It’s illegal for government employees to accept tips. Your generous thoughtful gifts to your spouses and children can be considered tips and are legal.
I’ve heard Biden answer questions and never seen any signs of dementia. On the other hand Trump’s vocabulary and sentence structure have declined over recent years. He has his unique words such as “biggly” , spoke about Yo Semite, claimed the American troops took the airports from the Redcoats in 1775, and claimed the flu epidemic of 1917 brought an end 2 World War 2. Trump also spoke of “tippy toppy” missiles. I hope they don’t tip over from being top heavy. Trump even forgot that he Kew Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal and in 2016 claimed he didn’t know who David Duke was although he spoke of Duke several years earlier. It’s well known among his former business associates that he has a short attention span, often described as that of a flea or fruit fly.
If it’s not dementia, it must be extreme ignorance.The steal is Trump conning his supporters out of money to pay for the election challenges. Reading the fine print on the solicitation makes it clear that very little to going to the court costs, much is lining Trump’s pockets, A question recently posed was why don’t Trump and his children fund the election challenge since they are reputed to be billionaires? Don’t they believe in the cause?
I expect the Federal marshals will drag him out in cuffs on the afternoon of January 20th while he’s yelling that he’s the President.
We need recounts in Florida, Texas, the Dakotas Ohio and New Mexico
Trump lost. He just can’t accept the fact that he’s a loser.
After Trump faces the numerous civil and criminal cases that await him when he leaves office, I doubt he’ll be able to run again.
We need a 2 state solution. Let the majority Trump states leave the union. Let Kentucky try to manage without depending on the Federal taxes New Yorkers pay in. Fox News could even be the official network of the Trumpian States of America.
Should I color my hair orange and comb it like Trump, and spray tan my face to vote?
Interesting comparison. Trump does use deception and is self serving.
What happened with the much hyped National Trump Day on Sunday November 1st? No media coverage at all that I’m aware of.
Oddly, I hear people say that if Biden wins they are moving to Israel after supporting Trump because Biden is bad for Israel. Now, does that make any sense at all?
Heshy and the other great minds behind the motorcade did it to instigate jeers and violence. It will not influence the New York state electoral vote which will certainly be for Biden.
Don’t worry, it’s not going to happen. Trump will not win.
ANTIFA stands for anti fascist. How many readers of YWN are pro fascist?
To those urging people in New York to vote for Trump you should realize that it’s nearly impossible for Trump to win in New York state. I have as much chance of winning New York as does Trump.
The Democrats brought you Medicare, Medicaid and the SNAP program all of which benefit our community.
Yvette Clarke has been an invisible Member of Congress during most of her time serving. Her claim to fame is her statement on a late night TV show that slavery ended in Brooklyn in the 1880’s.
Chaim Deustch is a sincere man who started Flatbush Shomrim years ago, worked for elected officials and is presently serving in City Council. We could do much worse than Chaim. If the community actually votes he has a good chjasnce of winning.
If elected the contest for his City Council seat will be interesting.
After his loss Trump would sit on the floor of the oval office, have a tantrum and refuse to leave. Ivanka would then take his to a psych ward where he woukd be medicated.
Assemblymember Helene Weinstein has in past years arranged for several dumpsters in her district.
Perhaps someone from the Coffee Room who has an in at the White House could pass this vital information to the President so he can announce it at his briefing.
Is there a reason that you don’t cite sources for this outlandish claim? It’s the kind of bobba meisa that one would expect to find on Alex Jones’ Infowars, a site with zero credibility.
Trump is exactly what we don’t want our children to be. He’s a serial liar with no moral compass.
I’m middle class and both this year and last I am paying more in Federal tax because of the Trump rich peoples tax cut. The $10k cap on deduction of taxes really hurts.I know nothing about this Koby Bryant. All the Kobys that I know are Yaakovs.
It’s possible using grama technology with an electric car but it could never pass government requirements for motor vehicles because of issues like turn signals and brake lights.
Local draft boards do exist in New York with one Board for each zip code. There are vacancies on numerous boards. Those interested in applying should check the Selective Service website. I have served on a draft board for over 20 years. I am aware of other frum Yiddin including Chassidim serving on Boards in Brooklyn. I serve because I feel our presence of members of our community is necessary We no longer have in person annual training due to budget constraints, but are kept informed of changes and receive online refresher training. If the draft is reinstated I assure you we are ready.
The Beyond burger with Swiss cheese (cholov Yisroel of course).
My first house in Flatbush cost $35,900 in 1974 when I was earning about $10,000 a year. Typical Flatbush houses ranged in price at that time from $50,000 – $65,000. Keep in mind the mortgage rates were 8.5% in 1974 and as high as 17% in the spring of 1980. Back then real estate taxes were much lower in NYC than in the suburbs but have now quickly crept up. Two bedroom apartments were available for under $300 in those years. A couple earning both minimum wage could afford an apartment and middle class families could afford homes.
I only have observations, not answers. I don’t see the end of the Flatbush community, but the graying of it which has more of an impact on the yeshivot than the shuls. Perhaps as large numbers of aging homeowners downsize house prices will drop. The young Sefardim are in the same predicament as the Litvish. Not all Sefardim are wealthy.
Yang is best known among Yiddin for his opposition to Bris Milah. Isn’t that enough reason not to support him?
Of course the Yiddin on other planets are intelligent. Why should they be different than other Yiddin. I want to know if they all have the same minhaggim and daven the same nusach.
Meno, when you get to Mars you can ask your local orthodox Martian rabbi this interesting shila. He certainly has heard it before.
Can you imagine to bloodshed when poorly trained well meaning bal habatim open fire in a crowded shul, especially when some are active in the kiddush club. Trained cops kill other cops in friendly fire accidents and use quite a few shots to hit a bad guy. Perhaps I should wear a bullet proof vest under my kapota.
Is plant based beef in cholent ok with you?
A driveway is meant to be used to drive into or out of a garage. There is also a “parking” pad which doesn’t lead to a garage. And of course there are numerous illegal curb cuts and illegal front lawn parking.
I didn’t write the laws.I is against the law to park in a New York City driveway overnight. While on the books I have never heard of enforcement.
It’s about the $$$. The conservative temple has dwindling membership and the school is spending $5 million on renovations to the school building. I would assume it’s taxpayers money. They are treating their temple as a business where the almighty dollar reigns supreme.
EMJC was late in adopting the new stream of the conservative movement with egalitarian prayer and musical instruments on Shabbos and it appears that these changes did not boost membership which has been on decline for years.
They should sell as the reform temple on Avenue R & East 16th did years ago and the conservative temple on Ocean Avenue and Avenue I did. There is little market for their brand.Sounds like a chumra we should all accept. Anyone who isn’t accepting this chumra interested in taking 83 thriving cannabis plants for the holiday season?
If I had followed that minhag I’d still be waiting. At the age of 71 the older sibling does no seem to be moving in the direction of marriage.
Perhaps because posing such a question here shows a lack of maturity?
I’m told that in recent times they haven’t even been able to get a reform “minyon” on Shabbos having only the female “rabbi” and 3 other women.
I doubt that there’s actually a lack on tznius on Central Avenue in the winter. Yankle should see what the “frum” women with shaitels wear in the summer in both the Five Towns and Flatbush. Keep your eyes downn once the weather warms up is my advice.
Sorry to tell you they are allowed to park on residential streets just like taxis are,
There are “parking pads” and “driveways” in NYC, Neither is allowed unless it’s at least 18′ deep from the legal curb cut. Curb cuts require permits and it is illegal to paint any markings on the city street or city owned curb. Parking in front yards is never permitted. The illegal curb cuts contribute to the parking nightmare in Boro Park and deprive motorists of legal curbside parking spaces. From time to time the issue of serious enforcement to crack down on the illegal curb cuts comes up in City Council and within the Buildings Department which is the agency with enforcement responsibility., and it appears that a new enforcement initiative is coming soon.
With your mouthof course. Is there any other way?
Of course I remember when it was TV Vues, Then as now I quickly flip through it one line Tuesday night just looking at the upcoming grocery sales. Torah Times, which started later and has many more ads, isn’t available on line. I dout that anyone looks at the TV schedule.
Ebay or any of the frum Yahoo groups
The question is why should there even be negative stories about Yiddin. We have a Torah and we answer to a Higher Authority.
If Trump wasn’t so inept , corrupt and offensive there would be nothing negative to post
YWN should report the news regardless of an elected offical’s position for or against Yiddin and Israel. Just the facts.
