Welcome to summer! I'll have a Little League update that you are not going to want to miss! And beyond that... the "very fine people" hoax is officially dead! Just in time for the first presidential debate! Is that a coincidence? Hmmm...
We'll look ahead to the debate -- and to what promises to be an exciting week at the Supreme Court, with many important decisions coming down in the last week of the term. Plus there's the Hunter Biden verdict -- and appeal...
We'll have two special guests who are active on Israel -- one is musician John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting), a genius who has led the way among artists in rallying support for Israel after October 7. And Anne Herzberg of NGO Monitor will tell us who's really behind the wave of Biden anti-Israel sanctions.
Plus another exciting edition of the Trumpian Virtues -- this time, focusing on "Tenacity," which has been in the news lately as a pull for black voters...

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.
