Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, who just regained his status as the #1 pro golfer in the world, America’s Matt Kuchar, and Australia’s Adam Scott are tied for the lead at ten-under par 203 in the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational being contested at the famed Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, which is sort of a suburb of sprawling Los Angeles. Many other top names are close behind them, nipping at their heels. The final round is today, and the warm... Read more
Ninety-six year old Charlie Munger is the Vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and the close, long-time friend of its Chairman Warren Buffet. These two guys are supposedly America’s best stock pickers for at least the past fifty years. Wednesday, Munger was asked what he thought about 48-year old Elon Musk. We’ll get to Munger’s answer, later. First, let’s take a brief look at Elon Musk. Although Elon Musk was born in South Africa, he was not born with a gold... Read more
The USA is well known for providing foreign aid every year to what the U.S. Congress deems as deservingly poor and struggling countries that embrace democracy. Annual U.S. foreign aid last year totaled $39.2 billion. That might seem like a lot, but it is still slightly less than 1% of the annual, federal government’s budget. No nation has received more of this aid than Israel through the history of this aid, with Israel getting about $3 billion per year for... Read more
Nick Taylor of Canada just won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links in Monterey, California, by four strokes with a 19-under over Kevin Streelman, with Phil Mickelson one stroke back of Kevin in third place. The Stoic Taylor, who doesn’t seem to let anything bother him with his intense concentration, looked like he would set the throttle on cruise control starting the back nine today, having a five stroke lead over Phil Mickelson, who...

This week I received my third USPTO patent for my trademarked Triangle Book (“self-supporting book”) invention. This is quite an achievement for me since I had given up on this project for nearly three years. After eight years, my daughter and I are about to restart our non-exclusive licensing campaign for the Triangle Book format to book publishers. But this time we have two offerings for them: a book format to license and a bookstand to sell. I’m psyched! Yes,... Read more
Nick Taylor shot a 66 today to take a one stroke lead in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am over the aging, superstar, lefty Phil Mickelson, a five-time winner of this event, who scrambled like crazy at Pebble Beach Golf Links to shoot 67. Taylor is 17-under par after three rounds, with a 198 total. This unique event on the PGA Tour is spread out over three golf courses and pairs one amateur with one pro for three days. Then there...

This week the U.S. Senate voted not to remove President Trump from office while Mitt Romney–a devout Mormon, former CEO of Staples, former governor of Masschusetts, who was the Republican nominee in the 2012 presidential election and is now a senator from Utah–was the sole Republican in the Republican-controlled Senate who voted to remove the president for abuse of power. Romney gave a speech on the Senate floor yesterday revealing why he so voted to remove Trump. He cited his... Read more
On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate acquitted President Trump of two House impeachment charges: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The vote was completely along party lines except that one Republican senator voted not to acquit Trump–Utah’s Mitt Romney. He was the Republican nominee for president in the 2012 presidential election and thus the leader of the party at that time. Today, President Trump gave a long, rambling speech to Republican members of Congress gathered in the East Room of... Read more
Webb Simpson defeated Tony Finau on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff today to win the Waste Management Phoenix Open at the TPC Stadium Course in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was Simpson’s sixth win on the PGA Tour, and it left Finau–who has been knocking at the door so often of late–still searching for his second win. Simpson has won two big ones: the 2012 U.S. Open and the 2018 Players Championship. It was a thrilling finish once again, of... Read more
