Webb Simpson–the 2012 U.S. Open and 2018 Players champion–won the RBC Heritage Classic at Harbor Town on Hilton Head Island today. Simpson birdied his last five out of seven holes to defeat Abraham Ancer by one stroke for a tournament record 72-hole score of 262. It was Simpson’s seventh win of the PGA Tour. Right now, Webb Simpson is rated the fifth best professional golfer in the world. This was the second tournament since the Tour resumed its tournament schedule,... Read more
Last night, President Donald Trump held his first political rally since COVID-19 struck with a vengeance nearly four months ago. For days prior to this rally, Trump campaign staff had claimed that over 1 million people had requested tickets for seats in the 19,000-seat arena called BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The campaign was not selling the tickets; rather, it was just offering them free. It appears they did that merely to try to make it a marketing scheme so... Read more
Daniel Berger just won the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, in the first hole of a sudden-death playoff with Collin Morikawa. The twenty-seven year old Berger had a par four on the short 16th hole to twenty-three year old Morikawa’s bogey. Both players had tied for first place after 72 holes of the regular competition, with 15 under par totals of 265. It was Berger’s third win on the PGA Tour. Morikawa, who won... Read more
Back in September, 2017, NFL San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a professing Christian, took a knee to the ground during the playing of the National Anthem. His intention was not to disrespect the American flag; rather, it was to draw the attention of the American public to racial inequality and police brutality, especially against blacks. Soon afterwards, President Donald Trump–who used to say “you’re fired” repeatedly on The Apprentice TV show that made him much more famous–in a political rally... Read more
After three months of disappearance of the PGA Tour due to national lockdown of the economy because of the terrible COVID-19 viral disease, U.S. pro golf is back, at least partially. The first tournament is being played this week in Fort Worth, Texas. It is the old Colonial National Invitation Tournament (the oldest tournament on the PGA Tour, since 1947), played at Colonial Country Club and renamed the Charles Schwab Challenge. Xander Schauffele has a one stroke lead after 54... Read more
The rhetoric is escalating between Washington, DC’s young, black, mayor lady Muriel Bowser and U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump is the cause of this escalation. He acts like he runs the whole country, including the nation’s capitol, where the White House is located, but he doesn’t. There are fifty state governors and thousands of city mayors in this country who have their own jurisdiction of governance that cannot be invaded by the nations’ president. We’re seeing this clash of power... Read more
II’m late about this, but a disturbing study was published about ten days ago showing that at least 36,000 U.S. lives would have been saved if U.S. authorities in Washington, D.C., starting with President Donald Trump, would have taken this coronavirus called COVID-19 seriously only one week earlier by trying to prevent its spread. The New York Times reported about this study in an article that begins as follows: “If the United States had begun imposing social distancing measures one week... Read more
I’m about to finish a book about COVID-19 and comparing it to the Bible’s food laws in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. I expect to have it finished and available by the end of this month as an e-book on amazon.com’s Kindle Direct Publishing and as a print copy with their CreateSource. It is an enlargement of my series of blog posts I did in late March and up to mid-April. It will be Book Three in my STILL SERIES... Read more
U.S. President Donald Trump keeps sinking in quicksand. First, he was investigated by the special counsel Robert Mueller for two years, and the report says the Trump administration, led by Trump, appears to have tried about ten times to obstruct justice. Second, the House impeached Trump, though the Senate did not. Third, Trump continues to obstruct justice by preventing his people–such as former White House lawyer Don McGahn and former National Security Advisor John Bolton–from obeying a court subpoena by...

U.S. President Donald J. Trump had a famous uncle, John G. Trump. For many years he was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I don’t know, but I suspect The Donald got his middle name, John, from this uncle, who died in 1985. So, The Donald says he knew his Uncle John and had various talks with him over the years. John G. Trump was a very celebrated scientist. His chief scientific achievement was in helping the... Read more
