Kennedy Jr., an American anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist and onetime presidential candidate who has compared vaccine mandates to the Holocaust and mused that the COVID-19 pandemic was engineered to spare Ashkenazi Jews, is US President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

What Republicans are saying about Matt Gaetz's nomination for attorney general
JOHN BOLTON, former U.N. ambassador and national security adviser:
“It must be the worst nomination for a Cabinet secretary in American history. I think this is something that falls well outside the scope of deference that should be given to a president in nominating members of the senior team. Gaetz is not only totally incompetent for this job, he doesn’t have the character. He is a person of moral turpitude.”

Rep. Max Miller, a Jewish Republican from Ohio, also blasted the nomination. “Gaetz has a better shot at having dinner with Queen Elizabeth II than being confirmed by the Senate,” Miller said, adding that Gaetz is “a reckless pick” with “a zero percent shot.”
Israel to Trump: It would be ‘better’ to stay in the Paris Agreement
One of Donald Trump’s closest international allies has advised him against withdrawing from the Paris global climate pact that America signed in 2015.
Asked whether Israel supported the U.S. president-elect’s plan to leave the Paris Agreement, Israel’s Special Envoy for Climate Change and Sustainability Gideon Behar said: “The more people that will remain … is better.”
What White Christians Have Wrought
https://time.com/7174260/white-christianity-trump-election-essay/
Over the last decade, many white Christians have not just selfishly supported a dangerous, narcissistic man who promised to restore their waning influence; they have now willingly blessed the advent of a new American fascism that threatens our democratic future. They are principally responsible for Trump’s rise and return to power—and for everything that is coming for all of us in its wake.
CEASEFIRE FOR ARMS? Trump Promises to Remove All Arms Restrictions if Israel Agrees to a Ceasefire in Lebanon Before Inauguration Day

To “defeat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens in America,” Trump said he would inform every college president that if they do not “end antisemitic propaganda,” they would lose accreditation and federal support.
“We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it – certainly on American soil,” he said.
Vaccines, Flouride and More: RFK Jr.’s Wildest Public Health Ideas
https://www.thedailybeast.com/vaccines-flouride-and-more-rfk-jrs-wildest-public-health-ideas/
Kennedy is a notorious vaccine skeptic, and serves as the chairman of Children’s Health Defense, one of the leading anti-vaccine nonprofit groups in the country.
He notably led the charge to remove the mercury-based preservative thimerosal from vaccines. The CDC and multiple studies have found no link between the compound and the development of autism.
“There is no evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site,” the CDC states. The preservative was already removed from childhood vaccines by 2001, and was never present in the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, according to the agency.
Putting RFK Jr. in charge of health breaks the first rule of medicine
Donald Trump won on promises to fix the economy, the border and soaring global disorder; his team needs to focus on delivering change on those fronts — not spend energy either having to defend crackpot theories or trying to control RFK Jr.’s mouth.

They also described Israeli air-force exercises involving air-to-surface missiles, believed to be in preparation for aerial strikes inside Iran.

Trump Yuden rein Appointments
With all the "Jewish Pride in the election of Trump - one glaring problem has been ignore - none of his selections are Jewish
Typically the Ambassador to Israel is a Jew as David Friedman was , This time Trump picked a loyalist Baptist minister instead of Friedman. Huckabee is pro Israel but he also believes as a good Christian that a great battle will take place at the end of days and All the Jews will either be killed or will convert.
In sum. Trump seems to be going with the White Christian Nation thing.
Marriage Skills Handbook - Guest Post by Raffi Bilek, LCSW-C
The low divorce rate of the frum community used to be a badge of pride.
In truth, there aren’t many chiddushim in here either. It’s a lot of ideas that have existed already, put together in a way that is digestible and easy to read, with maybe a few twists of my own.
