The video of the killing of Tyre Nichols in a confrontation with police is set to be released, and the nation is bracing for another wave of protests and riots. One problem with the "Black Lives Matter" narrative: all 5 officers charged are black.
Still, it's clear that aside from the justifiable outrage at this incident, there is an effort to politicize it again. I wonder who President Joe Biden will blame this time, after claiming in 2020 that the racial unrest was President Trump's fault?
Hopefully there won't actually be riots, and the protests will be peaceful. I must say that I question the wisdom of releasing a video like this on a Friday night, before a weekend when people have time to riot. (Rain is expected, though).
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.
