The Trump “Dayenu”
Trump is unprecedented in the history of the relationship of the United States and Israel, and the president is only two years into his administration.
President Trump, Defender Of Israel, Ignores Naysayers And Does What He Knows Is Right
While I do believe that everything is in God’s hands, I cannot claim to know His thoughts: I do not know why He sent Donald Trump to be our president. And while God has not (yet) told me this explicitly, I am also reasonably certain that the president is not, any more than was Mr. Obama, the Messiah. What I can say, though, is that President Trump is following a Biblical model of leadership.
While Democrats Search for Crumbs, This Too Will Pass Over
It has been Mueller for two years, and it will be Mueller for another two years. It has been Democrats trying for two years to destroy the President, and it will be Democrats trying for another two years to destroy the President. Nothing new under the sun.
The Party of Bias and Bigotry
Without question, one of two individuals — Rep. Ilhan Omar and President Trump — made comments “designed to incite hatred” that are putting “life at risk.” But according to leading Democrats, that person would be the president and not Omar.

Our shul, together with other rabbanim and educators, met with a group of parents vehemently opposed to vaccination, together with their lawyer and doctor. As cogent as some of their arguments were, at times, the bottom line is: We all realized that we cannot support this group under any circumstances. We simply cannot support a group that helps spread disease and endangers the lives of countless others.
Few surprises in Israel election results
Uncannily like America’s 2016 election night, those who believed Leftist polls and the Left media reports are in shock.
As Israel Goes to the Polls Tomorrow
As the only American-style democracy in the Middle East, Israelis are a universe apart from all their border neighbors. And you can bet your farm and life savings that they have built big, beautiful border walls — and they work!
As Israel Goes to the Polls Next Tuesday
Part One — Understanding the Parties and the System. This article does not advocate but seeks to explain to the curious reader how democracy works in Israeli national elections: specifically explaining (i) the contending parties and (ii) the electoral system.
The Democrats Brazenly Know They Have Been Demanding Forbidden Disclosures and Unrealistic Deadlines
The Democrat deceit never seems to end. Now that the Mueller Investigation into the Russia Collusion Hoax has blown up in their faces, they are generating new lies, new hoaxes to revive the momentum they have lost.
