Trump executive orders smash leftist pieties that kept America paralyzed

 


Donald Trump’s first day in office will be remembered as the moment when reality crashed into the leftist pieties that kept America frozen, suffering and hemmed-in during the Biden years. 

Let’s start with the central issue of the election: the border. 

Trump swung for the fences with big-time executive orders to end Joe’s willed chaos there — starting with the declaration of a national emergency. 

Add to that his moves to reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy, delete President Joe Biden’s insane border-jumping app CBP One, restart border-wall construction, designate cartels and gangs like Tren de Aragua as terrorist groups and militarize border enforcement. 

To those we say: Bravo, Mr. President. 

And while his plan to end birthright citizenship for the kids of illegal immigrants is definitely controversial (the 14th Amendment says anyone born in America is a citizen, and 18 state attorneys general have already sued over the move) the message could not be clearer.

The border is closed — and the president means business. 

Those moves are sure to roll back the waves of migrants lured to the border by Biden’s invitación.

Trump also went to war with identity politics.

Multiple People Stabbed, Terrorist Shot Dead; Was Carrying US Green Card was from Brooklyn NY ..Killed by a Lady

 

The terrorist behind the Tel Aviv stabbing attack: Kadi Abd al-Aziz, 29, originally from Zagora, Morocco  lived in Brooklyn New York 



He arrived on a connecting flight from Poland. Single, no family, no friends, and no hotel address. All suspicious signs. He was transferred for security questioning due to holding a U.S. Green Card. Security officials decided to allow his entry. A questionable handling.

The Lady that killed him... In Muslim culture being killed by a female is the ultimate humiliation! 



A stabbing attack in Tel Aviv’s bustling Nachalat Binyamin area on Monday night has left four people injured. According to Magen David Adom (MDA), the incident occurred at approximately 9:12 PM, with stabbings reported at two locations: Rechov Nachalat Binyamin and Rechov Kalisher.

The victims include two men aged 24 and 28 in moderate condition, and two men aged 24 and 59 in good condition, MDA says.

The suspected terrorist was neutralized by a bystander—a woman who used a gun to stop the attacker. Authorities have praised her decisive actions, which likely prevented further casualties.

The attacker behind this evening’s stabbing in Tel Aviv has been identified as Abdelaziz Kaddi, 29, a Moroccan national who held a U.S. green card. According to an ID found on his body, he entered Israel on January 18 – THREE DAYS AGO – using a tourist visa.

Interior Minister Moshe Arbel revealed that border control officers at Ben Gurion Airport initially refused entry to the terrorist but were overruled by security officials.

According to Arbel, border officers identified the individual and handed him over to security officials for further questioning. “Unfortunately, they decided to allow his entry into Israel,” Arbel said.

The minister has urged Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar to launch an investigation into the incident, and said security services would “draw lessons from it as soon as possible” to prevent similar occurrences in the future.



Rav Mordechai Gifter Zt”l On Eretz Yisroel And Its Role In Global Destiny " The world will continue to be turbulent as long as Eretz Yisroel is threatened"


Hashem said through the Prophet Isaiah (62:1): “For the sake of Zion I will not hold My peace and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not be still.” ​The Targum’s interpretation of this verse casts a brilliant light on the current world situation: Hashem pledges that until Zion and Jerusalem are peaceful and secure, He will allow no rest to the nations of the earth. The situation of the Jewish people cannot be viewed in a vacuum, separate and apart from the world order. ​

We are in the habit of scanning the long list of international crises and feeling that the situation of our beleaguered brothers in Eretz Yisroel would matter precious little to anyone except fellow Jews, were it not for the ever-present danger of a superpower confrontation. Energy crises, floundering Great Britain, Watergate and its threat to the American political system, French recalcitrance in Europe, Russo Chinese hostility, the sanguinary “cease-fire” in Vietnam, and the list goes on and on. People who see things in “perspective” are well aware that in terms of “the big picture” a few pieces of real estate in Sinai and Golan are of little significance on the larger landscape. So on the one hand; we are grateful that the physical survival of three million Jews in Israel is interwoven in the fabric of American-Russian relations; hence, it is important enough to demand the notice of the White House and the Kremlin. But on the other hand, we tremble in anticipation of possible Jewish sacrifices upon the altar of detente and increased petroleum production. ​

Harvard Settles Antisemitism Lawsuits With Sweeping Policy Changes, Angering Palestinian Activists

 


Harvard University has reached settlements in two lawsuits accusing the institution of fostering antisemitism on campus. The lawsuits, filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, Jewish Americans for Fairness in Education, and Students Against Antisemitism, alleged a hostile educational environment for Jewish students.

As part of the settlements, Harvard agreed to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. The university will also update its bullying policies with examples illustrating how Zionism is a central aspect of many Jewish identities.

The updated policies explicitly state that conduct targeting Jewish or Israeli individuals, including Zionists, could violate Harvard’s non-discrimination rules. Examples include excluding Zionists from events, disseminating stereotypes about Zionists, or pressuring individuals perceived as Jewish or Israeli to declare their stance on Zionism.

The settlement also includes plans to partner with a university in Israel, provide expert training for staff on antisemitism, and annually reaffirm its commitment to combating antisemitism.

“Today’s settlement reflects Harvard’s enduring commitment to ensuring our Jewish students, faculty, and staff are embraced, respected, and supported,” the university said in a statement.

Marc Kasowitz, representing Students Against Antisemitism, praised the resolution. “This agreement demonstrates meaningful actions to combat antisemitism, hate, and bias on college campuses,” he said, encouraging other institutions to follow Harvard’s example.

The settlements have drawn criticism from pro-Palestinian activists, who view the measures as controversial.

Coinciding with Harvard’s announcement, a bipartisan Senate bill was reintroduced to simplify filing civil rights complaints against universities over discrimination tied to heritage.

ReMarrying Your Ex-Wife: Is it a Mitzvah? Rabbi Yair Hoffman vs “emailing baTorah”


 By Rabbi Yair Hoffman

What do Larry King, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Pryor, and Eminem, all have in common?  You guessed it.  They all re-married their ex-spouse. 

The question is, however, is there actually a bone-fide Mitzvah in doing so? 

A recent and very prestigious email list entitled “emailing baTorah” ( a play on “Amailim baTorah – even its very name is brilliant) recently sent out a post that although most people think that it is a Mitzvah – it is not.

Respectfully, this author disagrees with the categorical statement that it is not a Mitzvah – but rather it should  be considered a Machlokes – a debate in halacha.
