 Four revived whine vintages from the Democrats' WhineriesThe Electoral College, Stacking the Court, Impeaching Kavanugh, and 'Negroes Who Don't Read.' Now that Kavanaugh is confirmed, what next?Liars become exposed over time. Few learn history.

Democrats and Kavanaugh, Spartacus and CrucifixionThe connection between Spartacus and Crucifixion, Democrats and Kavanaugh, and Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Nu — So Israel Is not the Jewish State?If Israel is not specifically a Jewish country, then leave the Jews outside Israel alone. Close down the Jewish Agency, and keep Sharansky and Herzog at home.

Leaving the UNHRC so that they can now torture and butcher one anotherUN Human Wrongs Council would be a more appropriate name for this group, so riddled with human rights abusers. Firing insubordinate subordinate Comey is not obstruction of justiceComey, like Trump's other critics, thinks he is an idiot. It is amazing watching their constant attacks on him. They never got elected President. They never even got elected as dog catcher. How many denuclearizations have CNN anchors negotiated? The month in which Tefillin held the spotlightDo universities hire math professors who can't add? The professor of multi-culturalism who could not stand to see tefillin seems to be comparable.

Surviving a foolish Dvar TorahCheering Vashti and pitying Esther? A foolish misreading of the Megillah story by a woman rabbi in an Open Orthodox congregation tries to make it into a feminist narrative. Needed: Full disclosure before conversionRabbis who perform conversions owe their clients full disclosure. Has anyone ever sold you something — a service, a product, a promise — only for you to learn later that you paid for something that was not what you thought? What a fabulous time to shake up Israel’s government!Bibi should get a T-shirt that says: “Ehud Barak did favors for Marc Rich / Obama got a $300,000 discount on a house / His wife got a $300,000 “Job” / And all I got were some crummy cigars and champagne.” What does McDonald's put in its cheeseburgers?I have been trying for years to figure out what explains George Soros, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer and all the other Jews who are willing to sell out the Jewish people. The Orthodox Union isolates the final fourThe four extreme-left organizations in the OU fold are the end of a trend that once did not have to be discussed, because it was not imaginable. It's OK to deportUnder the oh-so-liberal Obama and the Democrats, more than 3,000,000 infiltrators were deported. Yes, more than three million! The "shul" I won't attendWhy not? Because I may not.

Trump is healthy. 40 years of Democrats defaming the IQ of Republican presidentsFord, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W.

The pain of the contemporary Orthodox JewThe groundbreaking Pew survey of American Jews found four years ago that, in a few short decades, Orthodox Jews will comprise the majority of Jews in New York. But media reports typically ignore them, painting almost all Jews as liberal. Pres. Trump, in his classically inartful way, was absolutely rightWhen the President of the United States rightly excoriated law-breakers and thugs on all sides of a street conflagration, he came in for a torrent of media abuse, forcing even level-headed bystanders to take cover. Expanding Qalqilya is a lame-brained idea that can cost livesIf politicans within the Government of Israel think they will win world acclaim and applause in Israel or abroad by doubling or tripling the terrorist stronghold of Qalqiliya, they are amazingly naïve. Don't just freeze the plan, kill it. The Reform Movement came late to the partyThey will learn to live with it, just as we Modern Orthodox/ srugim (of the knitted kippot) live with and still passionately love Israel even after Gush Katif and even though many of us wish the Chief Rabbinate sometimes were more oriented towards us On nukes, liars, obstructocrats and phonies: Making SCOTUS great againJudge Gorsuch' sin: He believes the Constitution says and means what its authors, our Founding Fathers, meant for it to say and mean — and not what some liberal judge 240 years later would prefer it say and mean.

Trump and his team know exactly what they are doingTrump and his people know exactly what they are doing, and they are doing it the only way it can be done in the post-Obama environment. Pravda, USA won't let you know that. Open letter to US Treasury Sec.Jack Lew, Haim Saban and PM NetanyahuThree men who will be judged by Jewish history. The question is, will each miss his moment of history or seize it? The UN vote teaches much but changes nothing and affects even lessPoints to ponder on J Street, American Jews, Charles Schumer, concessions, the two-state solution, Trump, Obama and the Tower of Babel known as the UN. Why this Orthodox Rabbi supports TrumpI am going to vote for the candidate that protects the Constitution and makes America what it can be - and was. Further thoughts on the conversion messThe Torah community simply is trying to implement safeguards to bring order out of chaos.

After AIPAC: Voting in NovemberWhomever the Republicans put up in July gets my vote in November. To vote for Hillary would be incomprehensible. The state of American Jews: The best of times, the worst of timesit would seem that American Jews, whose doctors once could not gain admittance privileges at prestigious hospitals, who could not gain admittance into alumni and fraternal societies or country clubs, never have had it better. So it would seem. A view from America: The US presidential election - so farDon't believe the US media - they portrayed Begin as Hitler.A cogent analysis of the US presidential candidates positions and chances.

Matot-Masei: How did the Desert Generation Cope?How did they cope for a lifetime, knowing that they were doomed to wander without a destination? When Words MatterThanks to the Zivotovsky decision, we are guaranteed at least five more years of intractable stalemate, probably more. Conservatives, Polling, and Political CorrectnessThe polls and surveys were totally wrong in the Senate, Israeli and UK elections. The reason may be the intimidating politically correct climate. Tazria-Metzora: Biblical Leprosy and UsThis Torah portion packs a message for changing one's life. The Two State Solution: It is Never Going to HappenA “Two-State Solution” is a “Final Solution.” Look at the pictures. We Jews do not do so well with other people’s Final Solutions for us. The Beauty of It All: Obama Does Not MatterSince Obama's Reign of Error began, the Jewish population in Yesha has risen significantly. And it continues to rise. On Obama: There are Only Five Hours Left to the FastWe have him all figured out now and not that long to go. Conservative "Marranos" and the Absurd Charge of RacismAmericans, including journalists who have no conceptual understanding of how to differentiate between light and darkness, hear the Prime Minister of Israel make a campaign appeal, and the next day they call him racist. Netanyahu’s Speech Strengthened Israel-US RelationsThe "pundits" have it all wrong, as usual. Netanyahu Must Absolutely Make that SpeechNot to worry about whether Obama will hate Bibi even more and be even more mixed on Israel. There is no “more” that he can hate Bibi, and Obama cannot be worse to Israel than he is because, for reasons beyond his control, he is as bad as he can be. |
