Why are there few Torah giants today? Rabbi Sternbuch explains
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/275845
Edah Haharedit Rabbinical Court Judge Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch addressed
in his lesson the reason for the small number of great Torah scholars
in our generation, attributing this phenomenon to the absence of
continuous diligence in Torah study.
"I heard from the great Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer that the world is
wondering and asking why it is that our portion has worsened in that
Torah giants don’t emerge from among our ranks as they did from the
students of the Volozhin Yeshiva,” he said in a lesson delivered to
students in Modi'in Illit, according the the haredi website JDN.

Hunter Biden is a nepotistic slouch compared to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner

Opinion: When it comes to using a family connection to rake in the dough, Biden is a sad and sorry slacker compared to the president’s daughter and son-in-law.
Moral equivalence and Donald Trump
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2016/09/10/moral-equivalence-and-donald-trump/
It was Kirkpatrick who in 1985 wrote an essay revered on the right called, “The Myth of Moral Equivalence.
To encourage more conservatives to speak out, I offer a few excerpts from Kirkpatrick’s essay:
“To
destroy a society it is first necessary to delegitimize its basic
institutions so as to detach the identifications and affections of its
citizens from the institutions and authorities of the society marked for
destruction.”
“An
alliance among democracies is based on shared ideals. The process of
delegitimization is, therefore, an absolutely ideal instrument for
undermining an alliance, as well as for undermining a government. The
NATO alliance among democracies simply cannot survive a widespread
conviction among its members that there is no difference between the
superpowers. It is not necessary to demonstrate that the Soviet Union is
flawed, or deplorable. To destroy the alliance, it is only necessary to
deprive the citizens of democratic societies of a sense of shared moral
purpose which underlies common identifications and common efforts.”
Aharon Ramati, suspected cult leader, insists he 'didn't hold anyone by force'

In an interview with Kikar Hashabbat, Ramati discussed both the money laundering charge, as well as the charge that he ran a cult.
"There is a G-d in the world, and He's in charge," Ramati said.
"Every idiot understands that everything happening right now is far from
normal. Now, all of a sudden, they remembered something from five years
ago, when all the others involved have long since been tried."
He added that "it's clear to everyone" that he is being persecuted.

They've got to go': Alan Dershowitz blasts Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/275757
Prominent American jurist and member of President Donald Trump’s
legal defense team Alan Dershowitz excoriated congressional Democratic
leaders on Sunday, saying the top Democrats in the House and Senate
“have to go”.
Speaking on John Catsimatidis’ radio show Sunday, Dershowitz, a
life-long Democrat who joined President Trump’s legal defense team
during the impeachment proceedings, said his party was in need of new
leadership, adding that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY-D) and
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (CA-D) should be replaced.
“I think they need new leadership. I think Schumer and Pelosi have to
go. Schumer because of his history of lying. You know, Pelosi actually
called for me to be disbarred ... because I had persuaded some senators”
said Dershowitz.
