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 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!
