Today, President Donald Trump finally admitted that the U.S. likely will suffer 100,000 to 200,000 deaths from this coronavirus pandemic that the whole world is undergoing. He said if we have only 100,000 deaths from it, his administration will have done “a very good job.” And he extended the federal guideline of people practicing social distancing to April 30. Thus, he also abandoned his desire of seeing churches packed out on Easter Sunday, April 12, as if he was trying... Read more
Several state governors recently have ordered their citizens to remain in their homes to avoid getting the furiously-spreading coronavirus. This “lockdown” now consists of half of all Americans. In these states, public transportation is shut down and businesses are closed. Their employees have been sent home or are working from their homes when possible. The only exceptions are “essential” businesses that remain open, such as groceries, pharmacies, and hospitals. Yet today, the clown in the White House–who at first so... Read more
This coronavirus crisis is so depressing! But golf has come along to give us a little humor about it. Despite all of the professional and amateur sports organizations cancelling the playing of their competitions due to the current coronavirus pandemic, called COVID-19, the United States Golf Association U.S.G.A) is bucking the tide by encouraging golfers to keep playing. Evidence of this is that the U.S.G.A released a statement today about a new and temporary rule for “holing out.” To play... Read more
President Trump keeps trying to deflect criticism against him for his mishandling of this coronavirus pandemic. Indeed, at first he said Democrats were blowing it out of proportion, calling it their “new hoax.” That’s because he had constantly called the Mueller investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election “a hoax” and “a witch hunt.” So, he started doing the same thing regarding the spreading of this most deadly coronavirus. He lies about it. Thursday, Trump was at it... Read more
This post is a followup to yesterday’s post, “COVID-19 and Jewish Dietary Laws.” In it, I compare COVID-19 and some recent virus epidemics with Jewish dietary laws first set forth in the Jewish scriptures, in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. I do it because scientists have discovered that some of these virus epidemics have been traced to the human interaction and even consumption of animals that these scriptures declare as “unclean” and therefore forbidden for human consumption, such as pigs...

The Current Coronavirus Pandemic It seems to me that the current coronavirus pandemic, called COVID-19, that the world is experiencing may prove the existence of the God of Israel. I don’t mean exactly as divine judgment imposed upon us, but that it may have occurred due to the failure of humans to observe, to a certain extent, the dietary laws that Israel’s God gave his people, the Hebrews, and that are...

In only a few weeks, the coronavirus pandemic, called COVID-19, is taking its toll on the U.S. and nations throughout the world like nothing we have ever seen before. It started in China, and I intend to post something about that soon. Surprising to most of us Americans, this virus is now exposing the U.S. as being, contrary to what President Trump has been saying until this week, seriously inefficient in having a protective health system against viruses. To make... Read more
Mexico may need to build that wall on the U.S.-Mexico border that U.S. President Donald Trump is always harping about that he is trying to get built. He’s doing it to keep immigrants from illegally crossing from Mexico into the U.S., mostly to find a better a life. In Trump’s political campaign for the U.S. presidency during late 2015, he proclaimed publicly for the first time that Mexico was to blame for “tremendous infectious disease . . . pouring across...

Well, I said in my last post I would not post about Trump for a while. I wasn’t quite right. I will post if I believe what he says or does relates to Christian teaching and or the Bible. Today, President Trump gave a lengthy speech outside the White House in a News Conference with about a couple dozen people he collected from the federal government and private sector to accompany him. The main takeaway was that he declared a... Read more
U.S. President Donald Trump’s several recent, public statements about the spreading “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated COVID-19 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention=CDC) is just further proof of what I’ve been writing on my blog every since he campaigned for the U.S. presidency (maybe 150 posts until now) that he is unqualified to be president of this nation. Since he constantly and unjustly, in my opinion, berates the media by calling it “FAKE NEWS,” I’m now calling him a... Read more
