As Russia’s unprovoked aggression against its democratic neighbor Ukraine intensifies, Russian President Vladimir Putin is threatening the U.S. for its arming of Ukraine. He says the U.S. is thereby fighting against Russia in proxy. But it’s not just the U.S. A total of 40 countries are now coordinating arms shipments to Ukraine in its heroic effort to try to stave off Russia, often depicted as a “bear.” So, if Putin accuses the U.S. of fighting Russia by delivering arms to...

Moscow’s Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, is a prime enabler of President Vladimir Putin’s War in Ukraine. Kirill blesses the Russian military forces as they then invade the innocent and democratic neighbor, Ukraine, to destroy the place for the purpose of annexing it to Russia. Not only that, Kirill has said of Putin’s leadership that it is “a miracle of God.” Putin and Kirill, together, say this warm, which Putin designates as a “special military operation,” is...

Republican Donald Trump first campaigned as U.S. president, in 2015-2016, with a platform which asserted that as a non-politician and businessman, he would shake up things in Washington that would result in a better economy, among other things. In 2020, one way in which President Trump attempted to do that was to nullify certain environmental laws having to do with infrastructure under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) passed by Congress in 1970, legislation which was signed into law by...

I am sort of a fan of Elon Musk. I’m also an investor in Tesla. But I admit that Mr. Musk sometimes gets me upset and worried. Because of it, I’ve sold and later repurchased Tesla shares in my investment portfolio a few different times. Nearly a year ago, on May 8th last year, this CEO of Tesla and SpaceX appeared on Saturday Night Live on TV with his mother who used to be a model. At that time, Elon... Read more
Last month–in the court case in which President Donald Trump’s attorney John Eastman refused to turn over 101 emails to the special House committee investigating the January 6th riot and events leading up to it–federal Judge David Carter ruled that the emails had to be released to the committee. Eastman, who had claimed executive privilege but was denied, had been a prime proponent who had engineered the coup to stop Congress’ certification of the Electoral College process that day, thus...

In a political rally in North Carolina Saturday night, called “Save America,” former President Donald Trump exclaimed to the crowd, “I’m the most honest human being, perhaps, that God ever created.” At least he added the qualifier “perhaps.” I’d like to reply to Mr. Trump about that. You probably think I would make some statement arguing that he is not very honest, which fact checkers determined of his presidency. For instance, The Washington Post Fact Checker team claimed President Trump... Read more
I’ve blogged three times about the Russian Orthodox Church’s support of Putin’s War in Ukraine and his vision for Russian World, which means Greater Russia or the restoration of the medieval Russian Empire, which included Ukraine and much of the rest of Eastern Europe (“Russian World . . . Part 1;” “Russian World . . . Part 2;” “Is Putin a ‘Defender of Christianity . . .“). It has a lot to do with the history of Christianity. What a... Read more
Scottie Scheffler looked like he was in total control all the way today at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, until the very end, except that then it didn’t matter–almost. Scheffler shot a one-under par 71 today to win the Masters by three strokes over Rory McIlroy, who charged from way back to post by far the best score of the day, an eight-under par 64. (McIlroy needs to win the Masters to become one of only six golf pros who... Read more
Scottie Scheffler shot one-under par 71 today to reduce his lead from five to three strokes at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, as he headed into tomorrow’s final round. It was windy and chilly weather conditions that kept anyone from shooting better than 71 except for a four-under par 68 posted by first round co-leader Cameron Smith to put him alone in second place. Thus, although Scheffler has a smaller lead on the field at the 54-hole mark than he... Read more
Scottie Scheffler continued to be the hottest player on the PGA Tour this year by shooting a five-under par 67 today to take a five-stroke lead halfway through The Masters Tournament. His eight-under par 136 total ties a tournament record. Scottie is only twenty-five years old, and he attended the University of Texas. Four players are tied for second: defending champion Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, Charl Schwartzel of South Africa, Ireland’s Shane Lowry, and Sungjae Im of South Korea. All... Read more
