110.06/ Cowher era #Steelers fans know that 51 is James Farrior's number and he was, as Kozora himself notes, one of the best free-agents to come to the team. 51 carries a great legacy; hope it brings good mazal to Myles Jack & us. steelersdepot.com/2022/07/kevin-…
110.07/ At first, I thought the baked-beans hash-browns were a prank, like the gefilte-fish hot dogs. But, evidently not. If they are served simultaneously, it could open a portal to She'ol, so be careful.
110.08a/ I learned so much from this video about the climate actions in the IRA (h.t. @What46HasDone). This is what Biden can deliver (b/c he was a senator as long as humanly possible who then served as president of the Senate for 8 years as VP)
110.08b/ Biden-Harris has had so many successes in just a 18 months it's mind-blowing. Anti-lynching, Infrastructure, climate change, etc. If the Red part of the horseshoe wasn't as determined as the GOP to destroy the Democrats, they'd be happy. But they are, so they aren't.
110.13/ Why call it an arranged marriage when you can call it a "shadchan wedding"?
110.14/ Any frum Jew who is upset about the *concept* of loan cancellation in the week of parshat Re'eh & in a honest-to-goodness SHEMITTA YEAR needs to go back to cheider.
Shemitta isn't there so you can bully farmers; the debt zapping is a cornerstone of halakhic ethics.
110.15/ Excellent context for that map going around
110.22/ It's a busy time; my son will be going off to Israel on Monday and it's an emotional erev-Shabbos. Like dropping him off in college but on a different order of magnitude.
217.02/ Due to a combination of having a maddening schedule over the past few weeks and having Twitter owned and run horribly by the Divorced Incel King, it's been very hard to write anything.
217.03/ #ChochmatNashim for #KiTetze 5783 (last year)
@ChochmatNashim.

Downloadable pdf with working links of Divrei Torah by Orthodox women scholars on the parsha and other topics of the week. 22 pages. drive.google.com/file/d/1TH6ApN…
212.03/ This is an excellent, spot-on, thread. I've said a lot of this stuff for years.
[I'm a life-long Democrat born in Pittsburgh & raised in small towns (Binghamton), rural areas (Ithaca), and the South (Memphis). Walz is a familiar archetype to me.]
211.02/ It would behoove this law prof. to learn about the Jewish law concept of "chazakah" - the legal presumption for what a person means/intends. So, um, Trump (ym'sh) fomented an armed insurrection. He wants to end Democracy.
210.03/ I had too many sleepless nights over the last three weeks because of the drumbeat against Biden b/c there was too much smoke for there not to be fire. What kept me steady was my trust of his judgement. So if he thinks this is wise, then I logically have to support it.
209.02/ Following the assassination attempt on TFG yesterday - an act I condemn; ballots not bullets - the reaction by news agencies has been unhinged. But I'm singling out The Daily Beast and Politico who are lionizing TFG using very disturbing rhetoric. I've had to unfollow.
209.03/ I'm furious that so many in Congress are playing this dangerous game but I'm reminding myself that (1) the MSM has been fabricating stories & amplifying mythological pro-GOP nonsense for a while now & (2) I trust Biden's abilities to handle this like he did NATO.
