Twenty-one year old Matthew Wolff–playing in his first U.S. Open and second major–took a two shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau to enter tomorrow’s final round at the famed Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York. Wolff scampered around like a wolf through the rough all day, hitting only two fairways in shooting a five-under par 65. Long-hitting de Chambeau reportedly only hit three fairways. So, Wolff is at five-under par 205. The first day he shot 66. This young... Read more
Donald Trump has been from New York all his life. His Trump Organization has always been located in New York City. So, it is appropriate that the elite New York magazine has an extensive article by Jeff Wise entitled “The People V. Donald J. Trump” that lays out a lot of the information about many investigations, both federal but especially local, such as New York State, which show that when Trump exits the White House he may very well be headed...

I have blogged before about the Bible saying, “There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way to death” (Proverbs 14.12 NRSV), and applied this to certain actions of President Donald Trump. Now, with Bob Woodward’s second biography about Donald Tump as president, entitled Rage (released two days ago), we see from Woodward’s quotes and tape recordings of Trump talking to Woodward on the telephone eighteen times over a period of several months for...

President Donald Trump sometimes says he should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Earlier this year, he tweeted that and spelled the word “Nobel” as “Noble.” He caught flack on Twitter for this misspelling. He then responded with one of his signature moves by claiming he was being sarcastic with the word “Noble.” Would someone explain to me how that can be construed as being sarcastic? It seems the Trump Campaign can’t spell any better than the boss. Maybe both the... Read more
Tell-all books about President Donald Trump are flying unto the book shelves like a covey of birds, one right after another, in these closing weeks before the election on November 3. They reveal new and critical information about Trump as president, much of it most devastating. The worst may be Bob Woodward’s book Rage, set to be released tomorrow. What Woodward is doing reminds me of Bolton’s books. John Bolton was President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor for seventeen months... Read more
The U.S. Open golf tournament comes to Winged Foot Golf Club this week for the sixth time in this famous golf club’s history. For many years during the past century, now president Donald Trump was a member here and played many a round. I know, because one of the caddies on the PGA Tour and Senior Tour lived in New York and caddied many times for Trump at Winged Foot. He told me The Donald always paid well–$200 a round.... Read more
Michael Cohen–Donald Trump’s “personal lawyer” and “fix-it man” for ten years–just had his new, 432-page book released Tuesday entitled Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump. Cohen is serving three years in federal prison (now house arrest due to COVID-19) for breaking the law multiple times while working for Trump, some of them at the boss’s direction. In Cohen’s book, he describes Donald Trump as “a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a... Read more
Remember the Access Hollywood tapes that were shown on TV six weeks before Donald Trump was elected as the U.S. president? It showed Billy Bush and Donald Trump having a conversation about “The Apprentice” TV program that helped make Trump into a national celebrity. During that taping, Trump spoke about women to the show’s producer, Billy Bush, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” such as kissing them without their approval and grabbing their... Read more
Today, retired airline captain Chesley Sullenberger–an American hero who saved all 155 passengers when he landed his troubled, commercial airliner in New York’s Hudson River–came out for the first time and slammed President Donald Trump in a series of Twitter tweets for Trump’s reported, derogatory remarks about the U.S. military. Sullenberger’s remarks were directed toward Jeffrey Goldberg’s article in The Atlantic this week entitled “Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers.'” (See my post about it, “Trump...

Readers of my Blog know how much I have detested Donald Trump being our president. I may have posted about it 150 times in the past four years or more. Nothing has turned my stomach, feeling like vomiting, more about him than what I just saw and heard on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” regarding an article written by Jeffrey Goldberg and published in The Atlantic magazine today entitled “Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers.'” Goldberg...
