My thoughts on politics.
The media had a field day reporting on the funeral of Rav Dovid Soloveitchik on Sunday, reporting huge crowds. But the truth is, even if “tens of thousands” attended Rav Dovid’s funeral, this is a small number, compared to the estimated 300,000 who turned out for Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach’s funeral, in the days before …
Antisemitism will sharply increase in 2021, according to a report issued Sunday by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs. The reason? COVID-19, of course. Everyone knows that when there’s a plague, it’s the fault of the Jews, so it’s likely many of us suspected this might happen, just as it happened during, for instance, the …
A Friday night online service for an Atlanta temple was interrupted by multiple hackers with the aim of shutting it down. What were the hackers shutting down exactly? A sermon delivered by Senator-Elect Raphael Warnock, a known antisemite. The sermon was meant to honor Martin Luther King, whose church Warnock leads. The same temple was …
With talk of impeaching President Trump after the violent protests at the Capitol, many wonder if impeachment is even possible, so close to the inauguration of Joe Biden.

A 40-year-old mother sustained a head injury while on her way to be vaccinated for COVID-19, when Arab terrorists hurled boulders at her car. Two of her children were in the car with her, at the time. While the children were unharmed, their mother is said to be “seriously injured.” The attack occurred on the …
US Special Representative to Iran Brian Hook, told Israel’s i24 News, that if Biden attempts to restart Obama’s appeasement tack with Iran, Israel can kiss any more Middle East peace deals goodbye. “If the Biden administration pursue a policy of accommodating Iran and alienating our partners in the region, there will be no more peace …
Perhaps by the time you read this, we’ll know how things will play out. Some, including the right-wing media, think they know: Biden is certified by the state electors, and is sworn in as president as January. But at least one Facebookian still holds out hope that Trump can still overturn the election results. From …
Kanye West’s 2020 presidential campaign may have flopped, but Lavonne Alford, a rapper more commonly known as M-1, made out big time. Alford, who is half of the duo known as Dear Prez, received $100,000 in late October, from West’s campaign. No one seems to know what services were rendered for this sum, though the …
While many continue to hope that President Trump will expose massive election fraud and be declared the winner of the 2020 election, most are trying to come to terms with a bad situation: an apparent win for Joe Biden. None of Trump’s supporters believe Joe won fair and square, but proving malfeasance is something else. …
We all understand the need to place limits on gatherings with the oh-so-contagious COVID-19 in our midst. But how are we to understand permission granted for Christmas celebrations but not for Chanukah celebrations? That’s what happened in Quebec, Canada, and the only way to understand the ruling is from the perspective of antisemitism: Christmas yes, …
