My latest column for Breitbart is about the Chicago City Council's decision to rename Lake Shore Drive.
It will now be "Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive."
Nothing against honoring one of the founding fathers of Chicago, and one of the most important black figures in American history, but there are other ways to do it, and Chicago has much more urgent priorities.
Plus, Lake Shore Drive is iconic, and beloved, and it's ridiculous to rename it.
My time in South Africa taught me that when politicians run out of ideas, ,and excuses, they start renaming things -- as if some colonial-era landmark was the reason they couldn't do their jobs right, or that their policies continued to fail.
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.

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."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
