The crisis at our border has been joined by a crisis at our ports. The Biden Administration can't (or won't) stop people from coming in; but it can't (or won't) allow goods to come in. With inflation growing, and growth slowing down, are we heading for a "bomb cyclone" of a crisis? It sure looks like it.
We'll discuss Biden's politicization of the Justice Department, and the ongoing mess in foreign policy. We'll also discuss ways citizens are responding -- through the school choice movement, for example. And we'll discuss examples of successful governance, like the Trump administration's turnaround of the VA.
Special guests:
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) - ranking member of the kicking a** committee
Gen. Keith Kellogg (Ret.) - security adviser in the Trump administration
Mike Alexander - Californians for School Choice, on a new ballot initiative
Paul Lawrence - former head of Veterans Benefits Administration under Trump
Lawrence's paperback book is available for purchase and download at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DMQZN4N

- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
One noteworthy passage concerns Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Children of Israel as they made their Exodus from slavery to freedom. Deuteronomy 25:17-19 commands Jews to obliterate Amalek's memory.
The South African government accused Israel of genocide on the basis of a story about Amalek in the Book of Samuel, in which King Saul was commanded to wipe out the entire evil Amalekite nation.
Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted this week's portion -- "Remember what Amalek did to you" (25:17), the South African government claimed he was commanding soldiers to commit genocide.
It was an absurd and malevolent misreading of the Bible and of Jewish tradition. The commandment, as observed by Jews today, is to remember the evil of Amalek and fight ...
