“Move the state forward” if the state is on the edge of a precipice to begin with, “moving forward” means committing suicide by jumping off the cliff. No thanks, Elissa. We don’t want to join you.

So am I!

France is collapsing but Israel is dancing. Be like Israel.

This is an amazing video. So life affirming. I’m in tears watching this. This is who ISRAEL is! Who the Jew are. We affirm life and when we do, Hashem is there to hold us up!

I said what I said

Watching Mansur Ashkar doing a recap of what we now know about the attempted terrorist hijacking of the Fly Dubai plane. Mansur was special forces in the IDF. He was on hostage rescue teams. He knows what he is talking about. He brings up something that I have not heard anyone else say yet: After 9/11 planes were fitted with impregnable locked doors to prevent would be hijackers in the passenger cabin from entering. But this time, the terrorist was IN THE COCKPIT as the co-pilot. Wrap your brains around this. It is horrifying. youtube.com/live/EodQY7C0QLs…

Thanks to Owen for outing himself as a professional Jew Hater.

This video is spot on. I’m a big fan of Chase Hughes. He’s incredibly perceptive. How we are being manipulated by advertising (as we have always been) and how it has become a completely pervasive psyop in the world of social media. youtu.be/w6anOqrSCQc?is=R1uP…

JD Vance also seems to be easily ideologically captured. THAT is the problem with him.

Fiery but mostly peaceful. This is demented. And of course, this lady reporter had to wrap herself in a black schmatta, otherwise she’s be sexually assaulted or worse. That is reality.

I would bet money that this will happen.

It is important to point out, as well, that what is “given” to Israel is not simple “aid”. It is a defense jobs program for the US, in fact. Money is allocated to Israel to purchase armaments from US manufacturers. So this creates jobs for those in the US that manufacture those armaments. But the benefit to the US goes further. The Israelis, because of the real threats against them, battle test those US made arms and help the manufacturers improve and upgrade their designs and technology. But there is more! Part of the relationship between the US and Israel is that Israel provides the US with on the ground/in the air intelligence that the US could not get any other way. So the next time someone bellyaches about all the money going to Israel from US taxpayers, remind them how minuscule it is compared to what goes to other countries as well as its share of US spending in general. Then share what I wrote to ‘splain to these deluded haters what the reality really is of the US-Israel relationship.

X needs todo something. @elonmusk

Tonight Sukkot ends, Shabbat begins, and we enter Shemini Atzeret. For seven days we lived with the sukkah, the lulav and the etrog. Now the lulav and etrog are put away. The sukkah obligation is over. Shemini Atzeret is its own holiday. Just us and God. Our sages picture it as a king at the end of a feast telling those closest to him: your leaving is hard for Me. Stay one more day. I love that. Judaism has enormous public moments. Sinai. The Exodus. The Temple. Festivals filled with ritual, symbols and memory. And then it gives us Shemini Atzeret, which feels almost private. After all the celebration, after all the commandments, after all the noise, stay. Then Saturday night, Simchat Torah. We finish the Torah and start again before we have time to feel finished. Moses dies. And before we can catch our breath: בראשית ברא אלהים In the beginning, God created. There is no graduation from Torah. We finish. We dance. We roll the scroll back. We begin again. Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach. ✡️

Laughed out loud for real when she said “let’s stick to the technical details” or words to that effect! Thank you, Captain Byron Bailey for speaking truth to idiocy.

Stunned? It's a nation of lions and lionesses where everyone is family regardless of blood ties. Family protects its own. It's not complicated.

A lot of people seem stunned by the resilience the Israelis on that plane showed after the co-pilot tried to bring it down. I’m not stunned at all. What exactly did you expect from Israelis? This is a country that takes some of the most advanced fighter jets in the world and improves them out of improvised offices on military bases. A country building cutting-edge AI companies out of apartments, basements, tiny offices, and whatever workspace happens to be available. What did you expect from people who, when the country is attacked, simply disappear from normal life and report for duty? Fathers of large families. Business owners. Engineers. Doctors. Accountants. Brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins. People with mortgages, payrolls, clients, children, deadlines, and businesses to run. Then suddenly the country is in trouble and all of that becomes secondary. They leave their jobs for weeks or months, put on a uniform, fight, come home, reopen the business, go back to work, and somehow keep the entire economy functioning at the same time. That mentality does something to a society. You become accustomed to responsibility. You become accustomed to chaos. You become accustomed to solving the problem in front of you instead of waiting for for someone else to do it. So you really thought a plane full of people from that society was going to sit quietly while some psychopath tried to bring their aircraft down? Hell no. He picked the wrong passengers. Wrong nationality. Wrong plane.

LOL! Except, I think the Israelis would be in the aisle seats. You know, for quick response. I’d take a middle seat for that, any day!
