- Trump: As the President of the United States, I will stand up to Countries that attack our incredible American Tech Companies. Digital Taxes, Digital Services Legislation, and Digital Markets Regulations are all designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology. They also, outrageously, give a complete pass to China's largest Tech Companies. This must end, and end NOW! With this TRUTH, I put all Countries with Digital Taxes, Legislation, Rules, or Regulations, on notice that unless these discriminatory actions are removed, I, as President of the United States, will impose substantial additional Tariffs on that Country's Exports to the U.S.A., and institute Export restrictions on our Highly Protected Technology and Chips. America, and American Technology Companies, are neither the “piggy bank” nor the “doormat” of the World any longer. Show respect to America and our amazing Tech Companies or, consider the consequences! Thank you for your attention to this matter. DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

    3. LBA is one of the best things that happened in Lakewood in the last 10 years

      Kindly explain yourself. Thank you.

      We would like to understand from you get your values.

      There's plenty of positive in kids playing ball. Most agree on this. Is LBA simply facilitating kids playing ball, or has it morphed into an entirely different commercial enterprise? So, let's discuss it calmly, in it's entirety, without bombastic exclamations.

    4. Ok so boycott it. Theres plenty of stores to go to and still a normal life if you go with this path.

      I don’t see why store owners who made a smart business decision to get their name out should suffer. Why not pressure lba directly. Give the askonim something to actually do.

  2. The Zionists dont put terrorists in tents as its not humane or in compliance with international law but want to do that for our lomdim, bochurim and yungleit for the crime of learning Torah, cant make this up. The Zionists in Tel Avid are in pubs, clubs partying, the Israeli Arabs all 2 million get a blanket exemption but get benefits but the Zionists want to imprison only us. How misguided are the modern orthodox dati leumi that say a bracha for this trefa medina?

  3. This week in Parshas Shoftim it says ומי האיש הירא ורך הלבב
    Chazal Darshan he is fearful of the עבירות in his hand.
    Even for minor עבירות, one gets sent home. The ones who
    go to war don't have any עבירות. Only true צדיקים can
    go out to the battlefield.

    So how is it possible for this same צדיק to come home a
    week later (Parsha כי תצא) with a יפת תואר?

  5. Trump says he'll allow 600,000 Chinese students into the U.S.

    If he has room for this, he certainly has room for the Sefardic Bachurim from Eretz Yisroel.

    1. No it's people like you that Ruin our Children,let them be kids and play some ball and sing a niggun in a Warm Shteeble away from Cold people like you

      Delete
    2. I feel bad for the person who posted this. In my opinion places like Mordy’s shtible are built to fill a void. Commenter here seems to not realize that unfortunately.

    3. "LBA is one of the best things that happened in Lakewood in the last 10 years" Turning whole communities into values of athletic near frei shkotzim is a virtue.
      R SB Cohen was on the mark in his Tisha B'Av speech

    4. I am not 7:53, but reframing the issue as 'playing some ball and singing a niggun' is just sheker, and sheker is dangerous.

      LBA is not about playing ball, and Mordy's shtiebel is not about singing a niggun. We could all play ball in our back yards and sing nigunim anywhere.

      As long as musical Hallel is against Halacha, as paskened in the Mishna Berura, we have no business claiming that it 'fills a void'.

    5. Can you please provide the mareh makom for that?

    6. Indeed,as our frum Billboards and media pound our children and adults with everything material,such Hypocrisy

      Delete
    7. How interesting,all these comments on halacha etc protecting our children from the many evils of a Baseball game and yet everyday thru our sanctioned holy media we are all bombarded with material brainwashing,us that we must have bug steaks big cars hug houses

      Delete
    8. What's Sheker is all the Billboards in our face telling us the importance of a Cowboy Steak, Flashy cars ,fashion homes...

      Delete
    9. So,they're both horrible

      Delete
  8. Yes, let them be kids and play some ball and then celebrate with a MIXED event of milchik pizza with Hebrew national hot dogs, and ding a niggun in a warm Shtieble including music by Hallel, drinking, smoking, some drugs, etc etc
