Southern states are now reporting that they are out of monoclonal antibodies, potentially lifesaving treatments for coronavirus, which the Biden administration decided to ration in September as a means to punish those states for refusing to impose vaccine and mask mandates. The left's best argument was that those states theoretically creating the problem of more infections should not get therapeutics ahead of states that did more to contain infections. The problem is that those states -- notably Florida -- actually had fewer infections than "blue" states that imposed mandates. Nobody can really claim they understand causation in the mess that is the coronavirus pandemic.
What is really happening is that the left is punishing conservatives for choosing a different policy in the approach to the pandemic. Biden is allowing Americans to suffer, and perhaps to die, out of spite. Health care is no longer a "right," but a political weapon, as it is in China and other totalitarian regimes. This is, bar none, the worst health care policy of any administration in American history.
This week's show will be slightly different from the norm: we'll focus on clips and topics, rather than guests -- and that, hopefully, will mean more input from the callers (unless you are all watching football on opening weekend).
Topics:
- The state of the economy
- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel
- The attempt to sink Kennedy
- The war in Gaza
- The case against Harvard
- The Trump presidency

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 ...
