Like KGN, I’m not pro Russia nor pro Ukraine. I feel bad for the Ukrainians and don’t want anyone to suffer. I daven that all yidden stay safe. I feel bad for innocent Russians too (obviously not as much as I feel bad for the Ukrainians). The sanctions will affect them.
The question here is to what extent do we have to suffer (with higher gas prices etc.) to support the Ukrainians.Dr. Pepper just one point,
Crimes are waaaaayyyy up where I am from, and yes guns are illegal.
Criminals don’t have to worry about the innocent victims having a gun and they don’t have to worry about going to prison because of bail reform that democrats put into place and don’t want to get rid of.
Wonderful.
Jackk what do you think of that?Dr. Pepper.
You couldn’t have said it better.
Finally, a discussion on policies and not just bashing specific individuals.
It’s not pro-Trump anti-Trump pro-Biden anti-Biden. It’s the actions and the policies. And what makes a stronger and better America. And of course taking a look which party best aligns with our values.There are many republicans that truly have no idea what the party stands for and these people can’t have an actual discussion with someone like jackk. They just yell Brandon.
They will all do well to have a good discussion to get a bit more educated with dr. pepper.Rabbi Bald is also legit. The Stoliner Rebbe sent him years ago. I know them personally (we’re related) They live in Lviv which is I believe 8 hours from Kiev and much closer to the border.
Thanks ujm,
I didn’t donate before because of all the emails but once you wrote in Rabbi Bleich shlita I donated.100% agreed.
What should we do that the Democrats are priding themselves on a strong NATO when that was one of the big reasons Putin invaded Ukraine IMHOReb E.
I will respectfully disagree.
Among the many things part of the Republican platform:
– Anti- abortion
– Less regulation on businesses
– stronger border
– against bail reform/ for stronger policing
– for a stronger military
etc.
You may disagree with any one of these or all of these (which I can’t believe because you are for sure anti abortion but whatever).Trump was never my first choice. I despise his morals, his personality and I honestly think he’s a sick narcissist. But as a Republican conservative I will agree that he enacted a lot of great policies.
Not every Republican is good. There are anti semites on both sides and YWN should call them all out.
I honestly think there are many more anti semites on the left which is why they receive more coverage.
Also, when looking who’s anti semitic one has to look at their action and policies together with their words as a package.Yes, the squad gets called out more often because look at their words, their actions and the policies they support.
Trump may have said some anti-semitic remarks but look at his actions (he was good for Israel, freed Rebashkin and some other frum Jews etc.) and policies.
I was told by a serious Breslover that learns R’ Nachman’s seforim that R’ Nachman did not want to be buried in Israel.
The Jews in Uman prepared busses and drivers just in case but as soon as the bombing started the drivers disappeared and they had to find new drivers.
Biden’s loving this war. It takes everyones attention off his failures that really matter- inflation, border etc
RW- You know why?
Because it made a lot of enemies.
People seriously believe that if you are anti-vax you are spreading disinformation and causing the virus to continue and if you are pro-vax then you are out to kill the world and force everyone to give over their rights.
It made people believe that anyone on the other side is out to get them and hates them.
Worst invention ever vaccine- it divided and bought hate to an already divided world.
Let’s hope that as Jews we can put this aside and love each other despite views on covid, masks and vaccines.I agree with the indoor plumbing.
I was on the way to Mezhibiz and needed a restroom. Lo and behold there was only an outhouse.
It was DISGUSTING. UUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.
Indoor plumbing= best invention ever!!!!
Worst invention- social media, covid vaccineI go bowling once or twice a year. I went like 6 months ago,
Hm- hard one.
1) there have been many democratic presidents that supported and aided Israel.
2) this one being a double-edged sword- Government programs. Honestly, they are bad, they raise taxes and prices BUT noone in the the US doesn’t have money for food because of foodstamps. In Israel there are people that seriously can’t afford food. So, I guess democrats supporting that is good in some way.
3) I can’t think of another one. There probably are more positives, but I am a hard core conservitive so……….The type of meat is important. Cheap chulent meat is meant to add taste to the chulent but the meat itself isn’t the greatest. I like to use cheek meat.
I am talking about the Chayalim
I was in Israel and I watched the girls and boys together.
You wouldn’t have known they were Jewish.
So sad.Yeah true story.
We now call that hospital a butcher storeI’m a conservative.
I have been a conservative for years.
I have been having political arguments (in a fun way) with people why conservative policies are better for our country and ultimately for the individual, for a long time.
However, when there isn’t a Republican candidate that I approve of, for any reason, I don’t vote.I like to saute an onion, sear the cheek meat, add 3/4 cup chulent/cholent mix, 1 cup barley, lots of spices, a bit of kechup, put a lot of water. Enjoy!!!
My brother had an infection on his foot when he was 10 years old. My parents went to a hospital (I wish I could warn everyone which one) and was told they have to amputate his leg. They went to a different hospital and with some medication the infection went away and he lives happily ever after.
Honestly- I was hoping Trump wouldn’t win in 2016. His disgusting personality and lies made me think that it’s not possible for him to be good for the USA. I was BH wrong. I still hate his personality but I agree with (almost) all his policies.
And for the record- cutting taxes on rich- causes them to hire more workers and increase their business. Would you like Amazon to disappear because they pay too much taxes? I know people that say “I don’t want to get a raise because then I lose my programs and pay more taxes, I land up poorer.”
That’s not how we build a rich, economically strong country. We cut taxes- allowing more people to see the fruits of their hard work, so that they grow their company, hire more workers- more people have jobs, they get rich and it’s a great cycle.
Why should someone that works hard and gets rich give 50% of their paycheck to people who chose to sit home and chill while making unemployment?
and
akuperma- yeah, we need LEGAL immigrants. I’m still waiting for Biden to lower the amount of legal immigrants allowed in this country.
We need a good, legal process of getting immigrants into this country.
The way it’s happening now is TERRIBLE.I’m not sure we have to worry. The price of cars and gas is so high, I’m sure there are plenty that will be forced to use mass transit vs buying/leasing cars.
I never heard of that.
The only time I needed fare proof is if I paid with coins and then needed a transfer to a different busChange yourself and you have changed a world.
There’s nothing I can do to help them so……….. next topic pleaseI agree with Syag.
If you’re sick stay home.
If you’re not sick don’t wear a mask.
and AAQ check outChina’s Success Taming Virus Could Make Exit Strategy Harder
then tell me if all the lockdowns masks and vaccines help.
Natural immunity is the best
STOP WITH THE MASKSMaybe YWN pays him to start threads.
I can also start threads if I get paid to do it.
Never mind I’m actually to busy for that.You may have listeners but honestly I don’t think anyone really cares about your posts (no offense)
VS. Hashem who waits for every tefillah and truly cares!!!!!!
Maybe before each post say a kapital tehillim I think that would be a perfect balance 🙂How about a moderator?
Maybe become that?Why would anyone want to go to Montreal now- they have strict covid rules. Additionally, it’s freezing cold- not my idea of vacation
I like North Miami. There are some nice villas with a pool. Kosher food and everything. It’s warm and super relaxing.
Arizona is also really niceHow to save the world:
1. Make a document called the world
2. Save the documentBefore you marry a person you should make them use a computer with slow internet to see who they really are
Do you think clouds look down at people and think “that one is shaped like an idiot”?
I think everyone believes what they want to believe. It is then always easy to find sources that are reputable to back one’s belief. Nobody can know all the biases behind a seemingly reputable source.
EX:
When one believes vaccines and masks work- they can find plenty of reputable sources backing their belief.
But if one believes vaccines and masks don’t work- they can also find reputable sources backing their belief.
So everyone sticks to their beliefs.AAQ- you seem to have the mistaken assumption that my mil supports us. What I meant by her giving more $ to my husbands siblings is like by chanukah gifts (which we appreciate and she can chose to give whoever however much she wants) because they work.
I am so leaving this conversation. I came in to discuss teachers salaries and why I left teaching.From states like NY (and other democratic states) who believe very strongly in their no bail law. Like when you have repeat offenders they keep letting them back on the street with no bail. Common knowledge
Thanks Avira- But, it makes it more real. Kollel is not something my husband was encouraged into- its a path we chose despite the difficulties- which makes us stronger. But, I was surprised to see so many ppl against kollel. Like it’s not your child, so who cares?
As for programs- When a kollel family really needs the funds and they are eligible they should completely take it. AAQ has equal preference for his taxes helping a T”Ch or a homeless beggar. His whole reply has so many wrong points I wouldn’t even know where to begin to respond.
And UJM is correct. If someone is eligible for govt programs that means they are making very little money for a non frum lifestyle and a frum lifestyle is way more expensive. And if they take the higher goal of teaching (which is what this post started with) at least they should be taking govt programs to help them with basics like foodstamps for food.
Just my (and my ravs) opinion.Reb E- so nice.
I’m super close to my sisters (I speak to them a few times a day). I’m really good with my brothers wives (speak to them once in a while). I’ll have a geshmake conversations with my brothers (when I see them which isn’t too often). I have a polite formal relationship with my sisters husbands.
My husbands family is not so close-knit. We have a nice time when we see each other and we share in each others simchos but otherwise……Yehudis-
Hashem tilted the axis after the mabul.Reb E- When democrats believe in putting criminals right back on the streets instead of locking them up then the only possible conclusion is that democrats love criminals.
Would you rather your taxes go to the homeless than to a talmud chacham?
My husband is a MASSIVE taldmud chochom. It would be a waste to the world if he would go work. So which is better? We tried without programs and didn’t have money for food. Literally. We then spoke to our rav and said we are allowed to be on programs IF we can’t live without it.
BH now that I’m not teaching and working in an office (I am going for my degree) I am not eligible for programs BH!!!
And for my mil- she’s coming around. She just will never respect my husband as much as his brothers with jobs. She ironically gives them more money than she gives us. Buts thats ok she doesn’t owe us anything. We chose this life and we live with it.I didn’t realize you were talking about public schools.
Oh and I taught for 10 years. Get your facts straight
I don’t know a single school that pays $4,000/month. I was getting waaaaaaaaaaaaaayy less ($25,000/year) range. And I taught for ten years up until this year. Get your facts straight.
