Happy May Day, comrades! The revolution progresses forward, with a new Ministry of Truth to punish, er, correct opposing views, and the economy is now contracting, just as it does in all socialist systems during economic "recovery."
Meanwhile, the privileged elite -- those who can party in a crowded hall without masks, even as they mask-shame the rest of us and demand harsh new rules -- are still digesting last night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
Wasn't it fun to see Uncle Joe there? Ah, yes, a return to normal -- when the press corps actually accepted the results of democratic elections, and rubbed shoulders with the very people they are supposed to be holding accountable.
Luckily, there is room for hope, now that Twitter is in the hands of a different oligarch. Biden is still doing more to defend Ukraine's border than our own, but his administration is basically done, and awaits harsh judgment in November.
Today's special guests:
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) - to discuss the border, DHS, and Twitter
James Carafano - Heritage Foundation expert on what's next in Ukraine
Pastor Marc Little - on the football prayer case at the Supreme Court

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

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 ...
