When the history of this era is told, the January 6 committee and the two impeachments of the president will sit amongst the most egregious abuses of civil liberties in our times. In all of these cases, the common denominator is the attack on due process rights, which has been a feature of left-wing politics since the trial of George Zimmerman (the guy who shot and killed Trayvon Martin) in 2013. The left, for all its talk about criminal justice reform, demands mob justice and kangaroo courts for its presumed ideological opponents.
But of all of these, the January 6 committee is worst. At least the impeachments could be said (eventually) to be authorized by the House. The January 6 committee is in violation of its own resolution. And behind the execrable public faces of the charade -- Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin among them -- are a platoon of lawyers whose participation in this Star Chamber is a further disgrace to an already dubious profession (of which I am a part).
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.
