I’m auditing a Yale course on “The Making of Modern Ukraine.” The class was taught last Fall of ’22 by Timothy Snyder, author and historian of Eastern European history. As he aptly teaches, “history is about encounters, origins… everything is connected.” The class covers Ukraine going back 2,000 years, to ancient Greek/Roman times. I’ve gleaned…

2022 Christmas Message
Civil strife comes and goes! Just like Russian aggression this year in Ukraine, Rome was occupying Israel and persecuting it’s inhabitants 2000 years ago. In that world of turmoil a fragile infant was born, one who was called the Son of God, basically before His birth. Jesus wasn’t the type of spiritual leader who wanted…
The Fuss About Money Appropriated To Ukraine
Some in America are genuinely troubled about the money Congress is appropriating to Ukraine. No one wishes to “throw money away” to a small foreign country or lose face again in a foreign war. This brief article explains the “Lend-Lease” agreement we have with Ukraine, and gives a glimpse into other driving forces in the…
My Personal Thoughts On Ukraine War
The idea of a modern day leader like Putin literally toying with the prospect of nuclear war in front of the entire world for his evil gain, just ranks as one of the worst types of war threats any dictator has ever made! We expect that kind of deranged threat from Iran’s Khomenei or Kim…
Comments on “Climate Warming”
“Climate Warming” to me is preached like an End Time prophecy which says life on earth is being threatened by too many noxious gases in our atmosphere. If civilization doesn’t adhere to green energy protocols, and give up gas/oil/coal, then life on Earth as we know it is over. I don’t think anyone would argue…
Christians and the Ukraine War
Some in the Twitter world might think that pastors get in the pulpit and just babble things off the top of their heads to sound impressive. Maybe that’s how they interpreted a pastor they heard once. They might assume from some Christians, or some politicians, that Jesus was a pacifist, and all we need is…
Lies and Biolabs, Russian Style

The war in Ukraine has been one of those wars as it’s being waged almost exclusively against the civilian population. The war is in It’s second month now, and there’s now many accounts on Twitter ablaze with hourly updates, speculations and…
Putin’s Rant, Mental Chaos on 3/16/22
Yesterday I watched a startling video on Twitter showing Vladimir Putin ranting about what’s happening to Russia in the last couple weeks. So far, I haven’t seen the video on U.S. news, but the public should be aware of it. In the video Putin glared into the camera and went on a rambling tirade about…

‘The 3 Reasons Students Kill’, by a Homicide Detective
I attended a great in-service training seminar last week held by a local Los Angeles Police officer. I later on found this following article in my new Twitter feed. It’s by J. Warner Wallace, a former Los Angeles Homicide/Cold Case Detective. He made extensive notes on cases in our area to understand why people murder,…
