I've been working up a post on just how bad the Biden administration legacy will be on non-Israel fronts, but Biden decides to double down. This is old news by now, but seriously

When I grew up, old people were the voice of sanity and wisdom. Young people were all spit and vinegar, but it was the old folks that had learned

Ask yourself: Might there be something irresistibly seductive for the Biden team and Biden himself in the idea that his electoral woes have a foreign root?

Senator Tom Cotton joined me this morning: Audio: Transcript: HH: Joined by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas. Good morning, Senator. Welcome.

Much has been made in recent weeks that the presidential betrayal of Israel is in search of a few votes around Detroit. Not sure the cost/benefit ratio works out on that one, but it is far from the only place where liberal policy math just does not work. Consider the EV.

Former President Trump joined me this morning: Audio: Transcript: HH: We are now joined by former President Donald Trump.

As the host basks in the glory of yesterday's DJT interview there are other things happening.

I spent a gorgeous day in Smoky Mountain National Park yesterday, just a short drive from my East Tennessee home. Such glorious days need to be balanced with a dose of reality and so my thoughts return to the California I left a couple of years ago – the California I thought for many years I would never leave. As unbelievably beautiful as the Smokies are, California really does have greater natural beauty. The eastern Sierra, Yosemite, the beaches (where they are not overrun) are just amazing. Such beauty and the weather are what keep people in California despite the exodus that has been apparent for the last five years or so. I always have a stack of stuff around my desk of California news and as I reviewed it this morning and with the perspective of yesterday's Smoky Mountain glory, I found another reason why I left California behind. California does not glory in its beauty; it amplifies its ugly.

Lt Gen Jonathon Riley, former commander of British Forces in Sierra Leone and Iraq and Deputy Commander of all Nato forces in Afghanistan. has penned a piece that at first glance I wrote off as conspiratorial nonsense but found it intriguing enough to read through and found it is anything but . Rather the good general is cataloging efforts to control the weather by people that think it is the only viable response to “climate change.” Yep, there are people out there that think that we can control the weather – not that we can inadvertently alter the climate, a long-term and global thing – but the weather, making it rain, make it cold, that sort of thing. It is as if no one remembers the lessons of kudsu or the Burmese pythons in Florida

Traditional Christian expressions are in severe decline and have been for some time now . The question is “Why?”
