    That’s exactly what I’m saying! That those liberal jews – i.e. Sanders & those newspapers owned by Jews, are the Antisemitic Liberals. They are eqivalent to Stalin’s Communism, which was very antisemitic!

    Ubiq -“Neither Bernie Sanders, the NYT nor the Daily news advocates for that”

    You left out why I was comparing the two.
    Those three are promoting Antisemitisim. It’s well known that Hilter YSM, promoted that Communism was created by Jews.
    Communism under Stalin was very Anti-semitic.
    From W. Churchill:
    “Bolshevism] among the Jews is nothing new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxemburg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing”

    In the US, being a Facist is very looked down upon, as witnessed in Charlottsville.
    While the liberal antisemites are gaining more publicity everday!
    Under the guise of promoting peace in the Middle East – they have resorted to blatant Anti-Semitism!

    From a website called Against Nuclear Iran:

    “Since the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal, Tehran’s ballistic missile program continues to pose a serious threat to the United States, its allies, and its strategic interests in the Middle East. Iran has test-fired nuclear-capable ballistic missiles at least ten times since July 2015, despite a UN Security Council resolution, approved along with the nuclear accord, which explicitly calls on Iran to refrain from such activity. Iran has shown no signs of slowing the development of its ballistic missile program, which is inextricably intertwined with its nuclear program. In fact, long-range ballistic missiles have historically always been developed in unison a nuclear weapons program. Iran has invested heavily in its missile and space programs and is making every effort to make them more efficient and operational.”

    In Tenafly – cops took away a car for Non-registration. The Commish ended up resigning.
    But the story should have been that the law is absurd or even a violation of Civil Rights!
    From a different story – From the Trentonian:

    “And then O’Scanlon took the registration question one step further.
    “Why do we even have yearly registration? There’s no need for that,” he said. “It should be good until your car is sold. The car is registered, the state knows you own it, why are we forcing people to go through this unnecessary paperwork exercise every year?”
    When I answered this obviously rhetorical question — “money” — O’Scanlon nearly jumped through the phone.
    “We shouldn’t have any rules or regulations put in place simply so we can charge people,” he said. “That’s government working directly against the people it’s supposed to be serving. Not acceptable.””

    What is considered normal is the Halacha!
    From NIH:
    “BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENING
    Have your blood pressure checked every 3 to 5 years unless the top number (systolic number) is between 120 and 139 or the bottom number (diastolic number) is between 80 and 89 mm Hg or higher. Then have it checked every year.
    If the top number is greater than 140, or the bottom number is greater than 90, schedule an appointment with your provider.
    If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you may need to have your blood pressure checked more often, at least once a year.
    Watch for blood pressure screenings in your neighborhood or workplace. Ask your provider if you can stop in to have your blood pressure checked.
    CHOLESTEROL SCREENING AND HEART DISEASE PREVENTION
    Men:
    Men over age 35 and older should be checked every 5 years.
    If you have risk factors for heart disease, such as diabetes, start getting screened earlier, at age 20.
    CHOLESTEROL SCREENING
    Women:
    Recommended starting ages for cholesterol screening are between 20 to 45 for women.
    Women with normal cholesterol levels do not need to have the test repeated for 5 years.
    Repeat testing sooner than needed if changes occur in lifestyle (including weight gain and diet).
    If you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you may need to be monitored more closely.”
    Like I posted previously:
    “Most authorities recommend doing lipid testing starting at 20 y/o.”
