Today we look ahead to Easter, Passover, and April 15th, the traditional Tax Day (don't worry, you have until Monday, April 18th, to file) with a view to some crazy things the Democrats are doing at the moment: promising gas rebates in California while still retaining high gas taxes; calling for more COVID spending when they haven't burned through everything that was already allocated and there is this little inflation problem that you might have heard about.
We'll also talk about former President Donald Trump's bizarre endorsement of Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. Oz is a charismatic and interesting guy, but hardly a conservative. The Senate is important partly because of its role in judicial confirmations -- and we'll talk about what Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson means for big cases.
Finally, we'll talk about Ukraine -- not just crazy stuff being said by Democrats, establishment Republicans, and the media -- including connecting it to January 6 -- but also what is NOT being reported in the realm of foreign affairs because of the hyper-focus on Ukraine.
Special guests:
May (Davis) Mailman - Independent Women's Forum, on Justice KBJ
Jessica Millan Patterson - CA GOP chair, on Newsom's gas rebate plan
Matthew Boyle - Breitbart News, on Trump endorsing Oz in Pennsylvania
Frances Martel - Breitbart News, on Ukraine and everything but Ukraine

- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
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 ...
