I haven't quite known what to make of today's stunning revelations in Uvalde. The one thing that remains the same is that Border Patrol stopped the killer. But there was no school resource officer and the killer used an unlocked door.
There is a lot of speculation about police refusing to go in, or being too afraid, or adhering to some kind of protocol. Maybe not. Maybe they were stalling to evacuate as many children from other classrooms as possible. We don't know.
My default assumptions -- my bias -- is that police, especially armed police, will do the right thing in these situations; and that Texas police will show heroism. I don't know that we've seen convincing evidence otherwise. We still don't know.
But no one can fail to be moved by the fear and concern that parents were expressing as they urged the police to go in and were instead told to leave the area. Was there, in fact, a failure of leadership? We still don't know. We will.
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.
