I am confident that the Trump verdict will, in the end, propel him back into office. If it doesn't, I think Democrats will be left governing a dead country. Many of us will begin making survivalist plans, exit strategies and the like.
Again -- I feel that this probably works out as a win. And when Trump takes office again, I think he should do whatever he can -- martial law, whatever -- to investigate and punish the entire "lawfare" apparatus of the Democratic Party.
But in the meantime, I'm pretty upset about things. Upset that there are people in our country who actually think what happened to Trump was right. Or who are too timid to challenge their party, to admit the truth of what is going on.
Because whether Trump wins or loses, we are still stuck with those people. Or at least with the people and the forces who make those people see the world the way they do, or frighten them into silence. It's a tough thing to accept.
This week's show will be slightly different from the norm: we'll focus on clips and topics, rather than guests -- and that, hopefully, will mean more input from the callers (unless you are all watching football on opening weekend).
Topics:
- The state of the economy
- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel
- The attempt to sink Kennedy
- The war in Gaza
- The case against Harvard
- The Trump presidency

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 ...
