Engineer Barbara Res was a vice president of the Trump Organization who worked for the company for eighteen years. She then quit, in 1998, due to Donald Trump’s alleged mistreatment of her. So, she knew The Donald quite well. Today, Ms. Res appeared on Ali Velshi’s MSNBC Velshi news TV program. The most newsworthy statement she made in her criticism of Donald Trump was that he once made a joke about Jews being gassed in the Nazi ovens of WWII.... Read more
Scottie Scheffler—the #1 golfer in the world for nearly the past two years—just now won the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. He defeated young Tom Kim on the first hole of a sudden death playoff with a par four. It was Scheffler’s six win for the year and in only ten tournaments. The last time anyone had ever won six tournaments on the PGA Tour in any year before July 1st was Arnold Palmer in 1962.... Read more
“Lousiana” in this title is not a misspelling, as I will later explain. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican, signed a law yesterday requiring the Ten Commandments in the Bible—set forth in Exodus 20: 2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21—to be prominently displayed in all classrooms of all public schools in the State of Louisiana. No other U.S. state has such a mandate. This law, first passed by the Louisiana state legislature, raises many questions. The foremost is whether it violates the... Read more
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci—the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the U.S.—became the chief medical advisor to the White House and thus the face of the pandemic to the public. It was the worst health crisis the U.S. had had since the Spanish Flu in WWI. Politically right wing America, influenced especially by television’s Fox News, which was biased toward the Republican Party, constantly attacked Dr. Fauci for his advice on... Read more
Yes, that’s what I believed before this U.S. Open began this week. And that’s what some other former PGA Tour players are now being reported as saying. Golf online says Mark Calcavecchia, a thirteen-time winner on the PGA Tour, said Thursday, “Pinehurst is such a cool area with great courses. #2 ain’t one of them. Most overrated course in the world! Lemme have it!! But it’s true.” The social media has been fired up since this afternoon about what happened... Read more
They say “it’s better to be lucky than good.” Bryson DeChambeau may have proved that today. He won the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 by one stroke over Rory McIlroy even though Bryson kept missing fairways to the right in the “native areas” with sand and constant clumps of gnarly, wire grass, yet having playable shots to the greens. Plus, Rory gave him two gifts on the 16th and 18th holes by missing short putts. Still, Bryson made a... Read more
Bryson DeChambeau–The Muscle Man, The Mad Scientist, and The Bomber which are names his PGA Tour peers have given him due to his innovation in the game of golf–shot a three-under par 67 today for a 7-under par total 203 after three rounds in the U.S. Open at famed Pinehurst No. 2 at the Pinehurst Golf Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Bryson’s nearest pursuers, who are tied for second at 4-under par total 206, are Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, and... Read more
Donald Trump visited Washington D.C. this week for the first time since he, as president, inflicted its Capitol with an insurrection on January 6, 2020, due to losing reelection weeks earlier, and departed the place in haste and a huff two weeks later, on Inauguration Day. It is being reported by various sources that Trump met with a group of House Republicans and said to them, “Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city.” He meant the...

The New York Times revisits the origin of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic that so disrupted life with today’s article, “Two Covid Theories,” by David Leonhardt. It begins with these two paragraphs, “The origin of the Covid virus remains the pandemic’s biggest mystery. Did the virus jump to human beings from animals being sold at a food market in Wuhan, China? Or did the virus leak from a laboratory in Wuhan? “U.S. officials remain divided. The F.B.I. and the Department of... Read more
Scottie Scheffler survived the loss of his four-stroke lead starting today to win the PGA Tour’s signature event Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, by one stroke over playing partner Collin Morikawa. It was Scheffler’s fifth win on the big circuit this year in eight tournaments played and the eleventh win of his career.
