How exactly can Congress allow somebody to take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States if they openly advocate for eradicating the country?
If the KKK marched down Fifth Avenue and burned a cross in Washington Square Park, I would vociferously protest. If one of those marchers were elected to Congress, I would call it an abomination and a desecration of our nationโs highest values.
That is why I cannot remain silent when an anti-American bigot like Darializa Avila Chevalier has just received the Democratic congressional nomination.
All Americans should oppose bigotry and intolerance wherever we see them, regardless of our politics or affiliations.
One of the most unique things about Orthodox Judaism is that many of us not only get married at a very young age, often 18, 19, or 20, but also have children almost immediately. By the time weโre 22 or 23, weโre already carrying the responsibility of providing for a family. Many people, like myself, are also business owners in our twenties, with a wife and kids depending on us. There may be other communities with a similar culture, but Iโm personally not aware of any that do this on such a large scale.
That unique burden at such a young age is enormously stressful, but it also shapes who you become. It forces you to mature quickly and gives you life experience long before most people your age have it. Around the world, many people in their early twenties are still studying, traveling, or figuring out what they want to do. Thereโs nothing wrong with that. But they donโt wake up every morning knowing that if they donโt earn enough money, their children donโt eat and their family doesnโt have a roof over their heads.
When people try to explain the success of many Orthodox Jews, they often reach for ugly stereotypes about fraud, schemes, or dishonesty. Others point to intelligence, education, or culture, all of which may play a role. But one factor that is rarely mentioned is responsibility.
When youโre forced to become a husband, a father, and often a business owner before most people have even started their careers, you accumulate years of real-world experience that your peers simply donโt have. Living under that kind of pressure teaches resilience, discipline, decision-making, and accountability. Those lessons compound over time, and they create advantages that are completely ordinary, even if the results sometimes appear extraordinary.
The amazing thing is that we didnโt patent or trademark this. Itโs not a secret that only Orthodox Jews have access to. Anyone can choose to take on greater responsibility earlier in life.
If you settle down young, build a family, start a business, or simply put yourself in situations where people depend on you, youโll likely develop faster than someone who postpones those responsibilities for another decade. By the time youโre 35, youโll have already experienced years of success, failure, setbacks, recoveries, and growth. Youโll have failed, gotten back up, failed again, and gotten back up again. Starting young gives you more time to learn from your mistakes because you have no choice but to keep moving forward.
When people depend on you, quitting isnโt really an option. You pick yourself up, dust yourself off, straighten your shoulders, and try again. That process, repeated over and over for years, builds resilience, confidence, and judgment in a way that very few other experiences can.
@LaibelWeiner Both the American Right & Left need to collect their flippin' marbles and stop flirting with Evil.
America, get serious.
Without a clear 180 turn from these disaster ideologies, we will not only lose a seat at the table,
the crazies won't stop until we're what's on the menu.

There are MINI MAMDANIs popping up all around the country.

It is a dangerous thing โ this is NOT a joke.

We are in a fight RIGHT NOW to save the Republic and EVERY AMERICAN needs to take this seriously.
I've never see Jews stringing up little girls because they wore lip gloss or jeans. I've never heard of Jewish rape gangs. I've never heard of Jews forcing their women to live every moment of their public life peering through a slit in a black sheet. Jews never blew up our buildings or beheaded Christians.
You have a problem with Israel. Fine, register your geopolitical opposition to our foreign policy with regards to Israel. But I've never been afraid of what a Jew would do to me or my daughters.
A visibly religious Jewish man, Avi Weiss, is fighting for recovery in hospital after a savage group attack near the La Brea and Wilshire Metro station on Thursday night.
Around 10 p.m., five assailants allegedly swarmed him, beating him mercilessly before fleeing into the darkness.
Emergency responders โ LAPD, Metro security, and paramedics โ rushed him to hospital.
Avi suffered devastating injuries: fractures to his skull and eye socket, a broken shoulder, shattered arm, broken wrist, concussion, severe bruising, and a shattered knee. He was struck dozens of times. It could easily have been fatal.
No arrests have been made. The investigation continues.
If this was an antisemitic hate crime, it is yet another horrifying reminder of the rising violence against Jewish people simply for who they are.
We pray for Aviโs full and speedy recovery. May he heal in body and spirit. May those responsible be caught and brought to justice swiftly.
Enough is enough. Never again.
@AriFleischer@itamarbengvir K...then why publicize his statement and give it more oxygen?
No one with good intent believes his is the voice of Israel; the rest are on G-dโs to-do list.
Meanwhile, let's bolster the leaders, the fighters & light the fires that chase darkness into complete surrender.
This is very confusing, but apparently Michael Moshe ben Shlomo might still be alive and in the hospital according to people I know in Montreal who are at the Jewish General Hospital. Let's hope this is true.
Please daven for a refuah shleima.
There are 500 million Arabs, 90 million Iranians, and 10 million Israelis. I hate to break it to you, but Israel is the resistance in this story. You are the empire.
One of the most powerful videos of Marco Rubio.
LEFTIST: "Rubio, will you call for a ceasefire for Gaza?"
RUBIO: "No, I want Israel to destroy Hamas. They're animals"
By the way: The Iranian regime owes American victims of Iranian terrorism over $50 billion in damages. There are over 90 judgments against Iran. Surely, our vice president brought that up in face-to-face peace negotiations.
From family source: Jewish man running away from the incident was accidentally shot by a cop. He died from his injuries. "The guy I got my suits from...I used to play basketball with his son..."

Active shooter and developing situation in Montreal.
Unconfirmed reports about two police officers being shot, and what I am hearing now, and I repeat, this is unconfirmed, is about Jewish hostages being held.
Anyone in Montreal who can tell me whatโs going on over there?๏ฟผ
