He should have stayed with his band. I especially liked “Livin’ in the USA,” which expresses ideas contrary to his immigration policy.

To Daas Yochid: funniest comment ever on YWN, including all of mine.

50 comdians, 5 are funny. 500 comedians, 5 are funny. 5,000 ….

Reply to akuperma: The Democrats of the pre-Civil War 19th Century were the party of slavery and slave holders. Yes, some of them wanted to annex Mexico, but their plan was to have Mexico admitted as a slave state (or states), so that they could expand their plantations. What that has to do with the current issue of border control is a mystery to me – and probably you as well.

Is there something wrong with Torah Jewry when supposedly frum people can discuss a hat manufacturer so extensively? I don’t think this much ink was ever spilled over Tefillin.

So this topic is first posted on July 6, and by July 10, the boys and coach are saved. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Congratulations to RebYidd23: You said something with which I agree. What could be smarter?

Is a habbit a cross between a hare and a rabbit? And are they kosher? And if so, please post a good-eating recipe.

Hashem is watching. Parents are overrated.

I have been reading about the so-called Shidduch crisis for years. All the theories about why the Shidduch crisis exists are nonsense. But more important, no one has cited any statistics to confirm that frum Jews are not getting married.

If there is a Shidduch crisis, why is the frum population growing?

I’m pretty sure that, halachically, its OK.

I have a comment about the opening post which may sound insulting, but it is not intended to be. I would be curious to know where you were born, what is the first language you learned to speak, and whether you are a full-time English speaker, a full-time Yiddish speaker, or some other language entirely. Your English, as written, shows no familiarity with English grammar and usage. If English is your third, fourth or eighth language, you are doing OK. But if it is your first or second, you should work on it, or give it up.

Again, I emphasize, I mean no insult, but this site is an English-language site, and your English is faulty.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Much so-called Jewish music is neither Jewish nor music. Music is very important, and it would be a shame to limit frum children to that junk called “Jewish music.”

Peyos and tzisis are not expressions of “Jewish pride.” They are fulfillments of mitzvos. Period. And “Jewish pride” is an egregious, misplaced emotion. Tznius is about humility, not “Jewish pride.”

Lucky Strike cigarettes: what’s lucky about carcinogens?

It’s not a brand name, but there is a musical instrument called a “Jew’s harp.” It has a single metal twanger, gives the player a headache, and is much cheaper than most musical instruments. I don’t know where the name came from, but it has nothing to do with us chosen people. And I have never heard one played at a simcha.

Now that I think of it, it’s not funny at all.

to health: you have told me very little. There was no “Watergate commission.” She was a junior lawyer in the Justice Department that investigated Watergate. And she learned that if you deny, deny, deny, and don’t tape yourself, you have a good chance of beating the raps. As for the e-mails to Chelsea, why has she not been prosecuted by Sessions/Trump? It might be that the e-mails were not classified when she sent them. Where did you get the information about these e-mails?

There are many places that have much lower rates of mass shooting than the United States. The one thing they have in common is radically tighter control of guns.Make up your minds, America. Do we want a well-regulated militia, per the Second Amendment, or guns for all, per the National Rifle Association and their financial backers, who are mostly gun manufacturerers.

To Joseph: I have read many of your posts in the Coffee Room. What makes you think that you could pass a literacy test?

It is distressing that the participants in this discussion have no familiarity with metric measurement. We don’t all have to be engineers like the Lubavitcher Rebbe, but we should have enough science education to be familiar with metric measurement.

The Torah commands us: If you got it, flaunt it. And if you don’t got it, borrow it.

Oh, vait. It doesn’t say that.

Get a cootie shot and you will have nothing to worry about.

I have not been to that museum, but according to published information about it, the organizers are devout Protestant X-ians who openly want to promote their interpretation of the Bible. Even among us Jews, there are lots of ways to interpret Tanakh, and X-ians interpret Tanakh as predicting their chosen savior. (Their savior is “chosen” only in one sense of the word.) The only reason for a frum Jew to visit the museum would be to find out how the X-ians come to their relgious view, and that is not a valid inquiry for a frum Jew.

First of all, Trump could not do all the reading required to convert. And after converting, he would still be a jerk regardless of Litvak, Schmidtvak or sit-back..

So this gentile young woman who works as a maid for a Jewish family goes home for X-mas, and her family asks her about working for Jews. She says it’s fine but she does not understand their holidays. On Sukkos, they smoke in the house but eat in a hut in the back yard. On Shabbos, they eat in the dining room but smoke in the bathroom. And on Yom Kippur, they smoke in the bathroom and eat in the bathroom.
