Lake Placid, New York turns Independence Day into an Adirondack celebration.
Family events, Olympic history and fireworks over Mirror Lake make it one of the most scenic 4th of July towns in America.
Tonight we saw:
-Mitch Marner record a hat trick in 6 minutes & 10 seconds
-Canes score 3 goals in 39 seconds
-Knights double OT winner
How can you not love hockey?
@spittinchiclets this release schedule for new episodes is brutal. It’s almost time for game 2 and we still don’t have game 1 episode out yet. To the minsies on the episode releases
@ImCollegeSoccer On the girls side, It’s extremely expensive to play ECNL and GA. So college soccer is becoming elitist. You have to come from money to get on a roster. This explains the meteoric rise in girls flag football. It’s still affordable. Some of the best athletes will be going that rout
Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis"
This must be shared every day.
Some beautiful words of reflection on the eve of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Hebrew year.
May we be sealed in the Book of Life, with hope and strength to carry us forward.
Challenge is Not the Opposite of Blessing, It's Often the Beginning of It
by Rabbi Mendel Mintz
There’s a pattern in Judaism/Torah.
A pattern we don’t always want but we always need.
When G-d wanted to make David a king… He didn’t give him a crown. He gave him Goliath.
When He wanted to make Joseph a leader… He didn’t give him a palace. He sent him to prison.
When G-d wanted to elevate Moses - he didn’t give him a stage, he gave him decades in the wilderness.
When G-d wanted to make Esther a queen, (in the Purim story), he gave her a crisis and Haman.
Time and again, we see:
G-d doesn’t elevate people through ease, rather through struggle.
Because it’s not despite the challenge that we rise.
It’s through it.
That’s how the human spirit is made and rises higher.
We don’t know what the new year will bring. But we do know this:
We were not born for comfort.
We were born for meaning.
We weren’t placed in this world to hide from its problems — we were created to illuminate and solve them.
And if, this year, you find yourself walking through a wilderness… or standing before your own personal or professional Goliath… Remember: that’s not a detour from your destiny. That is your calling.
May this be the year G-d transforms our struggles into strength…
May this year bring peace and healing to all.
L’shana Tova — may it be a good and sweet new year.
This is absolutely insane.
In 2017, Democrats sympathized more with Israel than the Palestinians by 13 points.
Now? They side with the Palestinians by 43 points.
That’s a 56-POINT SWING.
And among younger Democrats?
Even worse: from +14 Israel to +57 Palestinians.
A 71-point shift in under a decade. ‼️
This didn’t happen by accident.
It’s the result of billions of dollars spent brainwashing the public with anti-Israel, anti-Jewish propaganda—from classrooms to newsrooms to TikTok feeds.
This is how you get Zohran Mondani—a pro-intifada communist who refuses to even condemn the INTIFADA—winning a primary.
Because in today’s Democratic Party, hating Jews doesn’t disqualify you.
It gets you elected.
According to the latest polls, 13% of Democrats support the Islamic Republic of Iran and 52% are unsure—while 80% of Iranians themselves oppose the regime.
The Islamic Republic has a higher approval rating among U.S. Democrats than actual Iranians. Let that sink in.
NEWS: Hamas attacked a bus with two-dozen workers of the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation tonight.
There are at least 5 people dead, multiple other injuries, and concerns that others were taken hostage.
