Mitt Romney’s Honorable Stand Reaffirmed the Wisdom of Impeaching Trump

https://time.com/5779360/romneys-wisdom-impeaching-trump/

Wednesday, February 6 was supposed to be a moment of pure triumph for Donald Trump. The day after he delivered the State of the Union – and the same week that Democrats struggled to announce the results of their Iowa caucus – a united Republican Party was set to deliver a stern rebuke to the House of Representatives. It would end the “impeachment hoax” and march into 2020 firmly united behind a leader who brooks no dissent.

Two young ladies that desperately need to get to seminary in Israel for next year

Dear Reader,

Although for many young people, seminary or Yeshiva in Eretz Yisroel is a luxury, there are some people whose situation is such that they really need to be there - for their own well-being and future.

 There are two young ladies that desperately need to get to seminary in Israel for next year.  Both are seniors in high school.

Young lady A is a yesoma - whose mother remarried but the marriage was disastrous, ended in divorce, and the mother is destitute.

Young lady B's parents are going through a divorce and her mother, her, and her siblings, are being evicted.
If you are able to assist it would be a big Mitzvah and a remarkable zchus.  

Please contact Rabbi Yair Hoffman at yairhoffman2@gmail.com to find out how to help them.  Tizku l'Mitzvos

8 unanswered questions about Trump and Ukraine that will live on after impeachment

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/06/politics/ukraine-impeachment-unanswered-questions/index.html

 Impeachment is over. President Donald Trump has been acquitted. One bruising chapter has ended, but another phase of the Ukraine affair is only now beginning.

Because Senate Republicans blocked all efforts to hear from new witnesses and subpoena documents, the complete story of what happened between Trump and Ukraine still hasn't been told. They calculated that it was better to acquit and move on, even if a smoking gun comes out later.

Preliminary reports said that the soldiers were returning from their IDF inauguration when a car rammed into them on David Remez St. near Jerusalem's First Station and then drove away. Security forces found the suspect's vehicle parked in a driveway in Beit Jala, near Bethlehem.

Pelosi Says She Tore Up Trump's 'Manifesto of Mistruths' as Dems Label His Speech a 'Right-Wing Reality Show'

In a closed-door caucus meeting Wednesday morning, Pelosi received a standing ovation, according to a Democratic aide in the room.

"I tried to find one page I could spare that didn't have a lie on it," she said, according to the aide. "About a quarter through it, I thought, 'You know, he's selling a bill of goods like a snake oil salesman. We cannot let this stand.' So, somewhere along the way, realizing what was coming, I started to stack my papers in a way that were tear-able."

 

Susan Collins' beyond-laughable explanation for her impeachment vote

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/05/politics/susan-collins-trump-impeachment/index.html

Had Collins left it there, she would have been fine. But she didn't leave it there. In an interview with CBS' Norah O'Donnell, Collins said "I believe that the President has learned from this case" and that Trump "will be much more cautious in the future."

 

All of which makes Collins' feeble attempt to defend her vote for acquittal frankly laughable. She has every right to say that she doesn't think that Trump committed impeachable crimes. And that convicting him would set a dangerous precedent for future presidents.

But attempting to suggest that this whole impeachment investigation has been some sort of teachable moment for Trump and that he "has learned from this case"? Give me a break. No one -- including Collins -- believes that.
