Barr Warns Republicans Not to Make Trump President Again

Last updated on: April 29, 2022 at 5:50 pm By Kermit Zarley

Bill Barr–the attorney general throughout much of President Donald Trump’s four-year term–said in an interview yesterday that it would be a “big mistake” if Republicans choose Trump again for their presidential nominee, this time in 2024. The ex-president continues to hold political rallies in which he intimates that he may run for the Republican nomination in 2024. Polls show that 55-60% of Republicans still say they want Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for president in 2024. I doubt it... Read more

Trump Says Throwing Fruit Is “Dangerous Stuff”

Last updated on: May 13, 2022 at 8:12 am By Kermit Zarley

In the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, a civil investigation of financial wrongdoing of the Trump Organization is going on. It was just revealed yesterday that former U.S. President Donald Trump sat for a deposition for it last October in which he expressed his disdain for throwing fruit, saying it is “dangerous stuff.” Thus, it seems to be another one of his several phobias besides the main one–being a clean freak. The occasion was a discussion about what Trump had said... Read more

Putin Threatens the U.S. for Arming of Ukraine

Last updated on: April 27, 2022 at 12:27 pm By Kermit Zarley

As Russia’s unprovoked aggression against its democratic neighbor Ukraine intensifies, Russian President Vladimir Putin is threatening the U.S. for its arming of Ukraine. He says the U.S. is thereby fighting against Russia in proxy. But it’s not just the U.S. A total of 40 countries are now coordinating arms shipments to Ukraine in its heroic effort to try to stave off Russia, often depicted as a “bear.” So, if Putin accuses the U.S. of fighting Russia by delivering arms to...

Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill Surely Knows God Doesn’t “Slay the Righteous with the Wicked

Last updated on: April 24, 2022 at 11:01 pm By Kermit Zarley

Moscow’s Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, is a prime enabler of President Vladimir Putin’s War in Ukraine. Kirill blesses the Russian military forces as they then invade the innocent and democratic neighbor, Ukraine, to destroy the place for the purpose of annexing it to Russia. Not only that, Kirill has said of Putin’s leadership that it is “a miracle of God.” Putin and Kirill, together, say this warm, which Putin designates as a “special military operation,” is...

Did President Trump Have a Conflict of Interest about Infrastructure?

Last updated on: April 20, 2022 at 10:04 am By Kermit Zarley

Republican Donald Trump first campaigned as U.S. president, in 2015-2016, with a platform which asserted that as a non-politician and businessman, he would shake up things in Washington that would result in a better economy, among other things. In 2020, one way in which President Trump attempted to do that was to nullify certain environmental laws having to do with infrastructure under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) passed by Congress in 1970, legislation which was signed into law by...

How does Elon Musk’s Asperger Syndrome Relate to Twitter?

Last updated on: April 18, 2022 at 12:17 pm By Kermit Zarley

I am sort of a fan of Elon Musk. I’m also an investor in Tesla. But I admit that Mr. Musk sometimes gets me upset and worried. Because of it, I’ve sold and later repurchased Tesla shares in my investment portfolio a few different times. Nearly a year ago, on May 8th last year, this CEO of Tesla and SpaceX appeared on Saturday Night Live on TV with his mother who used to be a model. At that time, Elon... Read more

“I Think Trumpgate Will Make Watergate Look Like a Sunday School Picnic

Last updated on: April 14, 2022 at 8:13 pm By Kermit Zarley

Last month–in the court case in which President Donald Trump’s attorney John Eastman refused to turn over 101 emails to the special House committee investigating the January 6th riot and events leading up to it–federal Judge David Carter ruled that the emails had to be released to the committee. Eastman, who had claimed executive privilege but was denied, had been a prime proponent who had engineered the coup to stop Congress’ certification of the Electoral College process that day, thus...

Is Donald Trump the Most Honest Human Being God Ever Created?

Last updated on: April 13, 2022 at 10:38 pm By Kermit Zarley

In a political rally in North Carolina Saturday night, called “Save America,” former President Donald Trump exclaimed to the crowd, “I’m the most honest human being, perhaps, that God ever created.” At least he added the qualifier “perhaps.” I’d like to reply to Mr. Trump about that. You probably think I would make some statement arguing that he is not very honest, which fact checkers determined of his presidency. For instance, The Washington Post Fact Checker team claimed President Trump... Read more

The Russian Orthodox Church Supports Putin’s War in Ukraine

Last updated on: April 12, 2022 at 10:09 pm By Kermit Zarley

I’ve blogged three times about the Russian Orthodox Church’s support of Putin’s War in Ukraine and his vision for Russian World, which means Greater Russia or the restoration of the medieval Russian Empire, which included Ukraine and much of the rest of Eastern Europe (“Russian World . . . Part 1;” “Russian World . . . Part 2;” “Is Putin a ‘Defender of Christianity . . .“). It has a lot to do with the history of Christianity. What a... Read more

Scottie Scheffler Wins Masters to “Glorify God”

Last updated on: April 10, 2022 at 11:48 pm By Kermit Zarley

Scottie Scheffler looked like he was in total control all the way today at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, until the very end, except that then it didn’t matter–almost. Scheffler shot a one-under par 71 today to win the Masters by three strokes over Rory McIlroy, who charged from way back to post by far the best score of the day, an eight-under par 64. (McIlroy needs to win the Masters to become one of only six golf pros who... Read more
