Fox News has come in for a lot of criticism lately, but right now it is the only network I can find, as I write this, that is airing a memorial in Escondido, California, to the 13 men and women who were killed in a terror attack during the chaotic evacuation of Kabul, Afghanistan 2 years ago -- one of the greatest military disasters in U.S. history.
The stories of the bereaved parents are heartbreaking. And they are furious at the Biden Administration.

The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
