    I’ll take Avira’s disdain for those philosophies that believe you can throw off the yoke of Torah and Mitzvos, any day, over commonseichel’s disdain for Bnei Torah, Talmidei Chachomim, Rabbonim and anyone he considers to be too farfrumpt.

    Mesivta Bachor: The link is that if someone is on that madreiga (and no one is saying that this nekuda applies to most people) then, as he won’t be looking at his wife anyways, there’s no concern about how he’ll react to her baldness.

    Yseribus, Powell was a leftist who endorsed Obama both times, then Hillary Clinton and finally Biden. To him, a moderate/centrist like John McCain was “too right-wing”. No true Republican would’ve selected Obama over McCain or Mitt Romney. He couldn’t tell the difference between the political right and the political left.

    Or better yet, CS should focus his criticisms on mechalleli Shabbos rather than on Shomer Shabbos.

    Syag, you have a strong tendency, many years in the making, of putting words and thoughts into others mouths where they don’t and never existed. Indeed, in my EVERY COMMENT HERE I specifically, clearly and directly only referred to those that “REJECT the Torah”, in those verbatim words! Yet, you syag, nevertheless, falsely attribute my comment to referring to anyone that didn’t reject the Torah.

    This is an old habit of yours. You do this to anyone you disagree with. Just yesterday it was Reb Eliezer that you did this to. Everyday you find another victim.

    Syag, wrong.

    You wrote “Everyone has heard how the chofetz chaim treated the yid who broke shabbos.” That bochor didn’t “reject the Torah”, which is the term I carefully used. In fact, that bochor was in Yeshiva learning Torah. He sinned on Shabbos for reasons of taaiva, not lhachis. Of course we love such people. And try to teach them to add help them to teshuva.

    But someone who holds the Torah is man-written, non-binding or changeable and REJECTS it as written by G-d and compulsory as such, him we do not love.

    The Moda B’Yehuda says those who read the Rema as permitting shituf for Goyim are misreading the Rema as the Rema only permits a Goy to swear for a contract using as such. But the Noda B’Yehuda states that the Rema does not permit belief in shituf even for Goyim.

    Froggie: Do you use the Hebrew edition or the English edition? (I won’t ask if you use the French edition.)

    P.S. So that we stay on topic here I must also ask you, are you a Yeshiva bochor?

    The Noda B’Yehuda explicitly rules that shituf is pure Avoda Zora when practiced by a gentile.

    This OP/thread may have set a record in covering such an extensive set of diverse topics (right in the opening post itself). Namely — vaccinations, Shabbos Goys, Covid, US cabinet positions, affirmative action, ingrates and military leaders.

    huju: Please identify what you imagine Powell gave Republicans. Certainly not any even minimally significant voting base.

    Offhand, some better candidates would have been Richard Perle, Richard Armitage or Paul Wolfowitz.

    Appointing unqualified people to important positions is a Democrat specialty. Republicans sometimes make stupid appointments, but Democrats rarely make a non-foolhardy appointment.

    huju:

    (i) His endorsement of Obama in 2008, alleging that John McCain was “too right-wing” (!! don’t laugh too hard) is a prominent example. That after everything the Republicans did for him throughout his career. Suddenly he made an endorsement based on race.

    (ii) Obviously evidence will, by definition, not be left visible, nevertheless an educated analysis clearly points to that based on the party’s need to have black cabinet members, military leaders, etc. to mollify the false accusations of racism. As well as the number of much better candidates passed over in favor of Powell.

    As Rav Moshe and Chacham Ovadia Yosef found it necessary to issue a teshuva on this question, and they didn’t typically get shailos from Chasidim, it demonstrates this question was relevant to the Litvish and Sefardic communities as well.

    Of course an “air show” is quite vital to the security of Klal Yisroel.

    They should have better used their time to daven or learn Torah, rather than put on an air show to show how big and powerful they think they are.

    RE: Iraq was probably the only thing he got right. At least the second time. In the first round, in 1991, he forgot to take out Saddam. Which is why America needed a round two to take down that genocidal dictator.

    “if those actions are not per se recognized as “ganavah” under halacha and there is no liklihood of being caught so therefore “no chilul hashem”. Or are you saying exactly the opposite which I think is what you meant (i.e. ganevah is ganevah).”
