President Joe Biden renewed his attack today on Republicans as the new "Jim Crow," disregarding criticism that such rhetoric is incendiary, divisive, and false.
He is claiming that laws requiring voter ID and the like are doing to black voters what Democrats in the Jim Crow South once did. It's inflammatory, and wrong.
Today, Biden tweeted: "This 21st Century Jim Crow assault is real. It is unrelenting — and we will challenge it vigorously."
It's clear that Biden has abandoned the core promise of his campaign, and the central pledge of his Inaugural Address: to unify the country.
In his Inaugural Address, Biden pledged his very soul to the cause of unity. Ask yourself whether these words are consistent with accusing Republicans of "Jim Crow" -- for passing laws that are broadly popular even with black voters:
To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.
It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:
Unity.
Unity.
In another January in Washington, on New Year’s Day 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
When he put pen to paper, the President said, “If my name ever goes down into history it will be for this act and my whole soul is in it.”
My whole soul is in it.
Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this:
Bringing America together.
Uniting our people.
And uniting our nation.
I ask every American to join me in this cause.
Uniting to fight the common foes we face:
Anger, resentment, hatred.
Extremism, lawlessness, violence.
Disease, joblessness, hopelessness.
With unity we can do great things.

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 ...
