1. Trump was right all along: Hunter Biden's job was to protect Burisma from a prosecutor, and Joe Biden had him fired using the threat of U.S. loan guarantees. Trump was impeached for being right.
2. Biden lied all along: He lied about not talking to his family about their businesses; he lied about his family not making money from China; he lied about not having anything to do with Burisma.
3. Dan Goldman is a clown: He played the role of fearsome prosecutor when empowered by Adam Schiff during the impeachment inquiry. But today he tried to defend the indefensible.
4. The media are pathetic: Now they are trying to pretend everyone knew all along that Biden had talked to his son's business partners, when in fact no one outside conservative media reported it or cared.
5. The DOJ is part of the coverup: They are going after Trump while trying to cut sweetheart deals for Hunter Biden that would bury the evidence of Joe Biden's wrongs -- and they are doing it in plain sight.
That's just the beginning. But essentially Biden is a corrupt family boss, and the media have covered for him, and Democrats have bought into hoax after hoax after hoax. It might eventually bite them.
This is my first broadcast from the new office and studio in Washington, DC, where I'll be for a couple of years my neighborhood back in L.A. cleans up -- and as we follow the Trump administration from a little closer up than usual.

This week’s portion tells the grand story of the prophet who tried to curse people of Israel and instead ended up blessing them.
I am reminded that these portions continue to be relevant anew, as this particular reading lent the title for Israel’s recent 12 Day War against Iran, “Operation Rising Lion.”
This week's portion includes the commandment of the red heifer -- one of the classic "irrational" commandments whose fulfillment is an expression of faith. It also includes the regrettable episode in which Moses strikes the rock.
I referred to this story in a wedding speech last night. Why was Moses punished for striking the rock in Numbers, when he struck the rock without incident in Exodus -- both for the purpose of providing water to the people?
The answer is that in the interim, the Jewish people had received the Torah, which is like the marriage contract between the people of Israel and God. In a marriage, you do not resolve things by breaking boundaries, but through love.
The additional reading, from Judges Chapter 11, is the story of Jephthah (Yiftach), a man whom the leaders spurn, but to whom they must turn to save the nation. The parallels to our present political circumstances are striking.
Shabbat Shalom and Happy Fourth of July!
