Last updated on: April 2, 2019 at 4:41 pm By Kermit Zarley

As President Donald Trump gloated last week by claiming on the basis of Attorney General Barr’s four-page letter to Congress that the Mueller reported “exonerated” the president of any wrong doing, the president called for the Mueller report to not only be given to Congress but made public as well.

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Some Early History of Walls and Fences Some people argue that physical barriers on national borders are immoral and that people should be allowed to freely go wherever they desire. But that is overly idealistic, if not naïve, in a world of evil. Just as homeowners have a legitimate right to decide who they allow into their homes, nations have a right to decide who comes into...

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Pope Francis and President Trump Dispute about Walls In 2016, Donald Trump campaigned for the U.S. presidency, which he won. The main plank of his platform was that he promised to build a wall on the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration and transportation of narcotics. The U.S. had a decades-old problem with illegal immigration across this border, and the U.S. Congress had been dis-functional... Read more

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Illegal Immigration and Global Warming Another problem that could greatly increase illegal immigration in the future is global warming. When the concept of global warming was first broached by some climatologists not many years ago, most people shrugged it off as nonsense and simply didn’t believe it was happening. But that is no longer true. There is a huge consensus among the world’s leading scientists that earth’s... Read more

It’s also a rallying cry for... Read more

[For an explanation of these posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/19.] “Don’t Fence Me In” When I was a full time professional golfer on the regular PGA Tour, from 1964 through 1982, I competed every year in the Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur golf tournament. It was conducted on the beautiful and picturesque Monterey Peninsula in Northern California. Bing Crosby—an avid golfer for whom the tournament was named—was America’s beloved crooner and a charming Hollywood movie star during the mid-twentieth... Read more

Last updated on: March 27, 2019 at 1:27 pm By Kermit Zarley

Introduction Republican President Donald Trump is in a squabble with mostly Democratic members of Congress about building a wall on the U.S. southwestern border with Mexico to stop the ongoing problem of illegal immigration into the U.S. from Central and South American countries. Trump recently has argued that it is a “national emergency.” Democrats generally are opposed to solving this problem by constructing a physical barrier such as a wall, and some are opposed to a fence. They generally say... Read more
