Co-leader Tony Finau shot a five-under par 67 today to win the Rocket Mortgage Challenge by five strokes with a 26-under par 262 at the Detroit Golf Club. It was his second consecutive win on the PGA Tour to give the Salt Lake City native with Tongan-Samoan heritagea a total of four wins. Three players tied for second: Taylor Pentrith, Patrick Cantlay, and Cameron Young. Young said, “It wasn’t that close. Tony put on a show.” Indeed, Finau posted the... Read more
[See a prelude post to this post entitled “Jesus Cannot Return ‘Soon.’“] There is one Bible prophesy about the end times that pretribulationists cannot ignore in order to protect their doctrine of imminency, which means Jesus can return “at any moment” to rapture his church to heaven as the first of two stages of his second coming separated by seven years. Similarly, neither could Jesus have ever returned “soon,” as many Christians have thought. If it can be shown... Read more
Most Christians believe Jesus arose from the dead, ascended to heaven forty days later, sat down on God’s throne with him at his right hand, and awaits his literal second coming to earth to fully consummate his glorious and worldwide kingdom. The Apostles’ Creed puts it, “I believe in God the Father Almighty, and in Christ Jesus his only Son, our Lord, who . . . on the third day rose again from the dead, ascended to heaven, sits at...

But what should we expect from ex-U.S. President Donald Trump, the biggest liar I have ever seen in my lifetime? As the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series prepares this week to stage its third of eight planned tournaments this inaugural year at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, now private citizen Trump was interviewed about it by Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal. (Murdoch, who also owns Fox News that has been largely responsible for Trump’s political victory, has... Read more
In Russia, they like to play chess. And they take their chess very seriously. Play by our rules or things could get violent. Even their robot players are susceptible to it. The Washington Post reports today that a Russian robot was playing three games of chess at the same time with three different children in a Chess Tournament in Moscow recently. All three children were among the “30 strongest” chess players in Moscow under nine years of age. The Russian... Read more
The powerful and joyful Irishman Darren Clarke survived monsoon conditions that included a rain delay yesterday to shoot a one-under par 69 for a total of 270, ten under par, to win The Senior Open presented by Rolex and held at the historic Gleneagles in Scotland. He did so by just enough–one stroke over countryman Padraig Harrington. Clarke thereby became only the fourth pro golfer in history to have won both The (British) Open (in 2011) and The Senior Open... Read more
That Black man they call The Mouth and Sir Charles used to say, humorously, “If they offered me enough money, I’d work for the Klan.” Now, he’s considering doing just about that, at least from the perspective of the PGA Tour. However, I don’t think they’ll hire him to teach his version of the golf swing even though he loves the game so much. His basketball skills never did transition well over to his golf skills. Last month, Charles Barkley–an... Read more
Television’s Late Night host-comedian Seth Meyers mocked ex-President Donald Trump, a Republican, this evening by saying, “It’s pretty amazing that when Trump ran in 2016 his slogan was ‘lock her up,'” referring to the then Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton. Meyers continued, “And in 2024 it’s going to be, ‘Vote for me or I’m gonna go to jail.'” That’s because of the several investigations of Trump that could turn into prosecution for crimes and result in prison time for him....

Well, it’s to be expected–Donald Trump came out today advising pro golfers that have the opportunity of playing on the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series to take the money and thereby dish the PGA Tour. He had posted on his Truth Social media site on June 23, “So INTERESTING to see the PGA Tour finally start to treat its players fairly now that the LIV Tour has opened to such a big BANG.” Now, he’s at it again. He wrote... Read more
They’re all saying it now–Donald Trump must get back in the White House to stay out of the Big House. Media networks have been reporting today that ex-president Trump has been telling his political team that he must run for president in 2024 and win to save himself from criminal examinations and maybe prosecutions. I guess he thinks he’s safe as president, but not as an ex. Now they’re all saying this, including the TV talk show hosts. That’s what... Read more
