ujm,
The reason you believe that the democrats are far worse is because until now the evangelicals have not been able to establish their religion into law. They have just realized that with time and political pressure, they can control the SC and do away with laws that are against their religion.
Just wait until their next moves.
We already had this argument and I know that you are not concerned.CA,
The Posuk that is the source for this Inyan is Mishlei 21:1
פַּלְגֵי־מַ֣יִם לֶב־מֶ֭לֶךְ בְּיַד־יְהוָ֑ה עַֽל־כׇּל־אֲשֶׁ֖ר יַחְפֹּ֣ץ יַטֶּֽנּו׃This Posuk might not be referring to judges and therefore judges might still have complete free will.
But, as we all know, Hashem runs the world while allowing humans free will.“Rav Bender trained his staff.”
That is a proof against your opinion.
Did all of Rav Bender’s talmidim suddenly purchase guns and carry them wherever they go?How do you ignore the fact that a Jewish girl is a orphan from both of her parents on July 4th because of an assault style weapon ?
How do you ignore the fact that other Jews were permanently wounded from the shooting on July 4th?
Be Mispallel bishloma shel malchus, or else , Ish es Rayahu Chaim Belao.
Carrying a gun will not protect you against a AR15 shooter wearing protective gear or even a small group of attackers.M1,
“jackk thinking it’s not Jewish to own weapons-ignoring every chapter of tanach”
Sorry, I learned TaNach and some Talmud and history too.Explain these.
1)Avraham Avinu thrown into the Kivshan Haesh.
2)Avrohom and Eliezer against the 4 Melochim. The miraculous dirt which turned into arrows.
3) Yehoshua against Amalek .
Vki Yadav Shel Moshe Osos Milchama ?
4) Moshe against Sichon and Og
5) Yehoshua against Yericho and Ai. Achan’s sin
6) David and Golyas
7) All of Sefer Yehoshua and ShoftimIt was never about weapons.
It was always about Closeness to Hashem.
When Hashem was close the Jews won.
When they lost the closeness, they lost the wars.

Rava,
You have police in the town, county and state where you live. They are ” big brother “. (We actually do not need to reference “1984” in this discussion.)
The country you live in has a military. They are ” big brother “.
They protect you.
Jews in countries with strict gun laws rely much more on ” big brother”.The Jewish idea is to be mispalel bshlomah shel malchus and if a county descends to ish es rayahu chayim blao to leave it.
There is absolutely no jewish idea that every citizen must have assault weapons. If you can find me a source , I would be happy to hear it.

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported:
Donald Trump removed himself from the board of his Sarasota-based social media company, records show, just weeks before the company was issued federal subpoenas by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and a grand jury in Manhattan. Trump, the chairman of Trump Media and Technology Group, was one of six board members removed on June 8, state business records show.
Among the board members removed were Kashyap Patel, Trump’s former point man in the White House; Scott Glabe, a former assistant to Trump who was counsel for the media company; and Donald Trump, Jr.
Trump’s Social Media Company Is Under Federal Investigation As A Potential Scam
Donald Trump’s social media company came under federal scrutiny almost immediately as his potential merger partner and Trump himself appeared to be running a scam to bilk investors out of their investments in his social media company.
Trump later brought in his son Donald Trump Jr. to fix Truth Social even though Jr. has no experience running a technology/social media company.
It appears that the one person that Trump has not tried to protect is former Rep. Devin Nunes, who left the House to take a job as an exec.
As part of an ongoing investigation into Donald Trump’s potential criminal interference in the 2020 presidential election, several of the former president’s closest advisers — including Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani — are being subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Georgia’s Fulton County.
The subpoenas, which were approved July 5 by the judge presiding over the grand jury, summon senior members of Trump’s legal team, including Giuliani, Kenneth Chesebro, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis and Cleta Mitchell, all of whom are believed to have knowledge of Trump’s attempts to tamper with the election process in battleground states such as Georgia, according to the documents. The conservative pundit Jacki Pick Deason was also subpoenaed.
What a tremendous coincidence !
James Comey and Andrew McCabe were audited by the IRS in a program that is supposed to be random and extremely rare.

Akuperma,
Are you explaining how we got to the situation in 2022 that mass killings in America are an hourly occurrence or are you saying that it is historically for our benefit so we will just have to continue dying ?
Why are the options to do only one or the other suggestions above?
Do them all !!!!!! Now!!!!
Improve mental health, ban assault weapons, ban bullets, destroy the NRA etc …
Why in America does a Jewish child go to a July 4th parade and come home a yasom?Why in America where they just banned abortions do they do nothing to protect tzelem Elokim’s already living outside the womb?
Syag,
I have no idea what your circle of friends discuss. But none of what I wrote exists only in my mind.
And since you didn’t specify what you are referring to, there is nothing that even needs a response.
When Trump is running for the Republican nominee and verbally assaults and destroys every one else, but still has tens of thousands of adoring supporters, you can refer back to my words .
Syag thanks for inviting me to post.
There are many fanatical evangelical christian trump supporters who worshipped trump in a religious way since day one. This goes hand in hand with their belief that America is a white Christian nation.
There is plenty of video evidence of this.
They had excuses for everything he did. Everything.
Trump’s life being focused on money and wealth and never going to church was not a contradiction but a confirmation that he must pray privately everyday or else how did he become so wealthy ? (That Prayer leads to wealth is actually a very kosher logic.)
They still have excuses for everything he has done.On a similar topic, there were even some Yidden who bought into this philosophy of trump being “appointed by Hashem” more than any other president of the US.
Somehow trump losing in 2020 hasn’t caused them to rethink their beliefs.
Why they do not believe with the same fervency that Biden has been appointed by Hashem is a mystery to me .
Hashem appoints every leader and Lev melachim are byad Hashem.Another boring 4th of July, where republicans can celebrate their love of life while watching their love of guns destroy hundreds of lives.
Let’s all congratulate the NRA for a job well done.
Republican tend to fantasize that they have all the solutions until they actually have to govern and show that their hands are empty.
No healthcare.
Insulin costs can keep rising for a drug that people need to live.
All drugs can keep overcharging.
Trump’s deficit that went up by trillions of dollars.
More wars.
More guns.
More americans dying.
No wall at southern border.
Deny pandemic.
Lose an election and then attempt by all means possible to stay in power.Republicans love Russia . Trump was Putin’s disciple. Let Russia conquer AND WIPE OUT Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania etc. Republicans would never fight Hitler in 2022.
AntiFa is a derogatory term to the republicans.I have asked many times on the CR for the republican answer to all the problems that they blame on Biden. Crickets. Or more fantasizing. (Like somehow surrounding Putin with NATO that never attacked him, was the reason for Putin to risk everything on an ill-conceived and worse carried out war.
Trump did not need the military to support a coup. He didn’t need a single military personnel. In fact, all the General’s told him that they are not helping him.
Neither Trump, nor any Republican, believs that he needed the military. If he did, what was going on January 6th with Trump being very disappointed with Mike Pence ?He was doing everything through a very illegal and unconstitutional plan without firing a single AR-15.
The plan, as has been stated a million times, and is very clear from the hearings, was that Trump wanted Mike Pence not to certify the legal electors that the states had sent him.
He wanted Pence to use the “alternate” (i.e false) electors sent by the state’s republican party.Once that happened, the legal atomic bomb that Mike Pence had dropped, was going to cause a legal civil war.
SCOTUS was going to have to get involved and who knows what they would have done. In fact, I am sure that Ginni promised Trump that her husband was completely onboard and he would get the other 2 Trump nominees on board also.Congress would also have gotten involved and we know that the Republicans were going to side with Trump.
Currently in 2022, the court (made of some judges who are supreme and many who are really not ) has just decided to take on a controversial election-law case. Depending on their decision , the next election will be easy-peasy for the Republicans to steal. It is the independent state legislature theory.
In its most extreme form, the independent state legislature theory was invoked — unsuccessfully — by Trump advocates in an effort to sidestep the legitimate outcome of the 2020 election. In Arizona, for instance, some Trump supporters used the theory in calling for the decertification of the state’s electors. Among those seeking decertification was Virginia Thomas, the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas.Mick Mulvaney, former acting WH COS:
Cheney’s closing is stunning: they think they have evidence of witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
There is an old maxim: it’s never the crime, it’s always the coverup.
Things went very badly for the former President today. My guess is that it will get worse from hereWas there a judge in the courtroom to object to hearsay?
No.
Because it wasn’t a courtroom , there was no defendant, no prosecutor, no lawyer defender and no judge either.Besides, there are a gazillion exceptions to the hearsay rule.
Gefilte Fish,
Please do not minimize Rav Moshe who was the Posek Hador and his psak by saying that current events has anything to do with it.
On the thread where I mentioned the discussion with Rabbi Tendler zatsal , it is clear from Rabbi Tendler , that Rav Moshe held that his psak on abortion was Daas Torah. It was Daas Torah in the year 2448 and the same in the year 5782.“In situations where termination of pregnancy is necessary to save the mother’s life, it would be offensive to claim that such a basic humanitarian concern is uniquely tied to a particular religion. ” ?
Great line.
You should check with the religion that has been demanding abortion bans before you answer for them. You might be offensively surprised.Israel Loosens Abortion Regulations In Response To Roe
The new rules, approved by a parliamentary committee, grant women access to abortion pills through the country’s universal health system and remove a longstanding requirement that women appear physically before a special committee before they are permitted to terminate a pregnancy.Who could have foreseen that?
GH,
Do you know the difference between the Fed and POTUS?Gadol Hadofi,
“No, inflation was high before the war in Ukraine broke out”.
Exactly. So what did Powell do the past year and a half to help lower the rate of inflation?Biden, unlike Trump who politicized the Fed, respects the independence of the Federal Reserve.
President Biden never communicated to the Fed what they should do. Never did he tell them to do nothing regarding inflation.
(In fact, if you are a Biden hater, you could accuse him of shifting responsibility to the Fed for inflation. )
Inflation is not an American problem. It is a global issue. Inflation in the Eurozone and UK is over 8 percent.
In April, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that it has awarded contracts for all of the initial 30 million barrels it put up for sale as part of President Biden’s historic Strategic Petroleum Reserve Release. These barrels will be delivered in May and June, and are the first U.S. sale in the largest release from reserves from both the United States and the rest of the world in history. Together, these releases will put more than one million barrels per day on the market over the next six months, and will help address supply disruptions caused by Putin’s further invasion of Ukraine and the Price Hike that Americans are facing at the pump.
Ujm,
If you never realized, sarcasm doesn’t work too well on the internet.
Bob,
I am surprised that the CR allowed you to start a thread about doxxing other tzelem elokims.
I am very happy to be on your list because neither me, nor any of the others, have done anything that you are accusing us of.
TRT,
The gas companies love that video. They love it to the bank.
They can raise prices up and up and up, and the republicans will continue to blame Biden.The gas companies already have enough land to frack on, if they wanted. They don’t want to. They are all enjoying the billion dollar profits that they are currently making while the America consumer suffers.
Finishing building the Keystone XL phase 4 pipeline is a republican fairy tale that it would significantly lower gas prices.Dovidbt,
Please tell us all what the republicans are going to do to bring down gas prices?

“That declaration of Donald Trump as the next president would have plunged America into what I believe would have been tantamount to a revolution within a constitutional crisis in America, which in my view, and I’m only one man, would have been the first constitutional crisis since the founding of the republic,” Luttig testified.
There is zero comparison between BLM riots and Jan 6th Protest.
Apples and Oranges. Es klep zich azoi vi abus tzu di vantComplaining about the BLM riots is a deflection and diversion to the JAN 6 Committee findings.
The committee is not setting down the law regarding the protesters at the protest. That is being handled by the justice department. More than 840 people have been arrested for storming the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault. Only around a quarter of those arrested—185 individuals—have received criminal sentences, while the rest are waiting for their trials or haven’t yet reached plea agreements.
The committee is examining the communications between Trump, his administration, his lawyers and other Republican Political officials who were part of the plot to overturn the election.
It has received verbal testimony, videos, texts , emails etc …
It has subpoenaed hundreds of people. Most testified . The few that refused, some of them are being held in contempt and probably going to sit in jail.Noda BiYhudah I, Even HaEzer 29

The reality is that Hishtadlus is necessary and Hashem gives the bracha for Parnasa.
AJ,
Did you even do basic research into the motivations of Roske? Or into the circumstances of his attempted “assassination”?
Do you judge everything by the NY Times Paper Edition? Or your local newspaper whatever that is ?
Did you follow up and see if there were further updates ?
Did you know that there were 2 deputy marshals in front of Kavanaugh’s house?
Did you know that Roske called the Montgomery County Emergency Communications Center and said he was having suicidal thoughts and had a firearm in his suitcase ?
Did you know that Roske believed the justice that he intended to kill would side with Second Amendment decisions that would loosen gun control laws ?
Do you know that it is not illegal to protest in front of SCOTUS’s house?
