Back in DC, and while summer is slowing down, we are picking up the pace!
We'll start by speaking to Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow about his new book, "Breaking the Law," documenting the Democrats' lawfare system.
Next, we'll talk about the recent Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal, and the forthcoming meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska -- what might its prospects be?
We'll talk about the gerrymandering fight; the NFL/ESPN deal; and the return to campus, plus the ongoing effort to demonize Israel for having the chutzpah to fight terrorists who continue to hold Israeli hostages and plan attacks.

This week's portion coincides with Tu B'Av, the 15th of Av, the Jewish version of "Valentine's Day." Traditionally, any unmarried men and women who wanted to find a partner would go outside the city and dance in separate circles until they had caught the eye of someone with whom they wanted to connect.
Fittingly, the Torah portion contains the central prayer of the Jewish faith -- the Shema, which is followed by the commandment to love the Lord (6: 4-5)
The additional reading, from Isaiah 40, begins: "Be comforted, be comforted, my people." It inaugurates seven weeks of such readings of comfort, leading up to the Jewish New Year. The message: this week is all about reconnecting.
I should have noted in my message about the weekly Torah portion that this week is Shabbat Chazon, the Sabbath of Vision. We are about to mourn -- but see through that pain to something better that lies beyond, on the other side.
Wishing you the best vision -- and an incredible reality to follow. It happens!
