Dustin Johnson–the tall, slim, dark-bearded, #1 pro golfer in the world with the swagger walk, rugged look, and Western gunslinger demeanor–grabbed a four stroke lead with a 36-hole total of 136, four under par, in the 118th U.S. Open staged this week at the historic Shinnecock Hills GC, Long Island, New York, today half way through the tournament that he won two years ago. Not to be counted out is Charlie Hoffman, tied for second at even par 140. He’s... Read more
The Southern Baptist Convention is going on this week. They are the largest non-Catholic church denomination in the U.S., consisting of 15 million people. The big news for the convention has been that Vice President Mike Pence, an evangelical Christian, is going to be one of the speakers. I lived in Houston, Texas, for almost forty years. So, being in the South, I’m quite familiar with Southern Baptists. In fact, I married one. I’ve had a lot of Southern Baptist... Read more
Michael Avenatti is the lawyer for Stormy Daniels, the porn star who sued President Donald Trump about her alleged sexual encounter with him in 2006. Avenatti was again making the rounds on TV news networks last night, specifically on Lawrence O’Donell’s “The Last Word” on MSNBC and Don Lemon’s “CNN Tonight.” On O’Donell’s show, Avenatti expressed some sympathy for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s personal lawyer, with whom Daniels also has a lawsuit. It was because he said Trump is rejecting... Read more
As soon as President Donald Trump returned from his summit in Singapore with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim John Un, the president again said the American press is “the enemy of the American people.” He had said the same thing on February 17th, 2017, about four weeks after his inauguration as president. And he constantly labels the U.S. news media, both expressly and with his Twitter account, “Fake News.” Wrong! The enemy of the American people is President Donald Trump.... Read more
Yesterday, Dustin Johnson ran away from the field by shooting a four-under par 66 at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, to win the FedEx St. Jude Classic by six strokes. It was his 2nd win this year and his 18th career win on the PGA Tour. It thrust him back into the #1 slot in World Rankings, pushing aside Justin Thomas to 2nd place. This is U.S. Open week. Johnson won this tournament in 2016, so he is primed to... Read more
Retired Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters has been a politically-conservative commentator and military analyst on television’s Fox News and Friends program for years. But early this year, he began speaking out critically of President Donald Trump. Then Peters resigned from Fox News. He has since called it “a propaganda machine” for President Trump. Wednesday, on CNN’s Andersen Cooper 360 newscast, Mr. Peters said of Russia’s president, “I am convinced that Vladimir Putin has a grip on President Trump.” It sure... Read more
In the book of Genesis we read, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, ‘You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die” (Gen 2.15-17). Then the text says God made Eve... Read more
Most Christians have believed that after Jesus was crucified he died, rose from the dead on the third day, was seen by his disciples on occasion, that forty days later he ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives as his apostles watched him go. All of this is in the New Testament, in Acts 1.1-9. Most Christians also have believed that Jesus literally will return to earth someday, bringing the kingdom of God with him in all of its...

Two hours ago, Bryson DeChambeau won the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village, near Columbus, Ohio, in a three-man playoff on the second playoff hole against Kyle Stanley and Byeong Hun An for Bryson’s second win on the PGA Tour. He admitted in the televised interview that his tee-to-green game was not spot-on this week, especially today, but that he somehow got the job done with his short game. He was elated to win the one tournament on the PGA Tour... Read more
For me, definitely not. After losing game 1 in overtime to the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Lebron James was answering questions in the televised press conference and then walked out before journalists had finished questioning him. It was obvious that this was a tough loss for him. He had just scored 51 points to place him in about sixth position for the most points scored ever in an NBA Finals. So, he played a great game and they... Read more
