As we reach the 20th anniversary of 9/11, it's striking that not only are the Taliban back in control of Afghanistan -- after a catastrophic U.S. withdrawal -- but the radical left are in control of the Biden administration. The former have been restored to the power they had on the eve of 9/11; the latter have fought from the fringes to reach heights of power they only dreamed of achieving.
I remembered a book I bought just after 9/11, an anthology of ramblings by left-wing activists who saw the attacks as the result of U.S. imperialism, lamented that the event would distract from their critiques of American society, and hoped desperately to redirect the outrage against the attacks against the American system as a whole.
You'd have to say that they succeeded, right?
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
