The Media: “Mr. President, Canada’s new tariff on paper sold to the U.S. will hurt books and newspapers.” Trump: “Books? I don’t read ’em.” The Media: “What about newspapers?” Trump: “Newspapers? FAKE NEWS! Just protect FOX NEWS.” Read more
“China treats the U.S. very unfairly on trade.” The EU is “as bad as China. It’s terrible what they do to us.” “The WTO treats the U.S. very badly.” “Mr. President, does anyone treat the U.S. fairly? “Yes–RUSSHER!” Read more
Throughout my Christian life, the Gospel of John, which scholars also call “the Fourth Gospel, has been my favorite of the four New Testament gospels. When I played the regular PGA Tour, I often carried one or more pocket-sized booklets of the Gospel of John in my golf bag to give to people to whom I witnessed about my Christian Faith. I believe the Gospel of John is the most well-crafted book I have ever read. Much of it’s prologue,... Read more
In a speech last week, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte attacked God. The tough-talking, often cursing president mentioned the story of creation in the Bible’s book of Genesis. He questioned why God would create Adam and Eve and then tempt them in the Garden of Eden with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He said, “Who is this stupid God.

England’s Paul Casey started the day with... Read more

People wondered what she meant by wearing a garment with that statement. It’s implication... Read more
Nikki Haley, the U.S.’s UN Ambassador to the UN, announced yesterday that the U.S. is withdrawing its membership from the UN Human Rights Council. She called it “an organization that is not worthy of its name.” But like her boss, U.S. President Donald Trump, she was light on reasons other than her constant criticism of the UN regarding its perceived ill treatment of Israel. That’s really the reason. If it wasn’t for that, I doubt Trump would do it. Once... Read more
Paul Krugman’s op-ed in today’s New York Times is alarming. It’s entitled “Fall of the American Empire.” Rather, than “Make America Great Again,” Krugman alleges that U.S. President Donald Trump is quickly eroding American moral principles that made it great, thus doing the opposite. The following are excerpts from Krugman’s piece: “The U.S. government is, as a matter of policy, literally ripping children from the arms of their parents and putting them in fenced enclosures (which officials insist aren’t cages,...
