Biden's off the hook, say our media. So what if he and his son engaged in obvious influence-peddling and indulged glaring conflicts of interest. This one FBI source appears to have lied about them.
Not Christopher Steele-level lying, you understand. Oh no -- we don't prosecute people for sending the FBI on a wild goosechase when Trump is the target. No -- this "trusted" source went after Joe.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor going after Trump in Georgia thinks it's perfectly all right that she dated a colleague and hid that from the rest of her team, as well as the court, and it didn't break any rules.
Oh, and in New York, Trump has to fork over a significant part of his fortune because a judge with bad hair and an elected prosecutor with an axe to grind decided to punish him for being Trump.
If that doesn't just make you want to vote for him, just to spite all of these fools who are dragging the country down, I don't know what else will. This is the most absurd political situation in our lifetimes.

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!
