We are looking at a potential fourth indictment of former President Donald Trump this week, even as we are still taking in the news of an appointment of a Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden case ... who happens to be the same U.S. Attorney, David Weiss, who botched it.
Then thee is news of a potential hostage deal with Iran, which the White House insists won't incentivize future hostage-taking, even though Iran is earning at least $6 billion from it ... and Biden is hyping a deal, which may or may not be real, with Israel and the Saudis.
And we're coming up on the 2nd anniversary of the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, in which 13 American servicemembers were killed in a terror attack. It was the moment the public lost faith in the Biden presidency... and somehow, the media shows no interest.
There's so much to explore... join us!

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 ...
