  2. Regarding the kollel cheshek shlomo application where the neighbors were heckled, shouted at and cursed.. This reminds me of the exact same way (and probably even worse) which the neighbors were treated when they attempted to express their concerns to the Board about the huge 4 floor dormitory building which Yeshiva Toras Chaim was proposing in their immediate backyards.

    How sad it is when this behavior comes from these type of people..

    Derech Eretz comes FIRST!

  7. Don't you all see how good Biden is? Israel is going to go as long as they can until America says stop.That happened in every war except 1948 when England said stop. Biden has gone further than any president. The House Republicans rejected the really great, proud to be an American, border bill giving and money to Israel and Ukraine. Commie egocentric Trump rejected it. Now the Senate has a war bill to stop Hamas and Russia (a little bit against China) without border and House Republicans now want border. They are playing with national security and the are going to lose both houses of Congress even if Trump wins. But he won't. And he will be totally ineffective because he will have neither house of Congress.

    By being on the right side of every issue, including America leading in the new electric car industry and in generative artificial intelligence, we are number one by far, and America will remain the strongest country. Trump is so stupid. The encouraging of Russia is not an isolated instance. Trump is a commie-lover despite his belief in free enterprise, which is kind of weird. But to me, commies are the same as fascist, authoritarian, totalitarian. The man is so unpresidential and is going to get his ^%$& kicked even if he wins. Look at the bright side, if Trump wins, there is no way that Democrats won't win in 2028. The Republicans are doomed because they have shown that they are not capable of governing unless they have both houses and the chief magistrate, which is very rare to have all three.

    1. "But to me" democrats "are the same as fascist, authoritarian, totalitarian." Biden shrill, eh? What choice has he? Be tough on Israel, lose the jews who are already wavering from him,& lose the election

  8. I am a democrat and I am not a commie. It is like saying if you are Black, you are on welfare, or it you are Jewish, you love money. People are individuals and the American political parties are election oriented. They do not have ideologies. They are just teams that help each other get elected. If there are commies in the party, that does not define the party, just Jewish bankers or whomever do not define the Jewish race. In Europe the parties are issue oriented, so you can say this or that party is Communist, or the Fascist party in Italy was Fascist. But Republicans are what? The rich, for big business? I don't see those people in MAGA. BTW Biden's extreme support of Israel is hurting his chances more than helping.

    1. If so, very strange it must be then which single issue crowds gravitate to that party. Dominate would be a better term

  9. "Rep Chris Smith was one of 150 Republicans to vote with the democrats to expel George Santos. Now a Democrat took his place."
    Good for him. Santos was a sick prevert who was a disgrace.A parasite for the party.
