The attempted assassination might have one positive effect: it might make Trump's governing task easier when he takes office in January, because the "Resistance" against him will be, or should be, a little less unhinged.
The attempted assassination shows where Democrats' rhetoric has led, and will encourage Republicans to discount much of what they say, even if it does not discourage all of the crazies from saying it (though it will discourage some).
I do think, or hope, that more responsible leaders within the Democratic Party will at least give Trump the traditional presidential honeymoon this time.
I know the media could go right to "lame duck presidency" etc. But not everyone will.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
