Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Hamdallah Resigns

Last updated on: January 30, 2019 at 4:21 pm By Kermit Zarley

Palestinian politics just got worse. And it probably will have a negative effect on Palestinian aspirations for their own sovereign state. Palestinian Authority (PA) Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah willingly resigned yesterday. It was partly caused by Palestinian demonstrations against a recently revised social security law. His departure further alienates the PA, which governs Palestinians in the West Bank, and Hamas, which governs Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The PA president, Mahmoud Abbas, now must decide on accepting Hamdallah’s resignation and... Read more

Pelosi Says Trump’s Wall Idea is “Immoral”

Last updated on: January 27, 2019 at 6:21 pm By Kermit Zarley

House speaker and Democrat Nancy Pelosi has responded to President Donald Trump’s signature campaign promise to build a wall or fence or both on the U.S.-Mexico border to help prevent illegal immigration by alleging it is “immoral.” Does she explain that? How is it immoral for a nation to defend its borders? Read the Bible. National borders are ordained by God. The Bible says, “When the Most High [God] gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he... Read more

Rose Won the Farmers

Last updated on: January 27, 2019 at 5:16 pm By Kermit Zarley

Justin Rose won the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course in La Jolla, California, just north of San Diego. He shot 267, 21-under par to beat Adam Scott by two strokes. Rose started with a three stroke lead. Then he had a shaky start, with three bogeys in his first five holes. Scott was at par for the day until he birdied the last four holes to make it look close. Justin Rose again proved that he... Read more

Mueller Indicts Stone

Last updated on: January 26, 2019 at 6:29 pm By Kermit Zarley

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s 24-page document charging Roger Stone, filed with the court yesterday, says a senior White House official was told to contact Roger Stone to try to get Hilary Clinton emails from Julian Assange of Wikileaks fame, who afterwards did release such emails. The big question is, Who is the person in the White House who ordered a senior official to do that? It looks as though Mueller is holding back that answer and that it may be... Read more

Roger Stone Said Last Night, “I Believe in God”

Last updated on: January 26, 2019 at 6:26 pm By Kermit Zarley

God can forgive the vilest of all sinners who plead with him for forgiveness of their misdeeds. But when God does so, that person must turn to him and live a better life. Otherwise, there is no divine forgiveness for that person. (E.g., see Matthew 6.12a; 17.21-35.) Yesterday, U.S. special counsel Robert Mueller–in his investigation of possible collusion between President Donald Trump and his team with Russian government operatives–presented a 24-page document to the court which indicts Roger Stone, a...

England’s Justin Rose shot a 3-under par 69 today to take a three-stroke lead into tomorrow’s final round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course in San Diego, California. Australia’s Adam Scott shot 65 to be alone in second place. Rose could have widened his lead on the back nine. He had a six-stroke lead and then double bogeyed the easy 14th hole on the South Course. And on the 18th hole, with what looked like... Read more

The Doomsday Clock Stays at Two Minutes to Midnight

Last updated on: January 24, 2019 at 10:46 pm By Kermit Zarley

Today, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists elected to keep the Doomsday Clock at 11:58 PM, thus two minutes to the apocalyptic midnight two years in a row. Midnight is symbolic of world annihilation. This is the closest to midnight the clock has ever been since its inception in 1947. The Doomsday Clock was established then due to the world having suffered WWII. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists now consists of fifteen scientists and scholars who have been awarded fifteen...

Huckabee Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez Duke It Out on Global Warming

Last updated on: February 3, 2019 at 4:38 pm By Kermit Zarley

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the new U.S. House of Representatives politician who is taking the U.S. political scene by storm. At twenty-nine years of age, she is also the youngest member of Congress ever. As a Democrat, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is advocating some socialistic ideas. She wants the highest individual tax bracket raised to 70%, so that those who make over $10 million in a year would pay 70% in federal taxes. Ocasio-Cortez also has proposed what she calls the Green New... Read more

Did Trump Know His Team Did No Collusion?

Last updated on: January 25, 2019 at 11:11 am By Kermit Zarley

I’ve been trying not to post about the White House lies. (I call it “the Black House.”) But the last few days just strain credulity as never before. The Trump-Giuliani team lies like a rug. All the time Donald J. Trump has been the U.S. president, he has publicly stated repeatedly, “no collusion.” Sometimes, he explained what he meant. He would say there was no collusion between him or his political operatives and Russians representing the Russian government in an... Read more

Adam Long–a PGA Tour rookie at 31 years of age–just won the Desert Classic in La Quinta, California, at the Stadium Course at PGA WEST designed by Jack Nicklaus. He made a fourteen foot putt on the last hole to win by one stroke in an exciting finish. Three players were tied at 25-under par, all playing the last hole together in the same threesome: Phil Mickelson, Adam Hadwin, and Adam Long. On the final nine holes, Hadwin was in... Read more
