But it primed the public to think in terms of foreign government interference.<br /><br />Then this Ukrainian call fell into the lap of the Democrats. I think it is an impeachable offense what the President did. If he is totally innocent of pressuring the Ukrainians, which is quite possible, or if he is technically innocent of breaking any law even if he did pressure them, which is a possibility, still he gave the impression of using U.S. aid as leverage to damage a political rival through a foreign power. A president has to be above that kind of behavior, especially a President like Donald Trump whose whole Presidency is built on appearances.<br /><br />Live by the TV, die by the TV.<br /><br />But the President's behavior is not the problem, as I said above. The problem is the Democrats. They have operned the door to madness. All the Party holding the U.S. House has to do in the future is make up false allegations against a sitting President, and then patiently wait till the President does something that resembles those allegations. Then they can impeach.<br /><br />The job of President will become a joke. The Congress will be a joke. Nobody wins if President Trump is forcibly removed from office. Nobody wins if he's impeached. I believe that the President will be impeached but will stay in office. Vice President Biden will withdraw from the race. And President Trump will face a socialist in the general election.Joseph Orlowhttp://www.journalinginamerica.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-54645609783565874512019-09-29T14:07:27.756+03:002019-09-29T14:07:27.756+03:00“How Donald Trump...” May I change the subject? ...“How Donald Trump...” May I change the subject? Torah thought on וילך<br />I compare the concluding admonition in בחקתי with וילך. My theory.<br />In בחקתי it was shortly after the sin of the golden calf. God accepted Moses’ prayers and gave Moses the 10 Commandments. God decreed Yom Kippur and the building of the Mishkan. We have the Book of Leviticus. I love the call for repentance immediately after the 49 dreadful curses:<br />“and they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in that they trespassed against Me במעלם אשר מעלו בי, yea, were hostile to Me. When I, in turn, have been hostile to them and have removed them into the land of their enemies, then at last shall their obdurate [others uncircumcised; lit. blocked.] heart humble itself, and they shall atone for their iniquity. Then will I remember וזכרתי My covenant with Jacob; I will remember אזכר also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham; and I will remember אזכר the land. For the land shall be forsaken of them, makingup for its sabbath years by being desolate of them, while they atone for their iniquity; for the abundant reason that they rejected My rules and spurned My laws. Yet, even then, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or spurn them so as to destroy them, annulling להפר My covenant with them: for I the Lord am their God. I will remember וזכרתי in their favor the covenant with the ancients ברית ראשונים, whom I freed from the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God: I, the Lord.” (Leviticus 26:40-45).<br />What do we see in ולך? “He said to them: I am now one hundred and twenty years old, I can no longer be active [lit. come and go.]. Moreover, the Lord has said to me, You shall not go across yonder Jordan.” (Deuteronomy 31:2). God tells Moses: “and the many evils and troubles befall them—then this poem השירה הזאת shall confront them as a witness, since it will never be lost from the mouth of their offspring. For I know what plans they are devising את יצרו אשר הוא עשה even now, before I bring them into the land that I promised on oath אשר נשבעתי.” (Deuteronomy 31:21).<br />The difference is that inבחקתי the Jews had Moses as their leader. In the Midrash if Moses would’ve entered Israel and lead the people there would never be the destruction of the Holy Temple and Exile which twice happened. <br />Hertz Chumash p.890: “as a witness. For God. Whenever the people murmur and ask “Why has all this evil befallen us?” it will vindicate the retributive justice of God. for it shall not be forgotten . A Divine Assurance that, bhe Israel’s misfortunes what they may, Israel will never altogether forget its destiny, and cease to be ‘the people of the book’,”<br />Rosh Hashana is called יום הזכרון<br />פסיקתא זוטרתא (לקח טוב) בראשית פרשת וירא פרק כב<br />אמר ר' כרוספדאי א"ר יוחנן שלשה ספרים נפתחים בר"ה, אחד של צדיקים גמורים ואחד של רשעים גמורים, ואחד של בינונים, צדיקים גמורים נכתבין ונחתמין לאלתר לחיים, של רשעים גמורים נכתבין ונחתמין לאלתר לגיהנם, בינונים תלויים ועומדים מראש השנה ועד יוה"כ, זכו נכתבין לחיים, לא זכו נכתבין למיתה, לפיכך אמר הקדוש ברוך הוא אמרו לפני בר"ה מלכיות זכרונות ושופרות, מלכיות כדי שתמליכוני עליכם, זכרונות כדי שתעלה זכרונכם לפני לטובה, ובמה בשופר<br />Hertz Chumash p. 546 “confess. God desireth not the death of the sinner; and, therefore, every threat of punishment for disobedience is followed by a promise of mercy, if there is repentance and amendment. Divine discipline is for moral ends; and in truth the Exile proved a purifying furnance unto Israel.”<br />See http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/24516 “Politicians – a time to confess”Gerald Aranoffhttp://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=7Y27bY0AAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&view_op=list_works&pagesize=100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-83307973417267624602019-09-29T09:17:21.978+03:002019-09-29T09:17:21.978+03:00Debunked accusations?
