil was touting the new, break-away pro golf tour– the Super Golf League. It is backed by the Saudi’s sovereign wealth fund (PIF). They are offering to throw a... Read more
