Donald Trump likes to call wind turbines “windmills” as he denigrates their value by saying they kill so many birds. But I’ve posted that downtown skyscrapers, like those Trump built, kill way more birds than wind turbines do. (They crash into the windows.) I later posted again about this, about Trump complaining on Sean Hannity’s Fox News TV program about the “windmills,” that they “kill our birds. They kill everything.” Oh, now they kill everything! It turns out there is... Read more
The conservative Likud Party’s Benjamin Netanyahu won Israel’s election for Prime Minister Tuesday to return to his former post as the country’s leader again. The pundits are predicting that Netanyahu will implement an even more right-wing government this time, filled with a cabinet of hawks who will make life even more difficult for Israeli Arabs, who constitute 20% of the nation’s population, and more miserable for most Palestinians, further destroying any chance of ever settling the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One... Read more
Christian Nationalism is on the rise in the USA. What is it? I’m an evangelical, and Evangelicals for Democracy, which opposes Christian Nationalism, has a pretty good definition of it in their brief article, “The Truth About Christian Nationalism.” Christian Nationalism is a group of professing Christians, mostly among white evangelicals and Pentecostals-Charismatics, who are extremely political and determined to take political control of this nation. Their ideology begins with the premise that the U.S. began as a Christian nation.... Read more
Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid–who faces reelection next Tuesday–successfully accomplished an U.S.-assisted signing of an Israel-Lebanon maritime border agreement yesterday that took 11 years to be completed. The two nations had been in dispute of their maritime border in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea for decades. The significance of this deal is that the U.S. Geological Survey has identified the Eastern Mediterranean seabed as holding some of the most vast fossil fuel deposits in the world. Israel first discovered offshore natural... Read more
Tomorrow, NASA begins a new program of investigating Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). However, that’s old hat. The U.S. government now prefers to identify such objects as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). NASA has put together a large team of illustrious, independent scientists who will examine unclassified data regarding UAPs for the next nine months. The project will end with a report that will guide future NASA study of this aerial phenomena. The director of this study is Daniel Evans, the assistant... Read more
In at least modern times, the Englishman Charles Darwin (1809-1882) has been the most influential person regarding the origin of the human species. As a naturalist and biologist, and then a geologist, he postulated evolutionary biology–that all biological life descended from a single, common ancestor. Yet in Darwin’s early adult life, he was a professing Christian, and his mother and wife were devout Christians and churchgoers. So, how did Charles Darwin go from firmly professing to being a Christian to... Read more
I wrote my book, Moses Predicted COVID-19, hurriedly during the early months of COVID-19, thus in the spring of 2020. I explain in the preface that I did so because of the pandemic and that I was limited in my research due to libraries being closed from the nation’s shutdown. The thesis of my book is that there is a mysterious connection between the past nine pandemics–from the Spanish Flu of 1918 to the present–and Moses’ food laws about eating... Read more
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has a history of making public remarks that most people consider anti-Semitic even though he has had close relations when some Jewish men, such as his lawyers Roy Cohn and Michael Cohen and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Donald Trump attacked American Jews yesterday on his Truth Social platform. He said they “must get their act together before it’s too late.” Too later for what? Same ole’ Donald Trump–his incoherent speech leaves his listeners guessing what he... Read more
October is National Book Month in the USA. It is a time to honor the best books and authors. If you want to get smart, read books. But it will help more if you don’t just read fiction books. How so? Publishers that make non-fiction books get experts to write them because it’s a business, and if they just get anybody who is not an expert to write on some topic, that publisher likely will soon go bankrupt. So, you’ll... Read more
I’ve blogged before about my respect for House Speaker and Democrat Nancy Pelosi, how she “prays” for Trump while he denies it. Yet we all have experiences about how we wish people well, maybe even pray for them, yet at other times we might feel like Pelosi, that she’d like to punch the guy out. That’s what we learned yesterday from the Select Committee investigating the Capitol riots on January 6th. Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra, an HBO film maker, was there... Read more
