In the aftermath of the Ryder Cup matches this past weekend at Bethpage Black on Long Island, New York, in which Team Europe defeated Team USA 15 points to 13 points, some European pros complained about misbehavior of the fans. It was especially five time major winner Rory McIlroy of Ireland who complained about it, and rightly so. Several times fans yelled expletives at Rory and other Europeans pros. They yelled derogatory things to Rory’s wife Erica, even throwing beer... Read more

The Ryder Cup starts tomorrow. Although different, this biennial, three-day team event between the U.S. and Europe is the premier tournament in professional golf worldwide. In recent years, Europe surprisingly has won more times than the U.S. has. My new book was published this past week entitled Christ on the PGA Tour (1965-1982). It has a chapter about the founder of the Ryder Cup—Samuel Ryder Jr. It will come has a surprise to most golf fans, and maybe even most... Read more
Donald Trump Scolds the United Nations U.S. President Donald Trump spoke at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York city yesterday for an hour, touting himself and chastises the UN and many member nations as heads of state looked in shock and silence. Perhaps his main attack was about climate change, saying, “If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail.” Donald Trump, who thumbs his nose at detail and science in general,...

I have blogged before about Donald Trump conducting presidential campaigns and making all kinds of braggadocio statements about what he is going to do and then failing to do so as president. For instance, in his third presidential campaign, during last year, he kept saying that if he got reelected as president he would solve Russia’s war in Ukraine on “day one” of his presidency. He said that on the basis of bragging about his relationship with Russia’s President Vladimir... Read more

The latter is because one of the most important items in the Bible is that God chose the descendants of Abraham, whom we now call Jews, to make a covenant with them through which this God would reveal himself to the world. This covenant also involved giving these people, the Jews, a certain piece of real estate in... Read more
UN Conference on Traditional Two-State Solution Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is no prophet. And he either doesn’t know his Bible or he doesn’t believe it, at least about something he said two days ago. Today is the second and last day of a two-day conference conducted at UN headquarters in New York City to discuss the traditional two-state proposal for solving the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It has been prompted by Israel’s devastating, two-year war against Hamas in the Gaza... Read more
I’ve blogged numerous times about Donald Trump and his sorry reputation of cheating at golf. I’ve got a chapter in my book, Bible Predicts Trump Fall, about it. But Mr. Trump applies his penchant for mistaken statistics in other areas of life as well, even during the last few days. Trump the Statistician Donald Trump needs to go back to school and take a course on business statistics. In my freshman year of college, I took two semesters of such... Read more
