  2. Again, why is Hefkervelt skewed to the extreme partisan right? Why do they refuse to bring the simple news, that all news outlets, regardless of political bias and affiliation, have called the vote for Biden?

    If the Trump campaign is bringing lawsuits, that is a separate story.

    1. Hefkervelt never claimed to be unbiased. By default hefker means biased. Most who hang out here do so because they enjoy the bias.

  3. "39 new covid cases in Lakewood past 2 days"
    How many of these in the frum community?
    Just giving a number without the relevant breakdown is not good journalism!

    1. As per multiple doctors in Lakewood, this past week has seen an uptick in cases in our community. After little over the previous few weeks.

    2. I've been tracking the numbers daily. 39 over 2 days is about 20/day. Pretty consistent with the trend. We're on the downward curve, but it takes time to get back to zero. Mathematically, within a month, barring interfering variables, we'll be back to zero, but we are not there yet and don't believe anyone who says we are or were recently.
      Also, keep in mind that the data is skewed due to some urgent cares having a weekly data dump in instead of daily reporting procedure. 6/7 days are artificially low, one day is inflated. You need to average out several full weeks to see any trend line.

  7. The fact that most of Lakewood or that most Orthodox Jews voted for Trump means very little on a Practical level . Because 90% of Orthodox Jews live in Blue States like NY NJ California etc....now if you had a Thousand Orthodox Jews living in Pennsylvania Or Georgia voting for Trump than Trump would Be President and you would be living in States with Affordable housing and Lower Taxes..so the Frum.population gas nothing to Gaim by Living in NY and NJ
