Donald Trump Trumps His Enemies ....

Good God, free at last, free at last.

Donald Trump is now free to be president without the cloud that hovered over him since his election. No president ever faced, let alone survived, a probe as fierce and determined as this one.

Cleared of false charges that threatened to end his presidency, Trump can be forgiven for gloating and rubbing a little salt into the wounds of his tormentors with a jab about serving another “10 to 14 years.”

Naturally, the hysterics are hysterical over that one. They can’t even take a joke.

Yet Trump’s great victory is not his alone. The release of the special counsel report marks a day of freedom for all of America and sends shock waves around the world.

As Attorney General William Barr said, the finding by special counsel Robert Mueller that nobody in the United States knowingly helped Russia interfere in the 2016 presidential campaign “is something that all Americans can and should be grateful to have confirmed.”

Take that, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Deal with it, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler. You should be celebrating the outcome, not denouncing it.

''The Business of Selling Animal Parts"

A butcher just had his animal slaughtered and is busy selling the parts of the animal.

A customer approaches him and buys the insides of the animals for a specified amount.

The customer comes home and realizes that the butcher included the abomasum which he then gifts to a kohein as per halacha.

He now wants the butcher to return the value of the abomasum which he couldn't and didn't use.

The talmud on this daf rules that the butcher owes him nothing..... since the butcher knew that the abomasum belongs to the kohein, we assume that when he sold all the insides of the animal for the agreed price, the butcher didn't charge for the abomasum.

''Grapes That Were Grabbed"

There was this incident in a small town in the Galill where a vintner was cultivating grapes in his vineyard. 

One nice day, Roman soldiers came and confiscated dozens of boxes filled with grapes.

He came to the Rabbis to inquire whether he was required to tithe from the stolen grapes!

The Rabbis answers that it depends ...

if they just confiscated the grapes for no valid reason, then he was exempt from separating Teruma and Maasrois....

if however, they confiscated the grapes as payment for back taxes that the vintner hadn't paid, then he would have to tithe from the confiscated grapes.

The Chullin Song In Honor Of the Siyum of the Mesechta

Four Jewish Democrat Cowards warn Israel not to annex West Bank territory

The American YudenRAT consists of four Arab-Loving Jewish TuchisLekkers, Eliot Engel, Nita Lowey, Ted Deutch and Brad Schneider.

In the space of 48 hours last week, four Jewish "Capo" Democrats in Congress denounced Israel’s prime minister, two more Democrats wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post denouncing Israel’s prime minister, and 10 Jewish liberal groups issued a statement denouncing Israel’s prime minister. 

What a remarkable coincidence!

The allegedly spontaneous three-pronged media assault began with Representatives Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.), on the op-ed page of The Washington Post on April 10, absurdly accusing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of “sanctioning violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories.” The phrase “sanctioning violence” linked to an article in The New York Times that presumably proved that charge.

''Tuma Contracted via Ohel"

From all the different halachos that we learned about tuma and tehara (laws of contamination & purity) only the laws of being contaminated by a corpse apply today, therefore only a kohein has to be aware of his surroundings to make sure that he avoids contracting tuma via a corpse, the rest of us are in the state of tuma all the time, being that we do not have a Bais Ha'mikdash and have no way to have a Para Adumah, which is the catalyst of purifying all of us. 

So even-though a kohein is as tuma as the rest of us, he still has to avoid either touching or being under the same roof as a corpse.

There are 3 different ways that a kohein can contract tuma via a tent..... "tumas ohel"

1. If a kohein should cover a corpse like a tent....

2. If the corpse is above the kohein.....covering him as a tent

3. if the kohein and the corpse are under one roof.

Israeli "Meshulach" Infects 38 People With Measles in Detroit!

A man traveling the country to fund-raise for charity in Orthodox Jewish communities is responsible for 38 cases of measles in Michigan after driving from Brooklyn to Detroit for a business trip full of community meetings.

The Israeli traveler, dubbed 'Michigan's Patient Zero' by the Washington Post, arrived in New York in November, when the measles outbreak was starting to take hold in Brooklyn, and he stayed until March.

It took Michigan authorities a week to realize he might be the source - by which time, the Post reported, he had interacted with 'hundreds of people', visiting synagogue three times a day, kosher markets, and staying in people's homes. 

The man, who had gone to a doctor with a fever, cough and rash when he first arrived in Detroit but was given the all-clear, was 'devastated' when he realized he was the source of a fresh outbreak, Michigan health authorities said.  

On the night that he set off for his overnight drive from New York to Michigan, the man, who has not been identified, had a fever and a heavy cough - two classic symptoms of measles - so he went straight to a doctor when he arrived, the Post reported.

His concerns were dismissed. The doctor gave him antibiotics for bronchitis.

AOC the antisemite Latina Rep calls PM Netanyahu an evil Trump-like figure and suggests cutting US investment into Israel’s military

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu Sunday, calling him “a Trump-like figure.” 

In an interview to the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast, she added that Netanyahu’s re-election is a part of “the ascent of authoritarianism across the world.”

Asked if she believes that Netanyahu’s talk about annexing parts of the West Bank should affect the US policy towards Israel, the congresswoman responded: “I think so,” and said that “conversations are happening in our caucus.”

She also gave a surprising answer to the question if she’d support a move to cut military or economic aid to Israel when answered: “I think it’s certainly on the table.”

How Chareidie "Gedoilim" Systematically Destroyed the Legacy of the Great Harav Avraham Yitzchok Kook ז"ל

Harav Kook z"l with Rav Chaim Sonnenfeld z'l

Over the years, I have written about how Gedoilei Hador, who preached and practiced "machsom lefee" ... to refrain from talking "loshon harah" against anyone, .....looked away and actually killed "be'yadyim" the reputation and legacy of a "Malach Elokim" a "Tzaddik Yesoid Oilom" Harav Hatzaddik Hagoen Avraham Yitzchok Ha'Cohein Kook זצ"ל . 

In addition, early Chareidie publishers, and even the later ones like Artscroll totally erased and rewrote seforim and biographies that mentioned Rav Kook in any way because of their twisted political agenda!

How many know that Rav Kook z"l was the Mesader Kiddushin by both Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach z"l and Rav Eliyashiv?
Artscroll has autobiographies of these gedoilim and reading the books you would never know that.

How many know that the Kohein for Rav Shmuel Auerbach's Pidyan Habein was none other than Harav Kook z"l?

Not only that, Gedoilei Hador from our generation have already convinced today's naive young generation the perpetual lie that  Harav Kook z"l, was rejected by Chareidei Rabbonim in his own lifetime.
One cannot mention Harav Kook z"l in any context in any Charedie Bais Medrish or shul!

Enter Eitam Henkin, may G-d avenge his soul, who before his brutal death "al kiddush Hashem" documented the lies, distortions, and outright despicable behaviors in a detailed sefer!

I will take the liberty to lift some excerpts and quotes for those too busy to read the entire Henkin PDF file!
