Forcing wife beater to divorce wife

 

Binyamin Ze’ev (88). Concerning a husband who regularly beats his wife and she cries and groans from the abuse. How can the matter be corrected? You ask me my dear friend that since he doesn’t listen to the local rabbis whether the halacha is that he can be forced to divorce her if it can be shown that he is the instigator and not his wife? I found in the name of Rabbeinu Simcha who said in a similar case to force the husband to give a divorce since a woman marries for life not for suffering and every time he hits her he is committing a sin which is worse than if he was beating another man.  But it is best to make peace between the husband and wife by placing two or three people to mediate with them and ensure they keep their commitments to each other. If this doesn’t stop his abuse then it is agreed that the court will utilize non-Jews to force him to divorce her and tell him he must do as the Jews have said. Otherwise there is a problem that this will be an invalid divorce (get me’usa). Rabbeinu Simcha writes if nothing stops his abuse he is forced to divorce even through the use of non-Jews because in such a case the forcing is valid even though our Sages (Gitten) say that normally the use of non-Jews would make it invalid. But if they say “do as the Jewish judges have said” as we see from the Semag (50). Nevertheless the husband needs to say at the end of being forced that he is really doing it from his own free will. We can rely on this ruling of Rabbeinu Simchah to force the husband to divorce. .

Netanyahu’s Coalition Government Collapses After Budget Bill Failure – Triggering Israel’s 4th Election in 2 Years

 https://time.com/5924341/israel-netanyahu-government-collapses/

Israel’s brittle governing coalition collapsed after just seven months, sending the election-fatigued country to its fourth vote in two years.

The campaign will feature a new challenger who might win enough support to dethrone the long-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, polls suggest. The ballot is to take place on March 23 after parliament failed to approve a national budget for the second year in a row.

The grudging alliance between Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz had been formed expressly to avoid another vote after three inconclusive matchups, and to combine forces to contain the coronavirus outbreak. A fourth race, after long months of policy paralysis, will be especially bruising as the virus defies efforts to tame it, talk of a third national lockdown is percolating, and unemployment is a steep 15%.

Orthodox leaders back calls for mass vaccination

 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/293523

 At the beginning of his weekly video Torah lesson, Rabbi Asher Weiss let his viewers know he was about to broach a contentious topic.

“I know that not everybody will like what I say,” said Weiss, a leading Orthodox Jewish legal authority in Israel with a large following in the United States, peppering Hebrew terms into his speech. “But if I won’t speak my mind I think it would be a sin.”

The sensitive subject of his lesson?

The COVID-19 vaccine. After an hourlong class packed with rabbinic sources, Weiss gave his verdict: “When we deal with the question [of whether] to take the vaccine: Yes. Definitely yes.

Barr says he has 'no plan' to appoint election, Hunter Biden special counsels


 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/barr-no-special-counsel-election-hunter-biden

Attorney General William Barr on Monday said he has "no plan" to appoint a special counsel to take over the federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s "tax affairs," or one to probe allegations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. 

 "I think to the extent that there's an investigation, I think that it's being handled responsibly and professionally," Barr said Monday about the investigation into Hunter Biden. "To this point I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave."

 

How voters rank Trump a historically bad president

 https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/20/politics/trump-presidency-history-analysis/index.html

 A new Fox News poll finds that 42% of voters say history will remember President Donald Trump as one of the worst presidents ever.

An additional 8% say he will be remembered as below average, while 22% say one of the greatest, 16% say above average and 10% say below average.

Inside Trump’s pressure campaign to overturn the election

 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/21/trump-pressure-campaign-overturn-election-449486

 Trump’s efforts to cling to power are unprecedented in American history. While political parties have fought over the results of presidential elections before, no incumbent president has ever made such expansive and individualized pleas to the officials who oversee certification of the election results. Trump even used his presidential perch to compel officials to talk with him, summoning state officials to the White House on a few-hours notice and insisting that his outreach was simply part of his presidential duties.

 “There was always this feeling of supreme confidence that no matter how it looks it’s all going to work out for him, something will happen and it will all work out for him because it did once before,” said Scott Jennings, who worked in the George W. Bush White House and is close to Trump’s team. “I think that sort of magical confidence or magical thinking, persisted right through Election Day and right through this post-election.”

Trump's bizarre defense of Russian hacks becomes dangerous - comment

 https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/trumps-bizarre-defense-of-russian-hacks-becomes-dangerous-comment-652730

 US President Donald Trump’s statement on Saturday contradicting all his cyber and law enforcement agencies, as well as his loyal Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, about Russia’s massive cyberattack on the US, has probably crossed into dangerous territory.

That danger is that the Trump is refusing to name the country that has escalated cyber war against America to unprecedented proportions.

 A Virginia man authorities describe as a "White supremacist" and "an advocate for pedophilia" is facing charges in California and Colorado for traveling across the country to kidnap a 12-year-old girl, officials said Saturday.

Nathan Daniel Larson, 40, is in Denver County Jail on a misdemeanor charge and faces felony charges in California for the kidnapping that authorities say utilized such "sophisticated" grooming methods that they fear there may be more victims.

 https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/legal-experts-explain-defamation-lawsuit-threat-made-by-dominion-voting-systems-against-sidney-powell/

 Conservative attorney Sidney Powell and her legal team have been spreading a series of false statements and bizarre accusations against elections systems vendors via court filings and during various media appearances in service of their failed Kraken lawsuits. While privileges afforded to lawyers in most states suggest Powell doesn’t have much to worry about regarding her pleadings, her out-of-court appearances could be another question entirely.

Trump's talk of martial law sends White House staffers rushing to the press

 https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/20/media/stelter-trump-martial-law/index.html

 Trump dismissed reports of the martial law discussion as 'fake news' in a tweet Sunday, but two people familiar with the matter told CNN that the the plan was argued in the Oval Office Friday -- although it remains unclear if Trump endorsed the idea.

 It's a concept she calls "acceleration," in which violent extremist groups, especially White supremacists, try to overthrow the United States government. These groups believe that will take place through a civil war and look to "accelerate the chaos, accelerate the coming of the civil war."

Today, when we have reached the pinnacles of success in the secular world, the hashkafic distinctions that once defined us are no longer real.

Trump responds to Bolton's 'incompetence' claim, hints he could reveal 'stupid stories' about former adviser


 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-bolton-election-martial-law-michael-flynn

 Bolton called Trump "unfit for the job" during an appearance on CNN on Saturday night.

"There's a theory out there, I know, that Trump is getting worse as Jan. 20 approaches," Bolton said. "No, he's not. It's the same behavior repeated over and over again. Let's take the idea of putting military capabilities into the swing states and running the election again. Look, there's a difference between incompetence and malevolence. In Trump's case, this is incompetence

President Trump hit back after former national security adviser John Bolton blasted him for "incompetence" amid reports that Trump discussed invoking martial law with another former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.

"Martial law = Fake News. Just more knowingly bad reporting!" Trump tweeted in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Rep.

Smith said the reports that Trump entertained Flynn's theories about invoking marital law were "unbelievably disturbing."
"He is talking about basically leading a coup against the United States government and destroying our Constitution," Smith told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" Saturday night. "There needs to be strong bipartisan pushback against this. It is an unbelievably dangerous thing for the President to be talking about."

 

“You Can’t Reason With Him at All”: Trump Spends Final Days Plotting Revenge Against His Enemies and Pardons for Everyone Else

 https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/12/trump-spends-final-days-plotting-revenge

At the nadir of his 1990 debt crisis, Donald Trump bunkered himself inside Trump Tower for days on end, subsisting on a steady diet of hamburgers and French fries. As his real estate empire was collapsing, and his first marriage unraveling, Trump simply refused to accept the reality that his life was in a tailspin. “Do people really think I am in trouble?” Trump asked Vanity Fair’s Marie Brenner at the time, to which she replied, “Yes, they think you’re finished.” One of Trump’s lawyers, meanwhile, told Brenner, “Donald is a believer in the big-lie theory. If you say something again and again, people will believe you.”

Sweden’s king says country’s coronavirus strategy has failed

 Sweden’s king has admitted that the Scandinavian country has failed with its coronavirus strategy, which has left it with a far higher death toll from the pandemic than its Nordic neighbours. Carl XVI Gustaf told Swedes in his annual Christmas address that the country had suffered “enormously in difficult conditions” and that it was “traumatic” that many relatives of the almost 8,000 people to die with Covid-19 had not been able to say goodbye to them. “I think we have failed. We have a large number who have died and that is terrible. It is something we all have to suffer with,” the king added, in comments released on Thursday and due to be broadcast in full on Monday.

Heated Oval Office meeting included talk of special counsel, martial law as Trump advisers clash

 https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/19/politics/trump-oval-office-meeting-special-counsel-martial-law/index.html

 President Donald Trump convened a heated meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, including lawyer Sidney Powell and her client, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, two people familiar with the matter said, describing a session that began as an impromptu gathering but devolved and eventually broke out into screaming matches at certain points as some of Trump's aides pushed back on Powell and Flynn's more outrageous suggestions about overturning the election.

Flynn had suggested earlier this week that Trump could invoke martial law as part of his efforts to overturn the election that he lost to President-elect Joe Biden -- an idea that arose again during the meeting in the Oval Office, one of the people said. It wasn't clear whether Trump endorsed the idea, but others in the room forcefully pushed back and shot it down.

Trump downplays cyberattack on U.S., breaks with Pompeo on Russia's role

 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/19/pompeo-russia-behind-cyberhack-of-us-agencies-448625

 President Donald Trump on Saturday publicly broke with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over Russia's involvement in a massive cyberattack on the U.S. government.

Trump, in his first public comment since reports of the wide-scale breach surfaced last week, downplayed the attack in a series of tweets, suggesting without evidence that China may have been responsible and hacks on U.S. voting systems might have occurred as well.

Trump raised $200m from false election claims. What happens to the money now?

 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/dec/19/trump-raised-200m-from-false-election-claims-what-happens-to-the-money-now

 The battle is lost. The supreme court and electoral college have spoken. Even the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, so adept at remaking the rules for political advantage, has acknowledged that Donald Trump will not be the next president.

But the money flowing into Trump’s political coffers suggests that defeat will not drive the soon-to-be-former president into the political shadows.

Trump has been on a fundraising drive since the election, rapidly bringing in an astonishing $200m or more on the back of his false claims that the vote was rigged.

His campaign bombarded supporters with emails and text messages – as many as 30 a day – pleading for donations to a fighting fund to challenge the result. But with the election settled, that is not where the money is going.

Trump will leave office with a historically bad economic record

 https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/13/politics/trump-economy-record/index.html

 "Trump's economic record ranks near or at the bottom compared with other presidents," concludes Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi, who compared the economic results of all presidents from the last 70 years. "The economy under his watch has performed very poorly."

To be sure, the deadliest public health pandemic in a century has devastated economic activity during this last year of the President's term. But responding to unexpected catastrophe -- from hurricanes to terrorist attacks to civil unrest to financial crises -- represents a big part of the job. And, as Zandi notes, Trump's bungled coronavirus response has exacerbated and extended damage to jobs and output.

Trump fights for a job that he's not doing as coronavirus rages

 https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/18/politics/donald-trump-absent-covid-stimulus-vaccine/index.html

 When the history of the pandemic is written, one of the great mysteries will be what President Donald Trump was doing in the waning days of his presidency as the number of Covid-19 deaths in the US soared past 3,000 each day, the virus spread unchecked and Congress dithered over the details of an emergency relief package that could be the difference between people being able to eat and being forced to sleep on the streets this holiday season.

Trump ran for president pretending he was the consummate dealmaker, the chief executive who could make things happen with a snap of his fingers. He will go down in history as a president who worsened the grief and tragedy of the most consequential pandemic in 100 years by being contemptuous of masks and the safety precautions designed by his own administration -- a man incapable of empathy, who chose to remain cocooned in his White House bubble at a time when leadership would have mattered.
For weeks now, Trump has spent most of his time plotting how to nullify the results of President-elect Joe Biden's November victory as he has fleeced his supporters to pay for a string of ill-conceived lawsuits that were tossed out of court by some of his own judicial appointees. When those efforts failed, he began looking ahead to January 6 when a joint session of Congress meets to formally count the Electoral College results -- seeing another opportunity to try and thwart the democratic process.

DeSantis has consistently downplayed the severity of the pandemic, following President Donald Trump's lead in denouncing mask mandates and restrictions on businesses. The governor has blocked local governments from enforcing their own measures to protect residents from coronavirus, and sidelined health experts even as he promoted questionable science, according to CNN interviews with more than a dozen Florida officials and experts.

Educational Indoctrination Bill A4454/ S2781 scheduled for TODAY

 BS"D 


Mi LaShem Alei: Gezairos Al-HaDas Poised to Strike NJ Today:

2 Teves, 5781/ Dec. 17, '20

by Rabbi Noson Shmuel Leiter, Executive Director, Help Rescue Our Children

A.)  Help is urgently needed TODAY to stop NJ's pro-LGBT Educational indoctrination bill A4454/ S2781 https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2020/Bills/A4500/4454_R1.HTM. (For more information and perspective: http://daattorah.blogspot.com/2020/12/zos-chanukah-gezairas-hachinuch-battle.html.)  This bill is scheduled for a full Senate vote today, the Seventh Day of Chanukah, starting about noon, along with many other bills, some quite egregious.

Calibrated Timing:

Out of their traditional deference to the principles of Representational Government, NJ's Democratic leadership has once again opted to schedule radical, subversive legislation on impossibly short notice. Thereby, they signal their recognition of the fundamental opposition of an informed citizenry to their social engineering. Their implicit recognition thereof should encourage all proponents of decency that - even at this late stage of societal decomposition - we possess tremendous power at our fingertips - the power of publicizing the Truth - with which all the political power in the world can ultimately never successfully compete.

The Assembly version of this exploitive legislation is A4454 (attached).  Unfortunately, Passaic Assemblyman Gary Schaer recently voted for it, on Oct. 29. That early version targeted high schools, only. The newer, Senate version, S2781 (https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2020/Bills/A4500/4454_R2.HTM), scheduled for a full Senate vote today,* extends the indoctrination requirement to begin as early as Kindergarten, R"L. Yes, Kindergarteners.

(*For that reason, if R"L it passes the Senate, we expect another vote in the Assembly, possibly later in the afternoon today, on the newer version.)

ACTION NEEDED:

Gary Schaer could work to kill the bill - today. He must be inundated with demands that he do so. We cannot take no for an answer. His public Chillul HaShem seems to have no bounds, even when it comes to the educational debauchery - even psychological molestation - of innocent Kindergarteners.

Please contact Assemblyman Gary Schaer here ASAP this morning, or as soon as possible thereafter: 

973-249-3665 


Remember, the Assembly probably won't get to vote on this until later in the day, or evening, in case someone is unable to call earlier.

The other two legislative reps of Passaic are:

Sen. Paul Sarlo: 201.804.8118

Assemblyman Clinton Calabrese: (201) 943-0615

If the other local reps do vote for it, R"L, that would be an indicator that Schaer didn't do his job in getting them to back off.

or email: LegInfo@NJLeg.org 
°°°°°

The legislators need to realize that we cannot vote for them if they opt to betray their constitutional obligation to protect our most precious resource, children. Also realize that this type of legislation can be unapologetically opposed on grounds well beyond religious ones. For example, antireligious indoctrination isn't just an infringement against religious liberty, it's an extension far beyond the educational mandate of government.  The pervasive misrepresentation of indoctrination as "Education" doesn't alleviate that objection, it only validates and intensifies it.
___________

Additional egregious pro-LGBT legislation scheduled for today includes [but is probably not limited to] these:

B.)  S2545: The homosexualisation and transgenderisation of the Long-Term Healthcare Industry.

This bill is simply too horrific for any brief description to do justice to it, so please read it for yourself, p. 3-6.  This LGBT "Equality" legislation will definitely lead to the forcible sexual assault of residents by deviants. If anyone willingly allows this bill to pass, he's facilitating rape.

Another thing is clear: if this passes, R"L, religious people will be not only unable to own and operate long term healthcare facilities in NJ - we won't be able to even USE them for our loved ones in their time of need. Caring for them independently may often be so much more difficult than we've been accustomed to. A small consolation here is that the Assembly hasn't voted on this yet Hellenistic bill. Therefore, if it R"L passes the Senate today, the Assembly will presumably take it up only after January 1, '21.

Another intriguing observation here is that Yechiel Kalish (who recently lost his bid to hold onto his seat in the Illinois Legislature) had voted for pro-LGBT legislation, specifically HB246, similarly applying to schools. He also has had a close working relationship with the Orthodox Nursing Home industry. For some reason, he was tapped to moderate a forum at the recent Aguda Convention. He posed two questions regarding LGBT, clearly seeking some measure of dispensation for leniency in dealing with the LGBT threat to religious Jewry (which he realizes is formidable). B"H, he failed to obtain any "heterim."  However, his first question pertained to supporting LGBT propaganda for kids in schools, and the second question pertained to the challenges faced by the gaying of the Nursing Home Industry. It's fascinating how timely those questions are relative to the legislation coming up today in NJ.  Was there a hidden agenda afoot?

C.) S3078: State-mandated LGBT in the Workplace
