Just One Thing: Seriously, this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen
BTW, with all those guys chanting "God is great" at the end, does that mean the Israeli Air Force is greater?
By the way, this woman is presumably someone's wife, maybe someone's mom. Can you imagine the daily hell of living with such a creature?
And don't forget this either

Jeffrey Konvitz is a multi-time best-selling author, going all the way back to the horror novel Sentinel in the 1970s. He's also a big-time Hollywood lawyer. His new novel, "The Circus of Satan", is historical fiction of the early 20th century at the time of the decline of the Irish mob(s) and the rise of Italian and Jewish mobsters. Quite a fun and interesting read with plenty of fascinating characters who really lived.

Other Stuff
I hate this flip-flop: With Trump, even when he gets it right he so often finds a way to get it wrong. It's all chaos all the time. Again, that's populism for you and it's part of the reason I despise populism.
Trump officials reverse guidance exempting farms, hotels from immigration raids
BTW, what often seems to happen is that one person on Trump's team such as a cabinet secretary will send out an order without checking with another part of Trump's team (like the execrable Stephen Miller). Then when the other part learns of it, the run to Trump and get it countermanded. Trump is insanely influenced by whoever talks to him last. Pretty weak stuff for a guy whose brand is strength.

Jimmy Sengenberger and I were talking (off-air) after yesterday's show. Jimmy has been following the Mike Lindell defamation case closely, spending quite a few days in court. What I said to Jimmy as I was leaving was "I predict, though I wouldn't bet a lot on it, that the jury convicts Lindell but awards MUCH less than the roughly $67 million that Eric Coomer is asking for." I guess I called that one right. I can't find a way to feel even a little bad for Lindell who has made one bad judgment after another.

I think and hope that Iran is not fooling Trump but I can't be highly confident since Trump has been rather easily fooled by Vladimir Putin.
Interesting, not only is Trump leaving the G7 summit in Canada a day early, but also this:Trump won't sign G7 statement on Israel-Iran de-escalation, says US official | The Times of Israel

Very interesting to see MTG get on the other side of Trump on this. She and Tucker are both wrong. (@TuckerCarlson used to get it, used to understand how committed and dangerous an enemy Iran is, but he has changed. Whether it's for ratings or out of some sort principle I don't know.)
I think the stupidity of that group lies in their apparent belief that should war be the only answer because diplomacy has failed and the results of doing nothing have a high chance of catastrophe, we nevertheless should not do what's required or even support another nation doing our dirty work for us. As if somehow "America First" means "do absolutely nothing even as our enemies conspire how to destroy us."
It's sheer know-nothing idiocy.
None of this is to be a "war-monger". Indeed, I say frequently on my show that one of the things I appreciate most about @realDonaldTrump is how he's by far the most anti-war president of my lifetime.
Further, I'm not arguing for US involvement other than supporting Israel. But at some point a hard decision will need to be made about Fordow, such as:
1) only degrade it as much as Israel can with its current weapons and airplanes
2) the US drop a MOP (30,000 lb bunker-buster) on it
3) the US find a way to give Israel the capability to do that
4) none of the above, if Iran surrenders (preferably with regime change) and agrees to ongoing control of its nuclear sites by the IAEA and no Iranian ability to enrich uranium (or other key processes in the manufacture of nuclear weapons.)
America First has always been a superficial slogan. Now we're seeing that it's an idiotic and dangerous one as well. It's too bad that there's a big enough market for it that people like MTG and Tucker find it in their own pecuniary or electoral interests to put America (and much of the rest of the world) at risk by enabling the world's leading supporter and funder of terrorism. Shameful, really.

Does this bother you? Yes, it bothers me. Though I don’t think it’s illegal, I do think it’s sleazy. But, as I mentioned yesterday (and I think I'm not alone), I'm rather numb to it at this point.

If the state legislature didn’t have the courage to just increase the credit why would a leftist place that keeps increasing the minimum wage go against the unionized restaurant workers to protect businesses and customers? I have a feeling this new power of the local governments won’t be used, or at least won’t be used enough.

I've never done this before, by which I mean making the video of the day the same as a video I posted earlier in the Blogcast, but since this is indeed one of the greatest things ever, it bears repeating.
