Thinking positive is absolutely necessary to achieve success, whether it’s in business, personal relationships, and just about everything else in life, including sports. I know this well because of my profession in competing full time on the PGA Tour and its Champions Tour for thirty years. You’ve got to envision your goal and set your mind to achieving it. It won’t happen unless you think you can do it. That’s positive thinking. Yet I believe positive thinking can be overdone.... Read more
President Donald Trump is doing everything he can to stay out of prison. It’s because there are multiple investigations of him in New York that have a strong possibility of finding him guilty of criminal activity regarding tax and insurance fraud in his past business dealings and campaign election law violations in 2016. Several in Trump’s presidential orbit have already gone to prison, including his personal lawyer Michael Cohen for doing what Trump told him to do–pay off women to... Read more
Until this year, Israel has only had diplomatic relations with two countries in the Middle East and North Africa: it’s two immediate neighbors, Egypt and Jordan. But weeks ago, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain normalized relations with Israel. Nevertheless, all other Arab countries still refuse relations with the State of Israel, which therefore includes its immediate northern neighbor Lebanon. But this week, Israel and Lebanon, which actually have remained in a state of war since 1982, announced that they... Read more
Although I have heavily criticized President Donald Trump many times in my blog posts, I sincerely pray always that the man have a significant emotional experience (SEE) leading to genuine repentance of his sins and true faith in God. And so, despite Trump now having COVID-19, I have not changed about that. I wish him well with his physical health, but especially with his spiritual health. The Washington Post‘s celebrated biographer of president, Bob Woodward, who was very significant in... Read more
Chris Wallace–TV anchor for Fox News–was the moderator Tuesday night for the first of three scheduled debates between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden leading up to the presidential election on November 3. Since the debate, Wallace has been plummeted on social media and by many political experts alleging that the debate was such a chaotic and somewhat worthless affair mostly because Wallace lost control of it by allowing Trump, with the louder voice, to constantly interrupt...

Tonight was the First Debate leading up to the presidential election come November 3 between current U.S. President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. To me, Biden was the clear winner mostly because Trump came across as such a bully by constantly interrupting not only Biden but also moderator Chris Wallace. Added to this was the fact that Trump’s tone was almost always louder than the other two men. An example of Trump’s bulling was that at one... Read more
Ever since Donald J. Trump started campaigning for the U.S. presidency until today, the main question that many American voters have had about him is his federal tax returns. Despite a tradition reaching back over fifty years, those running for president had always made their federal tax returns public, that is, until Donald Trump. His repeated retort to this failure of disclosure was always that the IRS did not allow making his returns public since he was under IRS investigation.... Read more
William Barr was the U.S. Attorney General for two years during the President H. W. Bush administration, in 1991 through 1993. Before that he headed the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel under President Bush. In July 1989, Barr drafted a memo for the general counsels of other federal agencies in which he alleged that Congress undermines executive power, and he laid out proposals of how to oppose it. TNR related in its newsletter on June 8 this year concerning... Read more
I am writing a book in my Still Here series on biblical eschatology about the Bible’s prediction that the ancient city of Babylon, located in present central Iraq, will become the foundation of the greatest city in the world and then instantly disappear from sight at the end of the age. It is in the last book in the Bible, the apocalyptic book of Revelation, in Revelation 18. In recent times, many scholars have interpreted this portion of scripture as... Read more
Bryson DeChambeau overcame his two strokes behind Matthew Wolff, starting the day today, to win the U.S. Open at Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, New York, by six strokes over second place finisher Wolff with a closing three-under par 67 today for a six-under par total of 274. Everyone is talking about how Bryson–the so-called Mad Scientist and Muscle Man–is changing the way this game of golf should be played. It was DeChambeau’s seventh win in six years on the PGA...
