Rav Avrohom Schorr on the Petirah of the Kossover rebbe
I am not sure how the Democrats can replace Biden since most states by law require delegates to vote their pledges on the first ballot and Biden already enough votes to win on the first ballot. As for Michelle Obama, my brother had dinner with George W. (nicest guy in world), met with Bill Clinton (he slapped him on the back when he apologized for not having a tie on when he met the president.) and others, but said Michelle Obama was the most fantastic speaker he ever heard. Still, I am weary of another president who never served in public office before. Trump was the first. Wendell Wilkie in 1940 went straight from business to running for president but he lost. Biden is going to have to decide on his own.
ReplyDeleteMichelle O. is a wonderful speaker???? There's 9ne thing she's proud of the USA about. Just one thing - that she was given power. Listen to her say it.
DeleteDo we need a fantastic speaker?
DeleteOr a leader who understands what's at stake, appreciates the gravity of the position, and the ramifications of their decisions?
I don't know Michelle either way, but that's the question to ask.
Agreed. Here is the real story about President Bush. He and my brother and someone who went to Yale with Bush were at a dinner at the same table. The president points to the guy from Yale and says, "This is the dude I cheated off." He was kidding. Bush asked the waiter his name and made friends with him. My brother asked George W. two things. "Did father ever disagree with anything you did as president. You would expect something about the Iraq that everyone says but he says one word, "Rumsfeld." Nobody liked Rumsfeld probably to the present day. Then he asked him about Trump who was president at the time. Bush turned red and said nothing. I don't know about the red part but you knew he didn't like him. About Mrs. Obama, the point was that everyone likes her. She is no Rumsfeld. But until someone is tested in either administrative (including war winning generals) or legislative office, in my opinion, my opinion, they should not be running for president.
DeleteRumsfeld was of the best members of that below avg. cabinet [though better still than either of the successors], but was foolishly turned into the administration's media goat.
DeleteOK. Just repeating what I was told in the name of the president. I really admire Geroge W. following his super achieving Houstonian father and being a spoiled privileged dumb%&* for so many years (like the rest of us back then) and then getting his act together, straightening out his life, taking over the Dallas baseball team, and becoming governor and then president. Governor Ann Richards said that he was born with a silver foot in his mouth, but that is all the more reason why he could have just drank beer all day and hung out on a Texas Gulf coast beach house, or his ranch, or wherever. So yes, he had a leg up, but no, he did not have it all handed to him. He had to take control of his life. I hated his Iraq war, I think he was led on by Rumsfeld and Chaney (Chaney was with Brown and Root (Houston company) that merged with Hallitburton), but I identify with him in being the underachieving oldest kid of an overachieving oil executive. (His father was a wildcatter doing Zapata Oil before entering politics). Anonymous.
DeleteI want to add that my mother loved Barbara Bush. All the moms in Houston started wearing fake jewelry like her because she was such a real person. You would think being coming from upper class Connecticut Yankees they were stuck up but they were exactly the opposite. Everyone in Texas, you did not have to be rich or white, liked be around George W. I hear now, that the whole state hates him because the Bushes represent what they call the old Republican party, that of Reagan, but really it was the Bush party because George senior is the one who built Reagan's party. He was like the only Republican in the state in the 1970s.
DeleteRumsfeld may have gotten too big for his britches, which if so
Deleteis the fault of the prez & State dept who are supposed to balance him out. He was a superb Defense Sec'y.
iirc He was goaded on by the Israel Lobby
ReplyDeleteOne trick pony, yawn
You're getting boring. Can you come up with a new line.
DeleteWhy no coverage of anti giyus hafgana on frum news sites
ReplyDeleteBecause no one cares about Edah.
ReplyDeleteAgudah and Gimel made a deal (much shekalim). Shas can't make a deal they're not reliable.
According to Rav Moshe Sternbuch how was it EVER mutter to join ANY army in the past? The other armies that drafted Yidden for hundreds of years made a LOT less accommodations for frum people than the current Israeli does. And based on what the Chofetz Chaim wrote in Machne Yisroel in perokim like “Arayos” they were horrible places of kefira and taaruvos with plenty of korbonos r'l. Answers of substance only, please. If you are going to froth emotionally about “Zionists” and “shmad” please don’t answer.
ReplyDelete1. They didn't have a choice, they were drafted. The frummer ones tried all they can to get themselves out of the army and were successful to a point
Delete2. These armies were not "melting pots" OTOH they were extremely anti Semitic. There wasn't a danger of mingling with non Jews like there exists in the IDF
3. Women in the army practically didn't exist prior to recent decades. Whatever the CC is referring to by "arayos" can be multiplied by 100 to try to reflect the current situation
this isn't your site. you don't get to choose what kind of answers you get.
Delete: דברי פי חכם חן ושפתות כסיל תבלענו.
DeleteJB, Anyone who thinks it can be remotely argued that the armies in prior times were better than what you can work out with the Israeli army clearly never learned through Machne Yisroel. And probably isn't very familiar with the Israeli army eithet Why didn't any of the Gedolim then saying it is OSSUR to join the army ? The other two answers were what I expected .Enough said....
DeleteThey were bad in kashrus and shmiras shabbos, these aren't things that cause people to go off the derech, quite the opposite they strengthen a person's frumkeit when he tries his best to avoid them
DeleteThe arayos, kalus rosh and co mingling that is prevalent in today's IDF is much נפשו של אדם מחמדתן
Dina d'malchusa applied however unfortunately re:drafting in other foreign countries.Like taxes. Many authorities hold it doesn't carry the same weight re: modern Israel
DeleteShabbos was not the biggest problem in the Russian army. AZ was
DeleteMr. Cohen - you are seriously confused. Nobody believed DIna demalchusa applied to the draft. People resorted to all kinds of chicanery to get out of it.
DeleteHow little people know about their own history is really scary.
Machne Yisroel has an entire perek on kalus rosh. There is no co mingling in the battalions that are meant for frum people. They are completely separated by gender.
Deletewe get it! You read Machane Yisroel. Hurray for you, you read a sefer! let's all give you a round of applause!
Delete6:19 AM
DeleteQED "how little" ..indeed
For your ilk everything is remarkably treated as a binary "If people resorted to all kinds of chicanery," then..
The former Rosh Yeshiva of Ner Yisroel (Rav Kulefsky) was in the US army during WWII even though he could have used chicanery to get out of it. The draft board asked him if he is 100% committed to enter divinity service He answered "no" He could have said "yes" and avoided the draft.
DeleteHumorous doozy how the largest party in France can be dubbed, parroted, or re-pasted in the jewish media as far-right.Huh?
ReplyDelete& Macron's supposed "Centrist" is led by a #^@<~
