woman are spiritually inferior to men - Netziv

Netziv (Bereishis 1:27)In the image of G-d All of nature in its entirety was included with in him. From the moment that it occurred in thought and speech that Nature should be that way G-d was called Elokim i.e the G-d of Nature. And since all Nature was included in man he was thus in the image of Elokim. But this is only true for the elevated man as he was before the Sin. And afterwards  male and female He created them This verse is not saying that gender was different in man from the other species so this teaches us  that they were in fact two creatures as I will explain later and since the male of the human species is not comparable to the female  as it states in Koheles(7:28) I found one man out of a thousand  but not among woman. In other words the elevated man is like one who is in the image of G-d and that is one man out of a thousand. In contrast amongst women, they are like the second man who has the name of man but not the spiritual level

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/281047

 

Following Sweden's decision not to institute a lockdown to control the spread of coronavirus, the country's death rate is now one of the highest in the world.

Over the past week, Sweden has seen 5.59 deaths per million people, significantly higher than the global average of 0.49 deaths per million people.

Earlier this week, Sweden's state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell admitted that his country is in a "terrible situation."

In a sad week for America, Trump has fled from his duty

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/30/opinions/trump-twitter-minneapolis-george-floyd-gergen/index.html

But other than a brief tweet in the midst of another storm, Trump remained silent on the most sensitive issue of his presidency: the pandemic that is killing so many older Americans and people of color living near the edge. Understandably, with the rash of other news, the press is moving on. But we should pause for one more moment to recognize how sad and sharp a departure his silence is from past traditions of the presidency.

Trump Lashes Out as His Election Prospects Darken

https://time.com/5843451/trump-lashes-out-as-his-election-prospects-darken/

Some prominent Republicans say the President has crossed the line with the attacks he’s lobbed in recent days. “We’re in the middle of a pandemic, he’s the Commander-in-Chief of this nation, and it’s causing great pain to the family of the young woman who died, so I would urge him to stop it,” Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the chair of the House Republican Conference, said May 27, referencing Trump’s repeated implication that Scarborough had been involved in the death of staff member Lori Klausutis in 2001. (Police ruled the death an accident; at the time, Scarborough was hundreds of miles away.) Mitt Romney, the only Republican senator to vote to convict Trump on abuse of power during his impeachment trial, called Trump’s suggestions about Scarborough’s involvement in Klausutis’s death “vile” and “baseless.” “Enough already,” the senator from Utah tweeted.

 

Judge Napolitano says officer charged in Floyd's death should be charged with second-degree murder

https://www.foxnews.com/media/judge-napolitano-says-officer-charged-in-gorge-floyds-death-should-be-charged-with-second-degree-murder

 

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano reacted Friday to Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin being charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter over the death of George Floyd as riots and protests continue in the city.

"Third-degree murder is the same thing as manslaughter, which is a reckless indifference to human life. Probable cause statement shows that the knee was on the neck for more than four minutes, that the other officers said to him, 'Do you think you should lay off of him?' That one of the officers took his pulse and there was no pulse and Officer Chauvin kept his knee on the neck even after there was no pulse," Napolitano said on "Bill Hemmer Reports." "Now, that behavior to me is an intent to kill, which is second-degree murder. What's the difference? One has 20 five years in jail as a max. The other has 40 years in jail as a max."

Judge Pirro says 'facts are clear,' Minnesota officer 'does not deserve to be free'

https://www.foxnews.com/media/judge-jeanine-pirro-officer-arrest-george-floyd

Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro said on Friday that there are “clear facts” showing that the police officer who killed George Floyd needs to be arrested and charged with murder under Minnesota law.

“What you have is a police officer with a record of [a] series of complaints over the 19 years that he’s been a police officer who ended up snuffing the life out of an African-American over an alleged counterfeit $20 bill that he was using to buy food for his family,” the host of "Justice with Jeanine" told “Fox & Friends.”

 

“I want to know what were those police officers doing as George Floyd was begging, saying he couldn’t breathe, saying ‘please please,’ begging them and then crying for his mama?" Pirro asked. "I mean, break your heart. This man who put his knee on the neck of George Floyd does not deserve to be free in this country.”

Hours after the interview aired, Chauvin was arrested.

The Trump-Twitter fight ropes in the rest of Silicon Valley

The deepening feud between the president and his go-to social media platform is forcing companies like Facebook and Google to gird for a lobbying battle to defend the legal protections that underpin their lucrative business models, sooner and much more publicly than they had originally expected. Those preparations accelerated this week, even as Facebook made it clear to Trump that it doesn't share Twitter's view of how online platforms should handle political speech.

Supreme Court rejects request from California church to block restrictions on in-person services

 A 5-4 Supreme Court rejected a request from a church in California to block limitations on the number of people who could attend religious services during the coronavirus pandemic.

Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberals on the bench, and wrote separately to explain his vote.

"Although California's guidelines place restrictions on places of worship, those restrictions appear consistent with the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment," Roberts wrote.

 

Science Can't Tell Us What to Do- neither can politicians

http://www.jewishmediaresources.com/2050/science-cant-tell-us-what-to-do


Issues such as to what degree of infringements on personal privacy are justified in pursuit of public health, or to what extent individuals should be allowed to accept risk upon themselves — e.g., grandparents who want to see their grandchildren — are ultimately value questions. And on those, scientists have nothing more to say than you and I.

 Rosenblum is a Republican apologist ignoring well known Torah values. My view might not be superior to Trump - however the gedolim have seen fit to ignore
Rosenblum's polemics and say life is the main concern

ON the other hand there is no reason to assume the wisdom of Trump and his fellow wrecking crew the supposedly pro life Republicans are willing to ignore medical advice they hold that the loss of some old people or lower class young people is justified for the sake of the economy. Trump calls those he thinks are expendable "warriors"  Naturally he does not include himself or his family in this group

A week of distractions from Trump shows a leader in crisis

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/30/politics/trump-distractions-pandemic-racial-unrest/index.html

Trump's efforts to change the subject at moments of peril have been a hallmark of his entire career in politics and, when successful, a constant source of frustration for his rivals. But rarely have they appeared more blatant or off-key than now, as a battered nation emerges from a pandemic that has left more than 100,000 dead and as racial unrest brews again.

Fact check: On Memorial Day, Trump falsely attacks Democratic congressman who is a Marine Corps veteran

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/26/politics/fact-check-trump-conor-lamb-pelosi/index.html

Trump claimed that Lamb -- whose first and last name he misspelled as "Connor Lamm" -- is a "puppet" for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Trump continued: "He said he would NOT vote for her for Speaker, and did."

Facts First: Lamb, elected in a special election in March 2018 and then again in the general election in November 2018, kept his promise not to vote for Pelosi as speaker. Lamb voted for Rep. Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts.

 

Monday was not the first time Trump has made an egregious false claim about Lamb. In 2018, Trump falsely claimed Lamb had said he loves Trump's tax cuts -- which Lamb had campaigned against. In 2019, Trump falsely claimed Lamb called Trump "excellent" and said Trump was "doing a good job."
