Everybody knows that every since President Donald Trump lost the presidential election to former Congressman and Vice President Joe Biden on November 3rd, Trump has been claiming the election was a fraud and that he won it. Yet neither he nor any of his supporters have been able to muster any reliable evidence as proof. Moreover, Trump has been spending his precious time on this, thus being AWOL from governing respecting this virus and the massive vaccination campaign that is... Read more
In November, Donald Trump was accused of possible money laundering at one or both of the golf courses he owns in Scotland. Baron’s reported (11/13/20) that in 2006, The Trump Organization–which consists of about 500 businesses–purchased 1,400 acres of land in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, to professedly build “the world’s best golf course” and for it to provide 6,000 jobs. The golf course got built amid accusations of destruction of natural coastline. Then, in 2014, The Trump Organization purchased the famed Turnberry... Read more
It’s obvious! President Donald Trump is grasping at straws, doing everything he can possibly think of, not to Make American Great Again or help Americans (his lame response overall to COVID-19 proves that), but to remain president for a second term in order to possibly evade court convictions for crimes that could send him to prison. By doing so, he might be able to run out the clock regarding some lawbreaking, that is, go past dates when statutes of limitations... Read more
Donald Trump loves to play golf. He likes it so much that he can play golf at his own golf courses. He owns a bunch of famous, expensive, golf-and-hotel resorts. In fact, Donald Trump owns and/or operates seventeen different golf establishments. I used to compete on the PGA Tour every year at one of my favorite venues–the Doral Open at the Doral golf resort in Miami, and it is now named the Trump National Doral Miami. When Donald Trump...

Since the 1980s, the brash-talking New York City real estate developer Donald Trump has berated China for “unfair trade practices” resulting in China’s exports to the U.S. being far more economically than vice versa. That is called a “trade deficit” for the U.S. in its trade with China. Thus, when Donald Trump campaigned for the U.S. presidency, he blamed China for taking advantage of the U.S. in trade. He indicated that if he became president, he might try to change... Read more
It is so ironical that Evangelicals were a primary force who put Donald Trump in the White House. The man’s history was so opposite of a religious person. But Evangelicals (and Pentecostals) had a transactional relationship with Trump. They would vote for him if he would do two things: oppose abortion to try to get Roe v. Wade overturned, and appoint conservative judges. I don’t think Trump cared about abortion; he previously had endorsed it. And I don’t think Trump... Read more
On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Jesus G. Bernal denied for the second time a request by the mega-church Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, California, to lift state restrictions blocking in-person worship services from being held during the ongoing pandemic this Christmas. The church, as has many others U.S. churches, claimed the restriction prevented it from exercising its fundamental right to practice its religion. Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court had ordered Judge Jesus Bernal to reconsider his earlier,... Read more
Evangelical John MacArthur is one of America’s leading mega-church pastors and an author of many bestselling books. He probably is known mostly for his internationally-syndicated, Bible-teaching, radio broadcast entitled “Grace to You.” Professor Bill Schlegel used to work with John MacArthur in his ministry until about 2.5 years ago. MacArthur fired Bill because he no longer could in good conscience sign a doctrinal statement that included the proclamation that Jesus is God. Thus, Bill had changed his belief about Jesus...

This COVID-19 pandemic that the world is suffering is called “novel” for a reason. Novel means “new.” It’s not only new because it has never happened before. Health experts are learning new information about it all the time. One of the areas where there have been “outbreaks” of this covid is in the slaughterhouses of the meatpacking industry. For example, the news source Reuters reported (Global Ad Media, 6/24/20) in late June concerning covid, “In many rural parts of the... Read more
Two weeks ago I posted this title, “Trump and Jesus on Being a Loser: Part One of Three.” This post documents how Donald Trump as president has called various people “losers” and that his casino operator says “it’s his main attack word.” Actually, Donald Trump speaks derogatorily of others in many ways just because they disagree with him. When Trump does this, he is pretty judgmental of others. Jesus proclaimed in his Sermon on the Mount, “Do not judge, so... Read more
