Today, we'll look ahead to a busy legislative week. The fight over the $3.5 trillion "reconciliation" bill continues, as Democrats try to slip in amnesty provisions in the midst of an unprecedented wave of migration at the southern U.S. border. We're still reeling from the revelation on Friday that the U.S. killed an innocent man -- and 9 other civilians -- in an airstrike Aug. 29: was it just to save face for the Biden administration's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal? Don't look to JCOS Chairman Gen. Mark Milley for answers; he's defending his calls to his Chinese counterpart in the closing days of the Trump administration. And Biden is at the beach -- after rationing Regeneron, a lifesaving monoclonal antibody treatment for coronavirus, from seven southern states in what seems to be an act of brazen political retaliation for rejecting mask/vaccine mandates. France has recalled its ambassador -- for the first time ever -- in a blow to Biden's claims to have restored relations with U.S. allies. Is there anything left of the Biden presidency? The fiscal battles ahead in Congress may well decide.
Special guests:
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) - on Afghanistan, and on beating leukemia
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) - on the reconciliation battle in the House
Breitbart News' Brandon Darby - on the crisis at the southern U.S. border

The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.
Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?
One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).
Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).
Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.
Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.
Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!
An interesting weekend -- one of the last of Daylight Savings Time -- in which there is much to celebrate, much to contemplate, and a bit to worry about.
The Gaza peace deal is shaky, but holding, after the living hostages returned; the shutdown is still going on, with no end in sight; the China trade war is heating up; and the confrontation with Venezuela continues to escalate.
The "No Kings" protest was a dud, despite the media's attempt to inflate it. What I find fascinating is that the Democrats have basically stolen the rhetoric and the imagery of the Tea Party protests, circa 2009. They claim they are defending the Constitution -- just like the Tea Party did.
On the one hand, this is good. How wonderful to have a political system in which both sides, bitterly opposed though they are, articulate differences through the Constitution -- and not, as in so many other countries, outside it.
On the other, this is sheer hypocrisy for the Democrats. Not only did they malign the Tea Party as ...
