At the rally, Miller, said, “Each generation has the responsibility to teach the next generation. You know, if we win a few elections we’re still going to be losing unless we win the hearts of our children. It’s the battle. Hitler was right on one thing that whoever has the youth has the future. Our children are being propagandized.”

Trump's parting gift- Democrats take control with Warnock and Ossoff wins
https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-55556928
The Democratic Party of US President-elect Joe Biden has won control of the Senate - and of Congress overall - with two victories in the state of Georgia.
Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff defeated Republican incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue respectively.
Democrats will control the Senate, the House of Representatives and the White House for the first time since 2009.
An estimated four million Georgians turned out to vote in the run-off election.
The result is a severe blow for outgoing Republican President Donald Trump.
Orders of senior ultra-Orthodox rabbis on school closure remain unclear
On Tuesday night Edelstein issued a statement that criticized the public for negligence in obeying health regulations, and called those who are lax in observing health warnings “rodef” – that is, someone who poses a danger to the lives of others.
Guns drawn, lawmakers under desks as pro-Trump mob roams and loots Congress
Where are they?” a Trump supporter demanded in a crowd of dozens
roaming the halls of the US Capitol, bearing Trump flags and pounding on
doors.
They — lawmakers, staff members and more — were hiding under
tables, hunkered in lockdowns, saying prayers, and seeing the fruits of
the country’s divisions up close and violent.
Orthodox Jewish Trump supporters decry violence, not movement behind mob
And on Wednesday, some Orthodox Jews took their support for Trump
to the next level, traveling to Washington to participate in the Trump
rally that turned into a mob.
Some of the Orthodox Jewish Trump supporters
who attended even traveled to the rally on specially chartered buses
from Orthodox Jewish communities, some of which were organized in
special WhatsApp groups. One person who attended the rally said there
were at least eight buses to Washington organized by Orthodox Jews.
Groups
were formed for people from Monsey, New York, and Lakewood, New Jersey,
two areas with large Orthodox populations. Two buses were reportedly
chartered from Brooklyn.
Orthodox
Jews were present at the rally where President Trump spoke Wednesday,
telling the crowd to “walk down to the Capitol” and that “you will never
take back our country with weakness.” But many Orthodox Trump
supporters condemned the violence that followed when protesters stormed
the capitol.
Trump Is to Blame for Capitol Attack
President Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress incited a violent attack Wednesday against the government they lead and the nation they profess to love. This cannot be allowed to stand.
Mr. Trump’s seditious rhetoric prompted a mob of thousands of people to storm the U.S. Capitol building, some breaking onto the House and Senate floors, where the nation’s elected representatives had gathered to perform their constitutional duty of counting electoral votes and confirming the election of Joe Biden as president.
It
is fitting that some carried the Confederate flag as they attacked the
seat of American government and forced the suspension of congressional
debate. They shattered windows and broke doors, clashing with
overwhelmed security forces as they shouted their support for Mr. Trump
and their defiance of the lawful results of the 2020 election. One woman was killed. The nation’s leaders were sent scurrying for shelter.
Graham calls Biden 'lawfully' elected, says 'enough is enough' following breach of Capitol
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/lindsey-graham-calls-biden-lawfully-elected-enough-is-enough
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called President-elect Joe Biden "lawfully" elected and urged his Senate colleagues "Enough is enough" regarding election fraud allegations.
Graham, at times, has been a critic of President Trump but he has often been a close ally during his presidency.
The senator's remarks came as the Senate voted on certifying the Electoral College votes hours after a group of Trump supporters breached the Capitol, forcing an evacuation.
He said while he supported his colleagues' right to object to the election results, he wouldn’t support it and felt it is a "uniquely bad idea to delay this election."
Trump has been a "consequential" president, Graham said he believes, "but today…count me out. Enough is enough."

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis rebuked President Trump on Wednesday, accusing him of fomenting violence at the U.S. Capitol and poisoning Americans' respect for fellow citizens.

Parents listening to the singing of their young daughters
Igros Moshe (O.C. 01:026):Listening to a young girl singing. This that you write that it is impossible to protest that parents should not come to listen to their children singing without causing great controversy, therefore you want to know my view regarding what the halacha regarding listening to children singing? Beis Shmuel( E.H. 21.4) explicitly states that the voice of an unmarried woman is permitted except during prayer and the Magen Avraham (E.H. 75.6) states that only the singing of a married woman is always prohibited. This that an unmarried female is permitted is only if she is not a nida. This is stated by the Pre Magadim and it seems that nida is viewed as erva. The Be’er Heitiv (E.H. 21.4) cites the Be’er Sheva saying that unmarried females or a widow is prohibited and only the voice of a man’s wife is permitted except during prayer. That seems to mean that even an unmarried female who is not a nida and thus disagrees with the Beis Shmuel. Thus the halacha is in accord with the greater number of those that permit and furthermore the Be’er Heitiv does not note that the Be’er Sheva disagrees which indicates he has no concern that that view is halacha.In addition the Mishna Bereura (75.17) also permits an unmarried female who is not a nida when it is not during Shema. What needs to be a point of concern is that which the Mishna Berura writes that the singing of an unmarried girl is permitted as long as there is no intent for pleasure so that it doesn’t lead to lustful thoughts. So possibly there are some who come with the intent to listen and have lustful thoughts which is prohibited. But it seems that the Misha Berura means someone who listens for lustful rasons.and we can assume here also that people are not coming to listen for lustful reasons and we don’t need to be concerned that lustful thoughts will be produced by listening to girls singing. Thus the prohibition only applies to females that are prohibited to him inherently to get any pleasure from them which excludes unmarried girls who are not nida. So even if there is concern that listening will result in lustful thoughts, this is relevant only for older girls who might become nida and not young girls. In addition there is normally no lust for sex with children and consequently looking or listening to children does not produce lustful thoughts even when done for the sake of pleasure. This is true even for girls older than 9 years. In conclusion you asked for the actual halacha and that is that it is permissible for girls singing as long as they are not more than 11 ears old. More than 11, even if it is known that they are not nida and according to the straight halacha it is possible to be lenient as I have explained, nevertheless you should be strict since it is possible for some to be nida, If there is no pressing need you should always prohibit because in these matters all who take the strict view are called holy.
NJ LGBT bills scheduled for MONDAY
BS"D
22 Teves, 5781 / January 6, '21
Esteemed Leaders,
Two
major NJ LGBT bills, as feared, have just been scheduled for this
coming Monday January 11: A4454 (public schools), and S2545 (healthcare
facilities).
The letter to the editor regarding the bills should already be online at the NJ Jewish Link (https://www.jewishlinknj.com, although I've not seen it yet). A brief report should be coming out in the Jewish Press today too.
Action Items:
1.)
Assemblyman Gary Schaer (D) of Passaic needs massive pressure to kill
both bills, by exposing them and rallying others likewise to do so.
Without pressure, he'll exploit the standard myth that "they'll pass
anyway" (as Einstein is reputed to have said, a sign of an idiot is
repeating the same acts -- in this case, doing nothing to expose the
overt evils of both bills - and/ or even actively voting for them --
while somehow expecting different results).
2.)
For Lakewood residents, your legislators should be urged to lead the
charge against both of these dangerous bills, to at least procure
maximum Republican opposition.
3.) Tips:
1) Even non-religious legislators need to hear that this "Education" bill isn't about education, it's about indoctrination.
2)
This Healthcare facilities legislation is not about healthcare or
fairness, it's about enabling the sexual assault of our most vulnerable
in long term healthcare facilities, of course, predictably perpetrated
in the name of procuring newly concocted "rights" (for those who choose
to flaunt biological reality).
3) That bill,
which would ultimately make it practically impossible for religious
people to use such facilities, also been accurately branded as one of
NJs rape-enabling bills [along with the joint "no questions asked"
Abortion / Human- Trafficking enabling legislation they've been trying
to pass recently].
The recent escalation of
Divine Judgement should prompt us to oppose all measures to legitimize
immorality, inasmuch as when sexual immorality is rampant, G-d allows
massive collective retribution which kills some good people along with
the evil ones. Let us not be counted among the good people who could
have done more to protest and combat the evildoers - so we may merit to
avoid being punished along with them.
Thank you all again,
