The #AsAJew crowd consists of people who on social/other media identify "As A Jew" only for their leftist politics and/or to pile onto Israel and Hasidim, but are publicly MIA on anything else Jewish. "As a Jew" Trump and a tweet from a small time white guy are bad. But...
those same Politically Leftist Jews are largely silent when almost all hate crimes against visibly Jewish people in NY the last 5 years were by non-whites. This does not fit their political agenda, so their #AsAJew tag gets put on ice. cc @bradlander@LizKrueger@JerryNadler
So... #AsAJew, I hope that @LizKrueger, @bradlander et al take the few moments to read the endlessly bigotry and hatred in the #ShapiroDossier as outline below. "But Yossi. The writers are Jewish."
I am a Hasidic Jew, and a subscriber to the NYT (and a half a dozen other information platforms including the WSJ and the CNBC if you really care to know).
My inbox 25 minutes ago:
I'm not going to waste your time to refute every claim, but let's just take a stab at the points inserted in the email. "Denied a basic education."
"Denied."
You can enroll your kids in whichever Hasidc or non-Hasidic school you like; you can teach them what you wish.
Next is the "basic" education line. From school pick up to drop off, Hasidic students are out of the house 10 hours a day, 6 days a week most weeks of the year. The writers want you to think that prayers and religious stories is all or most that the students spend their time on.
Con Inc'ers think that the GOP's electoral problem is Trump and Trumpism. Many former Trump fans are "just tired" of him. @IngrahamAngle said so.
I am not going to give you now data to make a case otherwise. But I want to direct your attention to George W. Bush.
2/ Late 2006 was the end of his second year of his second term. His first term was delegitimized as "stolen" by a 5-4 SCOTUS ruling as well as by his brother @JebBush who was FL's governor. Afew months into his term, a GOPer left the party; giving Dems control of the Senate.
3/ Shortly thereafter the terror attacks happened. Bush's ratings popped and he drove it to the historic midterm election wins for an incumbent party (in 2002).
But then the fun began on multiple levels, in no particular order.
Biden's approval rating is in the dumps; his approvals on specific key policy issues is even worse and his numbers against Trump for 2024 is bad too, yet the WH keeps sending him into the thick of the 2022 battle.
Why?
The more that the Establishment GOP and Principled Cons run from Trump, the more Biden, Dems and their media talk about Trump so the more the Establishment GOP and Principled Cons run from Trump, the more Biden, Dems and their media talk about Trump.
In May 2020, a mere few months into the lockdowns, @WHO noted that there have not been outbreaks in/due to schools. But nobody in the US cared. Lockdowns of schools continued.
Dems kept pushing lockdowns despite this in May 2020/
Germany implemented emergency rules to save energy such as that public buildings should not have their heat above 66, and that many public lights should be shut off.
A ban on heating private swimming pools is in play too!
Read from Reuters 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
2/8 The cutback of energy in Germany is a result of Russia reducing gas flows by 80% due to technical issues which Germany says is a lie (left screen gran via Reuters).
Well, ten days into the invasion, I warned that playing games with gas/oil will be a Putin play.

3/8 Saw my March 4th tweet above?
Great.
Right from the start, people called for energy sanctions on Russia and it got massive social media play. See for example this tweet by Olga Tokariuk: Almost 50,000 retweets and likes and this became the rallying cry.
I am not aware of multiple @HouseGOP's or @SenateGOP's who supported the few dozen rowdy people of 1/6. Many GOPs support those who rallied peacefully to the Capitol and/or who entered after being waved by Cops and/or through open doors as Dems did in the Senate during Kavanaugh.
Biden's rhetoric is another illustration how Dems plow ahead with accusations irrespective what GOPs did or did not say or do, so stop assuming that if only Trump didn't do X and if only @HouseGOPs did Y, then Dems will be stuck. They won't!
