The sixth televised hearing by the Special House Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot was held yesterday. By now, perhaps most Americans know some of what twenty-five year old Cassidy Hutchinson, the sole witness for two hours, testified about. She was the principal aide to President Donald Trump’s Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows. Her office was right next to both the president’s Oval Office the office of Mark Meadows, thus right between them. She said it took 5-10 seconds for her... Read more

Lauren Boebert, a Republican Representative from Colorado–in the wake of last week’s controversial ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court to effectively ban abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade–stated at a religious service last Sunday in Colorado, “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk that’s not in the Constitution. It was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing like what they say it does.” What was the “stinking letter”? She apparently referred to Thomas Jefferson’s 1802 letter... Read more

As a teenage amateur golfer who was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, my dad and I used to sail across seawater Puget Sound to play golf in the Kitsap Amateur golf tournament at the Kitsap Golf and Country Club in Bremerton. I understand that this fun golf tournament is still being conducted there. Bremerton is a city of less than 50,000 people located twenty mile west of Seattle, thus across Puget Sound. We must have driven our car there... Read more

Sometimes an author finishes a book and gets it published, then sometime later the author realizes something that should have been put in that book. Maybe it was an additional piece of research for a nonfiction book or some tweak to a plot in a fiction book. But what’s done is done, right? Well, that the way it it used to be. But not any more. Book publishing is much different now, due to our advancing technological age. Books aren’t... Read more

Xander Schauffele defeated rookie Sahith Theegala and J. T. Poston by two strokes to win the Travelers Championship at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, today. It was Schauffele’s sixth win in his career on the PGA Tour. Poston shot 64 to be in the clubhouse with the early lead due to a 72-hole total of 263 on the par 70 course, thus 17-under par. Schauffele was paired in the last threesome, with Theegala playing in the second-to-last group,... Read more

The disruptive, Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series is scheduled to have its second event. It will be this week and the first in the U.S. It will be held at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains. With a population of only 3,500, North Plains is located twenty miles northwest of Portland. I’ve already blogged about the possible hostile opposition this event may incur. It’s because Saudi Arabia is financially backing LIV Golf, offering huge amounts of money for leading... Read more

One of my favorite political-legal commentators on television is Neal Katyal. He is a former Solicitor General in the Obama administration. Indicating Katyal’s legal expertise, he has argued orally a whopping 37 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, with 35 of them having been in the past nine years. Most notably among them was when he was co-counsel for Vice President Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election debacle case known as Bush v. Gore. On Thursday, the House Select... Read more

The disruptive, upstart LIV Golf Invitational Series comes to Pumpkin Ridge next week, and it could result in hostile demonstrations. I’ve been blogging about the renegade American pro golfers who have joined the new, Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series that is causing quite a crisis in professional golf around the world. The Saudis have been investing big time in sports to try to clean up their miserable image about human rights, but especially their supposed assassination, and reportedly the grotesque... Read more

The special House committee to investigate the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and events related to it, held two televised hearings this week. Its 4th hearing on Tuesday and its 5th hearing was today. I have watched all five hearings. Each one lasted two to two-and-a-half hours. I believe these hearings are presenting the true facts of how former President Donald J. Trump constantly lied about election fraud and committed crimes in trying to overturn the 2020 election results.... Read more

The DP World Tour, formerly the European Tour, announced yesterday that pro golf members of the new  and disruptive Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series will be prohibited from competing in the Scottish Open, which is a tournament on the DP World Tour’s schedule. This tournament is always scheduled the week before The (British) Open. Many pros, including some Americans, participate in the Scottish Open as a warmup to play in The Open the next week to get used to playing... Read more
