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.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (June 30, 2024)

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 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.

Just want to say I loved your column in the NY Post on Charlie Kirk.

Breitbart News Sunday: show clock (September 7, 2023)

  • The fight against crime
  • The midterm election fight

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 ...
