It's the week of July 4th -- so we'll be looking ahead to that. But of course we also have last Thursday's debate to talk about, and what it means. As we hit the airwaves, the Biden family will supposedly be meeting to discuss the campaign.
And my former colleague, Steve Bannon, will be preparing to go to prison tomorrow, for a ridiculous conviction set up by the ridiculous January 6 Committee, prosecuted by the partisan DOJ in the biased D.C. courts.
If I were that side, I wouldn't be doing a thing like that right now... not after Thursday night... when it seems likelier than ever that Trump will win, and Bannon will be back on top... the consequences may be somewhat... grim.
I want the Democrats to field the strongest candidate possible: our country deserves it. But they can't really find a way, because even their replacement will stink. So, given how they have behaved, I want them to feel that pinch.
Anyway. There's more to discuss, including our nation's birthday, and the upcoming semiquincentennial, i.e. the 250th, which the next president will preside over ... you wouldn't want that to be Joe Biden or a Democrat, right?
Plus there is another day of Supreme Court decisions, and the ongoing fight against antisemitism. Oh -- and don't miss the latest installment in the "Trumpian Virtues": "Philosemitism," the love of the Jewish people.
Special guests:
Daniel Greenfield - "Sultan Knish," on the attack on the L.A. synagogue
Carrie Severino - Judicial Crisis Network, on the Supreme Court decisions
Gianno Caldwell, Caldwell Institute for Public Safety, on urban crime

This is the final edition of THE AGENDA -- finished a few days early!
This week's portion elucidates some of the first laws and principles of the Torah that follow the Ten Commandments, including -- a message particularly relevant to freed slaves -- the Jewish restrictions on indentured servitude.
God also provides the basic civil laws of Jewish society, governing almost every area of life -- in this one portion! -- as well as several basic principles of faith and religious observance. Moses then ascends Sinai for 40 days.
One of the laws God gives is the law against taunting a foreigner. This is different from allowing people to enter your land illegally; it is about showing respect, however, for people from other lands and other groups.
I am reminded of the importance of this principle because of the rhetoric lately attacking Elon Musk, a fellow South African-turned-American, for his foreign roots -- often by people who favor illegal immigration, ironically.

Since the Palisades Fire on January 7, my posts have been fairly sparse. I have just been so busy -- fighting the fire, covering the fire, helping neighbors, and launching a new podcast, "Three Homeless Guys," with two local friends.
Things are up and down. My family is still displaced, and we haven't resolved our living situation. We are awaiting answers from the insurance company (State Farm) on what they will cover, including alternative living expenses.
There are some incredible opportunities opening up -- more on that later -- and our kids are generally doing well, though this has been hard for them as well (especially the two middle kids, who miss their friends and their house).
The emotion of it all hit me yesterday. Today I feel wrung out. But I also feel that, in a way, going through the fire has been a process of refinement, of re-casting in a new mould, to face new challenges. And to win each new day.
So much to talk about, once again, as the Trump administration continues at breakneck pace. From DOGE chewing through the federal bureaucracy, to Marco Rubio heading out on his first missions for Trump, there's so much...

Matt Boyle -- Breitbart News political editor, on DOGE and confirmations
Jamie Paige -- founder of the Westside Current, on L.A. politics and the fires
Frances Martel -- Breitbart News foreign editor, on Rubio and Russia/Ukraine
Rob Hersov -- South African commentator, on SA's fight with the White House
