I will share my thoughts about American politics, as well as current events in Israel and elsewhere, based on my experiences in the U.S., South Africa, and the Middle East. I will also discuss books and popular culture from the perspective of a somewhat libertarian, religiously observant conservative living in California. I will also share art and ideas that I find useful and helpful, and link to my content at Breitbart News, Amazon, and elsewhere.

Breitbart News Sunday: Show rundown (December 12, 2021)

Another gorgeous weekend in Southern California... and we'll have lots to talk about. We will give you the latest on the tornadoes in Kentucky, and the devastation there. Then we'll talk about a media whirlwind: the departure of Chris Wallace from Fox to something called CNN+, and how CNN's taking it.

Hillary Clinton weighed in with her thoughts about the 2024 election... as did a variety of Democrats, who are claiming that Trump and the Republicans are preparing an armed coup, or something. (Right now the 2022 generic ballot is a walk for Republicans, so not sure why, er, mere voting might not be enough.)

But we'll talk about that, and about the January 6 committee, and Republicans like Chris Christie (a former guest) supporting it, while Mark Meadows's recent lawsuit has exposed the committee as being both unconstitutional and in violation of its own resolution! Plus the debt ceiling, Miss Universe, and more.

Guests include:

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) - gubernatorial candidate for New York
Jerome Hudson - Breitbart Hollywood editor, on "West Side Story" crash

Tune in: SiriusXM Patriot 125, 7-10 p.m. ET, 4-7 p.m. PT
Call in: 866-957-2874

Weekly Torah reading: Mishpatim (Exodus 21:1 - 24:18)

This week's portion elucidates some of the first laws and principles of the Torah that follow the Ten Commandments, including -- a message particularly relevant to freed slaves -- the Jewish restrictions on indentured servitude.

God also provides the basic civil laws of Jewish society, governing almost every area of life -- in this one portion! -- as well as several basic principles of faith and religious observance. Moses then ascends Sinai for 40 days.

One of the laws God gives is the law against taunting a foreigner. This is different from allowing people to enter your land illegally; it is about showing respect, however, for people from other lands and other groups.

I am reminded of the importance of this principle because of the rhetoric lately attacking Elon Musk, a fellow South African-turned-American, for his foreign roots -- often by people who favor illegal immigration, ironically.

A brief update on progress

Since the Palisades Fire on January 7, my posts have been fairly sparse. I have just been so busy -- fighting the fire, covering the fire, helping neighbors, and launching a new podcast, "Three Homeless Guys," with two local friends.

Things are up and down. My family is still displaced, and we haven't resolved our living situation. We are awaiting answers from the insurance company (State Farm) on what they will cover, including alternative living expenses.

There are some incredible opportunities opening up -- more on that later -- and our kids are generally doing well, though this has been hard for them as well (especially the two middle kids, who miss their friends and their house).

The emotion of it all hit me yesterday. Today I feel wrung out. But I also feel that, in a way, going through the fire has been a process of refinement, of re-casting in a new mould, to face new challenges. And to win each new day.
