Patrick Reed is a PGA Tour player, even a Masters champion, who has a reputation for playing fast and loose with the rules of golf. Yesterday, he added to that reputation. Today, going into the last round of the PGA Tour’s Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course near San Diego, California, Patrick Reed is tied for the lead with Carlos Ortiz at 10-under par. That is two strokes ahead of the next players who are tied at 8-under... Read more
It has been over two years since former President Donald Trump foolishly cozied up to Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ended the U.S. relationship with the Palestinian Authority, thus throwing away the important U.S. status, which had existed for over five decades, as the sole peace broker in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Plus, the Trump administration had ended the annual $200 million U.S. foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority for its governance of Palestinians in the West Bank. It also... Read more
NO! I won’t need to. I’ll do it if I feel the need, which likely will be rare. Trump’s presidency was a very unusual four years in our nation’s history. My blog is on the Progressive Christian Channel at patheos.com. So, that indicates I blog mostly about spiritual things, especially the Bible since that’s what my eight books are about–Biblical Studies. Trump had to be called out because he was so unfit for the job. I’m saying this because I’ve... Read more
Si Woo Kim just won The American Express golf tournament on the PGA Tour at LaQuinta Country Club near Palm Springs, California. He bested Patrick Cantlay, who shot an 11-under par 61 today, by one stroke with a 64 for a total 23-under par. But he had to play some clutch golf at the end by birdieing the 16th and 17th holes to then lift the trophy. It was Kim’s third PGA Tour victory. There are so many good golf swings... Read more
Newsweek published an article three days ago entitled “16,000 Christians: Fire Franklin Graham for Helping Incite ‘Capitol Riot.'” I’ve blogged (see below) a few times about this son of famed Evangelist Billy Graham (now deceased) and Franklin’s unswerving, vocal support of Donald Trump as president, even repeatedly claiming God made him president. It gives me no pleasure to speak out against the son of Billy Graham. Billy was a friend of mine and endorsed the back cover of my first... Read more
Joe Biden–the former U.S. Senator and eight years Obama’s vice president–became the president of the USA yesterday in an outdoors ceremony at the Capitol Building on a bright, sunny, Inauguration Day in Washington D.C. President Biden delivered a speech that centered on calling Americans to unity, as in the United States of America. This theme of unity was due to the divisive, four-year term of his predecessor President Donald Trump. This disunity had emerged most vividly only two weeks ago,... Read more
Last Friday, 85-year old Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas announced that after about 15 years, the PA and alienated Hamas will join together to hold both presidential and parliamentarian elections. The irreligious PA governs Palestinians living in the West Bank, and the strongly Islamic Hamas–which the U.S. has long regarded as a terrorist group–governs Palestinians living in the tiny Gaza Strip. Most Americans think President Donald Trump gained accreditation in his foreign policy when he engineered the following: recognized Jerusalem... Read more
Now that the House has impeached President Donald Trump for the unprecedented second time, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is strategizing when to give the single article of impeachment, called “incitement to insurrection,” to the Senate. When that happens, the Senate will then likely vote to hold a trial and then vote on whether or not to convict Trump, who will then be a private citizen, of crimes and misdemeanors. Trump is presently deciding who he will have as legal... Read more
Korean American Kevin Na just won the PGA Tour’s Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii, by one stroke over Joaquin Neimann and Chris Kirk. He shot a five-under par 65 today in order to lift the trophy. It was Na’s fifth win on the PGA Tour. Yet it amazingly took the journeyman fourteen years to get his first Tour win. At 37 years of age, Na seems to now just be coming into his prime. For many years,... Read more
Many Republican members of Congress are upset with Republican President Trump for his constant rhetoric following the presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden, in which he accused the State of Georgia of election fraud and that state officials could not be trusted in the election runoff for both Senate seats which occurred days ago since neither party had attained more than a one per cent advantage in votes compared to his or her opponent. The two Republican candidates... Read more
