The cheap hats they sell Purim time that look similar for the real ones can actually pass for a real one.

And to further your point, should we advocate eliminating or handicapping the financial fraud department in the prosecutor’s office since sometimes they arrest a Jew? Should we advocate eliminating or handicapping NYPD since sometimes they, too, arrest a Jew?
February 10, 2026 4:11 pm at 4:11 pm in reply to: Math Riddles for Dr. Pepper (and other geniuses) #2510763ujmParticipantDr. Pepper — In this case, you are the subject, so whatever crosses your mind is the topic. I would suggest starting a new thread on an interesting subject; I think there’s a better-than-decent chance it will take off from there.
Personally, I skip over negative comments as if they were non-existent, as best I possibly can. There are certain posters I routinely don’t even read, knowing their history. (They are on both sides of the aisle, by the way, though one side is certainly much more highly represented. Sometimes you come across someone who might otherwise be agreeable but presents themselves in a cringeworthy manner that your side of the discussion could do without.)
As far as your comments go, I’ve always enjoyed hearing your views on all topics, even if I happened to disagree with a point. You’ve always been agreeable, presentable, informed, and pleasant.

Your original comment above specifically cited the period of “1881-1924”, and that’s what I responded to. Now you move the goalpost and come up with a new period of 1898-1946.

May it be Your will, Hashem, our G-d and the G-d of our forefathers, that You strengthen and grant success to the ICE agency with a strong hand and an outstretched arm to uphold the laws of the United States in the way of Torah and mitzvos, and bestow upon them power and might to protect the borders and maintain public order, as it is written “and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.” Amen Selah.

In 1881, the legal landscape for immigration from Eastern Europe, or anywhere from Europe, was virtually entirely open. The restrictive “quota” system didn’t arrive until many decades later. In 1881, there were essentially no federal limits on the number of people who could move to the U.S. fromEurope. Modern requirements like entry visas, labor certifications, or even passports were generally not required by the U.S. government for European immigrants. Because there were no numerical caps, the concept of an “illegal immigrant” from Europe didn’t exist in 1881. If you could pay for the steamship ticket and were healthy, you were legal.
The Immigration Act of 1882 was the first general federal immigration law. It officially barred “criminals, idiots, lunatics”. But it did not restrict the volume of Eastern European immigration. So unless your Zaidy and Bubby were “criminals, idiots, or lunatics”, they were legally permitted to move to the United States without restriction.
ujmParticipantFebruary 9, 2026 11:45 am at 11:45 am in reply to: What will it take for the frum community to stop supporting ICE? #2509983ujmParticipantStop believing the fake news reported by the New York Times, CNN, NBC and all the other liars.
ICE is doing an absolutely fabulous job.
They are masked rightfully because left wing thugs are dozing them and invading their personal lives at their homes.
May ICE continue doing the wonderful job they’ve been assigned in upholding the laws of the United States.
And may all the left wing thugs and agitators interfering with ICE be locked up. The two dead thugs interfered with ice while armed, one with a moving automobile and the other with a loaded weapon, causing the law enforcement officers to fear for their lives. Good riddance to them.
February 9, 2026 11:45 am at 11:45 am in reply to: ICE Hero Kills Domestic Terrorist in Minneapolis Saving Lives #2509980ujmParticipantB”H Hashem has been and will continue to bless ICE. They are B”H still going strong in Minneapolis and across the United States.
And their enemies who seek to interfere and harm them are dead one by one.
ujmParticipantujmParticipantNo, there’s no toeles. Yes, it absolutely is the issur gamur of loshon hora.
But it is good clickbait. And sells digital ads. So the almighty dollar kicks the Almighty G-d to the curb.
In fact, the arkois goyishe court with the illegitimate woman so-called “judge” has as much credibility as the Soviet People’s Court.
ujmParticipantJews are required by Hashem and His Torah to both conform and to censor.
The idea otherwise is 100% directly coming from modern Goyish values.
ujmParticipantThe Rabbonim shlita can make a Gezeira that sheitels cannot be longer than, say, five inches, and anyone violating the Gezeira will no longer be welcome in any Shul and the community will no longer socialize or interact with that family until they come into compliance.
ujmParticipantujmParticipantYankel, do teshuva and everything will turn out alright.
ujmParticipantYankel, the ways of Hashem are mysterious.
ujmParticipantBravo! Thank you for speaking up. (Now expect to be hammered by the pro-pritzus crowd.)
ujmParticipantYankel, Yankel, Yankel, it must be Bashert that you don’t see the comments.
February 2, 2026 4:31 pm at 4:31 pm in reply to: Snow, Garbage or Other Sidewalk Obstructions on Shabbos – Halacha #2507224ujmParticipantMechallel Shabbos is absolutely positively NOT permitted.
ujmParticipantujmParticipantFebruary 2, 2026 11:39 am at 11:39 am in reply to: ICE Hero Kills Domestic Terrorist in Minneapolis Saving Lives #2506569ujmParticipantYechiel: They are masked for very good reasons; and they should remain masked. Because left-wing thugs/terrorists are trying to doxx them and harass them at their private homes.
May Hashem bless ICE and help them continue doing their work and enforcing the law in the United States.
February 1, 2026 9:46 am at 9:46 am in reply to: How Did Shimon End Up In The Aseres HaShevatim? #2506384ujmParticipantWelcome back, Reb Wolf! (You’ll always be Reb to me.)
It’s good to “see” you again.
January 31, 2026 7:50 pm at 7:50 pm in reply to: ICE Hero Kills Domestic Terrorist in Minneapolis Saving Lives #2505987ujmParticipantYes, shot dead like a dog in the street. A thug who has a history of spitting on federal police officers and physically assaulting their vehicles came armed with a loaded weapon, interfered with the officers law enfocement operation and then resisted arrest. Good riddance. The world is a better place with him gone. No other police officer will have to be assaulted by him or fear for their life from him.
When someone comes ARMED and attacks police officers he should expect to be shot dead.
ujmParticipantJanuary 29, 2026 2:19 pm at 2:19 pm in reply to: ICE Hero Kills Domestic Terrorist in Minneapolis Saving Lives #2505513ujmParticipantThere’s a new video that was identified yesterday showing the left-wing criminal thug Alex Pretti eleven days before he was killed in self defense by Border Patrol officers, showing him spitting and cursing at federal police officers. After the police ignored him (even though he was spitting on them) and got into their car and started driving away, the thug Pretti smashed their car and broke their taillight. He should have been thrown into prison then but he wasn’t even arrested.
Good riddance to that agitator. The world today is a better place with this criminal no longer around to assault police officers.

ujmParticipantBeing a “frum feminist” is akin to being a frum bacon connoisseur.
ujmParticipantYou are absolutely wrong. The sheltered teenagers struggle MUCH less than the unsheltered teenagers.
Every teenager should be sheltered from the secular world and all the crazy subjects in the world.
ujmParticipantSquare Root: Are you smoking crack again? I never said anything as such as they’re being idol worshippers. (Nor have I said they’re not idol worshippers.) Kindly do not put words in my mouth.
Regarding Mr. Chanaya Weissman, who cares what that Alte Bochor who nebech needs a Shidduch says about anything.
January 28, 2026 12:53 pm at 12:53 pm in reply to: ICE Hero Kills Domestic Terrorist in Minneapolis Saving Lives #2505027ujmParticipantSimcha: A criminal engaged in Obstruction of Governmental Administration and Obstructing a Peace Officer who then resist arrest (another crime) AND while doing all of the above is ARMED (even legally) causes the police officers to FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES (perhaps mistakenly fear for their lives in the split second moment they see he his armed AND resisting), thereby making the split second decision to DEFEND the lives of themselves and their fellow police officers against the criminal.
The reason all of the above occured is due to said criminal obstructing police and resisting police while armed. What happened to him wasn’t a “punishment”, it was self-defense by the officers. The thug caused this play of events. He shouldn’t have been interfering with a lawful law enforcement operation and he shouldn’t have been resisting arrest.
And even in the event in that split second the officers made an error thinking thier lives were in danger, the law explicitly and directly protects them from their armed response. It is possible Officer A yelled “he has a gun” while Officer B thought he heard his fellow officer saying the criminal is using a gun and therefore shot him.
The left-wing agitationist caused and is fully at fault for his own demise.
ujmParticipantJanuary 27, 2026 12:49 pm at 12:49 pm in reply to: ICE Hero Kills Domestic Terrorist in Minneapolis Saving Lives #2504460ujmParticipantSimcha: He was still resisting on the ground. He brought upon himself his own demise.
January 27, 2026 10:09 am at 10:09 am in reply to: Math Riddles for Dr. Pepper (and other geniuses) #2504168ujmParticipantP.S. The latest riddle is Junior High School level math. (The trick is to figure out what the equation is.)
January 27, 2026 10:08 am at 10:08 am in reply to: Math Riddles for Dr. Pepper (and other geniuses) #2504167ujmParticipantSo far no one’s (even tried to) answere[d] “The Infinite Line of Prisoners” above. We’ll have to wait a bit more for a real prodigy to enter the fray. In the meantime here’s another morsel for further cogitation by the other intellectuals over here:
___________________________________________________
The Interdimensional Oranges
A grocer operates in a universe with N spatial dimensions.
He has a crate shaped perfectly like an N-dimensional cube. The side length of this crate is 4 meters.
He wants to pack spherical “Oranges” into this crate. Each Orange is an N-dimensional hypersphere with a diameter of 2 meters.
Because the crate is 4 meters wide and the oranges are 2 meters wide, he can fit exactly 2^N Oranges into the crate (one in every corner). They fit perfectly snugly: each Orange touches the walls of the crate and touches its neighboring Oranges.
(For visualization: In 2 dimensions, a 4×4 square holds four 2×2 circles. In 3 dimensions, a 4x4x4 cube holds eight 2×2 spheres.)
After packing the Oranges, the grocer notices a small empty gap in the exact center of the crate, between all the Oranges.
He decides to place a “Grapefruit” (a smaller hypersphere) in this central gap. He sizes the Grapefruit perfectly so it touches all the Oranges surrounding it, keeping everything tight.
The Question:
As the number of dimensions N increases, the distance from the center to the corners gets longer, so the central gap grows.
At what specific dimension number N does the central “Grapefruit” become so large that it actually pokes outside the crate?
(Note: “Poking outside” means the Grapefruit is so fat that its radius is larger than the distance from the center of the crate to the wall.)

(This comment is about a sidepoint you made. Your overall statistical point is likely correct.)
ujmParticipantqwerty613: That’s complete hogwash and false. I’m no chosid here but Chasidim do not teach that whatsoever. You posted a complete canard. Furthermore, the guy from Monsey with the treif chickens was NOT chasdish; he was a bona fide Litvak.
January 26, 2026 8:05 pm at 8:05 pm in reply to: Math Riddles for Dr. Pepper (and other geniuses) #2504104ujmParticipantIt looks like all the geniuses are snowed in and having electrical outages (and their batteries burnt out). So we’ll throw out an “easy” freebie:
Find the sum of all distinct real values of x that satisfy the following equation:
.
(x^2 - 5x + 5)^(x^2 - 11x + 30) = 1.
(x² – 5x + 5)⁽ˣ²⁻¹¹ˣ⁺³⁰⁾ = 1
.
(Sorry; I posted the same equation above three times to insure at least one of them posts correctly to this forum’s software.)
January 26, 2026 8:05 pm at 8:05 pm in reply to: Math Riddles for Dr. Pepper (and other geniuses) #2504106ujmParticipantNote “distinct” in the riddle question.
ujmParticipantAnd the same you do with HaRav Elazar Mann Shach ztvk”l
ujmParticipantSQUARE_ROOT: This is rich. You’re a Chosid of HaGaon HaRav Avigdor Miller ztvk”l or do you just use him like a sponge when you need him but dump him like a rag when you don’t.
Like how you ignore EVERYTHING HaGaon HaRav Avigdor Miller ztvk”l says about the State of Israel and the Zionists.
January 26, 2026 3:43 pm at 3:43 pm in reply to: ICE Hero Kills Domestic Terrorist in Minneapolis Saving Lives #2503667ujmParticipantSimcha: The only murderer is the armed left wing thug who criminally interfered with an ongoing law enforcement operation against the police officers. He ultimately caused his own death when with his criminal activity of Obstruction of Governmental Administration and Obstructing a Peace Officer caused the officers to fear for their lives when the saw he was armed.
Sure, he was legally allowed to be armed. But not to commit an active crime against police officer while he was armed, causing the police to fear for their lives. They had a split second reaction, and the law protects the police officers in this situation.
Even if they were mistaken in that split second decision and they potentially mistakenly feared their lives were in danger.
