The major television networks should set aside time for a Republican rebuttal to the Democratic National Convention later this month due to the unusual circumstance of Democrats' decision to swap Joe Biden out for Kamala Harris.
And if they don't, Trump should buy the airtime.
Typically, the political parties use their conventions to make their case for their own nominees -- and to make the case against their opponents. Much of the Republicans' energy in the first few nights in Milwaukee was focused on Biden's record in office. They largely ignored Harris -- understandably so. Perhaps the attacks on Biden were too effective: he dropped out after the Republican convention. Essentially, Trump won, but must now face an entirely new election.
Later this month, in Chicago, Democrats' will have their own convention. Their target remains the same: Donald Trump, the man they have demonized, and prosecuted, for nearly a decade. But they will also have the opportunity to present Harris to the country in the most positive light -- and Republicans will not have a chance to present the other side of the argument. This gives an unfair advantage to Democrats heading into the fall and the start of early voting.
The networks should allow Republicans at least one night to rebut Democrats' claims about Harris. The truth about Harris is that she has never accomplished anything except being elected or appointed to office, and that she has embraced the most radical policies, and the most destructive elements, in American politics. Americans need to know that, or at least have the opportunity to understand the case against her, before they make their voting decisions.
Three hours of airtime would be fair; one hour would probably be sufficient. And if the networks don't offer that time, the Trump campaign, or a Trump-backing super PAC, should buy it. Otherwise the public will never know the truth.
This week, we are tackling two major areas of contention between the Trump administration and Democrat governors: fighting crime, and redistricting. The president is sending the National Guard to blue cities -- and blue states are trying to stamp out Republican representation. Is this a civil war situation?

- Tom Manza, California Business and Industrial Alliance, on Gavin Newsom

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
