Democrats and Republicans working together to fix something is heresy to Trump.

Border crisis hypocrisy and what’s missing from the immigration debate
Former President Donald Trump warned Republican members of Congress not to give President Joe Biden a political win by passing the bill they had painstakingly negotiated. Trump prefers to campaign against the broken U.S. immigration system. So Republicans agreed to keep it broken for him.
US Supreme Court to hear landmark social media cases

If enforced, the state laws would lead to “absurd results” because they would give scammers, trolls and hateful extremists an excuse to overwhelm websites with censorship allegations, wrote the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a consumer advocacy group.
Russians See Republicans as 'Tools,' Former CIA Director Warns

Brennan added that Russian officials view GOP Congress members as "tools" in their information operations.
"I think that my colleagues are concerned that the Russians see the Republican lawmakers as tools. They are so willing to accept anything, and Russians use information operations very effectively. And I have no doubt at all that they are going to continue to use it in this presidential election.
"And the fact that Comer and Jordan and others willingly accept these things, and they don't care whether it's true or not as long as it's salacious, as long as it's something they can use. This is something that the Russian's recognize is ready for their exploitation," he said.

How to ensure a perfect psak~
Some people think halacha is determined by applying the Torah to facts. The problem is the results sometimes go against what you want
Others always get the results they want by simply making up facts - in other words they provide false information
This reflects a fundamental question - Is halacha determined by what a posek says or what the Torah says?
Actually this post was about people who lie to poskim in order to get the answer they want claiming that once they get a psak that determines the truth.
Is Shoplifting Really Surging?
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/29/briefing/shoplifting-data.html
Videos of extreme but rare crimes can go viral today. On social media, people post videos of looting flash mobs or thieves ramming cars into stores. “There are millions of property crimes a year,” said Jeff Asher of the research firm AH Datalytics. As a result, people can always find outlandish anecdotes, even if crime is down.
Conservative media has promoted these videos as evidence of disorder in liberal cities and under President Biden.

2024 Contest
I guess I am just getting tired of hearing the same nonsense.
Biden is senile but he is the evil puppet master behind Trump indictments
America was a better place to live when Trump was president
Cities are being destroyed by a crime wave caused by Biden's open border principles
Black protesters are burning down a vast number of white businesses.
Progressive district attorneys elected by the evil Nazi Soros are freeing murderers and that is why the streets are not safe!
Their leniency with criminals is why hundreds of business have been forced to close as the result of unchecked shoplifting
The Republicans are the only competent politicians and Russia and Hamas would have not attacked if Trump were president
Finally Biden's incompetence is why America is going through a recession.
-----------------------------------------------
The only problem with these Republican taking points that are mindlessly repeated by frum Jews is that there is actually no evidence they are true
They are typically defended with the comment that everybody knows these things to be self evidently true or my son or cousin living in the US said they are true and that is why everybody is leaving New York for Lakewood or Florida,.
I would like to throw out a public challenge - for someone to actually to present convincing supportive data for these claims. If they can provide convincing data I am willing to vote Republican in November
Trump: ‘Black People Like Me’ Because I ‘Got Indicted’
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-black-people-like-me-because-i-got-indicted?ref=home
Just a few days after comparing himself to a Russian dissident who was poisoned, jailed, and likely killed by the Kremlin, Donald Trump took his delusions of grandeur to a new level on Friday night by suggesting he has special insight into the lives of Black Americans because he, too, has “been discriminated against.”
He went on to claim that “a lot of people” told him “that’s why the Black people like me, ’cause they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against. And they actually viewed me as, I’m being discriminated against, it’s been pretty amazing. But possibly, I don’t know, maybe there’s something there.”
Biden impeachment effort on the brink of collapse
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/23/biden-impeachment-collapse-00142689
“I happen to know there are like 20 Republicans who are not in favor of a Biden impeachment. Mainly because it smells bad what he did, it looks bad, but when you ask them what crime is committed — they can’t tell you,” said Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a vulnerable purple-district incumbent who’d raised doubts about impeaching Mayorkas but eventually backed that effort.

Torah saves
Avos (03:05) WHOEVER TAKES UPON HIMSELF THE YOKE OF THE TORAH, THEY REMOVE FROM HIM THE YOKE OF GOVERNMENT AND THE YOKE OF WORLDLY CONCERNS, AND WHOEVER BREAKS OFF FROM HIMSELF THE YOKE OF THE TORAH, THEY PLACE UPON HIM THE YOKE OF GOVERNMENT AND THE YOKE OF WORLDLY CONCERNS.
Survivors, families of those killed at Nova festival on Oct.7 file suit against AP
A number of survivors of the Hamas October 7 attack on Israel and families of victims of the unprecedented terror assault have filed a lawsuit against the Associated Press, accusing the news agency of being complicit in the Palestinian terror group’s killing spree over four months ago by working with freelance photojournalists they believe were embedded with the thousands of terrorists who overran southern communities.

The seedy underbelly of the life coaching industry
https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20240206-life-coaching-industry-scams
Angela Lauria, 50, discovered life coaching when she was struggling with postnatal depression and had been recently fired from her job. Initially interested in a coaching programme focusing primarily on weight loss, Lauria signed up for a $2,000 (£1,595) retreat. "In the first year alone, I spent $14,000 working with my life coach, and in the years that followed I probably spent $100,000," she says. She also spent thousands of dollars on additional courses and mentorships with other life coaches that her primary coach recommended. "I got sucked into it."
