Twenty-four year old Spaniard Jon Rahm–who may be a superstar in the making–leads the PGA Tour’s marquee event, The Players Championship at Sawgrass, with one round left to play, tomorrow. After seven holes today, he got on a hot streak and shot an 8-under par 64, one stroke off the course record, for a 15-under par 201 total. Rahm has a one-shot lead over two players: Ireland’s Rory McIlroy–a former #1 World Ranking player and a four-time major championship winner–and... Read more
Senator Bernie Sanders, who is running as a Democrat for president again, has it right about anti-Semitism and criticism of Israel and the Jewish lobby group American-Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC). Last week, he addressed these issues that that are plaguing the Democratic Party of late. It’s mostly because of statements made recently by freshman, Muslim, Democratic Ilhan Omar in the House of Representatives about these subjects that many have alleged are anti-Semitic. But the purpose for her rhetoric is... Read more
Again, as I posted three days–Three Jews, Four Opinions. Laurence Tribe is a leading Constitutional law scholar and a professor at Harvard Law School. He has argued before the Supreme Court 36 times, which is a whole lot. His book, American Constitutional Law, is a core textbook on this subject. Mr. Tribe is also Jewish and was born in China. His father’s name is George Israel Tribe. Laurence Tribe is very anti-President Trump. When President Donald Trump fired FBI Director... Read more
Francesco Molinari of Italy–the 5-foot, eight-inch-tall 2018 British Open Champion–just now continued his hot streak with his third win in his last twelve PGA Tour tournaments by canning a 45-foot putt on the last hole for a scorching 64 at Bay Hill Golf Course in Orlando, Florida. He came from well behind to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational by two strokes over Matthew Fitzpatrick. I played that tournament either once or twice when they first started it. That sixth hole...

There’s a lot of discussion in this country right now about what is the proper attitude toward Jews, Palestinians, and Muslims. It’s partly because an intelligent, 37-year old, freshman congresswoman named Ms. Ilhan Omar (D-MI), who is Muslim and born in Somalia, recently has been making provocative statements that have been understood as anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. Due to some recent posts I’ve made here on blog about this and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I’m getting a lot of criticism, esp. on... Read more
The U.S. House of Representatives voted yesterday on a resolution that condemns racial hatred and ethnic bigotry. The resolution gets specific by condemning “hateful expressions of intolerance” toward “African-Americans, Native Americans, and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, immigrants and others.” The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the resolution–407 to 23. In recent days, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been like a magnificent circus performer juggling of a bunch of balls in the air as she orchestrated... Read more
Ever since Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen flipped on him last summer and admitted crimes, for which he is soon going to prison for three years, he appears to be telling the truth. And he knows that he better be. He has a plea bargain with special counsel Robert Mueller and thus with the Justice Department’s Southern District of New York to tell the truth about his dealings with Donald Trump and answer any questions truthfully to both. Furthermore,... Read more
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives in the Congress is scheduled to vote on a resolution to either condemn anti-Semitism, it and Islamaphobia, or to include other racial entities as well or simply racism in general. This issue has been prompted by several allegedly anti-Semitic statements made in recent days by freshman congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MI), one of only two Muslims ever chosen to the U.S. Congress. Pretty, 37-year old Ms. Omar was born in Somalia and moved to the... Read more

Keith Mitchell overcame a bogie-bogie start today by posting four birdies in his last seven holes to win The Honda Classic at West Palm Beach, Florida, by one stroke over top stars Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler for his first win on the PGA Tour. It was a dramatic finish. Koepka and Fowler were in the clubhouse with an eight-under par 276 total. Long-hitting Mitchell needed a birdie on the last hole to win and thereby prevent a three-man, sudden-death... Read more
