Film Review of “The Wall”

Last updated on: August 6, 2018 at 2:51 pm By Kermit Zarley

Three days ago, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to “shut down the government” unless Congress passes and sends him an appropriations bill that includes substantial funding for his proposed, nearly 2,000 mile-long wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. This proposal for a wall was the main plank in his political platform when he campaigned during the presidential election in 2016. It is a serious thing for the federal government to not make its payments on time, mostly payments to its many... Read more

Trump and The New York Times Again

Last updated on: August 5, 2018 at 5:58 am By Kermit Zarley

Since Donald Trump has been president, he regularly criticizes the U.S. news media as perveyors of constant lies, which he calls “FAKE NEWS.” And he often tweets it like that with his Twitter account in full caps for emphasis. This is most ironic since credible fact checker organizations claim that President Trump has publicly lied something like a whopping six times per day. I guess he would be a worthy member of the Liars Club. More specifically, President Trump has... Read more

Regulating Social Media Networks

Last updated on: July 29, 2018 at 7:37 pm By Kermit Zarley

For years now, the U.S. government and the European Union have been accepting social media networks–such as Facebook and Twitter made possible by the Internet–as “passive platforms” irresponsible for their users’ content due to the guaranteed right of free speech characteristic of western democracies. Not any more. It’s mostly because both the EU and USA intelligence agencies have determined that Russian government operatives influenced the outcomes of the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Brexit for the purpose of creating chaos...

Last updated on: July 25, 2018 at 12:07 am By Kermit Zarley

Apparently, when no one’s lookin’. Suzann Pettersen, a fifteen-time winner on the LPGA Tour, says of Trump at golf, “he cheats like hell.” She knows. She has played a lot of golf with Donald Trump. Pettersen adds, “I’m pretty sure he pays his caddie well, since no matter how far into the woods he hits the ball, it’s in the middle of the fairway when we get there.” She says he used to claim to have a 3 handicap, which...

Trump the Theologian

Last updated on: November 13, 2018 at 2:46 pm By Kermit Zarley

U.S. President Donald Trump likes to talk about dead people being alive in heaven and looking down at us. Oftentimes, he says they are looking down at his presidency and smiling, indicating they are happy about it. Oh my goodness! That’s a sure-fire way to trick the spiritually naive into believing in Trump and his political policies. The Arizona Republic columnist Dana Milbank writes about this subject today in his piece entitled, “Trump communes regularly with the dead.” He relates:... Read more

Trump Is Dumber than a Stick!

Last updated on: July 26, 2018 at 9:33 am By Kermit Zarley

U. S. President Donald Trump says he’s “a stable genius” in response to questions about his psychological well being. I beg to differ. He is a classic narcissist and thus a psychologically sick man. This really gets him in trouble as president of the leading nation of the free world. He claims he is going to Make American First; but in reality, I think he is trying to make Donald Trump First. This scenario was played out loud and clear... Read more
