The 2024 election has begun, with the presumptive nominees in both parties already fighting with each other.
President Joe Biden attacked former President Donald Trump over January 6th on Friday, throwing in some old attack lines as well. None of them worked, except the point about Trump just being out for himself.
You know what? He might be. But it doesn't matter, nor do Trump's offensive comments.
That's because nothing Trump did or said (or does or says) has anything to do with the fact that Biden has failed to secure the border, and is allowing millions of people to enter illegally.
That's it. That's the whole election, to me.
Allowing -- even encouraging -- mass migration means changing the electorate one day. It means changing national culture today. It means higher crime and squalor in many of our major cities.
Some immigrants will be hard-working and contribute to our society. But they failed the first test: they failed to arrive legally. We do not want people here who break the laws. It's a pretty good filter.
Moreover, we're seeing the results of mass immigration, both illegal and legal, on our college campuses. The anti-Israel radicalism and antisemitism is relatively new to the U.S., and much of it is imported.
As a Jewish citizen, I feel I have no control of who enters America anymore, even as we bring millions of people from the Arab and Muslim world who have been indoctrinated to hate Israel -- and me.
If there is one reason to consider emigrating to Israel, it is not that antisemitism has reached such terrible levels -- we are not there yet -- but that Israel controls its own boundaries (however imperfectly).
I believe in America. So I'm a one-issue voter. As Trump says, if you don't have a border, you don't have a country. Four more years of Biden will weaken this country and make it more unsafe for Jews.
I find the rest of the debate fairly uninteresting, especially because Biden isn't even trying to scale back the problem. He can't, because he relies on the extreme left. So there really is only one choice.
This week, we are tackling two major areas of contention between the Trump administration and Democrat governors: fighting crime, and redistricting. The president is sending the National Guard to blue cities -- and blue states are trying to stamp out Republican representation. Is this a civil war situation?
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye -- Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on redistricting
- Tom Manza, California Business and Industrial Alliance, on Gavin Newsom
- Jon Fleischman, veteran California political expert, on the special election
- Dan Backer, veteran political lawyer and consultant, on corruption
- DJ Mark Anthony, on a recent visit to Rome and visiting Pope Leo XIV

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
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.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
