What a week, and what a weekend. Just seven days ago, President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, before jetting off to Angola. And this week, Syrian rebels advanced rapidly until toppling Bashar al-Assad this morning.
Meanwhile the incoming Trump administration continued to name appointees and to prepare the way for a new era in American politics. Pete Hegseth fought for his nomination at DOD, while Musk and Ramaswamy promoted DOGE.
Oh, and Bitcoin hit $100k, with good news for investors on other fronts, even if the November jobs report was relatively weak. There's a sense that things can't get worse, but that they are just about to get much, much better.
What's next?
We'll ask:
Matthew Boyle - Breitbart News political editor, on the Hegseth nomination
Emma-Jo Morris - Hunter Biden laptop journalist, on the sweeping pardon
Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on Hollywood revivals
Tevy Troy - author of "The Power and the Money," on Trump and business

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 ...
