Daniel S. Goldman, the former henchman for Adam Schiff during the awful impeachment investigation and trial, won the crowded primary in NY-10 yesterday. A Democrat, he will have no trouble winning in the fall.
Goldman has no personality or appeal. He is humorless. He won because he is the heir to the Levi Strauss fortune. He is worth a possibly $250 million and spent $4 million of his own money. In other words, he bought the seat.
His record is terrible. He's part of a cohort of left-wing prosecutors who have become ubiquitous on CNN and MSNBC, and who have cheered the weaponization of law enforcement and the bureaucracy against conservatives.
Throughout the Trump presidency, Goldman hyped the Russia collusion hoax, even taunting Trump over the supposed "pee tape," and hyping the fraudulent "dossier." He also helped Schiff spy on colleagues, and condescended to them.
His reward: not accountability, but a promotion. In fact, almost no one on the Democratic or Never Trump side has been held accountable for their rejection of democracy and abuse of American civil liberties and the Constitution.
The one consolation: the higher the monkey climbs, the more he shows his tail. Goldman is overdue for a comeuppance, and his return to the national stage -- in a lifetime position, given his party -- will provide plenty of opportunities.
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 ...
