The White House was at pains to defend President Joe Biden's decision not to visit East Palestine, Ohio, three weeks after the derailment disaster. President Donald Trump visited on Wednesday, shaming Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg into visiting and shaming President Biden himself into ... issuing a tweet.
Biden has put himself into a bind, because he will be attacked for staying away, but will also look like a copycat if he ultimately goes.
But why isn't every other Republican candidate there? I get that there are voters to reach in New Hampshire, and Sunday shows to do on TV, but why not visit the abandoned people of eastern Ohio?
This is why Trump is the frontrunner for the nomination in 2024. Only he seems to have to instinct to do what is right -- even if he often says what is wrong. His ambitious rivals had better learn -- and soon.
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.
