Late news now but yesterday, Justin Thomas shot 67 to win The CJ Cup@Nine Bridges at Jeju Island, South Korea by two strokes over Danny Lee. He had won it two years ago. Thomas and Lee were well ahead of the field as they played the last nine holes sort of like match play. Thomas took the lead on the 14th hole, and Lee knocked himself out of it with bogies on the 15th and 16th holes. It was Thomas’... Read more
House impeachment proceedings are moving fast. They are just the opposite of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s two-year investigation that resulted in a 450-page report that few Americas read even though it contained many accusations in which Donald Trump and/or his election campaign team in 2016 may have committed possible “crimes and misdemeanors” that the U.S. Constitution requires for impeaching a president. Each of the three weeks of the impeachment proceedings have proved increasingly devastating to Donald Trump’s future in remaining... Read more
I like the television program “The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations.” Rubenstein has a wit that is so common to a lot of Jewish people. In David’s case, it is quite a dry wit. Have you ever pondered how many great American comedians have been Jewish? It’s astonishing. I don’t know what they’re drinking, but I’d like to have some of it. Today, Rubenstein was interviewing one of the richest men on the planet–Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft... Read more
U.S. President Donald Trump’s acting Chief-of-Staff Mick Mulvaney committed a huge gaff in a televised press conference Thursday. It became big news that could have created further evidence for the impeachment proceedings against the president in Congress and perhaps further legal jeopardy for Mr. Trump. According to reports of Republican sources who attended a White House prep meeting for that press conference, Mulvaney was expected to speak only about the recent decision by President Trump to pull back U.S. military...

President Donald Trump–the former real estate developing mogul and star of The Apprentice television series wherein he made popular the saying, “You’re fired”–hired General Jim Mattis, whom he lauded as a great general, as his Secretary of Defense, and then fired him late last year. Trump afterwards said of Mattis that he was “the world’s most overrated general.” I’d say Donald Trump is the Don Rickles of the White House, except he doesn’t make such insults in loving jest like...

It was just announced that G7 will meet at Trump National Doral Miami next year. It is the seven economically largest Free World nations that meet annually. They are the U.S., Canada, France, UK, Germany, Italy, and Japan. Russia used to be a member, when they were called the Group of Eight, until it got thrown out due to bad behavior. There has been criticism about the G7 meeting at Doral since U.S. President Donal Trump owns it. He said... Read more
Democratic leaders met with President Donald Trump to mostly discuss the ongoing chaos resulting from Trump’s recent decision to pull over 1,000 of our troops out of northeastern Syria, allowing Turkey to send troops into the region, and thereby abandon its ally Kurds as Turkey seeks to destroy them. The meeting did not go well. Pelosi told Trump that Russia has always wanted to gain a “foothold in the Middle East,” and Trump has now given that to them with... Read more
In recent days, President Trump has pulled over 1,000 of our military ground forces out of their entrenched positions in northeast Syria at the request of Turkey President Erdogan. They had been there working mostly with Kurds in overcoming the very dangerous radical Islamic group called ISIS. Turkey then began sending its forces into northeast Syria to attack and destroy the Kurds there because Turkey regards them as “terrorists.” The word “terrorist” is thrown around a lot these days. The... Read more
I’m a big NBA fan. I’ve been this way pretty much all of my life. And I like Lebron James. He has been the best basketball player on the planet for the past nearly 15 years. But he has just now stuck his foot in a big hole of you know what by speaking out two different times against Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey’s tweet image a week ago Friday. It read, “Fight for Freedom, Stand with Hong Kong.”... Read more
Du Due to Donald Trump being our president, I am questioning if the U.S. should require psychological testing for its presidential contenders. It’s because the U.S. presidency is allotted so much power, especially the power of sending or removing U.S. troops to fight wars not declared by Congress or, worse yet, deciding on shooting nuclear weapons at our foes. If our president doesn’t have a very sound mind, that’s pretty scary. One week ago, President Trump phoned Turkey’s President Erdogen.... Read more
