Biden on Track with COVID Pandemic

September 22, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

U.S. President Joe Biden conducted a “virtual vaccine summit” this morning on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York City. His administration had been criticized when Biden announced last month that on September 20th, two days ago, the U.S. would begin giving booster shots to elderly people and some others as a follow-up to their single COVID shot by John & Johnson or two shots by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres had vociferously... Read more

Dump Religious Exemptions for COVID-19

September 20, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

I wrote a post on August 5th entitled “Religious Exemption from Vaccine Mandates Is Morally Wrong,” and later, “Catholic Church Not Supporting Religious Exemption for COVID Vaccine Mandates.” See this from the Los Angeles Times today, “Editorial: Dump COVID vaccine religious exemptions. There is no Church of Moderna Disbelievers.” It tells about 1/4 of LAPD are claiming religious exemption from COVID vaccines–which is insincere and thus non-credible by many of them–and a lot more.

Will Anti-Vaxxers Get Hurt on Future Employment?

September 20, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

The three COVID-19 vaccines that have been used almost exclusively in the U.S.–Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and J&J–were given “emergency authorization” by the FDA early this year and have proved very effective. Yet there has been serious hesitancy, or blatant refusal, of nearly one third of adult Americans to get the vaccine. This has greatly inhibited the U.S. from achieving the goal of “herd immunity” (at least 80% of the population having antibodies) for COVID-19 in order to stop its spread. Instead,... Read more

Butch Harmon’s Whacky Advice for this Ryder Cup

September 19, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

I’ve known Butch Harmon since way back before he ever became the world’s best golf swing instructor in the past twenty or thirty years. We lived in the same area just south of Houston, Texas. Butch was the golf pro at the Texas City municipal golf course. Our kids attended the same high school together. I like Butch. If I had a do-over pro golf career, I would have gone to Butch for some swing instruction. I think his dad,... Read more

2017 Charlottesville Rally: “Jews Will Not Replace Us.” Oh Yeah!

September 17, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

Top journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costas have written a book about ex-President Donald Trump, the third Trump book for Woodward, entitled Peril. It will be released next week. They claim to have interviewed 200 people who had insight into Trump and his presidency. Advance copies were given to a few publications this week, and they have been publishing many of the sordid and shocking details from the book. One detail regards the final political rally called “Unite the Right”... Read more

Non-Vaxxers Are Like in the Days of Noah

September 15, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

When Noah built his ark, he must have had a lot of critics, skeptics, and scoffers. When they asked Noah why he was building that giant boat, at least at first he likely told them that the God of creation had spoken to him, saying he was angry about the widespread moral corruption of human beings he had made and was going to do something drastic about it. Noah may even have quoted God, who told him, “I have determined... Read more

Robert E. Lee’s Equestrian Statue in Richmond Removed

September 10, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

After years of debate in Virginia’s state legislature, on Wednesday the majestic-looking, bronze statue of Robert E. Lee mounted on a horse, which stood on a raised pedestal in the city of Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, was removed and cut into pieces. It is because there has been an awakening of sorts in our nation about honoring past American figures who were complicit in slavery. The movement that arose this spring, called Black Lives Matter, which was a... Read more

Trust the Facts–Get the Vax

September 7, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

On August 8, I posted, “Religious Exemption from Vaccine Mandates Is Morally Wrong.” On August 20 I posted, “Catholic Church Not Supporting Religious Exemption for COVID Vaccine Mandates.” Today, I learned that former evangelical pastor Curtis Chang, a consulting faculty member at Duke Divinity School, is the co-founder of “Christians and the Vaccine.” They have many videos explaining that neither Christianity nor the Bible advocates opposition to something like the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for covid that have been...

Cancel Florida!

September 7, 2021 By Kermit Zarley

I was planning to have a booth at my first trade show, and it just got canceled. In October, I was going to have a booth for my patented Triangle Book invention at Printing United Expo in the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. It was canceled seven days ago because of the resurgence in this COVID-19 pandemic, which is largely because of the surging Delta variant of it. It is quite a disappointment for me because I’m trying... Read more
