Trump: NO MORE MONEY, HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, TO THE DEMOCRAT SUPPORTED INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR REALLY BAD OBAMACARE. THE MONEY MUST NOW GO DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE, TAKING THE “FAT CAT” INSURANCE COMPANIES OUT OF THE CORRUPT SYSTEM OF HEALTHCARE.

FORTUNE!!! PRESIDENT DJT
-Trump: I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare.

-50 year mortgage proposal
President Trump posted a graphic on Truth Social today comparing FDR (who introduced the 30-year mortgage) to himself with the label “50-Year Mortgage,” signaling a push to extend standard home-loan terms to Make housing more affordable for younger buyers by lowering monthly payments in an era of high home prices and interest rates (currently >6%).
FHFA Director Bill Pulte immediately posted on X: “Thanks to President Trump, we are indeed working on The 50 year Mortgage – a complete game changer.”
It seems that Aakanim are trying to spin the 15,000 votes against Schnall as coming mainly from the senior communities in Lakewood. While it’s true that some seniors voted straight Republican for Thompson, others voted straight Democrat for Schnall, the reality is that the 15,000 votes for Ned Thompson in Lakewood included thousands of frum voters who were expressing their dissatisfaction with Avi Schnall after his first term in office.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I voted for Ned by mistake - I wasn't sure who I was supposed to skip when voting for Avi - I assume others made the same mistake. Look at the the numbers If people were purposely voting for Kean and Thompson - Kean is missing a lot of votes. As Kean was supposedly getting schnall and Thomson voters instead he didnt even get close to Schnall! Answer many schnall voters were mistakenly voting for ned hence the surprising high number for Ned Low number for Kean.
DeleteYCBIL, Next time think before you spew lies and nonsense. You couldn't have voted for both schnall and Thompson as they ran against each other stop trying to spin the facts and make the voters look stupid by not knowing what to do. The olam who voted for Ned knew exactly who they are voting for

Wasn't such a bad mistake.Even losing votes send a message-when they build on it for next round
@10:02 CaIm down you have no idea what you are saying - you were able to choose any 2. Besides I wrote what I did, and what others may have done. It looks like TLS stole my comment too!
DeleteIndeed some chutzpah not to give you credit
DeleteI got a yiddish robo call against "zuchee". What is that ?
ReplyDeleteThe robo call sounds like its a Some shalom bayis organization and for more information email zuchiealert@gmail.con
DeleteSo a woman has the guts to give shalom bayis shiurim to women and someone who doesn't like that makes it his life mission to destroy her. He goes to rabbanim and tells them lies and then gets letters against them.
DeleteThe big controversy is that she tells women that's it's ok for them they should enjoy intimacy.
Zuchee is an organization that teaches chassanim and kallos (as well as Chassan and Kallah teachers) how to live happily together. Some people went running to some (ultra-chassidish Hungarian) Rabbanim and persuaded them that their system was a contradiction to the chenyakishe system and got them to sign against the organization. Many Rabbanim signed on their behalf, testifying how good they are, and this robocall was to announce that the other Rabbanim were fooled, but our Rabbanim were not.
DeleteThe problem is, the antis have a track record of collecting signatures about nonsensical matters, and they were the ones who obtained, and sometimes forged, terrible letters against Rav Shteinman.
Which community does this organization cater to? Chasidim? Satmar? Gur? Yeshivish? Sefardim?
DeleteSounds like a great organization, care to share their contact info?
DeleteA 50-year mortgage is a ridiculous ideas since you don't end up paying much principle for the first 20 or 30 years so you have no equity You're paying a tremendous amount of interest
ReplyDeleteIt makes no sense if you have another option but if it is the make or break it between renting and owning you should grab it.
DeleteIt works because you get your foot in the door and you can do a refi in a couple of years
DeleteAnd you don't have to deal with nasty landlords and management companies
I don't get this.
ReplyDeleteTrump wants to give out money to everybody, and they can use it to pay Insurance companies, instead of giving it to the BAD BAD insurance companies directly.
How will this help anything? Who is the fool who buys this stuff?

ReplyDeleteRabbonim Declaration
Another very serious scandal yet the so-called frum media once again refuses to cover it. A slew of prominent dayanim make a declaration and in response there's organized complete deafening silence from both print and online frum media.
Deleteterrible tragedy
DeleteCan someone fill me on this story?
DeleteA machlokes in Halacha does not belong in newspapers. Reb Nota was a great posek and no talmid of Reb Moshe's thinks that he does not have a right to pasken.
DeleteIf others argued with him, that is how halacha works.
Newspapers and blogs do not belong in the middle of this.
Was not a machlokes in halacha. Rav dovid feinstein who was hands down the undisputed posek of the USA for devarim chamurim. He ruled unequivocally the marriage is forbidden.
DeleteDon't try to rewrite history. Rav Shmuel at that time said all must follow Rav Dovids psak.
DeleteReb Dovid did not believe that Reb Nota was not permitted to disagree with him.
DeleteAnd your attempt to rewrite history through creating a shteller for Reb Dovid that he never accepted is similar to your attempt to rewrite history with an 'unequivocal' psak about the marriage. Nobody can tell you what he paskened, noone can make a clear case. They know that he disagreed with the hetter, but nothing more than that.
Rav Dovid held any child from that marriage would be a ממזר ודאי, but in your warped mind, somehow, at the same time he held maybe they can still get married.
DeleteLove how now they blame Reb Nota. Reb Nota was never matir on his own, he clearly said I only based on the info that I was told by Reb Sholom
DeleteStraight from the horse's mouth:
ReplyDeletehttps://matzav.com/exclusive-letter-from-rav-shalom-kamenetsky-confirms-psak-of-bais-din-led-by-rav-dovid-feinstein/
Pretty obvious rav dovid held the hafkaas kidushin is meaningless, anyone who claims otherwise is deceiving themselves.
