1)
@rlefraim But what does opposing Netanyahu get his critics? I hate to have to say it, but often in politics, one must choose the lesser of negatives, rather than finding heroes. So, even if you now dislike the man,

@rlefraim Netanyahu, who has built Israel into an economic and technological superpower, who are the alternatives?
I am not talking about alternatives that no one is mentioning. There are many talented younger people who could do an excellent job,

@rlefraim I am talking about those who are leading opposition parties today, none of which is competent to lead the Jewish State to further positive results.

@rlefraim Gabi Eisenkot. Former General. Not a great record to say the least. A man who had his jobs because of who he knew in a system of promotions based more on “Protekzia” than on merit, showed in most positions a lack of initiative and competence.
5)
@rlefraim A man who rose in the ranks as described in the Peter Principle. He speaks no other languages well used in international communication, a handicap for an Israeli Prime Minister.
6)
@rlefraim Eisenkot was chosen by foreign individuals on the left, financed by them, and he is advised by them, a “Manchurian candidate” chosen because while he is not accomplished and talented, unlike some others trying to be Prime Minister, he at least cannot be accused of scandals.

@rlefraim Ya’ir Golan. A man considered disgusting by a majority of Israeli voters for whom he had only insults. A man who wanted a Palestine State established, who disparaged all non-Ashkenazi Jews in the most crude ways.

@rlefraim Naftali Bennett. Hard to understand a man who seems to change his opinion on every issue of importance to the State of Israel to fit what he thinks the media wants to hear.

@rlefraim But for the short time he was Prime Minister, he took State money to make his home outside the capitol secure (the official excuse) while also having his home rebuilt, doubling its size, and

@rlefraim never paying the state back for the additional expense in the millions of shekels. Some would call that theft, others corruption.

@rlefraim he was more tolerant of Christian Messianic movement interests. His campaign has been about making Israel secular and the rest of his principles seem to change with the wind. His one asset — he speaks well, as he has been trained, and a lot of people think he is good-looking.

@rlefraim So, those are the choices, people. Incompetence, crooks, liars, an actor that is not all that smart, not one that could deal with the sensitive issues of the international community and

So, think before you vote. Issues and competence matter."

@diana_bloom_ The Quincy Institute was explicitly launched as a transpartisan project with initial $500,000 contributions each from George Soros's Open Society Foundations and the Charles Koch Foundation.

@diana_bloom_ This "Koch-Soros alliance" on foreign policy restraint is widely reported as unusual given their opposing ideologies elsewhere, uniting around reducing U.S. military interventions and promoting diplomacy.

@diana_bloom_ See. George Soros and Charles Koch team up to form new think-tank
@DefiyantlyFree Postliberalism's core rejection of Enlightenment liberalism embedded in the American Founding—individual rights, church-state separation, and negative liberty—favoring instead state promotion of virtue, hierarchy, and common good,
1)
@DefiyantlyFree marks a sharp break from William F. Buckley conservative fusionism's defense of limited government and the liberal order.
JD Vance's alignment with thinkers like Deneen positions him as advancing postliberal ideas under Trump's umbrella,

@DefiyantlyFree but with potential divergences on foreign policy restraint vs. American exceptionalism and superpower status, highlighting internal right-wing tensions over whether to conserve or transcend the Republic's foundational principles.

@robbystarbuck Robby Starbuck Takes on Conspiracy Theories Surrounding Charlie Kirk’s Ass@ssination
Conservative commentator and filmmaker Robby Starbuck has launched a pointed critique of what he calls the “Charlie Kirk conspiracy machine”—
1)
@robbystarbuck a network of voices he accuses of profiting from misinformation about the 2025 ass@ssination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
His video presents the truth about the September 10, 2025, sniper attack at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
2)
@robbystarbuck Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at an outdoor event. Tyler James Robinson faces aggravated murder charges as the accused lone gunman; prosecutors cite surveillance footage, a note, texts, and ballistics evidence tying him to the scene from a nearby rooftop.

@rlefraim Based in Charlotte, NC, Truist is what was BB&T and SunTrust Banks.
In this case, Truist was, in my opinion, negligent, their negligence caused a small business to be in a lot of financial trouble, and Truist made it very clear that they did not care,

I have picked three examples that illustrate what is wrong and what needs a response.

@rlefraim Jennifer Lawrence is either misinformed or she is a pro-Hamas antisemite.
