Trump Gets the Royal Treatment in England


State Dinner

 President Trump thanked King Charles III for “one of the highest honors of my life” Wednesday night as he was feted at an ornate state dinner in Windsor Castle — before calling for the US and UK to continue to defend “the values of the English-speaking world.”

Trump, 79, spoke beneath heraldic shields and knights’ armor in St. George’s Hall, where he was positioned at the center of a banquet table between Charles, 76, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who is recovering from cancer treatment.

First lady Melania Trump, glowing in a bold yellow Carolina Herrera dress with a lilac belt, was seated nearby between Prince William, his father’s heir, and Queen Camilla. 

“This is truly one of the highest honors of my life — such respect for you and such respect for your country,” said the president, joking that he would like to be the “last” American chief executive to receive two state visit invitations.

The remark earned a laugh from the King, who had earlier joked that he nearly married into the family of former President Richard Nixon in a nod to the “special relationship” between Washington and London.

Uber Gets the Green Light in Israel


 The Transportation Ministry confirmed it is advancing Uber’s entry into Israel’s taxi market, a move that would end years of regulatory stalemate and force a reckoning with high fares and uneven service. Minister Miri Regev framed it as a cost-of-living play: more competition, better tech, lower prices. “I’m the one who decides,” she said when asked about taxi-union threats.

A working plan on the table points to an early-2026 launch, pending the final regulatory framework. That timeline—reported across multiple Israeli outlets—signals a coordinated push inside the ministry rather than a trial balloon.

What actually changes? Today, only licensed taxis with a government “green number” can legally carry paying passengers at state-regulated rates. The plan being advanced would open the door for Uber’s model—letting ordinary drivers take fares—bringing Israel in line with much of the West. That’s exactly what taxi groups fear, and they’re saying it bluntly. “There’s going to be a world war here,” warned National Taxi Drivers Association chief Kfir Ben Zino, while Histadrut-affiliated leader Zohar Golan called it an attempt to legitimize “illegal drivers.”

Context matters: Israel tried this dance before. A court effectively shut Uber’s early ride-sharing push in 2017; Uber pivoted to taxi-only service in 2022, then pulled out in 2023 after failing to grab enough market share. The ministry’s new posture is a clean break from that defensive crouch and lands while its Special Rides Pricing Committee is already moving on a taxi-fare overhaul—another pressure point on the meter.

Expect turbulence. Taxi unions are mobilizing; political knives are out; and the regulatory engineering—insurance, safety, background checks, dynamic pricing rules—must be written with Israeli rigor, not copy-pasted from abroad. But the direction of travel is clear. If the government locks this in, riders get choice and transparency, drivers get new income lanes, and the old, sealed meter box finally meets the open app economy.

A Surprising Opinion from the Chazon Ish


Most rabbis of the modern era opposed growing a prominent forelock of hair at the front of the head—what's often called "choop."

The Tosefta  prohibits such hairstyles as darchei ha’Emori, a form of cultural imitation rooted in non-Jewish practices.

Nearly a century ago, one rabbi in Jerusalem took this very seriously. He authored a sefer titled "Da Gezeiras Oraisah" ("This Is a Torah Decree"), in which he argued that growing a blorit is a full d’oraita (biblical) prohibition.

But in a rare annotated copy of the sefer—personally owned by the Chazon Ish—a surprising handwritten comment appears.

 The Chazon Ish notes that the prohibition applies only if the hairstyle is grown with intent to imitate non-Jews. If it’s simply a form of personal grooming—then "there is no biblical transgression."

He concludes: “Those who fear Heaven should be modest… but this is not included in ‘You shall not follow their statutes.’”
 A sharp, subtle distinction—captured in the margin of a little-known sefer, by one of the greatest halachic minds of the 20th century.

Michael Savage Decimates the Black Antisemite Candace Owens & the White Carlson


Radio host Michael Savage went on an epic rant targeting Cadence Owens and Tucker Carlson, after the two commentators suggested that Israel bore responsibility for the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Savage tore into both of them, accusing them of twisting reality and spreading blame where it doesn’t belong. He slammed their rhetoric as reckless, harmful, and disgraceful.

The veteran broadcaster made it clear blaming Israel for the murder of an American conservative leader is beyond the pale, and he’s not going to stay quiet while so-called “allies” peddle conspiracies.
