2/ The rabbi for the Orthodox Union's Jewish Learning Initiative on campus sent the WhatsApp message this morning at 7:29 a.m. to his WhatsApp group of 293 mostly Orthodox Jewish students. It was his own personal statement, not that of the college or Hillel.
3/ Sent in response, he says, to "just horrific" videos of "protesters on campus calling for Jews to be killed, just off campus Jews being yelled at to 'go back to Poland', text messages I'm getting constantly from Jewish students about how unsafe they feel.”
4/ “I thought it important to state the severity of the situation."

‘Twas the night before Christmas
At Nakatomi Tower
When our story of homecoming
Begins with brute power
At Los Angeles airport, meet our savior, McClane;
With toys for his kids he disembarks from his plane.
To not see that this tale’s about Christmas is folly;
Did I mention that Mrs. McClane’s name is Holly?
“How 'bout some Christmas music?” McClane asks of Argyle.
“That *is* Christmas music,” the driver says with a smile.
Reuniting with Holly, John’s goal is shared with shy laughter;
A holiday miracle to last ever after. Image

DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Not guilty.
2/After the prosecution asserted a possible conflict of interest regarding one of Trump's attorneys, the judge said "Mr. Trump, as you know, you have an absolute right to conflict-free representation... do you understand that right, Mr. Trump?"

DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP: Yes.

A grim and solemn milestone today: The Bush administration's "shock and awe" continuous bombing campaign of Iraq began on this day 20 years ago.
More than 4,700 U.S. and allied troops and more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians were killed in that conflict.
