One week from today–over fifty years after the U.S. government put its investigation of unidentified flying objects to rest–a subcommittee of the House Intelligence Committee will reopen this subject in a long-awaited, public hearing on UFOs, which are now being called “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UPSs). It will discuss a nine-page report submitted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence entitled “Preliminary Assessment.” This report is about a government investigation of 144 UAPs dating back from 2004 to more... Read more

In a previous post, on April 27th, entitled “Putin Threatens the U.S. for Arming Ukraine,” I said the following: “Both Putin and Lavrov have been talking about, even vaguely threatening with, the possible use of nuclear arms in the Ukraine war or against those nations supporting Ukraine. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said yesterday such “loose talk” about using nuclear weapons is “irresponsible.” He met with leaders of 40 countries in Germany this week to discuss Putin’s War in Ukraine.”... Read more

In the twentieth century, the Peoples Republic of China has been boasting that its fast-growing economy is proving that its autocratic political system is better than democratic systems. But both the inception of COVID-19 and China’s current zero-tolerance policy toward it are proving otherwise. COVID-19 originated in China largely because of the continuing tradition of Chinese people and other East Asians eating wild animals and using such in its traditional medicines. But many of these varieties of animals, such as... Read more

I’m referring to golf. “The Greatest Game on Grass” is what officials of the PGA Tour’s Phoenix Open, staged near where I live, used to call their most attended golf tournament in the world by far every year. But when they brought Waste Management along as their sponsor, the tournament’s focus shifted to being environmentally-friendly with the tagline altered to “The Greenest Show on Grass.” However, there’s a big problem here in the Southwest USA–DROUGHT! It’s been going on for... Read more

This book is by Jonathan Bernier (PhD, McMaster University) assistant professor of New Testament at Regis College, University of Toronto. It is entitled Rethinking the Dates of the New Testament: The Evidence for Early Composition (Baker Academic, 2022). And it is a game changer. How so? The dating of New Testament books and letters has some affect on deciding whether or not the New Testament identifies Jesus as God. I did a 28-year study on the subject of Jesus’ identity... Read more

That’s right! There is presently renewed discussion about Adolf Hitler’s ancestry. It’s because Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Sunday that he believed the conspiracy theory that Adolf Hitler had “Jewish blood.” This Lavrov statement so incensed Israeli officials that, yesterday, they summoned Russia’s ambassador to Israel to explain Lavrov’s remarks. Now for a little lesson in ancestry. Adolf Hitler’s maternal grandfather was named Alois. Baptismal records show that Alois was born “illegitimate.” There have been many theories about who... Read more

Yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Ukraine’s Jewish president, Volodymyr Zelensky, of supporting Nazism and asserted that “Hitler also had Jewish blood.” Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid alleged Lavrov’s remarks were “both unforgivable and outrageous.” He also summoned Russia’s ambassador to Israel to explain Lavrov’s allegations. This looks like it could lead to Israel cutting off relations with Russia. Democratic Israel–unlike almost all other democratic nations in the world–has so far not publicly supported democratic Ukraine in its struggle... Read more

Husky Spaniard Jon Rahm, the budding superstar and 2021 U.S. Open champion, lead wire-to-wire this week and today won the PGA Tour’s Mexico Open at Vindanta at the Vidanta Vallarta Golf Course in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He shot a 2-under par 69 today to win by one stroke over three players: Kurt Kitayama, Brandon Wu, and Tony Finau. Rahm said when he was handed the trophy, “Today was a battle, but I got it done.” Jon Rahm has been moving... Read more

The media has been having a heyday with the Trump revelation this week about him being worried about being pelted with fruit by protestors at his political rallies. Include me in that media since I wrote this week, “Trump Says Fruit Is ‘Dangerous Stuff.'” That’s what Trump told a lawyer in a deposition that he sat for last October concerning a lawsuit against him. Trump said that in one of his political rallies in 2015, thus early during his political... Read more

War is awful. But sometimes, it is necessary. So, as a Christian, I believe in some form of just war theory. I’m not sure of which one. But then, I’m no expert on this subject. However, I’m totally convinced that the Bible does not provide for Pacificism–the ethical opposition to violence or war. Yes, I view myself as a man of peace. But still, there is much evil in the world, and sometimes it has to be confronted with armed... Read more
