    According to Sukkah 29a, a solar eclipse is a bad omen.

    “You sound like an 8 year old calling the President a vegetable.”

    “I cast my ballot for him as a vote against Mr. Trump.”

    Those remarks prove that you have nothing of value to contribute to this topic.

    “The Democrat Party does not have an organized effort to get non-citizens to vote.”

    Do you really believe that?

    That’s like saying that the vegetable sitting in the Oval Office is a competent President who is doing a good job.

    The answer is obvious. The Democratic party needs their votes to stay in power.

    They’ll try hard to let them vote legally, but even if that fails, they’ll use them somehow to stuff the ballot boxes.

    She’s probably not fit to be a university president, but her resignation doesn’t matter. She’s a figurehead appointed by the put-black-people-in-important-positions racists. She’ll be replaced by someone who has the same attitudes and policies, but is better at being two-faced.

    Chabad has been doing public menorah lighting for a long time, as part of their outreach.

    It’s only in the mainstream media now because the left is using antisemitism to promote their own agenda.

    If you take that approach, then the liberal mob will assert that the transit system is racist and should pay reparations.

    How can anyone ever pass judgement on anything without a fully understanding what the issues are?

    If everyone followed that rule, the mainstream news organizations would be out of business, and 99% of internet content would disappear.

    And I doubt if that Amazon product provides better protection from hot or cold temperatures than an inexpensive insulated container.

    “a container designed for Israeli soldiers”

    There a product like that on Amazon, sold by Masoret. It’s $90, has a high rating but there are only ratings by four people, and only one review.

    Children would be good auto mechanics. They could fit under the car more easily than adults, for doing oil changes, etc. And you wouldn’t have to pay them as much, which would reduce car-related expenses.

    -isn’t that before Torah was written?

    If those dates are accurate, it could precede Hashem’s giving of the Torah to Moses. But I don’t know if the Vedas actually existed then. Even if there’s “proof” they did, that could be part of the stuff Hashem does to test our faith, like dinosaur fossils.

    I practice yoga for the physical benefits (mainly joint mobility). I’m not interested in the philosophical side of it, but I’ve been exposed to a little of it in learning yoga, The oldest documents are apparently the Vedas, which were supposedly written 1500–1200 BCE.

    If they are so sure that Trump is disliked by the masses and doesn’t deserve to be president, why must they find every way to besmirch him and terrorize him into staying away?

    Saying that he’s disliked by the masses is propaganda. It’s a classic example of The Big Lie. They keep repeating it with the hope that people will eventually believe it.

    What are the pros and cons between Waze and Google Maps?

    One advantage of Waze is that it’s more specific about telling you which lane to use, for example when you have to make a left turn, and then a right turn after a short distance.

    Actually they are not affiliated with reform at all, they are Cosmic Jewish whatever that is supposed to mean.

    Thanks, I had been looking at the web site of another congregation that has the same name.

    The web site of the congregation that’s filing the lawsuit doesn’t say “Reform”, but the policies look the same.

    The Democratically controlled Federal Government intentionally caused the high prices and is continuing to make them higher. The only way it will stop is to return control of Congress and the Presidency to the Republican party.

    Once I asked a rabbi a related question, and he replied that there’s nothing wrong with wealth so long as you acknowledge that it comes from Hashem. I guess you could twist that around and say that if you’re wealthy, Hashem must approve of you; otherwise, you wouldn’t be wealthy.

    A shortage in baby formula.

    This is in line with the leftists’ agenda and methodology.

    They hate fossil fuel, so they stop development of pipelines and oil drilling, and make the prices high to discourage people from using fossil fuel.

    They want unrestricted abortion-on-demand, so they create a baby formula shortage to make babies impractical so that people will be motivated to kill them.

    There have been plenty of totalitarian regimes that actively tried to limit free speech that are/were not Communist, the Third Reich for example…they actively persecuted Communists,

    So the Democratic Party is like the nazis, rather than the communists?

    The Biden Administration is not one and the same as the Democratic Party.

    And it’s only a coincidence that Biden was their candidate?

    Guess it doesn’t serve as the public town square in my town.

    I don’t have a Twitter account. Once in a while I’ll read a “tweet” that’s referenced in a news article.

    The issue is whether Twitter has a significant effect on national/state/local elections or governmental decision making, directly or indirectly.

    With Elon closing in on acquiring all of twitter, how will Democrats deal with losing their biggest and most powerful propaganda weapon?

    They’ll attempt to “cancel” Twitter. The leftist media will ignore it, ridicule anyone who uses it, and use all their influence to get people to use a different place for expressing their deranged viewpoints.

    Which political party uses the term “peaceful protest” to describe rioting, looting, burning and other mob violence?

    Which political party lets violent criminals out of prison because cash bail is “unfair” to poor people?

    Which political party supports “defunding” the police?

    Which political party considers it racist if the proportion of black people arrested is greater than the number of white people arrested, even though black people commit far more crimes of violence than white people?
