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.

The next two weeks will be the best in the history of politics -- for Trump supporters

We are never going to experience another two weeks like this ever again.

Going into Election Day with a reasonable expectation of winning -- and not just winning, but doing so with a transformative candidate, whose very survival against the odds, for all his flaws, expresses the core of our American selves...

It's going to be fun. Enjoy the news stories -- and don't take them all that seriously. Go to the rallies. Talk with people in the MAGA movement (and maybe even those who oppose it). Feel the anticipation, and the nervous energy (because nothing is guaranteed). Savor the crisp feeling of autumn, the early onset of evening, the colors, the changing quality of the light.

Love it.

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.

Breitbart News Sunday; show rundown (October 5, 2025)

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.

SiriusXM Patriot 125, 7-10 p.m. ET (4-7 PT)

Weekly Torah reading: Ha'azinu (Deuteronomy 32:1-52)

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."
