The former CBS reporter Lara Logan, who compared Dr Anthony Fauci to the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, has claimed she was “pushed out” at Fox News because the conservative network does not want “independent thinkers”.

Freud basically interprets rage and anger as expressions of hate towards the father figure - a hate he defines in terms of the sadistic component of the libido

Social pressure to sin?

 Shabbos (118b) R. Jose also said: I have never disregarded the words of my neighbor's. I know of myself that I am not a priest, yet if my neighbors were to tell me to ascend the dais, I would ascend it. R. Jose also said: I have never in my life said anything from which I retracted.

For the first time in recent months, registered voters in the U.S. say that the top issue on their minds is the threat facing democracy, according to a poll from NBC released Sunday. Previous NBC polls in March and May showed that the top issue on the minds of those surveyed was cost of living.

Vote for Lawler?!

BS"D

Aug. 23, '22
Rabbosai, and all,

ONE flyer (attached), with the endorsement of the pro-To'aiva Log 

Cabin Republicans for [incumbent Assemblyman] Mike Lawler 

for Congress - with a little explanation in English/ Yiddish -

 IF PROPERLY distributed in time - could potentially turn the 

election against Lawler - 

especially in the Conservative Party Primary - 

if our experience years ago with our campaign against

 (subsequently disgraced) Assemblyman Ryan Scott Karben is any indicator.

Lawler had the temerity to post it himself -

 in the midst of a republican PRIMARY(!) - 

itself a testimony to the decrepit state of republican affairs:

Of course, Lawler earned his Log Cabin
endorsement, 

via his hard work for their cause:

Most people don't understand that the primary battle here is 

not for a seat in Congress, it's for the soul of the Republican Party. 

THAT is a battle we can win, G-d willing,, regardless of the outcome of this particular race, IF the GOP understands that we will not vote for their transgenderist, Trojan Homosexualist candidates. 

We always have alternatives, even it's a protest vote.

Trump's PAC will fund his Smithsonian portrait, in an unusual move

 https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/22/trumps-pac-smithsonian-portrait-00053204

The $650,000 donation last month from the Save America PAC — an organization controlled by Trump himself — was unprecedented, as no other political action committee has funded a presidential portrait in the past, Smithsonian spokesperson Linda St. Thomas said. An additional $100,000 was given by an undisclosed donor to support the portraits, she said.

The funds, which total $750,000, will go to the artists, events and other fees associated with the two Trump portraits.

Donald Trump's 'Delay Tactic' on Mar-a-Lago Likely Doomed: Prosecutor

 https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-delay-tactic-mar-lago-likely-doomed-prosecutor-1735862

In addition to Aronberg, Harvard Law School Professor Laurence Tribe has suggested that the chances of Trump's suit being successful are slim, describing the motion as "very strange" during an interview with MSNBC's Joy Reid on Monday. Tribe said that the former president was "asking" to be prosecuted while pointing out that the motion was filed on behalf of "President Donald J. Trump" rather than on behalf of Trump as a private citizen.

"One of the amazing things that I agree with [in the filing]... President Trump—he still calls himself President Trump—should not be treated differently from any other citizen," said Tribe. "Finally, he gets that right. Any other citizen who took top-secret material to not just a private home but a resort, like Mar-a-Lago... would be prosecuted... he is sort of asking [Attorney General] Merrick Garland to prosecute him."

Tribe also said that the two-week delay in filing the motion was "quite strange" and echoed Aronberg's conclusion by saying "it's sort of too late to ask for some new special master."

‘We got rolled’: How the conservative grassroots lost the fight with Biden because it was focused on Trump

 https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/22/conservative-grassroots-biden-trump-00052983

In years past, it would have been a political Waterloo moment for Republicans: President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats racing frantically to finalize sweeping legislation to hike taxes on corporations and spend trillions on climate change and health care subsidies.

But instead of mounting a massive grassroots opposition to tank or tar the Inflation Reduction Act, conservatives and right-wing news outlets spent the past week with their gaze elsewhere: the FBI’s search of Donald Trump’s Palm Beach mansion.

Why Trump is the most pro-gay president in U.S. history

 https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/commentary/fl-op-com-brett-trump-pro-gay-president-20200127-qz62atj34jcezj66elpfip7ige-story.html

Without a doubt, President Donald Trump is the most pro-gay president in history. As a matter of fact, Trump has been more openly supportive of gay rights than former President Barack Obama was when he was first elected in 2008, or President Bill Clinton during his eight years in office.

Log Cabin Republicans chair: LGBT Americans belong in Donald Trump's Republican Party

 https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2020/08/20/donald-trump-lgbtq-lgbt-gay-rights-republican-equality-column/5605491002/

It hasn’t always been this way. For years, the GOP generally stood against the inclusion of gay and lesbian conservatives. As one of the Republican National Committee's first openly gay members, and a longtime leader of Log Cabin Republicans, I've worked tirelessly alongside many friends and colleagues to pull the party into the future. Today, thanks in large part to the leadership of President Donald Trump, the party has delivered meaningful policy victories for gays and lesbians.

The Republican revolt against democracy, explained in 13 charts

 https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/22274429/republicans-anti-democracy-13-charts

The Republican Party is the biggest threat to American democracy today. It is a radical, obstructionist faction that has become hostile to the most basic democratic norm: that the other side should get to wield power when it wins elections.

A few years ago, these statements may have sounded like partisan Democratic hyperbole. But in the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol and Trump’s acquittal in the Senate on the charge of inciting it, they seem more a plain description of where we’re at as a country.

But how deep does the GOP’s problem with democracy run, really? How did things get so bad? And is it likely to get worse?

Ivermectin among drugs that failed avoiding hospitalization for COVID-19 patients - study

 https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/coronavirus/article-715162

Ivermectin, the popular controversial COVID-19 drug, was roundly disavowed for treatment of the coronavirus by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to the FDA website, Ivermectin is used to treat or prevent parasites in animals and can be used to treat parasitic worms, lice and other skin conditions in humans. The formulations for animals are chemically distinct from those meant for humans.

The Fact And Fiction Of ‘Rigged Election’ Claims - prior to 2016 election

 https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2016/10/18/election-2016-trump-rigged-election-fraud

Donald Trump warns that if he loses the election, it’s because it’s rigged. Trump claims that dead people will vote, that illegal immigrants are voting. It’s an unprecedented move by a presidential candidate: to claim a stolen election before it even happens. What does that mean for our democracy? And why do Trump’s claims resonate with so many of his supporters?  This hour On Point, Trump, rigged elections, clean elections and democracy. — Jane Clayson

POLITICO: Trump lashes out at Republicans for not buying election rigging line — "Donald Trump on Monday morning lashed out at Republican leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, who have pushed back against the GOP nominee’s message that the election is being rigged against him. 'Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!' Trump tweeted."
