Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the attempted assassination in July, and we are into the home stretch of this campaign. Hard to believe, but this is it. And Harris and Walz are... doing more TV interviews, all of a sudden?
Yes... Walz even went on Fox News this morning. Harris is doing Howard Stern on Tuesday, which is not exactly hostile territory... and Walz is doing Kimmel. Oddly, they are not spending time in swing states, but New York and California.

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 ...
