Guess who’s coming to dinner? A mentally ill rapper, a neo-Nazi and a born-again apologist for pederasty. If it sounds like a set-up for a bad joke or a Mel Brooks skit, that’s because it is. It is what Donald Trump always was: a deliberate failure of taste. No one is laughing now.
Trump’s private parties are of public interest. He is still the nominal leader of the Republican Party. He is running for the Republicans’ presidential nomination in 2024. But he is already yesterday’s man.

The Likud and United Torah Judaism (UTJ) announced late Tuesday night that they had reached an agreement over the jobs that UTJ will receive in the upcoming government and coalition.
The jobs include two ministers, three deputy ministers and four Knesset committee chairpersons.
The ministries are the Construction and Housing Ministry, including the Israel Land Authority, and the "Jerusalem and Tradition" Ministry, an expansion of the Jerusalem Affairs Ministry.

December 7, '22, Pearl Harbor Day:
Leaders and all,
To avoid the specter of this Pearl Harbor Day becoming, on yet another count, "The Day that Shall Live in Infamy" -- America needs a genuine "RED WAVE" of righteous indignation to urge Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Lee Zeldin (R, NY), and Minority Leader McCarthy (as well as Rep. Scalise) to do two things - today:
1) vote against HR8404, being a rebellion against G-d, as well as a betrayal of man, and
2) urge the rest of the GOP to do the same.
° Stefanik is probably somewhat receptive to public pressure, owing to both her position as House GOP Conference Chairwoman, and her formidable political aspirations.
° Zeldin is also somewhat influential (being considered for a position heading the Republican National Committee, according to Fox News), and has apparently already signaled that he plans on voting No this time.
They need to understand that THIS very day - on Pearl Harbor Day - 81 years later - a horde of Republicans are considering perpetrating an incomprehensible sin, tantamount to - among other things - spitting on each and every one of the graves of the 291 thousand plus combat casualties of that day and thereafter, throughout WWII, and, in fact, ALL of the 405,000-plus American casualties of that devastating war.* Is THIS what they lived, struggled, fought and died for? Did they make the ultimate sacrifice so that their posterity could {in many cases, commemorate the hundredth anniversary of their birth-year by opting to} destroy the moral fabric on which the Republic was founded?
(* A war which the saintly Chofetz Chaim OB"M (d.1933) had predicted to occur, as the second of three "Wars of Gog and Magog," as related in "Lev Eliyahu" (al haTorah) of Rav Elya Lopian OB"M).

An Existential Threat:
The more votes this bill gets, the graver the legitimacy that it will lend the the dangerous myth of homosexual marriage, and the graver the danger for "dissidents" who resist this antireligious edict ("Gezairah al HaDas").
Judaism has always charged Jews with carrying a universal message. Who will share it with the Nations of the World if not us?
» Our Holy Sages, in the venerated Midrash Rabbah on the Book of VaYikra, 23:9 (on the verse Leviticus 18:3), identify the writing of marriage contracts for homosexual "marriages" as what triggered the Great Flood - the catastrophic deluge that destroyed the entirety of civilization, except No'ach and those saved with him.
» In the Jerusalem Talmud, tractate Berachos 9:2, our Sages identify the sin of sodomy as one of the sins that precipitates earthquakes.
» In Babylonian Talmud tractate Chullin, 92b, our Sages enumerate three Divine commandments, to which even morally degraded nations have traditionally adhered. One is their historical refusal to sanction homosexual unions as "marriage." The clear implication is that undermining that commandment, as HR8404 seeks to do, would undermine a crucial merit, by virtue of which the Nations of the World exist, thus posing an existential threat, as in the days of No'ach's Flood.

WHATEVER CAN BE DONE TO STOP THIS EXISTENTIAL THREAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, NOW.

° A senior Orthodox activist explained to me years ago that it's important that the elected officials understand that in addition to being an issue of deeply held principles, this type of legislation poses a very real and present danger, and does so in a very personal and tangible manner. The politicians need to understand from us that this type of legislation is killing us.
° Also realize that many politicians are seeking a way to justify voting for this open rebellion against G-d. They seek to exploit sincere concerns by good people over the threat to religious liberty posed by passing such legislation. They offer "religious exemptions" - to enlist sincere legislators in their efforts to whitewash this inherently evil legislation. However, as I observed last week in a meeting with some high-level Republican staffers, everyone in the know knows that much of the genuflecting to religious exemptions is really not only whitewash - but hogwash. That's because the moment the bill would pass, G-d forbid, religious exemptions would be headed on their way out, especially if its religious exemptions are solid (unlike the existing ones). So, in the long run, the religious exemptions will have had served no real purpose other than expediting the lethal legislation (as they did in N.Y. in 2011), and rendering it more acceptable, and thereby more dangerous. What the LGBT movement wants here is legitimization. We provide it to them at our own peril, G-d forbid.
Please contact these key congressmen as soon as you possibly can. A vote is expected sometime in mid-afternoon, but that could shlep, so if you're late - you may not be too late, so call if in doubt. Please help save America from its greatest menace, the danger from within.

Dr. Aryeh Avni, a prominent figure in what is commonly known as the "anti-vax" movement, has had his license to practice medicine permanently revoked, after the Jerusalem District Court rejected his appeal filed after the Health Ministry stripped him of his license a year ago.
"We must distinguish between having an opinion and incitement," stated Judge Nimrod Flax in his ruling, adding that Avni had "conducted a smear campaign against health authorities in an effort to persuade people not to abide by their directives. A doctor who decides to act in such a way, delegitimizing the medical authorities, places himself outside the health system."

In June’s Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, the court took a hammer to the wall separating church and state, when the six conservative justices sided with a public school football coach, Joseph Kennedy, who claimed he was fired for quietly praying alone after the final whistle. “Joseph Kennedy lost his job as a high school football coach because he knelt at midfield after games,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in his majority opinion. “He offered his prayers quietly while his students were otherwise occupied.”
This is not what happened. The record in the case shows that Kennedy’s prayers were neither quiet nor private; students joined in, some because they felt pressured—which is precisely why schools prohibit such prayers. “Kennedy’s practice evolved into postgame talks in which Kennedy would hold aloft student helmets and deliver speeches with ‘overtly religious references,’” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissent, which included a picture showing Kennedy raising a helmet while players kneel around him. When asked to make his prayers private, Kennedy had refused.

"It bothers me and should bother all of you that MTG is claiming to be pro-Trump and using Trump to boost her profile, while she and her team are secretly undermining him by using Milo as a political operative to make Trump look bad," Loomer said. "MTG is a snake and she needs to go. That's why I call her Marjorie TRAITOR Greene."

Greenberg was initially charged with more than 30 criminal counts, but in May 2021 pleaded guilty to six charges — including sex trafficking and fraud — in exchange for his cooperation in multiple cases, including a sex trafficking probe into Gaetz. The two men were once friends, and Gaetz described Greenberg as his “wingman” to acquaintances.

Re: the threats posed by legal recognition of same-gender "marriage"
Esteemed Leaders and All,
A vote on the homosexual marriage bill HR8404 is looming in the U.S. House of Representatives, after passage in the Senate last Tues., due to support of 12 Republicans, joining 49 out of 50 Democratic senators. In July, over 47 Republicans voted for a similar bill in the House. The more votes the bill gets, the graver the legitimacy that it will lend the the dangerous myth of homosexual marriage, and the graver the danger for "dissidents" who resist this antireligious edict ("Gezairah al HaDas").
Our Holy Sages, in the venerated Midrash Rabbah on the Book of VaYikra, 23:9 (on the verse Leviticus 18:3), identify the writing of marriage contracts for homosexual "marriages" as what triggered the Great Flood - the catastrophic deluge that destroyed the entirety of civilization, except Noach and those saved with him.
Attached are a few important items of interest. WHATEVER CAN BE DONE TO STOP THIS EXISTENTIAL THREAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP, TODAY. We hope for a delay, to continue mounting pressure nation-wide, but ought to act as if there will be none.

In sum, Trump posted on Truth Social that, what he believed to be, election fraud in the 2020 presidential election allows "for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." For that reason, we rated this claim "Correct Attribution."
Billions of words have been devoted to analyzing, criticizing, demonizing and denouncing Donald Trump.
In newspapers, magazines and books, on television and social media, unnamed advisers provide a barometer of his moods and methods, sometimes venting their own frustration about what he’s doing or refusing to do.
And yet for all the digging about what’s happening behind the scenes, it is often Trump’s own words – on display, out in the open, in the light of day – that cause him the greatest problems.
Tanchuma (Kedoshim 02:01) When Adam was created, the angels said, “Master of the world, is this the one in whose name we are praising You?” He told them, “No. This person is a thief.When Noah came, they said to to G-d, “Is this the one?” He told them, “No. This person is a drunkard When Abraham came, they said to Him, “Is this the one?” He told them, “This is a stranger.” When Isaac came, they said to Him, “Is this the one?” He told them, “This one loves My enemy” When Jacob came, they said to Him, “Is this the one?” He told them, “Yes,
Mizrachi (Bereishis 33:20) And he called the name of the altar by the name of the miracle as if he called it G-d. In other words he said because the G-d of Israel is my G-d since my name is Israel. The explanation of “my G-d” is that He has saved me from all attacks and therefore it is equivalent to calling the altar “G-d is my miracle”. Bereishis Rabbah gives a different explanation that Yakov said You are G-d in the upper realm and I am G-d in the lower realm since the image of Jakob is engaved on the throne of glory.
Rabbeinu Bachya (Bereishis 33:20) “he set up an altar there and he called it G-d, G-d the L-rd of Israel.” The plain meaning of these words is that Yaakov named the altar after the G-d who had performed a miracle for him at that site. Moses did something similar as the Torah reports in Shemos 17,16 after Israel had warded off the attack by Amalek “Moses built an altar and called it: ‘G-d is My banner.’”A kabbalistic approach: the G-d of Israel called Yaakov “EL.” This is also what our sages have said in Bereshit Rabbah 79,8. The wording there is that G-d said to Israel: “I am G-d in heaven whereas you are “EL” on earth.” This would reflect what we have quoted repeatedly that Yaakov’s likeness is engraved on the throne of G-d.
Ramban (Bereishis 33:20) And by way of the Truth, [that is, the mystic lore of the Cabala, the verse is to be understood] as being in accord with the Midrash which the Rabbis have expounded in Megillah “Whence do we know that the Holy One, blessed be He, called Jacob eil? It is said, And He — the G-d of Israel — called him ‘eil.’ “ There is in this matter a great secret, which the Sages have additionally mentioned in another way: “Jacob said to G-d, ‘Thou art the G-d of those on high, and I am the master of those down below.’” The Sages thereby alluded to that which they constantly say: the likeness of Jacob is engraved in the Heavenly Throne.
Gantz has insisted that the assertion, also made by the Palestinian Authority, that Israel deliberately targeted Abu Akleh is a “blatant lie.” Gantz also said last month that the FBI investigation is unnecessary. Lapid criticized the US decision to investigate the incident, vowing not to allow IDF soldiers to be “interrogated by the FBI or by any foreign body or foreign country, no matter how friendly.”
