The Biden administration, the Democrats, and the media continue to treat Trump as if he were an "anomaly," in the words of PBS's Yamiche Alcindor. They will not acknowledge that there was public dissatisfaction with the status quo under Obama/Biden/Clinton and the center-left establishment; nor will they acknowledge Trump's successes, because to do so would mean to legitimize his presidency, and hence the public dissatisfaction, etc. In fact, the operating principle in the Biden Administration seems to be that if Trump did it, it was wrong. Hence Secretary of State Tony Blinken's refusal to confirm that the U.S. still recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, as Trump did (https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2021/06/07/watch-tony-blinken-declines-to-confirm-israeli-sovereignty-over-golan-heights/). This insistence on treating Trump's four years as an "anomaly" means that Biden will struggle to embrace successful policies that could help him be a more effective leader. But I do give some of the blame here to Trump -- let's say 5% -- because he could have used the post-election period defending his legacy (especially in the Georgia Senate runoffs) instead of contesting the past election, once the Electoral College had voted in mid-December. The events of January 6 are being exploited in an effort to erase the previous four years. They can't quite negate Trump's successes. But they are doing their best to ignore them. They are due for another reckoning -- and meanwhile, we suffer the consequences of their inability to see past their own prejudices, pride, and political interests.
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?
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye -- Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on redistricting
- Tom Manza, California Business and Industrial Alliance, on Gavin Newsom
- Jon Fleischman, veteran California political expert, on the special election
- Dan Backer, veteran political lawyer and consultant, on corruption
- DJ Mark Anthony, on a recent visit to Rome and visiting Pope Leo XIV

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 ...
