    This type of war will only stop when Iran decides to stop, as long as Iran has funds it will continue wage war via it’s proxy’s. By hitting their oil pipeline especially at their port’s where they transfer the oil to ships will greatly hinder their ability to sell their oil which is the main funding source. At the same time Iran’s nuclear stockpile needs to be destroyed. Israel knows where they are and by using bunker busting bombs should be able to destroy both the stockpiles and their nuclear research labs.

    The way to defeat Hamas is by taking over the tunnels which can be done by using EMP bombs which will fry the electronics in the tunnel without hurt humans. Once the electronics are eliminated the IDF can easily take over the tunnel network. Hamas terrorist and kidnap victims are probably down there also. So this is the easiest way to eliminate Hamas.

    I doubt Bibi is going to be blamed since unlike previous PM the army and the intelligence were calling for his resignation. Also having a unity government lets him blame his opponents if the war goes bad.

    I don’t know if this is true, but if it is I think the Religious parties should ban together to decertify the hospital. Also I think Shas is in charge of Health Portfolio so it shouldn’t be hard to do especially after the doctor’s one day strike protesting the current governments judicial overhaul.

    The Keenest has the power to lower the budget and here are a few example when they did. When Lapid’s Party was in charge weren’t there cut’s in the aid to Haredi families and to yeshivas. Were these not cuts to their budget. Likewise, wasn’t the Arab sector promised Billion of Shekels in aid in order to get them to be part of the government and when Likud came in power the Arab sector’s budget was cut. So it does happen. The Supreme Court did not put a stay on the judicial overhaul law just agreed to hear the case. Another thing the government can due is make a law that the Supreme Court must reflect the population of Israel. So if the Haredis make up 20% of the population then 20% of the Supreme Court should be Haredi. Thereby diluting the power of the leftist.

    If they really wanted to curb the judiciary they would let the supreme court override the new law curbing the judiciary’s power and then cut the court’s budget by 10% for the following year. That is one thing the court can’t override. I think it may take a year or two before they play nice.

    This will only increase the cost for the consumer. While they maybe able to control what is sold in local stores these items can easily be bought on the internet from out of state. This is going to be difficult to enforce because the meat processing plants buy the pigs from farmers who may not be in compliance.

    The difference is choice. The boycott is just finding another source for bread and baked goods, while electricity, the choice is either use it or not on Shabbos. Most Jews can’t not survive without electricity for 24 hours or longer nor afford private generators for Shabbos. Also a lot has changed in the last 60 years as to how electricity is generated and who works on Shabbos ie. non Jews in order to avoid desecrating the Shabbos.

    I have 6 children 4 daughters 2 sons all of them happily married with children of their own. One of my daughters didn’t get married until her mid30s so I am aware of the ” I am never going to be married crisis”.
    My solution is to get involved with shidduch groups and subscribe to a database, this way you will get a listing of resumes of available boys. Get a friend or relative to act as the shaddchun and call up their shaddchan. This way you will get your daughter dates with boys who are at least trying to get married as opposed to trying to convince a boy who thinks he is to young to get married to start dating. Writing letters to YWN and waiting by the phone isn’t the solution.

    I live in NYC which is above the Mason Dixon Line while you live below the Mason Dixon line. Most Jews and I think most Americans came to the US after the civil war, Most slave owners were rich and most of them lost all their wealth by the end of the war and moved. If they were bto claim thrir ancestor were slave owners it would be difficult to prove, And they would open themselves up to lawsuits from the heirs of slaves. With art work that was stolen by the Nazis where the art work is entact and their are records of ownership in most cases the heirs don’t win so why do you think slave owner’s heirs will get anything when blacks haven’t got anything and they have a movement to get it for years.

    Who would want to publicize that their ancestor’s owned slaves. Even if they could do they have proof as most records were probably destroyed during the war or in the over 160 years since the end of the civil war. It’s not like the WWII that ended just 77 years ago and there are still people that lived through it
    Most people are children of emigrants who came after the civil war and even the ones who lived in the south very few were rich enough to afford slaves and probaly died out.

    Forget about mass transit. If workers don’t come back to the office cities are going to lose a lot in taxes both from real estate taxes and income taxes. If tenant are not using office buildings they are not paying rent and the landlord can’t pay the real estate taxes. Likewise the workers don’t have to come to the office they can live in a less taxing area resulting in a loss of income tax revenue to the city.Also it will have a rippling effect on the local economy as these workers will not be spending money for things like lunch and shopping in the city

    Now Biden is claiming the 2022 midterm election which haven’t even taken place are illegitimate. Getting to sound a lot like Trump. The Democrat’s problem with Sinema & Manchim is that if they anger either one of them they can switch parties and change which party runs the Senate. Both of them are from states which Republican voters out number Democtrats so if they run a primary opponent the only thing that will happen is the Republican candidate will win.

    The excess electric that you generate during the day goes to the electric company who must buy it at it’s sale price. Your account is then credited for that amount and at night when your system is not generating you are buying back electricity against the credit balance. The only way to store electricity is with batteries. Most solar systems do not have batteries so if there is a blackout at night you will have no power until the sun comes up. The electricical grid in which the solar system is generating the electricity is just wire not a battery and so over a short time it loses power of this electricity. Solar energy not sold quickly is a total lose for the electric company which must be made up by charging higher prices for electricity. The only solution I see is for the electric company to pay a lower rate for solar power and or not buy all the excess solar energy.
    Wind farms and Hydroelectric are not generated by individual and likewise the electric companies are not forced to buy thier excess electricity. They also generate electricity 24 hours a day

    The big problem with electric cars is their high purchase price which can be offset by government subsidies and lower costs for fuel and maintenance. The drawbacks are there is a limit to the amount of funds that can be used for subsidies and a limit in the amount of electricity available.
    Solar energy has been recommended as a solution. The problem is that electricity cannot be stored unless you have batteries, so electricity not used is lost. Most electricity generated by solar is not stored in batteries. For example, while nationally solar energy accounts for 2% of electricity generated. In California it accounts for over 13%. This means when the sun goes down there is 26% less electricity generated. The problem is what happens if there is a heat wave and there is a great demand, rolling blackouts.
    Another problem with solar energy is the government forces the electric company to buy back excess electricity at their sale price resulting in a loss for the electric company. The electric company with the approval of the state then increases the purchase price for the electricity for rate payers who are usually earn a lower income. In this case the poor are subsidizing the rich.
    A better solution if you want to use renewable energy is either wind farms or hydroelectricity to generate more electricity needed to fuel electric cars.

    I am not sure what you mean. There is a lot of work that needs to be done both in generating electricity and getting chargers avalible for the public. This is besides making it as easy or easier than driving with gas.
    The major problem that I have is that the government is going to force people to buy electric cars because they are the only one available but they are diffucult to refuel. Part of the owning a car is the freedom to go and explore the open road.
    The problem is that people wouldn’t switch to electric unless there is enough electricity to fuel their cars. But the electric companies wouldn’t build power generating plants unless they see a demand.
    The plants that are built are just replacing the coal and nuclear plants that are being phased out
    That is the problem.

    Counties assess and collect real estate taxes while states collect income tax. I never said the state collects real estate taxes. Municipalities don’t collect taxes rather they submit their budgets to the county who then assesses and collects the taxes and gives it to them. NYC is an exception since it’s comprised of 5 counties it assesses but farms out the collection function to an outside contractor.
    What I think is happening is the Infrastructure Bill which recently past, allocates funding for charging stations. This funding was suppose to go to public charges so that car owners can rapidly recharge their cars. What is happening is rather then build chargers that can be used by the public it is being used for the wealthy few.
    These chargers are meant to fully recharge the battery in less than an hour, 24 hours a day and for a private residence will be used maybe 30 minutes a day. Even in an office parking lot unless cars are rotated you would be better off with a 240v (which is usually used for heavy duty air conditioners) outlet and a charger ( which is an electric cord with an adapter to charge the car). This is because most of the time the battery is over 75% charged, so only an hour or two is needed to fully charge the battery even at this slower rate.
    The contracter can more easily install 4 rapid charges in one location then installing in 4 different public parking lots. The more rapid charges that are installed on private property the mean fewer charges that are availiable for the general public use. So either more chargers are need which means the contracters make more money. The only one who is losing is the taxpayers.
    This is just another example of government’s poor planning, Besides not having enough electricity to meet the needs of the riding public, there wouldn’t be enough public rapid chargers to meet the demand either. So who is going to buy electric cars?
    This is a great deal for CTL and others like him who generate excess electricity but the vast majority of those having solar panel don’t generate enough to cover their current usage.
    Unlike gas where you can just drive up and get serviced at any gas station with electric you need to reserve a time slot which is done by an app on your phone. This may result in your charging in an empty poorly lit public parking lot at midnight. Likewise, you have to plan your car trip recharging every 150-175 miles and estimating time it when you are going to reach the charging station.

    What I think CTL means is that he either gets a tax rebate either on his income tax or his real estate tax.There is no free lunch somebody is paying usually the tax payer. Which results in people saying the rich don’t pay their fair share. If these charging stations are paid with public funds they may have to be open to the public. Some of the public charging stations are in dealership’s parking lot and avalible even when they are closed. Creating security problems for both the driver and the dealership.
    Do electric car drivers pay highway fuel tax or are they just freloaders ? Or is that going to be tacked onto everybody’s electric bill .
    The reason they are giving rebates is because Ctl added a rapid chargers he improved his home allowing the state to increase his real estate tax permanently.The state makes their money back in a few years and the increase stays. The rapid chargers, 480 volts or higher will probably draw electricity from the electric company because it’s drawing the electricity too quickly which can short out the electrical system. Over a month he will have paid back any electricity used from the electric company as long as he hasn’t damaged the connection measuring electricity flowing into the electric company’s wires from his solar panels.

    Over 80% of the electric currently generated in the US is through coal, natural gas or nuclear energy. Hydro electric and wind provide another 15%. Solar only generates 2%. You need to double or triple the output, which can only be done by building more electric plants. Electricity loses power the futher it travels. Coal, natural gas and nuclear plants can be built anywhere. The problem is coal plants which account for 20% of the electricity are being phased out so any new plants are just replacing coal plants. These electric plants need to be spread out all over the country and many states don’t want them.
    Another problem is the electric transmittion lines will have to be upgraded to able to take the heavy loads.
    Can all this be done in less then 8 years? Doubt it.

    Jackk you are also making my point if the courts are saying that a police officer can’t be considered afraid for their life and use a taser or gun in these cases there will be fewer car stops. More people will die from DUI for example. Do you realy think the average drunk will stop if he knows the cops are not going to shoot. More criminals on the street means more crime. You want our streets to look like the wild west of old where everyone took the law into their own hands.
    Police management not the police officer, will have to decide how to solve this problem. Tactics are going to have to change so instead of trying to taser the driver a tear gas grenade will be tossed in.
    What happens if you, with decades of driving experience gets into an accident? Do you go to jail? Do you lose your license to drive? I don’t think so.

    What I am trying to say is government may think they are solving a problem but are really just creating other problems. For example, we have a homeless problem, so the solution is that most new apartment buildings must have a large number of Affordable Housing Apartments. Which sounds nice on paper or as a sound bite. The only problem is that in order to qualify fora studio apartments your income has to be over $69K and be able to pay $2,200 per month in rent. The problem is that the homeless can’t afford it. They make $30 to 50k per year. For another $100.00 per month in mortgage payments you could own a house and rent out the basement. Helping people own their own home would be the better way.
    Over a hundred years ago instead of buses we had trolley cars, which were buses that run on overhead electric wires. We could go back to them. There would be no batteries needed. They could have rubber tires, so no tracks are needed. If electric is the way to go and most bus lines are owned by the government, why isn’t it being done?

    NJ is now banning disel trucks and want them to switch to electric. This is going to create a supply chain back up. Many of the truckers who pick up containers from the ports are selfemployed and can’t afford to buy new trucks. Less truckers picking up from NJ ports will create a backlog of container as happened in the West Coast.
    These drivers will either register their trucks out of state or work out of state resulting in less income tax revenue for NJ.

    2cents Battery replacement cost while you claim it’s only $3-5K and I say it’s 16K. The battery is made of module and usually only one of three modules are failing so the manufacturer will credit back the dealerfor the good modules who will then credit back the owner. So instead of costing 16K it only costs $6k and the difference is probably labor charges and or parts.
    As far as swapping out batteries Owners are already complaining to Tesla due to voltage imbalances on their replacement batteries which is a sign of battery failure. The question is also will an owner spend the $3-5K according to you every few years so that his mileage range remain close to 100% not covered under warranties Tesla’s warranty only kicks in when mileage goes below 75% during the first 8 years and mileage on the car is below 100k. You have to realize Model 3 starts at $39K and as soon as you drive it out of the dealership the value drops. Is it worth it after a few years to spend $5k on a car that may only be worth $27k?
    Most of your information comes from the manufacture’s website which is like trusting a used car salesman theyare only trying to sell more cars. While I rely more on third parties such as the EPA for mileage, repair shops and disgruntled owners for replacements costs.
    I am curious if electric cars can survive on the potholed streets of NYC. The battery is on the bottom of the car if it scraps the pavement it can total the battery. Axles have already been broken in some of these potholes.

    2cents What you fail to mention is that the Telsa model 3 which has the one longest range of electric cars in the US. Although EPA rated at 383 miles The Model S has a claimed rate of 412 miles while EPA gives only 405 miles between charges. These models aren’t cheap a Model S starts at $90K and tops off at $150K while amodel 3 starts at $39k – $50K.
    The problem with the rapidcharging as it is that it kills the battery life as it overcharges the battery.While the battery has a built in mangement to control this overtime it wears down. The normal battery life is 300k – 500k miles. But after 100k miles they can start losing it’s ability to hold the charge so that you will have to charge more often. There have been cars with as few as 40k miles having fried batteries and while this maybe covered under the warranty as most cars warranty the batterry for 100k miles or 8 years if the batteriy fails to hold 60% of the charge. There are other factors which may void the warranty such as how you drive, recharge and the climate it is being driven in. Battery replacement cost about $16K but will vary based on location.
    A Telsa owner who needed a battery replacement decided to blow up the car rather than pay the $22K to replace it. Which you can google if you think I am making this up.
    Another problem is how will all these EV battaries get recycled?

    As far as Blackouts are concerned you need look no further than California not Texas, which has rolling blackouts due to peak demand and to combat forest fires due to poor planning.
    The key problem is electricity unlike gas can not be stored and so there is the risk that it wouldn’t be there when you need it.
    I am glad that someone agrees that NYC which wants to use electric for both heating and cooking will overload the system which may result in blackouts with no heat, only cold food and no transportation.

    Correction: Using 120 volt it will take 34-40 hours to recharge a 200 mile battery, using 240V to recharge it’s 10 hours or you get 20 mile per hour . Rapid charging can take as little as 30 minutes to an hour,

    I think the country is heading down the path to a civil war. Biden was elected under the impression that he was a uniter but that is not the case. The claim that 1/6/21 was some type of coup doesn’t make sense as no one except the police were armed with firearms. The only one shot was an unarmed veteran.
    In the meantime the democtrats are firing members of the police and armed forces who refuse to be vaccinated. Biden has put in place mandates which will deny them the ability to get new jobs. Do you think they are going to sit around and do nothing.
    This is very similiar to Germany in the 1920s. Remember that the Nazis won in 1933 even with intimadation and counting the votes, they were only able to get 43.9% of the votes. While Biden won 51% of the vote vs Trump 47% in the election, his current polls is 38%.

    This evolving into a Democratic Ploy against President Trump where evidence and charges keep evolving, which work in impeachment where anything goes, but not in criminal court. Or to quote former President Clinton “it all depends on what is means”. You keep changing what you claim you mean.
    In Manhattan one of the most liberal counties in New York State and perhaps the country, the DA Cy Vance has been trying to indict Trump & his company for over 2.5 years without success, This is eventhough there is a saying “You can indict a ham sandwich”. The reason is that anyone can be indicted but once it comes to the trial the case will be dismissed unless there is evidence to support it.
    The DA has hundreds if not thousands of cases pending at any given time. All of these cases have been investigated by the Police or Sherriff’s office and are awaiting prosecution. Why would the DA take on a new case which he has to investigate and subpoena evidence before he can prosecute?
    The vast majority of the hundreds of backlogged cases are violent cases, so why is your fraud case going to get precedent esspecially when you are not articulating how the DA is going to win a conviction.

    A few years ago the House Democrats tried to get then President Trump’s Tax Return claiming fraud, which they never got. But in Manhattan, one of the most liberal counties in New York State the DA Cy Vance was able to get a copy of Trump’s New York State’s Return. He has grand juries investigating but has never indicted Trump. Yet Trump has been impeached twice by Congress during this period. Cy Vance will be out of office by the end of the month so who knows if the new DA will continue the investigation as the statute of limitation is 6 years from the date of occurrence or two years from the fraud was found out. This was suppose to be an open and shut case. Yet even though Manhattan is the most liberal county in NY they couldn’t find enough evidence to indict President Trump, one of the most hated Presidents of fraud. This is because proving fraud in a court of law is very hard.

    I am just curious how the judge will sign an arrest warrant without first recieving a “True Biil” from a Grandl Jury. I do realize that in 2 states they don’t require grand juries but 48 state and the DC require a Grand Jury Indictment prior to an arrest warrant. In those states that don’t require grand jury upon arrest the DA must provide evidence at a probable cuase hearing which is the first hearing after the arrest which the judge must determine iif there is adequate evidence that he committed the crime.
    As a general rule, the prosecutor must notify the defendant and allow him to testify at the grand jury telling his side of the story. The defendent is allowed to testify and is allowed to consult with his attorney who is not present at the grand jury. Any testimony given at a grand jury can be used against the witness at trail. The prosecuter can cross examine the defendant and then the prosecuter reads the law and leaves the grandjury to decide to indict or not. When they indict it is called a true bill meaning the DA has enough evidence to charge the defendant.
    As a general rule if the defendent has a logical explanation the grandj ury will side with him. In your case you have evidence that the husband lives in his ex-wife’s house for over a week. That doesn’t prove that the divorce is a fraud.
    I don’t know what type of evidence the DA is going to subpoena. Nor do I know what evidence the PI will provide. A subponea is a document ordering someone to appear in court. Since the only people with knowledge of the divorce are the husband and the wife beside the court itself whose documents are readily available to the DA. The husband and wife are just going to testify that they are legally divorced. I am not really sure what purpose the subpeonas are going to accomplish other than waste everybodies time.
    I am not sure the DA even has probable cause that fraud was even committed.
    The fact that the husband is still living in the house with his wife is not grounds to invalidate the divorce in most states including NY & NJ as they can live together before and after the divorce. And even in the states that require seperate living quarters that is before the divorce will be granted not after. So if the PI can submitt evidence that they lived together during the 180-365 day prior to the date the divorce was granted in a state that requires seperation during that period then the divorce maybe invalidated, but that should be handled in divorce court which is civil court not criminal court.
    As far as having a different address on his tax return and government id, this is only that he has a place to stay in case his wife kicks him out.
    Just like the Rittenhouse case as long as the defendent has a logical explanation the jury and judge are going to side with him. You are falling for the same logic as the DA in the Riienhouse case just becuase you say it’s fraud doesn’t mean it’so.Unless your talking about some make believe evidence that your PI has uncovered.

    I am not trying to provide anyone legal service and anyone can simple verify any of my claims listed below by googling them on the internet:
    1) There are internet based services that will help you with the paperwork needed to file a divorce. One of which charges $135.00. There will also be court filing fees which vary state to state.
    2) You can live in the same house while gatting divorced and even after it’sfinalized in most states If you need a date of seperation for the divorce paperwork. use the date you decided to seperate.
    3) A creditor may seize assets in which your name and social security number is associated with. There are an exceptions for retirement benifits and some government benifits.
    4) The maximum that can be garnished is 25% of the salary after taxes or in some states 10% of the gross salary.
    5) Always answer a summons to civil court. If you fail to answer the plaintiff may win a defualt judgement, Which mean he won the case If it’s the first time you can ask the judge for a continunace and he will set another court date you just need an excuse.
    If the husband is scared a creditor will garnish his wages, He can divorce his wife in secular civil court, transfer all his assete ie house bank and investment account to be solely in her name and give her child support or alimony of over 25% of his disposible income. Thereby giving the creditor no where to collect from. The balance of his income is deposit into a seperate account under a relitive’s name. He will only be able to use it via internet banking.
    He can sleep in his own bed and there is nothing the creditor can do. The debtor can declare bankruptcy and possibly get the debt discharged. If he does he can remarry his ex-wife civily.

    The problem that you fail to understand is the judge’s dockets are full. In order for the the judge to even consider granting him a hearing the DA may discuss the case with judge in between cases, but he must be able to provide evidence the divorce was a fraud and convience the judge that it was fruad beyond a reasonable doubt. The only evidence is a private eye claiming that the ex-husband stayed over night and the husband may have just cuase for being there.. If the ADA fails not only will he not get his hearing but get a dressing down and it’s doubtful the next time he needs a hearing he will not get it.
    Judges do not like to delay docket becuase criminal will be denied speedy trail and go free. Divorce is a Civil Court and DA’s working in Criminal Court.Divorce is final and the divor,ce agreement can only be adjusted by the husband and wife.THe DA is an uninterested party in this matter. While a Criminal Court Judge may want to hear the ADA’s request. A Civil Court Judge may not even be so sympathetic to hear the ADA out as he is just creating more work when the whole civil court is backlogged. Without invalidating the divorce it’s impossible to prove fraud.
    As far as delaying trials is concern, Mr Brooks who ran over and killed 6 people had his bail reduced from $10,000 to $1,000.00 becuaser his trial was delayed.
    As far as my friend is concerned he kept finding victims and bring them to the DA’s office until the DA decided to prosecute. They made a plea deal and he got his money back and the defendant got probation.
    Providing legal services without a license for a fee is a crime in all state punishable by fines and or jail time.

    In order for fraud to be proven the divorce must be invalidated and the child support likewise invalidated. The only problem is that neither the creditor nor the DA have any legal standing in divorce cases. Without invalidating the divorce there is no fraud. Even if you could have a judge open the divorce case to invalidate the case both sides need to be heard in order for a ruling to be made.
    With the courts backed up due to covid it may take years until a hearing is made in this divorce case.
    Mean time the clock is running out on your fraud case, assuming this is a felony case you have 3 years from the date the husband filed for divorce to bring the case. I have a friend who gave his son-in-law money for a down payment. The seller backed out of the sale and the money wasn’t returned. He sued both in a din torah and civil court won both times could collect referred the matter to the Ocean County DA’s office in NJ got nowhere.

    A divorce ss is child support are court orders that can only be overturned by a judge. As a general rule testimony by a privite eye can be used by one of the parents to adjust the child support. The evidence that the private eye is providing is just that the husband stayed over at his ex-wifes home. There can be reason why he did so such as his child wasn’t feeling well. Can an outside party not the husband or wife invalidate a divorce? If the creditor can invalidate the divorce from what date? From the date the witness saw the husband staying over there or from the date of the judge ruling in the matter. In any case the child support was in force from the date of divorce and is seperate it is doubtful that the judge will remove the child support garnishment.
    The statute of limitation in NY State is 1 year for petty offenses, 2 years for misdemeanors and three years for felonies. Since someone thinks a crime was committed.
    As far as social security being garnishment proof you are allowed to keep two monthss worth of social security in your bank account anything over that can be garnished by your creditor.
    As far as the government coming after me, no crime has been committed You don’t want to say what criminal act was commited. With the backlog in the criminal courtts it”s doubtful the DA’s office will want to prosecute the case. It will depend on can they prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
