I will share my thoughts about American politics, as well as current events in Israel and elsewhere, based on my experiences in the U.S., South Africa, and the Middle East. I will also discuss books and popular culture from the perspective of a somewhat libertarian, religiously observant conservative living in California. I will also share art and ideas that I find useful and helpful, and link to my content at Breitbart News, Amazon, and elsewhere.

A banana republic kind of day

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 is what is left of my special place in the forest

Burned, then covered in mudslides and rockslides. The river still flows through it. But we have lost so much. I have to believe the spirit still lives on.

Weekly Torah reading: Ki Teitzei (Deuteronomy 21:10 - 25:19)

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.

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 ...
