To: Reader Hey Reader, Quick note to share where this is headed. Click to Play! I just published a pre-recorded commentary that’s now live. After a little experimenting, I think I’m starting to find a rhythm that actually works — for me and for this community. Here’s what I’m planning to try, at least for now: Sundays → a pre-recorded commentary, published at a consistent time so we can all watch, comment, and engage together. Even though it’s recorded, I’ll often be in the comments reacting...

To: Reader Hi Reader, If you’ve been following me on YouTube, where I release commentary, or on Instagram, where I get a little more personal, you know I’ve been reeling—like much of the country—since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This isn’t going to be a breakdown of the ghouls who celebrated it. That reaction speaks for itself. What’s keeping me up at night is this: A man disagreed with Kirk’s views—and decided the answer was a bullet from 200 yards away. That’s where we are now in...

Dear Reader, As we approach the one-year mark since the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, I find myself reflecting on the horror, the trauma, and the twisted celebration of violence that has since unfolded. My family was in Israel that day, and the fear that gripped me is something I’ll never forget. It’s a fear that echoes the centuries of persecution my people have faced, even as we’ve sought refuge in Western democracies. This video is in podcast form too. A...

In my newsletter last night I reported that Donald Trump was shot at and his most recent assassination attempt. That was incorrect, my, my apologies. A big thank you to Pete for pointing that out. Apparently in the haste of the aftermath and me trying to get this letter and me trying to get this letter out, I missed that nuance. Donald Trump was not shot at this week, but there was an apparent assassination attempt on him. On September 15, 2024, an individual armed with a rifle was spotted...
