I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
We have two separate nostrils because they alternate shifts to optimize our sense of smell and give our nasal tissues a break, a biological process known as the nasal cycle. While a single massive nostril might seem more efficient for maximizing raw airflow, it would actually drastically reduce your ability to smell, filter, and humidify the air you breathe.

I am actually someone who pushes to get out of the $3.8 Billion/yr aid MOU package to Israel. I want to see a more give and take innovation partnership, where we don't force or restrict Israel in certain aspects, which will enable them to innovate even more. Then, we can buy from them as friends and they can buy from us. Certain leaders, like Biden, used the existing deal to restrict Israel into doing what he wanted. That isn't true friendship.
However, just because I advocate for a new type of partnership that reflects the accurate friendship we have, doesn't mean that people don't need to be called out for implying that "America doesn't get anything from Israel," because we get a lot from them!
Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.
What happened next honestly caught me off guard.
By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.
For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.
I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.
But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.
After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.
Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.
This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.
And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." - George S. Patton
Wishing a meaningful Memorial Day to all. 🇺🇸
Today is our nations Memorial Day. Enjoy your day and take a moment to remember the true meaning of this day. A day to pay our respects to all those who have given their lives in our country's defense. God bless these brave heroes and their families.

A secular Jew asked me why I was converting to Judaism.
Why would a rational, educated woman choose to join an ancient people and embrace traditions that seem to belong to another age? Did I truly believe those traditions were still relevant?
My answer is simple: Judaism survived because of its traditions, not despite them.
What modernity often dismisses as outdated ritual is precisely what preserved Judaism when empires collapsed, borders shifted, and entire civilizations vanished. Judaism did not endure by accident. It endured because it anchored human life to meaning, discipline, and moral responsibility. Where others dissolved into myth or memory, Judaism remained a living system.
Long before these ideas became fashionable, Judaism introduced principles we now take for granted. It insisted that no human being stands above moral accountability. That power does not grant impunity. That compassion must extend beyond convenience, to the vulnerable, the weak, even to animals. That rest is not a luxury reserved for the privileged but a commandment binding all. And that time itself must be structured, sanctified, and directed.
Judaism brought order into human existence. It introduced a calendar, a rhythm, a weekly reset, a moral framework, and a sense of mission. It taught that freedom without discipline becomes chaos, and that meaning does not emerge spontaneously. Meaning must be cultivated, practiced, and renewed.
Is this irrelevant in the 21st century?
People still lie to escape responsibility. They still seek shortcuts in moments of pressure. They are still cruel to others and to themselves. And they still need to be reminded that life is not arbitrary, that human beings are accountable to something higher than appetite, ego, or ideology.
Judaism insists that above us is a source, a Creator, from which both our unity and our diversity emerge. Humanity may number billions today, but the Torah begins with one. With origins. With Bereshit. Because to understand where we are going, we must understand where we come from.
The Torah does not offer abstract philosophy detached from lived reality. It tells stories, human, flawed, and timeless stories, that illuminate the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. It speaks of jealousy, power, failure, responsibility, repentance, and moral struggle. That is precisely why those stories endure. They are not frozen in time. They speak to every generation anew.
Judaism, then, is not a relic. It is a system of moral memory. It is a civilizational framework that trains human beings to pause, reflect, restrain themselves, and choose responsibility over impulse. In an age obsessed with speed, gratification, and self-expression, Judaism insists on restraint, reflection, and continuity.
That is why the question of relevance misses the point.
If Judaism were merely symbolic, merely cultural, merely metaphorical, it would not have survived. And if it were irrelevant, Zionism itself would be unintelligible. What is Zionism without Judaism, without the original story, the language, the laws, the calendar, and the covenant that bind a people to a specific land and history? Why should Israel exist precisely where it does if Judaism is nothing more than an abstract faith detached from place, memory, and obligation?
Strip Judaism of its traditions, and what remains is not enlightenment, but erosion. Without obligation, there is no continuity. Without practice, there is no identity. Without memory, there is no people.
For me, Judaism is not an abstraction. It is not a costume, nor nostalgia, nor a political statement. It is identity carried through time, through exile, through Babylon and beyond. It is woven into history, culture, memory, and continuity. Anyone who takes a DNA test in the Middle East understands this instinctively. The connection is not theoretical. It is embodied.
That is why tradition in Judaism is not only relevant today.
It is indispensable.
