    The article shown below is titled:
    “The Democrats’ last ditch plans” and was written by Alan Bergstein.
    It was published on 2024 May 30 in www (dot) IsraelNationalNews (dot) com:

    =================================================

    I’ll readily admit that I try to regulate my schedule
    to tune in to every speech Joe Biden delivers.

    It’s not out of respect for the man or for the knowledge he imparts.

    With notebook and pen in hand, at each event, I wait patiently
    for him to come up with one of his patented fairy tales,
    start screaming or whispering at the camera,
    or merely just close his eyes and amazingly nodding off,
    while standing upright.

    Joe can do it all in the minimum amount of time his handlers allot him.

    Too much, and he’ll wander off script, imitating Buddy Hackett.
    In short, he’s a scam artist and out of it, but most of all and most sadly,
    he’s the US president. And we Americans are stuck with him as long
    as he’s still breathing, until Trump’s Inauguration Day,
    January 20, 2025. May G-d have mercy on us ’til then…

    But all the while, give Biden, this inane quisling, credit for his political survival savvy.

    He’s the prime example of a dangerous dictator masquerading as a victim and patriot.
    He showers us with self-pitying tales of his wife’s and kids’ disastrous automobile deaths
    and falsifies his son Beau’s death as occurring during the Iraq war.

    He not only proclaims what kinds of autos, washing machines
    and light bulbs we must purchase but also woos the support
    of enemy nations with billions of our taxpayer monies.

    He also now oversees and controls our formerly independent
    criminal justice system consisting of three letter agencies (FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS),
    to harass, prosecute and incriminate his political enemies.

    In short, he is an All-American, suit and tie wearing version of a Castro,
    Putin, Stalin or Hitler in our White House. Do not underestimate him.

    To our amazement, he has tyrannically persecuted, prosecuted and incriminated
    the main adversary to his continuing presidency, using our criminal justice system
    to openly attempt to throttle Trump’s campaigning…and has failed.

    Trump, forced to remain in Manhattan, where Democrat Soros-funded DA,
    Alvin Bragg rules, has used his court “off time” to roust up enough NYC
    and NJ supporters, to threaten the Democrat dominance in these states.

    There seems to be no prosecutorial way to throttle Trump.
    Legally anyway.
    So, with the election looming only five months away and with
    Biden’s brain and body withering before our very eyes, with Trump supporters
    coming out in droves and with the polls showing a possible
    national crushing defeat for the Democrat Party from dog-catcher
    up to the White House, what’s their next step, their way out?

    ** I believe there might even be a plan, a last ditch one; a last resort,
    to harm Trump physically. It’s standard procedure in totalitarian countries
    to exterminate serious political opposition, and since
    we’re currently bordering on one, why not here?

    We’ve seen the viral hatred exhibited by the likes of
    Dem leaders, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley,
    Bernie Sanders and others of their side of the aisle.

    And supporting their positions, the recent nationwide, well led, planned
    and funded street and college riots, awakening us to understand that
    they are very capable of untold violence to stay afloat and in command.
    And anyone, who stands in their way must be erased, removed, eradicated.

    We see how Biden and his party have already abandoned Israel,
    throwing it to the wolves.

    And didn’t the Obama/Biden team gift Iran with a nuclear arsenal?

    Sad to say, we’ve come to a point in time when our democracy,
    our acceptance of the rights of all to speak up and be heard
    is tapering off and is in danger of becoming history.

    Donald Trump is the lone one standing in the way of those who
    are both on the payroll and in the camp of Iran and China.

    His presidency would put an end to China’s growing industrial
    and financial dominance over the world and he’d stop the Islamist Iran
    from radiating its Koranic control of the Middle East and its energy deposits.

    These next most crucial five months will tell the story. if Trump evades
    a jail term in NYC and elsewhere, and if he gets free to campaign
    and tell the story of the plans the Democrat Party has for this country,
    he must be mindful that he is a target, a real one, for his opposition
    and must keep a constant security team around him and his family.

    May G-d watch over and protect him.

    PERSONAL COMMENT FROM SQUARE_ROOT:

    President Joe Biden’s old boss, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama,
    used the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to attack
    pro-Israel non-profit organizations.

    Amazingly. most American Jews are still big fans of Obama!
    Obama’s persecution of pro-Israel non-profit organizations
    did not reduce his popularity with Leftist Jews, not even by 1%.

    “Biden’s policy now is that Hamas should be allowed to live
    to massacre another day. In the end, then, while Biden spent
    months being the best friend Israel may ever have had in
    the White House, he has now become one of its worst enemies.”

    Jonathan S. Tobin, editor-in-chief of JNS (Jewish News Syndicate) said:

    Succumbing to pressure from the intersectional left wing of his own party
    that views Israel as a “white oppressor” and “apartheid” state,
    and implicitly accepting Hamas propaganda about civilian casualties,
    he [President Joe Biden] characterized Israel’s war effort as “over the top,”
    and that it was guilty of “indiscriminate” killing of Palestinians.

    This was entirely false and remains so.

    But rather than treating the pro-Hamas and antisemitic protests
    that were breaking out on college campuses and in the streets
    of the nation’s cities, Biden seemed intimidated by the leftist attacks
    on Israel that were being echoed by the corporate media.

    WISCONSIN (VINnews) — Jewish activist Shabbos Kestenbaum,
    a Harvard graduate who has filed a lawsuit against the university
    over its antisemitism, will be speaking at the Republican National Convention.

    In a tweet, Kestenbaum announced that he voted for Bernie Sanders
    last election, however his views have changed because of
    what his classmates were doing while Jews were being slaughtered.

    The Convention’s website says that Shabbos is a “lifelong Democrat”
    who will be voting for president Trump for the first time.

    PERSONAL COMMENT: The number of ILLEGAL ALIENS that
    President Joe Biden allowed to enter the USA is
    more than ten million: > 10,000,000.

    They include: convicted criminals, members of violent
    gangs that sell illegal drugs, Chinese spies, Chinese soldiers,
    Chinese Police Officers, and people with infectious diseases.

    President Joe Biden has hundreds of high-level employees
    who report to him directly or indirectly. They are his administration.

    Total number of pro-Israel people in the Biden Administration: 0.
    Percent of pro-Hamas people in the Biden Administration: 100%.

    But the best part is when millions of Jews vote to re-elect Joe Biden,
    even though his administration is 100% pro-Hamas and 0% pro-Israel.
    Because Jews are very intelligent.

    News Reporter Carl Campanile of The New York Post said:
    =====================================

    Nearly half of Jewish voters have felt at risk because of their religious identity
     while living in the Empire State — while more than a third said that New York
    is no longer a safe haven for their people, a shocking new poll reveals.

    The survey conducted for the pro-Israel New York Solidarity Network 
    found that 44% of the 1,200 Jewish voters in New York City
    and other counties queried said they have felt unsafe,
    as did 67% of identifiable Orthodox Jews.

    More than a third — 35% — said they agreed with the statement:
    “New York is no longer a safe haven for Jewish life and the Jewish people.”

    Nearly 40% of the same voters said the US is no longer a safe haven for Jews.
    The numbers are unsettling given that 1.5 million Jews live in New York state
    — more than any single place on the globe outside of Israel, the poll takers said. 

    “That more than a third of registered New York Jewish voters believe
    New York is no longer a safe haven for Jews should be a five-alarm fire
    for state and local elected officials,” Sara Forman, executive director
    of the New York Solidarity Network and Treasurer of Solidarity PAC,
    said in a statement to The Post Wednesday. 

    It comes as New York has been hit by a wave of antisemitic hate crimes
    since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

    The hate has spilled onto college campuses, where some Jewish students
    have been left cowering in fear due to anti-Israel protests and antisemitic incidents
    — including at Cooper Union and at Columbia University,
    where vandals occupied an academic building.

    Many of the masked hoodlums escaped prosecution, and a campaign
    is now underway to urge Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state legislature
    to restore a mask ban at public protests to prevent harassers
    and bigots from hiding their identify and getting away with crimes.

    Half of those surveyed by the New York Solidarity Network said
    they don’t believe New York’s college campuses will do enough
    to make Jewish students feel safe in the upcoming fall semester,
    while 42% said they did.

    Meanwhile, 86% of respondents said they believe that antisemitism
    is a serious problem, and 56% have witnessed anti-Jewish hatred
    on social media and online forums — 
    including 72% of those under the age of 30.

    Antisemitic hate crimes are up 45% in 2024, according to NYPD data
    obtained by The Post in April — with many of the
    emboldened attacks captured on shocking video.

    For instance, the Brooklyn Museum’s director and a number
    of its Jewish board members last month were targeted
    by antisemitic vandals who tossed red paint and scrawled
    “blood on your hands” across their homes.

    An inverted red triangle was sprayed on director Anne Pasternak’s
    co-op apartment building — a symbol used in the past
    by Hamas to identify Israeli military targets and, more recently,
    has been spotted at anti-Israel tent encampment protests
    that plagued university campuses across the country.

    An anti-Jewish harasser from Staten Island was recently arrested 
    for allegedly storming a Big Apple subway car
    and demanded that “Zionists” raise their hands.

    A Jewish father of five in Brooklyn was beaten in front of his own home
    last December during the first night of Hanukkah as his attacker
    spewed antisemitic vitriol — just two days before another man
    was robbed of his $2,500 traditional Jewish headpiece in the borough.

    The virulent Jew hatred has exploded amid the Hamas-Israel war in Gaza,
    initiated by the terror militia’s sneak attack on the Jewish State.

    “Jews have been warning leadership for months, as masked mobs
    teeming with hatred for Jews crowded outside hospitals and synagogues,
    defaced the homes of Jewish museum board members,
    intimidated Jews on the subway and in other public spaces,
    vandalized Jewish-owned business, overran colleges to ‘occupy’ campuses
    — all while far-left politicians celebrated this behavior as ‘peaceful’ protest,” Forman said.

    “If we do not feel safe here, with the largest Jewish community outside of Israel,
    how can we feel safe anywhere?” Forman added.

    “Community leaders, non-Jewish allies, and elected officials on
    the state and local level must send a decisive message
    to the public, and to those elected officials who condone this behavior,
    that anti-Jewish hatred has no place in New York, without exception or apology.”  

    The New York Solidarity Network survey conducted by
    GQR Insights and Action questioned 1,200 registered Jewish voters
    from May 9-22, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

    Live phone interviews made up 46% of respondents,
    while text-to-web surveys made up the other 54%.

    Voters from high density Jewish zip codes were interviewed in New York City
    and select counties: Nassau, Suffolk, Albany, Broome, Erie, Monroe, Oneida,
    Onondaga, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Tompkins, Ulster and Westchester.

    Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz of Yated Ne’eman said:

    “The media and his fellow politicians have been hiding the president’s condition from the American people.
    His administration governed following a leftist agenda, embedding it deeply into American governance, culture, and society.
    Expressing the truth about the president and his abilities risked the return of Donald Trump and his traditionalism and America First agenda.

    Journalism today is less about objective reporting and more about framing occurrences to advance agendas and objectives.
    So, when there were clips of the president demonstrably weakened, saying silly things, or speaking gibberish and displaying that he was in decline, the right-wing media reported on them while the prevailing mainstream media, whose objective is to advance social progressivism, ignored them.

    Biden was kept hidden from the general population. Sometimes they would trot him out to read speeches or comments from cards or a teleprompter, but he would rarely interface with people for long and didn’t engage in small talk. Invariably, when he did, he would say something foolish, wrong, or incomprehensible.

    He would meet with leaders and dignitaries and read his comments from cards. It was poor form for foreign leaders to tell anyone that the president wasn’t with it. At summits, everyone would play along and cover for the American president. Liberalism was enabled to govern and lead the country and the world.

    Generally, the gambit worked, and when the media and Democrat politicians were unable to ignore the instances, they blamed them on the right and said that the right-wing media was dishonestly editing clips to portray a healthy, sharp, vigorous president as incoherent and weak.

    But the campaign messed up. They believed their own narratives about Donald Trump and assumed that, in an early debate, he would expose himself to the world for the madman they told everyone he is. The country would see that he is insane and wants to be a dictator. They would be rid of him once and for all.

    But the tables were turned, and even after a full week of rest and preparation, their candidate could not perform.
    He spoke in incomplete sentences, was unclear and unfocused, and at times made absolutely no sense at all.
    There was no way to sugarcoat what 50 million people saw with their own eyes in real time.
    So instead of Trump being exposed, Biden was. And the jig was up.

    Once they realized that, everyone who had been covering for Biden ran for cover.
    Then they made it seem as if they were surprised.
    They knew that if permitted to run for reelection as their candidate,
    Biden would lose, and the liberal enterprise they had going would implode.
    With little choice, they began sacrificing their man and playing up the incompetent woman he had chosen to serve as his vice president, hoping that they would be able to do for her what they did for him and convince the low-information voters to vote for her and then carry her over the finish line.

    They say that their campaign is all about democracy, yet here they go and seek to upend the results of a primary in which Democrat voters across this country voted that Mr. Biden should be the Democrat nominee for president. However, because they fear that he will lose, they are now preparing to do something that was never done before and simply disgorge the democratically chosen candidate for president.
    Then they tell us that they are the ones fighting for democracy and Trump is the dictator.
    The media is gleefully formulating and driving this instead of simply reporting what others are saying and doing.”

    MY ADVICE:

    [1] Every man should require a legally-binding pre-nuptial contract,
    that protects his assets from Divorce Court. It may be necessary
    to have 2 or 3 pre-nuptial contract signed, because the wife can
    always claims that she was coerced into signing the contact.

    If the woman will not sign a legally-binding pre-nuptial contract,
    then DO NOT MARRY HER, regardless of who she is. Just don’t!

    [2] DO NOT SIGN any documents that legally recognize you
    as the father of ANY child, until AFTER you get a DNA test
    that proves that the child that your wife gave birth to
    is actually your biological child.

    Women are very clever: When they cheat on their husbands,
    they choose a man who LOOKS LIKE like their husband,
    so if a baby is born as a result of her cheating,
    the child will look like her husband, and nobody will suspect.

    Therefore, you must get a DNA test to prove that your child
    is really your child, even if the child looks like you.

    [3] DO NOT TELL your wife that you are DNA testing your children!

    And get the DNA test results sent to your work address,
    or relative’s home address, not your home address,
    where your wife may open your mail
    and steal the results of the DNA test.

    ====================================
    As I write these words, I know that people will attack me
    and ridicule me for saying these valuable truths.

    But I do not care, because I know for sure that
    THE TRUTH is on my side, and I am doing G*D’s work,
    by revealing these valuable truths. I just do not care
    how many ignorant and confused people disagree with me.

    Arizal stated that the Gimel Shevuot [Three Oaths]

    Rabbi Chaim Vital taught that the Three Oaths
    were only binding for the first thousand [1,000] years of Exile,

    This means that The Three Oaths expired more than 900 years ago.

    President Joe Biden recently made a public statement
    in which he said that he was “proud” to be
    “the first black woman to serve under a black president”.

    President Joe Biden confused himself several times in the sentence:
    He confused himself with his own vice president,
    Kamala Harris, and referred to her time
    as vice president under Barack Obama.

    ================================
    None of this surprised me.

    When Joe Biden became USA President 4 years ago,
    I said: “Congratulations!
    You just elected America’s first senile President!”

    Those were my exact words, 4 years ago.

    ================================
    Over the past 4 years, the neo-Marxists and Stalinists
    who dominate the MSM (Mainstream News Media)
    have conspired to conceal and deny the senility
    of President Joe Biden.

    But the recent debates made Joe Biden’s senility undeniable.

    The Mainstream News Media should be held accountable
    for their conspiracy to conceal and deny the senility
    of President Joe Biden.

    Rambam, Hilchot Shabbat, chapter 2, paragraph 23:

    [The following rules apply] when gentiles lay siege to Jewish cities:

    If their intent was financial gain, then Shabbat laws
    should not be violated because of them,
    nor are we allowed to wage war against them.

    If a city is located near the border, however,
    we should march against them with weapons
    and wage war against them, even when
    they are [merely] demanding hay or straw.

    In any location, if the gentiles’ intent was [to harm] Jewish lives,
    or if they engaged in battle with a city or laid siege to it,
    without stating a specific intention, we must wage war against them
    and the Shabbat laws should be violated because of them.

    It is a mitzvah for every member of the Jewish people
    who can come [to their assistance] to go out
    and help their brothers who are under siege
    and save them from the gentiles [even on] Shabbat.

    It is forbidden to delay until after Shabbat.

    After they [the Jewish soldiers] saved their brothers,
    they [the Jewish soldiers] may return home
    with their weapons [even] on Shabbat, so that a
    dangerous situation will not be created in the future.

    In Tanach, Sefer Shoftim, [the Book of Judges] chapter 5,
    the Prophetess Deborah [Devorah HaNeviyah],
    sings a Divinely-inspired song.

    In chapter 5, verses 12 to 16, she publicly praises
    those Jews who fought against the enemies of Israel.
    Then she publicly REBUKES those Jews who did
    NOT join the fight against the enemies of Israel.

    ===============================

    In Tanach, in Sefer Shmuel Aleph, chapter 18, verse 7,
    we see Shaul HaMelech and the General of Shaul’s Army,
    David ben Yishai. (This was before David became King.)

    They are both returning home from recent victory in war.

    We see the Jewish women publicly praising both of them:

    “SHAUL HAS SLAIN HIS THOUSANDS AND
    DAVID [HAS SLAIN] HIS TENS OF THOUSANDS.”

    From this we see that the soldiers who fight our enemies

    Babylonian Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin, page 72A:

    “If you see someone coming to kill you,
    then arise and kill him first.”

    EXPLANATION: Hamas and Hezbollah are trying
    to kill as many Jews as possible, and they have
    been doing that for at lesst the past 20 years.

    Muslims, in general, have a history of killing Jews
    that goes back more than 1,400 years into the past,
    all the way back to Mohammed, who Muslims
    believe to be the greatest prophet and the perfect man,
    who actions must be immitated by all Muslims.

    Mohammed ordered that 800 Jewish prisoners of war
    all be beheaded., and their orphans made into slaves
    and their widows used for immoral purposes.

    All this was 1,200 years before the first Zionists.
    So do not say that Zionists causes Muslims to hate Jews.

    Once full-scale war broke out after the State of Israel
    declared its existence on May 14, 1948 [CE]
    Reb Shraga Feivel’s [Mendlowitz] thoughts
    were never far from Eretz Yisrael.

    A group of students saw him outside the Mesivta building
    one day, talking excitedly with Rabbi Gedaliah Schorr
    and gesticulating rapidly with the newspaper held in his hand.

    “If I were your age,” he told the students,
    “I would take a gun and go to Eretz Yisrael.”

    one person asked Rabbi Avigdor Miller ZTL ZYA,
    if we Jews should pray for the Israeli Army.

    Rabbi Avigdor Miller gave this answer:

    “IF THEY ARE FIGHTING TO DEFEND US,
    THEN WE SHOULD PRAY FOR THEM.”

    Those were his exact words, which I personally witnessed.

    The Vilna Gaon (ZTL ZYA) was thrown in jail, twice.

    But we never refer to him as a convicted felon,
    because we know that he was the innocent victim
    of false accusations from an anti-Jewish government.

    Lehavdil, Donald Trump is also the victim of

    Aharon Sorasky was the author of Shelucha DeRachmana,
    which is the Hebrew-language biography of
    Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz.

    The following information about Aharon Sorasky was
    copied from the WikiPedia article titled Aharon_Sorasky:

    ===================================

    Rabbi Sorasky was born on April 28, 1940, and is a Slonimer chossid.

    He began his writing career with the Hamodia
    and worked for the Netzach publishing company.

    He has been hired by several Hasidic courts
    to write biographies about their rebbes.

    Rabbi Hanoch Teller wrote that “for decades, Rabbi Surasky
    has established himself as the most eminent, reliable and
    stylistically graceful biographer of our time–perhaps of all time.”

    Rabbi Teller also praises him as a
    “serious talmid chacham and erudite scholar.”[1]

    Rabbi Simcha Wasserman praised him for his work, Ohr Elchonon,
    about Rabbi Wasserman’s father, saying,
    “Rabbi Aharon Sorasky, the distinguished author and scholar,
    gathered and organized the material into a justly acclaimed
    Ohr Elchonon in Hebrew. Its accurate portrayal of my father’s character,
    accomplishents, and teachings is an eloquent tribute
    to Rabbi Sorasky’s understanding and skill.”[4]

    Rabbi Gedalia Anemer, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva of Greater Washington,
    called Rabbi Sorasky’s biography on Rabbi Yekusiel Yehuda Halberstam,
    Lapid HaEsh, “an exceptional work which portrays the life of the great tzadik
    and his many contributions to Klal Yisrael (the Jewish people).”[5]

    Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz was the founder of Torah U’Mesorah
    and became principal of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas in year 1921 CE.
    His career in Yeshiva Torah Vodaas lasted 25 years.

    He was known as “the premier architect of Torah in American history.”
    He left this world in 1948 CE at the age of 62 years.

    The quote shown below is from his English-language biography.

    ===============================

    In a conversation with the Satmar Rav, shortly after his talk
    on the U.N. declaration, Reb Shraga Feivel [Mendlowitz]
    was subjected to the sharpest criticism for his “Zionist leanings.”

    Later he told his family, “I could have answered him
    [the Satmar Rav] Chazal for Chazal, Midrash for Midrash,
    but I did not want to incur his wrath,
    for he is a great man and a tzaddik.”

    He added with a twinkle, “And besides, he has a fiery temper”…

    In every Jew, he explained, there is a spark of kedushah
    (holiness) – dos pintele Yid – which is his inheritance from
    the Avos [Patriarchs]. Every Jew is both an individual
    and as part of the collective body of Israel.

    As long as he does not sever his bonds to the nation,
    that little spark is not extinguished,
    no matter how numerous his sins.

    Divine Providence might have arranged that the secular
    Zionists play a major role in the redemption of Eretz Yisrael

    Judge Judy renders verdict on NY v. Trump case: ‘Nonsense’

    ======================================

    Judge Judy Sheindlin has delivered a verdict on Manhattan
    District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s successful prosecution of
    former President Trump, calling the case “nonsense.”

    The famous TV arbiter told CNN host Chris Wallace that
    as a “taxpayer in this country,” she resents Bragg for
    “using the system for your own personal self-aggrandizement.”

    “And that’s what you think the DA did in Manhattan?”
    Wallace asked in an interview that streamed Friday on Max.

    “That’s what I think. I mean, if you look — you
    had to twist yourself into a pretzel to figure out
    what the crime was,” said [Judy] Sheindlin.

    A jury convicted former President Trump last month
    on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records
    during his 2016 campaign to conceal a $130,000
    payment to Stormy Daniels, a pornographic performer,
    to silence her about an alleged affair with Trump in 2006.

    If I remember correctly, any American wife can get a Domestic Violence Restraining Order
    against her husband, without any evidence of wrongdoing,
    and without any witnesses that a wrongdoing occurred.

    The wife’s accusation against her husband must be immediately
    accepted as true by police, without evidence, and without witnesses,

    Dear Lakewhut,

    So far, nobody has commented on this discussion
    that you started, probably because your topic is too
    vague, and most people do not really understand
    what you are trying to say. You must be more specific.

    As for me, I have not listened to one minute of music
    over the past 250 days, because of the great suffering
    of our people in our holy land.

    I am not only talking about the hostages.

    I am also talking about the many soldiers who were
    recently killed, producing more that 200 new widows
    and hundreds of new orphans. Many of the recently
    killed soldiers were religious Jews, who observed
    Shabbat and prayed every day with an Orthodox minyan.

    Since many of the recently killed soldiers were in
    their 20s and 30s, many of them had parents who
    are still alive. Their suffering is beyond all measure.

    In addition to the dead soldiers, many have been
    injured, some of them with permanent injuries.

    Children are afraid, and the parnasah of many thousands
    has been disrupted, and many have fled their homes.

    Even after all this, the fighting is far-from-finished,
    and almost the entire world is united against Israel.

    The very-small inconvenience that I have suffered
    from 250 days without music is NOTHING compared
    to the true sufferings and difficult problems of
    our brothers and sisters in our holy land.

    The soldiers in Eretz HaKodesh are not only fighting
    for Eretz HaKodesh; they are fighting for ALL JEWS,
    including those who study Torah full-time in Lakewood,
    because if they would ever be defeated (G*D FORBID),
    ALL JEWS, including those who study Torah full-time
    in Lakewood, would find themselves in very great
    troubles and very great dangers. We are all connected,
    because all Jews are one body [Guf Echad].

    One hundred years ago, the USA accepted very few

    Then the left-wing of the Democratic Party decided that

    When Jews fled from those places, they mostly fled WITHOUT

    of his own party that views Israel as a “white oppressor”
    and “apartheid” state, and implicitly accepting Hamas
    propaganda about civilian casualties, he [President Joe Biden]
    characterized Israel’s war effort as “over the top,” and
    that it was guilty of “indiscriminate” killing of Palestinians.

    This was entirely false and remains so.

    But rather than treating the pro-Hamas and anti-Semitic
    protests that were breaking out on college campuses
    and in the streets of the nation’s cities, Biden seemed
    intimidated by the leftist attacks on Israel
    that were being echoed by the corporate media.

    =================================================
    The article shown below is titled:
    “The Democrats’ last ditch plans” and was written by Alan Bergstein.
    It was published on 2024 May 30 in www (dot) IsraelNationalNews (dot) com:

    I’ll readily admit that I try to regulate my schedule
    to tune in to every speech Joe Biden delivers.
    It’s not out of respect for the man or for the knowledge he imparts.

    With notebook and pen in hand, at each event,
    I wait patiently for him to come up with one of his
    patented fairy tales, start screaming or whispering
    at the camera, or merely just close his eyes and
    amazingly nodding off, while standing upright.

    Joe can do it all in the minimum amount of time his handlers allot him.

    Too much, and he’ll wander off script, imitating Buddy Hackett.
    In short, he’s a scam artist and out of it, but most of all and most sadly,
    he’s the US president. And we Americans are stuck with him as long
    as he’s still breathing, until Trump’s Inauguration Day,
    January 20, 2025. May G-d have mercy on us ’til then…

    But all the while, give Biden, this inane quisling,
    credit for his political survival savvy.

    He’s the prime example of a dangerous dictator
    masquerading as a victim and patriot.

    He showers us with self-pitying tales of his wife’s
    and kids’ disastrous automobile deaths and falsifies
    his son Beau’s death as occurring during the Iraq war.

    He not only proclaims what kinds of autos, washing machines
    and light bulbs we must purchase but also woos the support
    of enemy nations with billions of our taxpayer monies.

    He also now oversees and controls our formerly independent
    criminal justice system consisting of three letter agencies (FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS),
    to harass, prosecute and incriminate his political enemies.

    In short, he is an All-American, suit and tie wearing version of a Castro,
    Putin, Stalin or Hitler in our White House. Do not underestimate him.

    To our amazement, he has tyrannically persecuted, prosecuted and incriminated
    the main adversary to his continuing presidency, using our criminal justice system
    to openly attempt to throttle Trump’s campaigning…and has failed.

    Trump, forced to remain in Manhattan, where Democrat Soros-funded DA,
    Alvin Bragg rules, has used his court “off time” to roust up enough NYC
    and NJ supporters, to threaten the Democrat dominance in these states.

    There seems to be no prosecutorial way to throttle Trump.
    Legally anyway.

    So, with the election looming only five months away and with
    Biden’s brain and body withering before our very eyes, with Trump supporters
    coming out in droves and with the polls showing a possible
    national crushing defeat for the Democrat Party from dog-catcher
    up to the White House, what’s their next step, their way out?

    I believe there might even be a plan, a last ditch one; a last resort,
    to harm Trump physically. It’s standard procedure in totalitarian countries
    to exterminate serious political opposition, and since
    we’re currently bordering on one, why not here?

    We’ve seen the viral hatred exhibited by the likes of
    Dem leaders, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley,
    Bernie Sanders and others of their side of the aisle.

    And supporting their positions, the recent nationwide, well led, planned
    and funded street and college riots, awakening us to understand that
    they are very capable of untold violence to stay afloat and in command.
    And anyone, who stands in their way must be erased, removed, eradicated.

    We see how Biden and his party have already abandoned Israel,
    throwing it to the wolves.

    And didn’t the Obama/Biden team gift Iran with a nuclear arsenal?

    Sad to say, we’ve come to a point in time when our democracy,
    our acceptance of the rights of all to speak up and be heard
    is tapering off and is in danger of becoming history.

    Donald Trump is the lone one standing in the way of those who
    are both on the payroll and in the camp of Iran and China.

    His presidency would put an end to China’s growing industrial
    and financial dominance over the world and he’d stop the Islamist Iran
    from radiating its Koranic control of the Middle East and its energy deposits.

    These next most crucial five months will tell the story. if Trump evades
    a jail term in NYC and elsewhere, and if he gets free to campaign
    and tell the story of the plans the Democrat Party has for this country,
    he must be mindful that he is a target, a real one, for his opposition
    and must keep a constant security team around him and his family.
    May G-d watch over and protect him.

    On 2024 June 2, Mr. Elon Musk said this on Fox News:

    “If a former President can be criminally convicted over
    such a trivial matter — motivated by politics, rather than justice
    — then anyone is at risk of a similar fate.”

    JACKK claims that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas lacks any ethics.

    Even if that is true, how does that make him any worse than people like:

    Bill and Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and his son Hunter, Nancy Pelosi,
    Chuck Schumer, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar?

    Even if that is true, how does that make him any worse than Socialist
    Professors and college and university administrators who intentionally’
    spread hate against Jews and many false accusations against Israel?

    And also the “woke” / Social Justice Warriors of the MSM (Mainstream
    News Media), who also spread hate and false accusations against Israel?

    I mention these wicked people, because they are wicked people
    who would never be criticized by: Marxists, Socialists, Leftists,
    Liberals, Social Justice Warriors, Social Democrats and Wokesters
    — categories that probably describe JACKK very accurately.

    Combat roles are not the only option for serving in the IDF.

    There are also important roles in: feeding soldiers,
    distributing supplies to soldiers, helping the injured,
    listening to enemy communications, and Cyber Security.

    These non-combat roles could be filled by
    Charedim who are not in yeshivah.

    ====================================

    Tractate Sanhedrin, page 72A:
    “If you see someone coming to kill you, then arise and kill him first.”

    In our times, Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran are obviously
    coming to kill Jews, mostly in Eretz HaKodesh,
    but also in other places, like the Iranian-back bombing
    of the Jewish Community Center in Argentina in the 1990s.

    Therefore, we are not merely permitted to
    kill Hamas and Hezbollah before they kill more Jews;
    we are obligated to do so, the same way we are
    obligated to wear tefillin shel yad and tefillin shel rosh.

    Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz was the founder of Torah U’Mesorah
    and became principal of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas in year 1921 CE.
    His career in Yeshiva Torah Vodaas lasted 25 years.
    He was known as “the premier architect of Torah in American history.”
    He left this world in 1948 CE at the age of 62 years.

    The quote shown below is from the biography of
    Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz that
    Yonoson Rosenblum wrote for Artscroll / Mesorah:

    =====================================

    Hearing his criticisms of Zionism, someone once told him
    [Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz],
    “I too hate the Zionists. They should be cursed.”

    “Chas v’chalilah (Heaven forbid)!” Reb Shraga Feivel [Mendlowitz] interjected.

    “To the contrary: They should be blessed, along with all those who are
    building up our Holy Land. I only pray that they observe mitzvos.

    But chalilah to curse or hate them. They are tinokos shenish’bu
    (people who never received a Jewish education and so were led astray).”

    When Donald Trump was USA President, the USA had Israel’s back.

    When Joe Biden was USA President, the USA stabbed Israel in the back.

    But PLEASE, don’t let that stop you from voting for Joe Biden,
    because Jews always have to be the only people on Earth
    who always love and help their enemies.

    The Democratic Party does NOT have wise policies that benefit America.

    On the contrary, the Democratic Party is dominated by neo-Marxist
    radicals whose goal is to destroy the USA and its allies, especially Israel.

    If you watch the Democratic Party closely, you will see that almost all
    of them get elected the same way: by bribing the voters with “Free Stuff”.
    They are literally buying votes with “Free Stuff”.

    But the “Free Stuff” that they use to buy votes is not really free.
    It is all paid for, by the unfortunate taxpayers.

    Or they pay for “Free Stuff” by printing more money,
    which causes inflation, which reduces the value of every dollar.

    Inflation is a sneaky way of taxing people, because it does not
    require any legislation by Congress, and is often deniable.

    Last but not least, the Democratic Party is dominated by neo-Marxist
    radicals whose attitude towards Israel and American Jews is 100%
    pure hate and malice. They will never be satisfied, until they use
    the power of government to confiscate ALL Jewish possessions:
    bank accounts, real estate, stocks, bonds, businesses, EVERYTHING!!

    Amazingly, Jews continue to vote for the Democratic Party,
    even though the Democratic Party is filled with pure hate
    and malice against Israel and American Jews.

    Dear Jackk,

    I see that you have a negative attitude towards Mr. Elon Musk,
    even though he immigrated to the USA legally, and even though
    he works very hard, and employs thousands of people,
    with high-paying, full-time jobs.

    Amazingly, you seem to NEVER criticize 10 million ILLEGAL ALIENS,
    and the wicked USA President who intentionally violates the law
    by permitted them to enter the USA.

    You seem to NEVER criticize 10 million ILLEGAL ALIENS, even though
    many of them have criminal records in their countries of origin,
    and even though some of them are spies or terrorists,
    and even though they have NEVER been tested for contagious diseases,
    and even though most of them live from government benefits,
    thereby inflicting incalculable costs on the unfortunate taxpayers.

    Entire hospitals have have closed-down completely
    and have closed-down permanently, because of the
    overwhelming burden created by 10 million ILLEGAL ALIENS

    As I write these words, I expect that you will *** NEVER *** listen
    to anything I say, and you will *** NEVER *** change your opinion,
    not even by one millimeter. But I do not write for your benefit.
    I write for the benefit of The Jewish People, as a whole nation.

    Each democracy is as good as the candidates who run for
    elected office and the voters who elect the candidates.

    When the candidates who run for elected office are:
    honest, intelligent, wise, sincere, honorable people,
    then democracy is great,

    When the candidates who run for elected office are:
    dishonest, stupid, foolish, insincere, dishonorable people,
    then democracy is in big trouble,
