Here's my take -- from AM 870 The Answer here in L.A.
The speech was historic, and a rare moment of congressional unity (though one wag noted that Nancy Pelosi, who eagerly tried to impress Zelensky by chanting "Slava Ukraine," would never deign to utter the words "America First.).
I think Zelensky was effective in encouraging sympathy for his people, but there won't be a no-fly zone. Perhaps there will be a humanitarian airlift.
The best news today is that Russia may be adopting a more conciliatory posture toward Ukraine on territorial issues. If the war ends without Putin overrunning Kiev, and in some kind of peace conference, Russia will still claim victory but Ukraine will have won -- and, as Scott Adams said, it will rebuild more quickly.

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.
