South Korea’s steady and slow-swinging Sungjae Im shot a five-under par 67 yesterday to take a one-stroke lead over Cameron Smith at The Masters, the first of the four majors in professional golf throughout the year. Smith, one of the hottest players on the PGA Tour, had a bookends round, with a double bogie six on the first and last hole. All Masters patron eyes were on superstar Tiger Woods as he made his debut since surviving a near-fatal car... Read more
Tiger Woods has the golf world buzzing. Thirteen months after a near-fatal auto accident, Tiger Woods announced this morning, on site at Augusta National Golf Club, that he intends to play this week in The Masters Tournament. The only question is whether or not his right leg, which he almost had to have amputated due to the accident, can withstand walking this hilly terrain. I played in The Masters six times. And I can tell you that Augusta National is... Read more
Our U.S. media, such as The New York Times, which I like, keeps on calling Russia’s President Vladimir Putin “Mr. Putin” throughout this Putin War in Ukraine, and it just ticks me off! It is a refusal to recognize what calling a man “mister” means. Our U.S. President Joe Biden is right to call him a “butcher” and a “war criminal.” Scumbag, autocrat Putin belongs in a cage with predator wild animals because of his unprovoked war in Ukraine, a...

Five-time Masters winner Tiger Woods reportedly arrived at Augusta National today to further prepare to play in the Masters this week. He played a practice round there last Tuesday with his 11-year old son Charlie. Tiger said he will not make the decision on whether or not to compete this week until perhaps the very last moment, either Wednesday evening or even Thursday morning before his scheduled first round. Tiger Woods last won The Masters in 2019 in one of... Read more
Jill Wine-Banks was a prosecutor of the Watergate break-in scandal that caused U.S. President Richard Nixon to be forced to resign his presidency in disgrace on August 8, 1974. Ms. Wine-Banks is a legal analyst for NBC News. She appears often on television for interviews, sometimes comparing the Trump presidency to the Nixon-Watergate affair, and she is one of my favorite such commentators. Ms. Wine-Banks wrote an article that was published today by NBC News entitled, “I investigated Watergate. Trump’s... Read more
When Russia’s President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24th the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and his troops then began doing so and attacking Ukraine, hours later U.S. officials told Ukraine’s young and rather new President Volodymyr Zelenskyy they could immediately fly him out of Ukraine to safety. He replied, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.” In fact, the former comedian and actor had already played this part, so he knew it quite well as a courageous... Read more
It was reported today that the White House phone log on the Capitol riot day of January 6th has a seven-hour and thirty-seven minute gap in which President Donald Trump did not make or receive any phone calls. Yet before and after that time period, the same phone log shows that he had several phone calls. Experts say there may be an innocent explanation for this, since Trump was known to use other peoples’ phones in making and receiving calls.... Read more
Donald Trump says he got a hole-in-one this past Saturday while playing golf and that he doesn’t like braggers about such things; yet he still bragged about it last night by issuing a written statement about it that was published. He described the shot as follows,””It took place at Trump International Golf Course Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on the 7th hole, which was playing 181-yards into a slight wind. I hit a 5-iron, which sailed magnificently into a... Read more
Putin’s War in Ukraine is stalling as U.S. President Joe Biden flew to Europe and met with government leaders and others in Brussels, the headquarters of both the EU and NATO the past week. The agenda for discussion was Putin’s War and how they should respond to it further, applying more sanctions on Russia, weaning Europe off of Russian natural gas, and firming up the necessary unity within the EU and NATO, which latter has indeed been happening. Then Biden... Read more
I don’t listen to Howard Stern as host of his “Howard Stern Show” on Sirius XM. I have in the past watched his previous TV program a few times. He’s too far afield with bad language and such for me as a Christian. But the guy does get to the point–call a spade a spade–and thus sometimes speaks the truth. Five days ago on his radio program, as reported in the media, I think Stern nailed it by calling the... Read more
