Rav Yehoshua Kalish zt”l
https://matzav.com/rav-yehoshua-kalish-ztl/
Rav Kalish was a gaon in Torah, a talmid chochom of extraordinary depth who completed Shas over 40 times during his lifetime.
As a maggid shiur and rebbi, he educated and inspired thousands, shaping the lives of countless talmidim with his brilliance, warmth, and heartfelt hadracha.
In his role as a rov, Rav Kalish was a pillar of strength and leadership, offering chochmas haTorah to his kehillah and the broader community. His sensitivity, clarity in psak, and boundless ahavas Yisroel left an indelible mark on all who were privileged to know him.
Trump won. The celebrations started. Then the trouble began

“It’s hard to argue that a Putin apologist who is friends with Assad represents conservative foreign policy. It’s hard to argue that someone who wants to get rid of fluoride in your water and favors abortion for all nine months is a conservative family pick,” said Marc Short, a longtime adviser to Pence, referring to Gabbard and Kennedy, respectively, before saying that the Gaetz choice “makes a mockery of the whole Department of Justice — which could be what Trump wants to do — but it’s not really advancing law and order.”
Pete Hegseth's Fox News Colleagues React to 'White Supremacist' Accusation
In his 2024 book, The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free, Hegseth, who is a New York Times bestselling author, spoke out against the military's drive to increase diversity among higher-ranked officers.
"Take it to the racist bank: Black troops at all levels will be promoted simply based on their race," he wrote in a section cited by The Washington Post. "Some will be qualified; some will not be."
Hegseth left the Army in 2021, according to Reuters, after being labeled an "extremist" he said, and that the Army did not want him. In his book, Hegseth also wrote that the feeling was mutual, "I didn't want this Army anymore either."

Wasserman Schultz says Gabbard ‘likely a Russian asset’
Gabbard has shared content suggesting that the U.S. was involved in Ukraine developing biological weapons. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said at the time that she was “parroting Russian propaganda” and that her “treasonous lies may well cost lives.”
In 2022, she also knocked the Biden administration for failing to address Russian concerns amid its invasion of Ukraine.
Why Trump’s Clown Cabinet of Deplorables Is a No-Joke Circus
https://www.thedailybeast.com/gaetz-rfk-jr-gabbard-trumps-cabinet-of-deplorables-is-no-joke/
The pet-murdering former South Dakota Snow Queen to head the Department of Homeland Security? Ron Burgundy to head the Department of Defense? An accused pedophile and sex-trafficker to be Attorney General? A woman Russian television proudly proclaims is an agent for them to be the top intelligence official in the U.S. government? The anti-vaxx conspiracy theorist with a brain worm to head the Department of Health and Human Services?
Trump Keeps Trolling as the ‘Resistance’ Fades
We are back to the Island of Misfit Toys. What a mistake. Mr. Trump often confuses his own antic malice for daring, his own unseriousness for boldness. How amazing that in the rosy glow of election, he will spend so much political capital and goodwill on confirmation fights he may well, and certainly deserves to, lose.
The Strange World of RFK Jr.
Donald Trump II is a brave new world, and look no further than his strange choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Health and Human Services Department. Only months ago Mr. Trump was calling the Kennedy family scion a “liberal lunatic,” yet now he wants to hand RFK Jr. the power to “make America healthy again.” Good luck making sense of this nomination.
Kristi Noem 'Knows Nothing' About Homeland Security: Ex-Trump Official
https://www.newsweek.com/kristi-noem-knows-nothing-homeland-security-ex-trump-official-1986824
Elizabeth Neumann, who was assistant Homeland Security secretary in Trump's first White House tenure, as well as serving in the department under George W. Bush, told CNN host Kaitlan Collins that it is "concerning" that the department doesn't have the kind of leader it deserves. Newsweek has contacted Noem via the contact form on her website for comment outside of regular working hours.
"It's a little concerning for the agency itself that you have somebody coming in that really knows nothing about Homeland Security and hasn't had that much experience actually—I know she's the governor of a state, but it's a relatively small state—hasn't been in office that long," Neumann said. "So I'm a little concerned for the agency itself that they don't have the kind of leader that they deserve."
Trump Second Thoughts?
Mishpacha has been among Trump's greatest supporters especially Benjamin Rose
However in the current issue he seems to be hedging his encouragement about Trump
Reports are circulating that Trump gave Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu an Inauguration Day deadline to wrap up the IDF wars in Gaza and Lebanon. Others say the deadline only applies to major military offensives, and that the incoming Trump administration has made peace with the idea that Israel will battle on well into its first 100 days and keep control over parts of Gaza and south Lebanon once they are cleared of terrorist infrastructure.
All this remains to be seen. Trump is strong and determined, but Netanyahu is no pushover. He and Israel’s security and intelligence heads should grab every opportunity to make their case. The Biden administration tried to pressure Israel to accept Palestinian Authority rule in Gaza or some combination of Arab forces from moderate Muslim nations. What is Trump’s vision for the future of Gaza?
That’s one reason we need to watch Trump’s pick for secretary of state and pay close attention to his Senate confirmation testimony. What role does Trump envision for Qatar, rumored to be on the way out as a mediator between Israel and Hamas?

Matt Gaetz slammed as ‘vile’ sexual predator by Federalist co-founder, who says senators who vote for AG pick must ‘own that’
“Every Republican in Washington has an opinion about Matt Gaetz, and 99% of those opinions are, ‘Keep Matt Gaetz away from my wife/daughter/friend and anyone I care about,’” he wrote.
“Here’s the real deal: Matt Gaetz is the line for how we assess the Republican Party. If they are truly a cult of personality, beholden to Donald Trump in ways that we could not even imagine for a party that rejects cults and idol worship, they will approve this choice,” Domenech wrote.
RFK Jr., who mused COVID was designed to spare Ashkenazi Jews, tapped to head HHS - Making America Great obviously
Robert F. 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.
