It's a busy weekend -- I know there's football to watch, but the political world is also ablaze.
Three U.S. soldiers were killed today -- along with 12 wounded -- by and Iran-backed militia in the latest example of Biden's foreign policy failures.
The Republican Party presidential primary is all but won -- or is it? Nikki Haley is still in the race.
Meanwhile, Biden and the Democrats are trying to force through a so-called "border security" bill that is meant to help them get thru the election but won't stop migrants from getting thru the border.
In the latest case of "Trump was right," Biden has been forced to cut funding to UNRWA, the special Palestinian refugee agency. Trump cut the funding in 2019 -- but Biden restored it in 2021. And then UNRWA employees went on to join Palestinian terrorists in the Oct. 7 attack.
Plus -- some good news from Canada: a court has ruled the Trudeau exceeded his powers in the crackdown on the truckers' protests.
We'll talk about all of this -- and more -- in a live edition tonight.

This week’s portion launches the great story of Abraham, who is told to leave everything of his life behind — except his immediate family — and to leave for “the Land that I shall show you.”
There’s something interesting in the fact that Abraham is told to leave his father’s house, as if breaking away from his father’s life — but his father, in fact, began the journey, moving from Ur to Haran (in last week’s portion). His father set a positive example — why should Abraham leave him?
Some obvious answers suggest themselves — adulthood, needing to make one’s own choices, his father not going far enough, etc.
But I think there is another answer. Abraham (known for the moment as Abram) needs to establish his own household. This is not just about making one’s own choice, but really about choosing one’s own starting point. It’s starting over.
Sometimes we start over in fundamental ways even if much that surrounds us remains the same. Sometimes the journey we have to ...
The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.
Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?
One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).
Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).
Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.
Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.
Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!
