Original Article

American golfer Scottie Scheffler triumphed at the 2024 Masters Tournament in Augusta on Sunday, but it is his comments about his faith that have also garnered attention in Christian circles. Scheffler, the favorite going into the tournament and the number-one-ranked golfer in the world, won by an impressive four shots, defeating Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, England’s Tommy Fleetwood (69) and fellow Americans and Collin Morikawa and Max Homa. (X) When asked earlier in the week as to whether golf defines him, Schleffer said it did not. “I’m a faithful guy,” he responded. “I believe in a Creator. I believe in Jesus.

A great golfer and a fine man. A splendid example of what I wish more professional athletes could be like in terms of being the kind of person the younger generation of up and coming athletes, both men and women, could emulate. Golf-wise, at age 27, I think he'll be in Nicklaus and Tiger territory by the time he hangs 'em up. I sure hope so.

There were more like him in America just a few decades ago. Teacher's Union and too many government entitlements ruined it.

#3, I agree to some degree but what has really changed is the destruction of the family. All those values we admired, honesty, loyalty, perseverance, hard work, and belief in God has taken a backseat to selfishness. We are an inward looking population and that is a recipe for disaster. Many in our younger generations are a testament to the idea of self love. They are consumed with themselves and give little thought to others. It is all about appearance and consumerism. When someone comes on the scene with real values, it is somewhat shocking. I applaud this young man and wish him only the best. He earned that green jacket in more ways than one. Well done!

I can't help but notice that there are quite a few men in sports and entertainment who are Christians and not ashamed to say so. Scottie Scheffler joins men like Harrison Butker, Mark Wahlberg and others in their devotion to God. Sadly, I don't see too many women in sports or acting joining them.

Invited to the White House? That’ll be a scene. A follower of Christ meeting with Satan’s favorite lap dog. I would have far better things to do, like rearranging my book shelves. I saw the final round. I was impressed with his temperate demeanor.

Good for Scotty. There were times during the third and four rounds when every iron shot flew thirty yards over the green. Seems to me, this is when the caddie should have stepped in and told Scotty to use one less club because every time his ball flew over the green, he bogeyed. He won by four shots, but really his sending the ball over the green kept the others in the tournament. He could have won by eight or nine stokes.

The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 opinion against three illegal aliens fighting their deportation orders from the United States, claiming they did not receive proper notice of their removal hearings in federal immigration court. When illegal aliens Esmelis Campos-Chaves, Varinder Singh, and Raul Daniel Mendez-Colín failed to appear before federal immigration judges, they were ordered deported in absentia. In each case, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sent initial Notices to Appear (NTA) in immigration court that did not specify the time and place of the hearings.

Former President Trump is making a special 78th birthday appearance for fans in his “Club 47” group at a venue near his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Fla. Congressional Republicans feted the party’s presumptive presidential nominee on Thursday during Trump’s first post-Jan. 6, 2021, visit to the Capitol. Should Trump return to the White House, he would be on track to edge out President Biden as the Oval Office’s oldest occupant by the end of his second administration. The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. EDT. Watch the live video above.

Nancy Pelosi is losing it. The former Democrat Speaker of the House is the walking personification of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Her hatred for the former (and likely next) president burns white-hot, as evidenced by her petulant, childish, immature, and unbecoming incident in which she tore up her copy of President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. Now, she's just becoming pathetic, as we see in her recent interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, where she begged the Trump family and the GOP to "stage an intervention" to prevent Trump from running. Why? Probably because she can see that he's winning.

A newly released video showed Joe Biden becoming severely triggered while being questioned by a reporter during an "influencer" event at the White House. Independent journalist Jonathan M. Katz, who has a sizable social media following, confronted the president with his phone in hand, asking about civilian deaths in Gaza. Biden was none too pleased. He snapped and attempted to make some kind of threat involving throwing Katz's phone. It's hard to tell what his intention was because his senility got in the way and he completely flubbed what he was trying to say. (X Video)

With President Biden arguing that former President Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan decided it would be a good idea to try to help make that case. On Friday’s CNN News Central, O’Sullivan was seen on the road with Trump voters, where he was aghast at the idea that they view America as a republic, not a democracy. In one clip, O’Sullivan was speaking to a couple when he declared, “Obviously, there's a lot of criticisms of Trump that he is bad for democracy. That he's bad for American democracy.” A woman interrupted him to assert, “Can I say something? We are a republic. We’re not a democracy,”

Fortunately, Friday is Joe Biden's last day in Italy for the G7, so the time that he can embarrass us overseas at the conference is thankfully coming to an end. We've seen him wandering and people having to help redirect him back to where he was supposed to be going. We've seen him giving garbled answers and snapping at a reporter because the reporter dared to ask him a question at his presser that wasn't about Ukraine. That managed to get a reaction out of the White House Correspondents Association. They threw Biden under the bus in their statement, saying there were no "deals" as he claimed.

President Joe Biden reportedly believes Hunter Biden is a victim of the weaponization of justice following his gun conviction on Tuesday. A Delaware jury found Hunter guilty of all three gun charges. He faces up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines. The octogenarian pledged last week in France he would not pardon Hunter. He has not, however, spoken about whether he would deliver a commutation. The president feels guilty over Hunter’s legal predicament, two people not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations about Hunter told Politico.

The House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) draft of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposed a $24 billion pay raise to enlisted U.S. service members. However, the Biden Administration said that it “strongly opposes” approving such a “significant” and “permanent” pay raise, citing budgetary constraints. On the contrary, the Democratic administration recently just approved spending nearly seven times the amount to fund Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia.

"Some are speculating that [Presidentish Joe] Biden," he wrote for the Washington Examiner on Tuesday, "may be medically revitalized during his visit to the Maryland presidential resort." Others aren't merely speculating.
