Jim Furyk, the unorthodox-swinging golf pro with 17 career wins on the regular PGA Tour won the top tournament among the 50 years and over crowd on the Champions Tour today–the U.S. Senior Open. He held off Retief Goosen and Mike Weir to finish ahead of them by three strokes with a one-over par 71 and a total of 7-under par 273 at the Omaha Country Club in Omaha, Nebraska. This win fits nicely together with his U.S. Open in... Read more
Over two weeks ago, on June 25th, the Pentagon released its long-awaited report about UFOs, that is, “unidentified flying objects.” The U.S. intelligence community now prefers to call them UAPs, which is short for “unidentified aerial phenomena.” The report states, “Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernible means of propulsion. In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated... Read more
On May 11, 2019, I wrote a blog post entitled, “Trump Won’t Like Notes at The Judgment.” It was about Congress questioning White House lawyer Don McGahn about the Mueller report. I explained therein, “President Trump had permitted Don McGahn to be interviewed by the Mueller team for about thirty hours, which is a lot. Mueller’s report further states that Trump once saw McGahn taking notes of their conversation. Trump then said to McGahn, ‘Why do you take notes? Lawyers... Read more
How things do change! This week, nearly six months after the January 6th riot at the Capitol, the U.S. Department of Justice arrested several supporters of former President Donald Trump who participated in that insurrection by physically and/or verbally attacking news reporters, or news photographers, and/or destroying their professional equipment. And the Department of Justice, under the new leadership of Attorney General Merrick Garland, may not be finished with arresting these type of rioters. Donald Trump had throughout his presidency...

I think so. Here’s what has happened. On June 17th, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted favorably for a statement it drafted which will deny the eucharist to any Catholic known to favor abortion. The Roman Catholic Church’s official position has been that abortion is a grave sin. The eucharist, also called “communion,” is the Church’s practice of offering bread and wine for gathered congregants to digest in a solemn ceremony administered by priests. Catholics are taught that the... Read more
Spaniard Jon Rahm made his move into expected superstar status today by winning his first major golf championship, the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, in blazing style. He birdied the last two holes with lengthy, very curving birdie putts to beat South African Louis Oosterhuizen, the 2010 U.S. Open winner, by one stroke. And when Rahm made that last putt, the big man practically shook the ground when he rushed forward in ecstasy with a right arm upper-cut punch into... Read more
Former U.S. President Donald Trump was up to one of his favorite past times last Wednesday night by phoning Fox News and talking to Sean Hannity live on television. He was ranting again about his outsized grievance against “windmills.” We sane folk know them as wind turbines that increasingly contribute to green energy instead those polluting, coal-fired, power stations that Trump promotes since he is a climate denier. Trump exclaimed to Hannity and his millions of TV viewers,... Read more
After three rounds in the U.S. Open Championship at Torrey Pines (South Course), near San Diego in California, three PGA Tour pros are tied for first place at 5-under par 208: South African Louis Oosterhuizen, American Russell Henley, and Canadian Mackenzie Hughes. Lurking two strokes behind them at 3-under par 210 are long-ball hitter American Bryson De Chambeau, the defending champion, and Ireland’s four-time major winner Rory McIlroy. The U.S. Open is one of golf’s four major tournaments, the others... Read more
There is a movement of people in the U,S., and throughout much of the world, called “anti-vaxxers” in relation to the vaccines now available to protect against the pandemic called COVID-19 that has so far killed 600,000 Americans. Yet people getting the COVID-19 vaccine reduces the chance of other people getting this deadly virus because of it is very contagious, thus easily transmittable for human to human. (See my previous post about “Non-Vaxxer Pro Athletes.” I think anti-vaxxers, who... Read more
Now that Americans have been getting vaccinated for COVID-19 the past few months, there is a movement going on in which people choose not be vaccinated for it, called non-vaxxers.” Some are activist anti-vaxxers. Why? People have different reasons. Some don’t want to risk side effects. But the chance of getting a harmful side effect from a COVID vaccine, especially those administered here in the U.S. such as from Moderna or Johnson and Johnson, is so extremely minimal as to...
