Things are getting weird in Virginia.
Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) has made his campaign all about Trump, and -- secondarily -- about the Charlottesville riot of August 2017, where the "fine people hoax" was born. (Trump never called the neo-Nazis "very fine people," but the Democrats and the media pretended he had -- for several years.)
So... it reeked of desperation when five individuals (including a woman and a black guy) dressed as "white supremacists" from Charlottesville, with tiki torches and all, and crashed a rally for Glenn Youngkin (R). The McAuliffe campaign suspiciously treated the five as if they were real, and one campaign spokesperson called them "disqualifying."
Then the prank began to unravel, and it looked as though the five might be Democrat staffers. The Virginia Democrats denied any involvement, and -- lo and behold! -- the anti-Trump "Lincoln Project," who purport to be some kind of Republicans, claimed responsibility.
Call it the "fine people hoax," hoax.
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.
