I will share my thoughts about American politics, as well as current events in Israel and elsewhere, based on my experiences in the U.S., South Africa, and the Middle East. I will also discuss books and popular culture from the perspective of a somewhat libertarian, religiously observant conservative living in California. I will also share art and ideas that I find useful and helpful, and link to my content at Breitbart News, Amazon, and elsewhere.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (May 15, 2022)

The country is in a state of shock after the mass shooting in Buffalo on Saturday -- except for the left and its media apologists, who are out to censor anyone who talks about "replacement theory."

There is a white supremacist conspiracy theory that claims that our country, controlled by Jews, is letting in people of different races to replace white Americans. That's crazy and deadly; it has motivated several mass shooters.

Then there's the reasonable, backed-by-evidence theory that Democrats are refusing to enforce immigration laws because they want to replace the current electorate with a new one that sees the party of open borders and asylum as its benefactor.

We'll talk about all of that. We'll also talk about the Court's impending reversal of Roe v. Wade, and we'll also discuss the ongoing chaos in the Middle East, which is being incited by Palestinian leaders -- a fact western journalists ignore.

We'll also look ahead to the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania, which is up for grabs at the moment, as Trump has endorsed Oz; Kathy Barnette impressed voters at the debate; and David McCormick is making a late push. There's a bit of shocking news, as Democratic frontrunner John Fetterman has suffered a stroke. (Speedy recovery!)

I want to talk about the attacks on Barnette a bit, some of which are legitimate, and some of which are really low.

Special guests:
Tom Homan - former acting ICE director, on Buffalo and the border issue
Danny Danon - former Israeli ambassador to the UN, on Israel's foreign policy
Adam Waldeck - founder of 1776 Action, on the PA Senate/governor's race
Elizabeth Johnston - pro-life activist, on the impending reversal of Roe

This is what is left of my special place in the forest

Burned, then covered in mudslides and rockslides. The river still flows through it. But we have lost so much. I have to believe the spirit still lives on.

Weekly Torah reading: Noah (Genesis 6:9 - 11:32)

The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.

Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?

One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).

Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).

Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.

Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.

Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (October 19, 2025)

An interesting weekend -- one of the last of Daylight Savings Time -- in which there is much to celebrate, much to contemplate, and a bit to worry about.

The Gaza peace deal is shaky, but holding, after the living hostages returned; the shutdown is still going on, with no end in sight; the China trade war is heating up; and the confrontation with Venezuela continues to escalate.

The "No Kings" protest was a dud, despite the media's attempt to inflate it. What I find fascinating is that the Democrats have basically stolen the rhetoric and the imagery of the Tea Party protests, circa 2009. They claim they are defending the Constitution -- just like the Tea Party did.

On the one hand, this is good. How wonderful to have a political system in which both sides, bitterly opposed though they are, articulate differences through the Constitution -- and not, as in so many other countries, outside it.

On the other, this is sheer hypocrisy for the Democrats. Not only did they malign the Tea Party as ...
