Bubba Watson just won the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Championship at Austin Country Club in Austin, Texas. In an eighteen-hole finals match, he soundly defeated Kevin Kisner 7 and 6, meaning seven down with six holes to play. Bubba had gotten off to a blazing start, winning six of the first seven holes. With Kisner struggling with his game and luck, the outcome soon became a foregone conclusion. It was Bubba’s eleventh win on the PGA Tour. And this is the only... Read more
Today, in the nation’s capitol, in downtown Washington D. C., students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida, will lead a march against gun violence. It is being called March For Our Lives. Why? On February 14, a former student of their school killed 17 students with an AR-15 rapid-fire rifle on their school campus. As many as 500,000 people are expected to participate in this demonstration. Over 800 corresponding demonstrations are expected to occur all over the... Read more
In the USA, polygamy has always been illegal. But then, homosexuality was illegal not long ago. Now, homosexuality is not only legal but well accepted by most Americans. Plus, gay rights are strongly defended in the courts. It’s all about human rights, a movement that continues to grow in the U.S. In fact, this nation has been the supreme leader in the world in affirming human rights. They are enshrined in the Bill of Rights which are an addendum to... Read more
They say “the gloves are off” now between former heads of our U.S. intelligence community and President Donald Trump. The president has been constantly bashing his own intelligence agencies all during his presidency, accusing them of lies and being a part of “deep state.” I think what little proof the president offers to support such allegations is very lame. I also think such allegations are an effort to obstruct justice by getting the Mueller investigation shut down. Such behavior makes... Read more
After a two-year drought, four-time major championship winner Rory McIlroy putted his way back into the winners’ circle on the PGA Tour today by shooting an 8-under par 64 to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational golf tournament at Bay Hill Resort and Lodge in Orlando, Florida, by three strokes over Bryson DeChambeau. Tiger Woods was one stroke behind the lead with three holes to play and then drove OB, finishing 5th. Putting had mostly been the culprit holding Rory back.... Read more
Ever since Israel unilaterally turned over the Gaza Strip to the possession of the Palestinians, in 2006, and Hamas took control of it in 2007, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA), which governs Palestinians in the West Bank, have been politically divided. Everyone agrees that as long as this division continues, Palestinians will not be able to make progress toward achieving their ultimate goal of a Palestinian state. Lately, Palestinians have been making some progress toward this elusive unity. In... Read more
President Donald Trump’s White House chief lawyer John Dowd today called for ending the Department of Justice’s Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in our presidential election in 2016 and possible Trump campaign collusion with Russian operatives in trying to get Trump elected. I believe this is part of Trump’s strategy to demean Mueller’s probe and either end it or fire him. President Trump’s lawyer Ty Cobb began the first phase of this Trump strategy months ago, in...

President Trump tweeted this morning that he was firing his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. That’s the first that Tillerson learned of it. Tillerson just now gave an outgoing speech to his staff at State that was televised. He said that at noon today (EST), he received a phone call from President Trump who was onboard Air Force One. He said the president said he was terminating Tillerson at the State Department. As I repeatedly have stated on this blog,... Read more
Evangelical Christians were a major voting bloc that put Donald Trump in the U.S. White House. Only a few days after that November, 2016, presidential election, the Pew Research Center said its poll showed that 81% of all white evangelicals who voted in that election voted for Republican nominee Donald Trump rather than Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton. Some of those voters said they voted against Clinton more than for Trump. Now, just over one year after Donald Trump has been... Read more
Today, the U.S. White House is holding a conference involving certain selected individuals to discuss how to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It is being led by President’s Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt, and David Friedman. Greenblatt blamed Hamas for most of the crisis and said yesterday, “We are beholden to a brighter future for the Palestinians of Gaza.” These three men have also been crafting a peace plan to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be released soon....
