There is much diplomatic effort going on right now about Putin’s War in Ukraine. Even Ukraine President Zelenskyy is sounding a bit optimistic about it. Yet in his virtual speech to the U.S. Congress today, he called on U.S. President Biden to be a “leader of peace” while also pleading again for the West, led by the U.S., to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine. The U.S. creating a no-fly zone over Ukraine in this war would effectively be widening... Read more
The Washing Post Magazine has an article today entitled “Good Talk” that I think is much needed in our increasingly divisive society. It tells about a new movement in some colleges and universities that helps students to have civil conversation about topics on which there can be sharp disagreement. Much needed in our society today. Social media is a prime example, in which people can get so inhumane in how they express themselves. It’s perhaps nowhere more evident than in... Read more
After Russia’s President Vladimir Putin had his military invade Ukraine, on February 24th, the Orthodox Christian Studies Center of Fordham University in the USA issued a statement in various languages which has so far been signed by over 500 church leaders, many of them in various Orthodox Church denominations around the world, which condemns Russia’s current and unprovoked assault on Ukraine. This statement is entitled “A Declaration on the ‘Russian World’ (Ruskii Mir) Teaching.” It is a condemnation of an... Read more

The Bible has many narratives about angels appearing to humans and sometimes conversing with them. However, there are many questions that people have about angels that the Bible does not answer or provide information about. Here are some of my beliefs about angels that I have gleaned from the Bible: 1. Angels are spirit beings who, like God, do not have physical bodies (Hebrews 1.14). 2. As spirit beings, angels do not die. Earthly flesh dies; spirit does not (James... Read more
Russia and Ukraine held high-level talks today and, in contrast to all other such meetings, which have been many in only 18 days of war, both sides indicated they made progress. Under several false pretenses, on February 24th Russian troops amassed on the the mutual invaded and attacked the unprovoked, innocent, democratic “nation,” which Putin denies. The result has been that 2.5 million Ukrainians, almost all being women and children, have fled to neighboring countries to escape the path of... Read more
Putin’s War in Ukraine, and many things associated with it, is accomplishing exactly the opposite of his goal of promoting his view of authoritarian government in Russia. Vladimir Putin has given many speeches and written essays declaring how much he absolutely detests democracy and its human rights. Putin may be winning the war in Ukraine, but he is losing the war of authoritarianism versus democracy. And this loss will become greatly magnified when the Russian people eventually find out the...

I posted three weeks ago, on February 19, what my Grandpa said to me when the Russians shot Sputnik up into earth orbit on October 4, 1957, “You can’t trust the Russians,” even though we were looking at it on TV. He was wrong about sputnik. Of course, those were the early years of the Cold War, and my grandpa had good reasons for believing that. Turns out my grandpa was right about right now. Early last year, the Russian... Read more
Three new, convincing studies support the original thesis that the coronavirus designated COVID-19 originated in the wet market named Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in the mega city Wuhan (population 11 million people) in China. This is what I documented in my book, Moses Predicted COVID-19. These studies involved multiple scientists including some from other countries besides the U.S., including one from China. Three Americans involved in both studies were Dr. Michael Worebey of Arizona State University, virologist Joel Wertheim of... Read more
Russian forces continue to surround major cities in Ukraine to bombard and flatten them with constant heavy artillery and other explosives. Two million Ukrainians have fled the country’s total population of 44 million people in only two weeks. Ukraine’s military forces are putting up such a courageous fight, with their President Volodymyr Zelenskyy becoming such a hero. Yet the situation looks pretty bad for Ukraine. The UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson penned an op-ed piece yesterday in The New... Read more
