MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Joseph “Jo-Jo” King III
On Feb. 23, 2020, 6-year-old Joseph “Jo-Jo” King III was found unresponsive at home with his stepfather. The initial explanation was simple: he had accidentally suffocated inside a toy chest.

There Is Only One Explanation
On Monday I learned that Politico, which I do not read unless someone else tells me there is something I ought to look at, is deeply antisemitic. The current rise of antisemitism in our culture is deeply troubling. It is a portent of problems far deeper than any government policy or stance. We sacrificed so much to overcome the ugly antisemitism that was the Nazis. We worked so hard to overcome the racism that defined this nation for so long. How could we slip back into it?

Racing Towards Oblivion
The news yesterday, “Los Angeles County saw the largest decline of any county in the United States in 2025, according to new census data published on March 26.” Meanwhile, “A major Wall Street powerhouse is weighing a southern escape as New York City’s new mayor talks about soaking big business with taxes, according to a report published Sunday.” And so the race is on – two major metropolises, both deep blue, vying to see which one can vacate and die the most rapidly. Predictable as it is, it is still sad. And the sadness is only intensified by the knowledge that such decline is preventable.

Learning The Hard Way
I became a regular, as opposed to occasional, listener of The Hugh Hewitt Show on 9-11. The host speaks with embarrassment of the job he did that day, but I searched all of media as events unfolded and he was the only one that 1) was willing to say what he did not know and 2) reacted with humanity first. And so I was sold. Lots has happened since then that we don’t need to go into, but I tell that story to emphasize just how many times I have listened to a Hugh Hewitt interview – it’s a lot. Never has an interview he has conducted captured me as much as his of Eli Lake this Friday past.

God and Expectations
Palm Sunday – the beginning of Holy Week. We usually look at Holy Week with the end of it in mind and it all shines with the hope of salvation and resurrection. But suppose you were one of the people that laid palm fronds in Jesus’s path as He entered Jerusalem, hailing Him as King. You expected Him to finally do away with Roman oppression and establish Himself as King of Israel. From your perspective Holy Week is all about dashed expectations and unmet promises. Viewed from the perspective of the triumphal entry, Holy Week is not the greatest victory in history, but an utter disappointment.
