    Not just Israel, but the USA.
    I just heard on a right- wing Video that Osama wanted to kill Obama.
    This was recently declassified.
    They said the reason was because he wanted Biden to take over.
    What damage can Biden do?

    Trump supporters storming the Capitol.
    Iran greatly increasing its uranium production and reducing its nuclear breakout time.
    The longest government shut down in US history.

    crazykanoi, you are seeing the trees and not the forest. All this government “help” is coming from middle-income earners taxes. America is on the path to becoming the second Venezuela by stealing from the people to pay the people…how ingenious….

    And about Trump you are really trying to pin stuff on him that’s has nothing to do with him. Besides for the deficit. But if that’s a point you want to make a out him, the DemoRats are a trillion times worse. 3.5 trillion dollars worse, in fact.

    Supply chain problems – started under Trump
    High inflation -started under Trump
    Terrible labor reports – started under Trump
    Empowered the Taliban and have them all out weapons for free – started under Trump
    Vaccine Mandates – Great!
    Critical Race Theory in schools – Great!
    Alienated western allies- The reverse is true
    Made Israel more vulnerable- not true
    Enabled Iran- Started under Trump

    But hey he doesn’t send mean tweets – Great!

    Now granted just becasue something started under trump is not an excuse to reelect Biden. So while you did list some Great things about Biden if Biden doesn’t turn around the rest soon it’ll be time to replace him in 3 years.

    crazykanoi listed all things that were done by Trump (thus “additional” in every line), except the infrastructure bill that did not pass yet, may be a waste of money, may be coupled with a bigger waste of money, and was somehow not of interest to Dems when Trump was the President.

    Also, could someone clarify re:security – I’ve seen lots of funds going to private school during 2020 relief but my impression was that in 2021 a lot of funds are restricted to public schools. Didn’t look carefully, though.

    first need to define it
    Ill copy paste from wikipedia

    “Critical race theory (CRT is a body of legal scholarship and an academic movement of US civil-rights scholars and activists who seek to critically examine the intersection of race and US law and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice. CRT examines social, cultural, and legal issues primarily as they relate to race and racism in the US. A tenet of CRT is that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals”

    In order to understand the present, it is important to understand the past. Racism was not just a minor hiccup of US history. IT was literally baked into the countries’ founding. (I don’t think any other western country had racist ideas literally written into the constitution like the US did)
    Sure we have come a long long way, but PART of the reason (note: not the entire reason that is what “part” means) such large racial disparities exist is becasue of the way these things were baked in to US fabric bot h explicit and implicit.
    Learning history critically is important, even if it makes people uncomfortable.

    I think there is a large difference between acknowledging the existence of racism and making that the focal point of our historical attention and I think CRT takes it too far. I think your emphasis on ‘part’ is warranted. I also think the vast majority of CRT theorists would disagree.

    But with Biden – he ran out, like a chicken without iit’s head, and caused Military Deaths.

    Not everything on my list is Trump’s fault. I completely agree with that. My point is that so too not everything on the anti-Biden list is Biden’s fault. It is time to move past the asinine and petty remarks that have come to define our political discourse.

    Under Trump crime skyrocketed throughout America but of course, there are other factors out of Trump’s control that must be considered and the same applies to Biden.

    To claim that when Trump negotiates with the Taliban, cuts out the Afghan government, and does not insist on enforcing agreeable benchmarks he is somehow making America stronger but when Biden carries out that agreement he is solely to blame for making America weaker is simply absurd.

    To claim that when Trump publicly states that he has fallen in love with a murderous despot and salutes North Korean officers he is enhancing America’s global standing but when Obama bows to a Saudi Royal he is undermining it is equally ridiculous.

    To scream “Venezuela” when Biden opens the spigots of government largesse but then look the other way or yell “MAGA” when Trump costs the Republicans the Senate by publicly feuding with McConnell and insisting on untargeted $2000 checks for all is pure hypocrisy.

    There is good and bad on both sides. Childish unintelligent comments such as “Anything the Democrats Touch Gets Worse” and ‘This has been obvious for over half a century” should have no place among a tzibur that is supposed to be an “am chacham vnavan”

    We are not Republicans or Democrats, Conservatives or Liberals. We are Yidden. When we invest ourselves so thoroughly in one political camp that we reflexively lash out against the other side as if it is a personal affront or religious obligation to do so we have crossed the line. Republicanism is not our religion.

    Another lie!
    When Biden did the terrible removal of the troops, Trump was interviewed.
    He said the agreement with the Taliban was kept.
    We kept our part and they kept theirs.

    Wikipedia does not have to be leftist. It is a collective product. If you see that something is not correct and you have a source for a correction, rather than just an opinion, you can go and edit it. If the issue is political, then all sides start editing each other and results is unpredictable, but predictably unreliable

    You provided a definition from Wikipedia.
    It doesn’t have any intellectual value, because anybody can post there.

    Here’s a definition from Britannica:
    “Critical race theory (CRT), – intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that racism is inherent in the law and legal institutions of the United States insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans. Critical race theorists are generally dedicated to applying their understanding of the institutional or structural nature of racism to the concrete (if distant) goal of eliminating all race-based and other unjust hierarchies.”

    It doesn’t sound that anybody who believes in this is Playing with a Full Deck of Cards!
    But the DemonCrat position is that this should be taught in all schools.
    Please tell me how this definition is Logical or just based on excuses for Non-white people?!?

    Wow, I can’t believe that frum Jews would support crt. Besides that it’s all about profit for those behind the push to teach this garbage in schools , it divides people and races by saying that whites are inherintly racist. It also places mixed race individuals in akward positions in the way they relate to themselves and their families. Many blacks have come out against crt, they say they are not victims, which is the truth, blacks today can have any job and work in any sector. Systemic racism against blacks is a false narrative.

    As a Jew, I experienced racism from some blacks, how about we make classes to teach about black racism towards Jews. I know there are many of them who don’t like Jews, let’s teach in schools about how blacks are inherintely racist…

    America is going down because of this leftist stupidity. In the end we will all pay because of all of this garbage. But no matter how bad the leftists make the US, they insist on wearing blinders.

    Any intelligent person with the slightest bit of logical reasoning or critical thinking, who has actually done serious research into crt will quickly see an inane amount of logical inconsistencies and holes in the reasoning from beginning to end. It’s unbelievably dumb. Funnily enough, this actually creates a sort of paradox in that according to their beliefs, whites view members of other races as lesser, primarily in areas pertaining to intelligence. After doing some research, it was CRT itself which gave me reason to believe that this (that blacks are less intelligent), might actually be true! Certainly the people who came up with it were. Or maybe they were actually geniuses because they realized that by propagating this manure, they would be able to get away with pretty much anything…

    I’m not just spouting what I heard from other people, I did the research because of all the hype that was going on about it and @ubiquitin, I suggest you do the same. If you’d like I can try and post some of the source material I used, but unless you have an agenda, you should be able to come to these conclusions simply by reading the original source material from the theory’s founders, and they were written years before it was twisted into something way worse by the morons of today.

    “Wow, I can’t believe that frum Jews would support crt. ”

    Its not so surprising we have been teaching the same thing for years. We Just focus on Jewish history.
    For example the average Frum person knows more about the crusades than most Americans. Most American global history books have a few lines about the crusades, with no mention of the JEws. I have a several hundred page book on the crusades “Jews” are mentioned twice (Jews of JErusalem, the Jews of Germany are not mentioned at all.)
    Example #2 : Pretty much all frum Jews have heard of Bohdan Khmelnytsky ym”sh. Almost no Americans have heard of him. He is of course an important figure in Ukrainian history (in fact there are statues glorifying him throughout the Ukraine.
    We of course teach our children “Critical Jewish History”

    Many in the U.S. don;t know American history when it comes to Race relations. Sure slavery is mentioned, and then Lincoln came in on his white horse and everybody sang kumbaya. The fact that you could say “Systemic racism against blacks is a false narrative.” Proves how necessary CRT is

    Ubiquitin, it’s really funny that you think CRT is only about history when it’s about division, the narrative of blacks being victims and forcing them into that mold, and engendering white self-loathing. This is not what we teach in Jewish history classes.

    There is no systemic racism whatsoever. That’s a lie. There was a black president, there are black mayors and governors, blacks do have a problem getting into college and universities based on their skin color, often it’s white and Asian students who are not accepted because of affirmative action.

    Furthermore, you have ignored my comment regarding black racism towards Jews. I have experienced that myself. So why aren’t blacks taught not to hate Jews? Many blacks also hate whites and exhibit racism towards them so why don’t we classify blacks according to their level of racism like they do to whites in CRT classes?

    huju, I have responded earlier but the mods may not want to post it as I’ve described in detail the left-leaning Democrat agenda. If they do post it later then this will be a repeat in different words.

    The left-leaning Democrats are promoting an agenda of immorality through propaganda in the mainstream media, social media and entertainment industry. But worse than that is that they have infiltrated public schools across the US and are brainwashing kids with their perverted material under the guise of education.

    I would hope that you don’t support this and if you takeh don’t then don’t call yourself a “left-leaning Democrat” because this is who they are; total and complete perverts preying on innocent children.
