Wolf: Are you trying to tell us that one wife is half the punishment?

huju: You need updated lessons in energy geopolitics. Yes, American supplies of both oil and gas very much DO impact the spot pricing on the international markets. The U.S. now holds more recoverable oil reserves than Saudi Arabia and Russia. You are still steeped in the oil mindset of 10+ years ago. America, especially since fracking, has taken the markets by storm. And the more America produces (something Democrats are keen on keeping America down on), the lower international prices will be.

Time to drill in Alaska’s ANWR arctic. And build Keystone. As Republicans attempted to accomplish well over a decade ago (ANWR multiple decades ago), but faced Democrat impediments.

Pass the popcorn, please.

moishala: President Trump, just like ever American, had every right constitutionally under the First Amendment, guarantees of free speech to lead a public demonstration, protest and rally at the Capitol.

Har Sinai

Dofi: We Jews ARE the natives of ALL parts of Eretz Yisroel, despite you so-called “Palestinians” claims to be the natives.

AAQ: The question is whether the increasing population in red states are coming from blue state voters, diluting the red state voting base.

Reb Eliezer, rape and incest is no more an excuse for abortion than if she became pregnant as a result of her immorality.

Are you willing to move to the other side of the Green Line?

Baruch Hashem!

Should I get a Glock 19 or a Glock 43?

Anyone with experience please share your feedback and reviews of the different competitive options that are best.

I provided the first hand shidduch story, as related directly by the protagonist himself.

Ronald has no chance against Donald in the Republican primary, if it comes to that. And he knows it.

Parenting style in the US was also like that until about 40 years ago.

In any event, in the US Yidden parent very differently than American goyim. And even within frum communities you’ll find vastly different parenting styles between Williamsburg compared to Lakewood compared to Five Towns.

The coffee room started in 2008.

Tendler met his wife in the New York Public Library. He then kept coming back there to meet her. He himself explained this in an interview published in the YU Commentator. By time Rav Moshe got wind of it, he didn’t have too much influence over who she chose to marry.

Is there a reason anyone took the OP seriously?

The main upside to a recession is that there is a virtually direct historical precedent that the party in power during a recession always loses the following election.

Democrats have also blocked drilling gas in Alaska’s ANWR arctic.

Part of knowing who to follow is to know who is greater. Godol mimenu b’chochma ubaminyan is an assessment that it legitimately made. And as Rav Shach writes – if you dont know who to follow, follow whoever is greater – and, he adds, you can of course tell who is greater.

If you yourself dont know, then thats fine – not everyone can know the answer to all questions they encounter – but why in the world would you say nobody else can know?

And it’s an error in logic, too, because they themselves compared “levels” of other people! i.e.: “Rav Ovadia Yosef is the leading Sefardi posek of our times.” And how would they know this if you cannot compare him to other sefardi poskim?

And how can one know whether “any of us are on the madreiga of assessing the ‘levels’ of other people” unless you assessed the levels of all those other people who said arent “on the “madgreigah” to do that?

If i were to ask you who is greater – Rav Ovadiah or Rabi Avika — would you say you cannot compare people? Rav Ovadiah or the Rambam? Avraham Avinu?

So clearly, we can compare “levels”, its just that to some, certain comparisons are “obvious” and others are not. Well, to other people, perhaps who are more knowledgable and skilled in assessing these kinds of values, other comparisons are also obvious.

Lord Moses Monteofiore once ascended to the Har HaBayis. He was then strongly criticism by the Gedolei Eretz Yisroel. He immediately went to the Gedolim and cried to them for mechila, saying he would never have gone had he known they ruled it impermissible.

The RCA has now found another wacky hole to jump into by becoming environmentalists? They find one left-wing cause or another to ingratiate themselves with the liberals every few years.

That’s absolutely false. EU bureaucrats are still anti-Poland. The EU is STILL blocking COVID funding towards Poland. And Hungary is the most pro-Jewish country in Europe and one of the most pro-frum Yidden countries in the world.

Never assume “mainstream” press reports are accurate. But your quote only reflects a difference between Poland and most of the rest of the EU regarding the sanctions agreed to. It does not reflect any profound conflict between Poland and Hungary.

hello99, welcome back! It’s been a long time, and it’s great to “see” you.
