This means stray cats receive the same legal safeguards against serious physical harm or cruelty as owned household pets,

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "Fortune Magazine published an article by a Nobel winning MIT economist telling us why the Trump administration will damage the USA.
1) This was his headline:

“The Nobel laureate who co-wrote ‘Why Nations Fail’ warns U.S. democracy won’t survive unless these two things change.”

This article is a symptom of what is wrong with the national political debates by university based “experts”. Why?

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "Every week they add a new letter.

LGBTIQA+. Yesterday morning, they added an “I” today.

Why not include more groups that have experienced or are experiencing discrimination by someone?
1) Add a “J” for Jews, as antisemitism has been growing on the streets and in institutions.

Add a “C” for Catholics, as Catholic churches have been attacked and Catholic values ridiculed.

Add an “M” for all the negativity toward men.

Steve Bannon’s fall from “chief strategist” to isolated agitator is not just a story of palace intrigue; it is a case study in how one man’s hunger for power, jealousy, and moral emptiness collided with the loyalty and

There is a handful of US states and large cities with so much debt that, unless they act to reduce it soon, we will see tragedy.
1) The States: California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Kentucky. The Cities: New York, San Francisco, Chicago.

You see, when one is in debt, there are limited ways to handle that debt.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "Some More Thoughts on the Saying ‘A Land of Milk and Honey’”

It starts with understanding the purpose of Torah. Torah is a lesson book. It teaches through the use of stories, allegory, and metaphor.
1) It connects the Hebrew (Jewish) nation to the Creator, and the Creator, like a good father that wants the best for his creation, to the Hebrew (Jewish) nation.

Obsession with Safety — A Jewish Psychosis

The Jewish people have a problem that is the result of 2,000 years of persecution, exclusion, and pressure.
1) To survive, Jews developed certain patterns of perception and choices that sought safety in a hostile world. It could be classified as a syndrome that manifests itself in several ways.

Not all Jews celebrate St. Valentine's Day because he was a 3rd century Roman priest who became a martyr. It is ostensibly a Christian (Catholic) holiday that became a secular one.
1) In addition, the Strasbourg Massacre took place on February 14, 1349, where approximately 2,000 Jewish men, women and children were burned alive or killed by public executions after false accusations were made that Jews poisoned a well during the Black Death pogroms.

Why would members of Congress search their own names in the Epstein's files if they weren't concerned about what would be found? If they did not know him and never met him, there would be no need.
1) When members of the U.S. Congress go into a SCIF (often pronounced “skiff”) and search a computer, they are interacting with one of the most tightly controlled information systems in the U.S. government.

Here’s an idea.

There is a perfect spot that all the Palestinians, all of them wherever they may be, can be sent to have a homeland of their own.
1) And it is a place in which they will get their wish to replace the Jews.

It is bordered by the great Amur River, has tons of resources, great farming and grazing land, and lots and lots of space.

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “I have been asked lately why I sometimes end a post, a comment, with this:
המהפכה היהודית ממשיכה

The Jewish Revolution Continues.

Simple answer, really.
1) The giving of the Torah to the Jewish nation, to Am Yisrael, is the only real revolution in human history.

It is the only revolution that changed the relationship of mankind and its Creator, established the principle that all people are equal under the law,

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “Everyone (or at least the mainstream media people) seems interested in the Epstein case as if this will change the world, more than wars, more than hunger, more than the injustice of some governments worldwide.

Golda Meir once said that those Jews who died in the gas chambers were the last ones to die without fighting back.

First, it seems she was wrong, as there are Jews in Israel today and around the world who would rather surrender to Hamas and Hezbollah and

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "It is time to bring back the 'Boarding House'.

Those that watch old movies, perhaps will remember what a boarding house is. But to explain what it is for everyone else…..
1) A Boarding House was generally a large older home or building where the owners, usually older and in need of extra income, would rent out rooms, provide utilities, communal meals at least three times a day, for minimal rent. Often residents would share chores.

I waited until I could read it and I am very happy to see a lot of positive elements, especially considering how in the past US-India relations were often at odds,

Nostra Aetate, Israel, and the Boundaries of Catholic Faith

In recent years, a rising number of voices—especially in online spaces—have attempted to discredit Nostra Aetate, the 1965 declaration of the Second Vatican Council...
1) on the Church’s relationship to non-Christian religions and, above all, to the Jewish people. Some portray it as a betrayal of tradition, others as the product of infiltration or corruption. These claims are not only historically false.
