The Irrelevancy Of Eamon Lynch Continues

Punching Bag Of The Week: Bryson DeChambeau

Lynch: Why Bryson DeChambeau and LIV’s other point-missers are protesting their equal treatment under the rules
Boring writing from a hateful little man, Eamon Lynch.

The Golf Channel Eamon Lynch is at it again, this time whining and attacking Bryson DeChambeau.

Instead of confronting DeChambeau on the merits of his argument, he goes into personal attacks in an attempt to ridicule DeChambeau in the eyes of the few readers he happens to have.

DeChambeau was talking about the world golf rankings and commenting about the organization’s stance on granting ranking points to LIV Golf players during his press conference in Bangkok.

Instead of commenting on DeChambeau opinion, Lynch goes on petty attacks.

This is not the first time, Eamon has gone on this tirade. It is obvious he hates LIV Golf and its success is eating his insides.

Sure, he recycles his talking points about LIV Golf, the Saudis, blah, blah, blah, but that is as much of a substance you are going to get from Eamon.

Instead of arguing, what he believes, are the shortcomings of LIV Golf, he goes on attacking everyone who has anything to do with LIV Golf.

He has complained about everything and everyone at LIV Golf. LIV Golf has driven him insane and it is funny to watch and read.

Let us be honest, not many people outside the media world knew who Eamon Lynch was until NBC Sports took over The Golf Channel, got rid of the good commentators, and went on an ‘woke friendly’ hiring spree.

Lynch only cares about advancing his own personal agenda and he will use anyone and will do anything to accomplish it.

He has been suffering from LIV Golf Derangement Syndrome since the inception of LIV Golf into the professional golf world and nothing seems to cure his ailment.

Eamon Lynch opinion writing goes beyond common sense or rationality. Lynch is a hateful person and I can only feel sorry for him.

This opinion piece is another example of the continued irrelevancy of Eamon Lynch.

Get a life Eamon!

Do Not Blame OPEC

Blame The Biden Administration

As Americans keep complaining about the surge at the gas pump after OPEC decided to cut oil production output, they are blaming the wrong culprit.

OPEC is not to blame, after all, OPEC is a business organization and as a business, is in it to make money. They are looking out for their members, unlike Joe Biden who is not looking out for the American people.

Democrat voters were elated when Joe Biden announced he was getting rid of oil production in the United States. They thought everything would remain the same and our energy consumption needs were going to be taken care of without it.

Although Biden did not shutdown oil production the amount of oil produced under his watch has been significantly lower.

In 2021, the United States was producing 11.9 million barrels of crude a day. In 2020 was closer to 11.28 million barrels.

In comparison, 2019 produced a record high of 12.3 million barrels a day. It is clear oil production has decline under the Biden administration.

The Energy Information Administration is claiming oil production is going to rise to 11.91 million barrels per day and it will reach a record high of 12.85 million barrels by 2023.

How did the EIA figure this out is beyond me. These figures do not make sense given the current state of oil production in the United States. We will have to see, but even Common Core mathematics cannot reconcile the figures.

As Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Green stated back on May 17, 2022, “Since Biden took office he cancelled the Keystone pipeline, released half of our strategic petroleum reserve, is canceling oil and gas leases, and it is waging a proxy war with Russia with sanctions that line Putin’s pockets and empty ours.” “Dems are blaming price gouging.”

You may or may not like the congresswoman, but she is 100% right in her assessment. After all, gas station owners make an average of 0.03 cents per gallon of gas sold. Gas stations make their money inside, selling merchandise.

Gas station operators are trying to earn our business and that is why you notice the difference in gasoline prices from town to town and station to station.

When the Biden administration claims gas station operators are price gauging, folks, that is a complete lie.

Gasoline is a commodity and gas station operators are only following the market value. Unfortunately, when the demand is higher than the supply, prices are going to go up as demand continues to grow.

Under the Trump administration the United States was an energy producer and exporter. Under the Biden administration, the United States has become a beggar.

Unlike former President Trump, Joe Biden has a poor relationship with OPEC countries and that is why his begging has been ignored.

In trying to mitigate this self-inflicted wound, the Biden administration has released over 180 million barrels of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserves with little impact at the pump.

In my opinion, this release is a serious national security issue. The SPR is for times of emergency as when we faced the oil embargos of the 70’s, and not a piggy bank to pull from for political expediency.

As the Biden administration continues to kiss up to the Green Energy lobby and fails to invest in our energy needs, Americans will continue to feel the pain at the pump.

As inflation continues to skyrocket and the dream of electric cars is unaffordable to most Americans, do not blame OPEC for taking care of their own, blame your government for not taking care of you.

Who Says Crime Does Not Pay

When Everything Else Fails Pardon The Criminals

In another attempt to buy the votes they do not have for the upcoming mid-term elections, Joe Biden has decided to pardon over 6,500 individuals convicted on federal marijuana charges.

I understand Joe Biden has a soft heart for criminals of all sorts, but actions translate to consequences. All these individuals convicted of marijuana possession knew they were braking the law and therefore they owed a debt to society.

Joe Biden’s reasoning behind his decision? “No one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Sending people to prison for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit,” he said. “There are thousands of people who have prior Federal convictions for marijuana possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result.”

If this is what he actually believes, someone needs to remind Biden, it is the job of the legislature to change the laws.

If he feels marijuana possession should be removed from the current Schedule 1 classification, he needs to lobby his party members, after all, they control the whole of government.

If the government wants to legalize marijuana, do it the right way, not by decree. Many states have already legalized the use of marijuana one way or the other, and others have ballot initiatives coming this November.

Pardoning people for willfully breaking the law is not a fix to a problem, but a message to the people that breaking the law is acceptable.

Personally? I do not care for drugs of any kind and I think drug usage is stupid. Having said that, I will defend the right for anybody to do stupid things as long as they are done legally.

At the end of the day, this is just another cheap move by the Biden administration to push their liberal agenda before the mid-term elections as he knows the Democrats have no chance of retaining the House and a slim chance of keeping the Senate.

Who is next? Pedophiles, murderers, and drug dealers?

With the Biden administration you never know what their next move is going to be. At this point nothing is out of bounds or surprising.

The Man Who Killed Professional Golf

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan

https://golf.com/news/jay-monahan-pga-tour-liv-come-together-co-exist/

Another week and PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan refuses to see the inevitability of LIV Golf.

As LIV Golf is in serious negotiations for a television deal and top players continue to take the big money, the only thing Jay Monahan can come up with is empty rhetoric.

Him and his little minions at NBC Golf and the Golf Channel are trying hard to convince you that LIV Golf is a shooting star and it will be gone before it starts.

Of course, anyone who has watched the format understands this is going to be part of professional golf and it is here to stay.

LIV CEO, Greg Norman has made a compelling case for LIV Golf and the reasons why it can coexist with the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.

Greg Norman’s interview with Piers Morgan was very revealing and a very honest take on the situation.

On the other hand, Jay Monahan has gone around whining and complaining about LIV Golf and refusing to even sit down to talk. Instead he sends his little dogs, McIlroy and Horschel to do his bid.

This week, McIlroy stated that it was time to sit down as professional golf was getting ripped apart by this rift.

Even a flip flopper like Rory McIlroy understands, and realizes, LIV Golf is here to stay and the importance for the best players in the world to participate in the Major Championships.

As the professional golf world turns, Jay Monahan insists on staying in the past.

Presidents Cup- Final Day

Epilogue

As expected, the American team won the Presidents Cup, again.

On the last day, a few matches were worth watching. The one I enjoyed the most was the S.W. Kim and Justin Thomas match. I was pleased to see S.W. Kim beat Thomas rather convincingly.

There is not much to write about this Presidents Cup, but for the things and people who made it an unattainable endeavor for the International team.

The absence of players like Cam Smith, Abe Ancer, and Joaquin Niemann, robbed the International team of the firepower necessary to give the Americans a real run for their money.

Perhaps the next International team captain will have the guts to stand up to Jay Monahan.

I kept wondering why Ryan Fox was not on the International team. The man has been on fire and deserved a spot on that team. I guess we will never know.

Jay Monahan got what he wanted, a weak International team, and a boatload of money.

Until the next shenanigan.
