After decades of not deciding a big issue, the UN’s International Court of Justice ruled yesterday that Israel must leave the Occupied Territories, which now are the West Bank on the west side of Israel and the Gaza Strip to its southeast. The ICJ alleged Israel’s “abuse of its status as the occupying power,” rendered its “presence in the occupied territory unlawful,” and demanded it exit as “rapidly as possible.” Some people surely are saying to the ICJ, “What took...

Thursday night brought end to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. It officially made former president Donald Trump the Republican nominee for the upcoming presidential election in November. He was there, wearing a large, white bandage over his damaged right ear. It was the result of an assassination attempt on his life the previous Saturday at an outdoor political rally in Pennsylvania. The television coverage that Saturday night showed a truly horrific sight as Trump was giving a speech. As... Read more
American Billy Horschel’s short game blossomed today as he missed eight greens the back nine, yet he still held a one stroke lead over six players in the (British) Open at Royal Troon—the fourth and last major of the year—after three rounds with a four under par total of 209. But it wasn’t easy. The renowned foul weather for the British links blanketed the famed Royal Troon Golf Club in the late afternoon, affecting mostly the tournament’s leaders. Players were...

Tonight at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, former U.S. President Donald J. Trump became the Republican nominee for president again in preparation for the presidential election in November. To project himself as manly and full of vigor following his near assassination last week, when a sniper’s bullet struck his right ear causing damage, Mr. Trump was preceded at the podium by speeches delivered from professional wrestling entertainer Hulk Hogan and marshal arts executive Dana White.

Early during the COVID-19 pandemic, I wrote a 130 page book about it entitled Moses Predicted COVID-19. It was an ambitious title. But so far, there hasn’t been anything I said in the book about projecting future results of this pandemic that has proved wrong. The book is mostly about making a what I think is a striking correlation between past coronavirus pandemics since the Spanish Flu of 1918 and the Bible’s Mosaic Food Laws about not eating animal meat...

Some texts in the New Testament claim that Moses in the Old Testament predicted the sufferings of Jesus of Nazareth. But many Bible readers claim no such text or texts exist. They are right that there is no clear and obvious prophesy about this. But God has other ways of predicting the future, and they can be quite cryptic and thus mysterious. This is very important when considering the surprising fact that Jews generally reject Jesus as their Messiah. Why... Read more

Donald Trump proved himself last night in the first, televised debate with President Joe Biden, in preparation for the presidential election in November, that he is still indeed “the king of all liars”! It was when this very serious debate—for what many are calling America’s most important, upcoming, presidential election ever—turned to the mundane subject of … GOLF. CNN’s host Jake Tapper asked both contestants about their old age, why it would not inhibit them during one more four-year term... Read more
Former U.S. President Donald Trump—the presumed Republican nominee for the presidential election next November—has threatened to sue film director Ali Abbasi for his docu-drama entitled “The Apprentice.” It received a robust applause at the Cannes Film Festival at France in May. The film is an expose of Donald Trump’s ruthless rise to power as a real estate mogul in New York City. Rolling Stone says it is “the most brutal Donald Trump biopic imaginable.” One scene is about Donald raping... Read more
Israel’s Supreme Court, consisting of nine judges, finally ruled unanimously today that its young men who are ultra-Orthodox are no longer exempt from compulsory military service as in the past. Since the ultra-Orthodox community in Israel now consists of 13% of the nation’s population, this court decision may result in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government falling apart, requiring another election. Israel’s Religious Influence on Government This is a landmark decision in Israel that has been a long time coming.... Read more
