-Article in Yated "We have been hijacked":  consumerism in our communities is so powerful that if you would ask a child or a teen in today’s world what Chanukah is all about, he could not be blamed if he answered that it was all about gourmet donuts and meat boards! ...There is something deeper, pervasive and scary going on. What we are seeing is the legitimization of a lifestyle that is the antithesis of everything for which a Torah Yid stands.  These displays of unfettered pursuits of gashmiyus at a level of “sophistication” that would have been simply unheard of or even unthought of as recently as ten years ago, or even five years ago, are the new normal. A teen today doesn’t even think of it is a “new” normal. It is just normal. Do we realize where we are? Where we are going? Ads for “encrusted” and “infused” cuts of meat and steaks that cost $40 and $50 a pound are in our publications. We are putting the Yevonim to shame. I am almost certain that even Antiochus couldn’t get his hands on a charcuterie that any bochur
can get if he knows the right party to crash. Why are we not equally ekeled, or disgusted, by that shameless show of indulgence as we would be disgusted by, and would rightfully protest, reprehensible images? read more at Yated

  1. People warned us that a vote for Biden is a vote for the 'radical left' who wants to defund the police.
    Now that it has been made clear that Biden was not a member of that radical left, have we learned our lesson? Have we figured out that the Right is cynically using us with lies and misrepresentation?

    1. Its a vote for the radical left because they plan on removing Biden and installing Kamala.
      This is why the Dems are allowing the Hunter Biden stuff to come out now. They will use it to impeach and remove Biden (or convince him to retire early back to his basement).

    2. How are the Dems 'allowing' stuff to come out about Hunter? Where did it come out? It isn't being reported anywhere that it wasn't reported when they first made up the story.
