FIERY WARNING: Hagaon HaRav Dov Landau Warns New Chareidi Party: “I Will Fight Against You With All The Strength I Have”

 https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2614321/fiery-warning-hagaon-harav-dov-landau-warns-new-chareidi-party-i-will-fight-against-you-with-all-the-strength-i-have.html

HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau, Rosh Yeshivas Slabodka, has issued a blistering letter against the newly established HaTzibur HaChareidi party, warning that he will fight its activities with every resource at his disposal.

The unusually sharp letter, revealed by the Israeli publication L’Chatchila and reported by Kikar HaShabbat, was addressed to a Rav associated with the new party who had recently visited Rav Landau’s home to inquire about his position and subsequently spoke with the Rosh Yeshiva’s son.

In the letter, Rav Landau wrote:

“My son told me what you said, which is great foolishness, if not great wickedness.”

The Rosh Yeshiva then issued an unequivocal warning:

“I will fight against you with all the strength I have and even the strength I do not have, because you are causing great harm to Chareidi Judaism.”

Rav Landau concluded with an exceptionally severe comparison intended to emphasize his opposition to the party’s activities.

“Your actions are like eating forbidden fats on Yom Kippur and eating chametz on Seder night. I wrote this comparison to emphasize the severity of these matters. Retract, retract your actions, and do not cause harm.”

The letter comes just days before Israel’s Knesset elections, amid growing tensions surrounding the emergence of alternative Chareidi political parties challenging the established Chareidi factions

Breaking down Trump’s new ‘drug factories’ claim about Iranian nuclear sites

 https://edition.cnn.com/2026/10/03/politics/trump-drug-factories-claim-iran

President Donald Trump has said a lot of things about the three Iranian nuclear facilities the US attacked last year. Until Thursday night, he had never publicly claimed these facilities were also “drug factories.”

Trump’s comments at a rally in Oklahoma bewildered not only average Americans but also experts on Iran’s nuclear program.

“Wow…That one is new to me,” James Acton, co-director of the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said in a Friday email after CNN sent him a video of Trump’s remarks. “To my knowledge, the Fordow facility, whose destruction Trump is describing, was not being used for drug production and neither had I previously heard any allegation (credible or otherwise) that it was.”

‘I don’t know anything’: Trump UNLOADS on reporter over Ohio attack ad question

Jennings: Ramaswamy’s campaign tactics ‘worst politics you could imagine’

 https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6169950-ramaswamy-campaign-ad-jennings/

Republican commentator Scott Jennings took a swipe at Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy (R) for using a controversial campaign ad featuring his opponent’s estranged mother.

The conservative political commentator told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Friday that the ad is “not good” morally and is a political misstep.

“What you’re talking about here is Amy Acton’s mother is basically saying, ‘I don’t trust 12-year-old Amy Acton, who was quite possibly raped in my own home, to be governor,’” Jennings said. “It’s a ludicrous sort of argument that they’re making.”

“This is probably the worst politics you could imagine, and it’s bringing a lot of attention to Amy Acton’s story, her narrative,” he added.

Vladimir Putin, the Humanitarian

 https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2026/10/congratulations-great-humanitarian-vladimir-putin/689111/

“You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.”— Steve Witkoff, U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, addressing Russian President Vladimir Putin

Mark Wednesday, October 21, 2026, as “the day words lost all meaning.” My dictionary just ran outside and threw itself off a bridge. Noah Webster arose from his grave and lurched around, howling and tearing at his hair. Samuel Johnson is bellowing something awful; I can hear it across the Atlantic Ocean. George Orwell is sighing; he has been here before.

I have to imagine that Putin is a little insulted at being so gravely misunderstood. With this single word, humanitarian, our envoy has revealed a stunning ignorance of the Russian president’s life’s work. This is like going to Picasso and praising him as a “representational painter,” or calling the Sahara “the wettest place in the world,” or describing Witkoff’s statement as “unembarrassing.”

Trump Given ‘Man Of The Century’ Award

 https://www.newsweek.com/trump-given-man-of-the-century-award-12608803

President Trump was given a “Man of the Century” award by a Republican congressional candidate on Thursday during a campaign rally in Iowa.

“And I’m going to hold this up for the artificial media to see. CNN zoom in right here CNN. Because this man has done more for humanity and for America than any other president ever. Thank you Mr. President for being here, thank you for supporting Iowa and thank you for being the greatest president we’ve ever had.”

Demons Utilizing

 Komarno Rebbe (Imrei Kodesh page75) I shall explain the nature of demons according to the true reality of the matter. It is known—based on the teachings of our Master—that there are right-leaning demons and Jewish demons. These entities dwell in the air and act benevolently toward human beings; they are not, in any sense, to be categorized as idolatrous deities. Their mode of operation is as follows: there is an overseer appointed over them who, acting upon the mandate of the herald of the Heavenly Court, issues instructions to his specific group—directing one spirit to go and harm a certain individual, and another to go elsewhere. When a person who has been afflicted by these spirits comes to a a completely righteous individual seeking prayer and a decree for his well-being, the tzaddik blesses the afflicted person and commands that he be healed. Immediately, the overseer intervenes and instructs the spirit in question: "Depart from this person, for such-and-such tzaddik has issued this command." These spirits are highly submissive when it comes to fulfilling the will of a tzaddik—especially before G-d—and They undertake no action—whether trivial or significant—except by the authorization of the Holy Realm and the Heavenly Court. They yearn and long to be privileged to hear the blessings of G-d; they hold those who fear God in high regard and protect them. These demons contain no trace of idolatry whatsoever; they do not present themselves as deities requiring incense offerings or the dedication of precious items. Rather, there are completely righteous individuals  who see them and utilize them. As we said these demons are obedient and profoundly submissive to the Torah and to the righteous individuals who study it. If a righteous person wishes to employ them for a difficult task, it is sometimes necessary force them with an oath . This constitutes the Shimusha Rabba and Shimusha Zuta—practices utilized by the Geonim

1. Shlomo Werdiger, President of Agudath Israel, outs himself as a devotee of the interfaith-cult centered around Binyomin - aka Benjamin - Franklin - via his bizarre endorsement of Gov. Hochul (D)* - using the pretext of her opting in to a educational program that is mainly due to efforts by some prominent Republicans:

* https://matzav.com/agudah-chairman-goes-for-hochul-agudah-chairman-sol-werdiger-backs-governor-kathy-hochul-for-reelection-following-yeshiva-tuition-relief-decision/

This follows on the heels of Avi Schnall doing some pre-election plugging of Hochul on Talkline, using the same pretext.

2.  KJ exploits their girls school to perpetrate public chanifah of Hochul.

3.  This election in NY State will be seen - by those who matter within political class - as a referendum on murder - specifically, Physician-Facilitated Poisoning of the medically vulnerable (aka "Assisted Suicide") - which the NY legislature just passed, and which Gov. Hochul just signed, in this past legislative session.

4.  Regarding the massive, public Chillul HaShem endemic to frum campaigning - see the letter in the post of Parshas Beraishis, below. And see the letter in this week's MonseyMevaser.com on the topic.

5. IDF Female Draft: 

How far can your donation go in saving girls from falling into the Israeli Army? 

In other words, for how little can you save one neshomoh?

A) FACT: For as little as TEN DOLLARS YOU CAN SAVE A TEENAGE GIRL FROM BEING DRAFTED INTO THE EXPLOITIVE ARMY!

FACT: GIRLS LOCATED FURTHER AWAY FROM CHAREIDI CENTERS CAN BE SAVED FOR A MERE 15 DOLLARS.

The cost of saving these neshomos is, in many cases, so low that it's scandalous that we're not seeing far more donations.  Inexcusably, most of the tzibbur is simply being kept in the dark.

Prosecutor drops BAD NEWS on Vivek amid ad scanda

Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" by Haberman, Maggie; Swan, Jonathan

 "Privately, Kirk would tell associates that he was far more worried about what Trump might do than he was letting on in public, but recognized that airing those concerns could only backfire, reducing his ability to influence the President. As the leader of the nation’s preeminent organization for young conservatives, Kirk was constantly in touch with college-aged Republicans and he could see that many of them were turning against Israel. A rift was opening up inside MAGA. While older Republicans still overwhelmingly supported Israel, a sizable cohort of younger MAGA adherents were asking questions at Turning Point events that sounded remarkably similar to the types of questions floating at gatherings of young leftists. These young right-wingers wanted to know why America was supporting Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza, why the U.S. President was seemingly acting at the behest of a tiny client state. In darker corners of the movement—corners that were becoming more visible by the day—many of Trump’s supporters were becoming more brazenly antisemitic and conspiratorial about the role of Netanyahu and “world Jewry.” It wasn’t just the well-known white supremacist internet personality Nick Fuentes but enough other voices to cause rising panic among traditional pro-Israel lawmakers and donors in the Republican Party. Trump, however, was largely oblivious to this war within MAGA. He lived in a bubble, shuttling between his private clubs and the White House, and he was rarely shown anything but good news. He rarely browsed Twitter (now X), as he had in term one. His main inputs were Fox News, which was far more pro-Israel than the MAGA conversation on social media, and whatever snippets of information Natalie Harp printed out and brought him. Trump found Netanyahu exasperating, but the President was, some of his younger aides would say, a “Boomer” whose heart was with Israel. They speculated about whether he even cared so much anymore, knowing he would never have to again face the voters. He had the luxury now of thinking about his legacy. Few in the administration were more worried about the divide over Israel than Kirk’s close ally JD Vance. But as skeptical as the vice president was about Netanyahu, and as anxious as Vance was about a potential crack-up inside the MAGA coalition that could hurt him in 2028, the vice president had to be careful not to alienate Trump by pushing too hard against his instincts. Vance was worried about the U.S. getting pulled into an Israeli regime-change war in Iran—and his allies worked hard to make an anti-interventionist case to the President to counter Iran hawks like the right-wing commentator Mark Levin—but the vice president himself trod lightly. In a Situation Room meeting, he laid down a marker: “If we bomb their nuclear facilities, great. If we get sucked into a longer-term war, this will go down as a massive mistake.” But he became more reticent in front of Trump once it became clear that the President was moving closer to Netanyahu’s view."

'This is beneath contempt': Geraldo Rivera on Ramaswamy ad against Amy Acton

For Israel’s sake, Netanyahu has to go

https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-israels-sake-netanyahu-has-to-go/

He failed us on October 7, and every day since by refusing to answer for it. He clung to power, and now promises the same shameful coalition, with the same divisive and dangerous policies

First and foremost: Israel was traumatized and changed forever by the Hamas massacre, and by the political and military leadership’s still unfathomable failure to see it coming and prevent it. The man on whom principal responsibility falls, the prime minister, is the only central figure who still has not acknowledged that responsibility and stepped aside.

Most national leaders who had failed to prevent the worst catastrophe in their country’s history, despite an abundance of evidence that it was imminent, would have resigned immediately. Especially if they had ignored multiple warnings from their security chiefs in the months before the attack, blocked repeated recommendations to target enemy leaders, championed the funding of the terror-controlled neighboring entity, and shared the tragic mis-assessment that the enemy was deterred.

But no leader whose true priority was the existential well-being of their nation would have obdurately remained in office for three more years, prevented the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into everything that had gone wrong, attempted relentlessly to pin blame on anybody and everybody but himself, and then sought reelection.
