Merry Christmas to all!
THIS WEEK’S NEWS
The House has voted to impeach President Trump. The
historical significance of this event lies in the fact that, until now, no president
has ever been impeached without some allegation that he committed a crime. This
was also the first impeachment proceeding that had no support in the House from
a single member of the president’s party.

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Rabbi Dov Fischer
12/20
Those pathological haters and congenital liars impeached not
only President Trump on Wednesday night. They impeached us. This time it
is personal. That is my vote they are trying to take away. As an
Orthodox Jew, I know plenty about governments taking away my vote. Rome did it
to me in Talmudic times. Western Europe did it to me in the Medieval ages. The
Ottoman Sultan did it to me. Sheiks did it to me. The Tsar did it to me. Hitler
did it to me. Stalin did it to me. Damned if I am going to let a mob of
socialist and lying Democrats do it to me. The muck stops here.
For four years, polling has documented that the president’s
strongest support demographic is America’s Orthodox Jews. The support runs
between 70 percent in radical Los Angeles to 90 percent most everywhere else…Much
of that support stems from a deep affinity with his stands on the whole gamut
of traditional American cultural and social issues. Many faithful Christians,
including devout and committed Catholics, small business owners, and
working-class households with traditional values in the heartland between the
two coasts all feel the same, determined to rush in to protect this president’s
back. Mr. President, you are not alone.
The corrupt Democrat impeachment charade now, for the first
time, has made their three-year war against Trump personal for his
backers, too. We now have “skin in the game” — because the Democrats not only
are trying to nullify him but also to nullify us, to annul our 63
million ballots and 304 electoral votes, our role at the heart of the
American process…The toxic Democrats and their Corrupt Journalist Corps voted,
with defections, to steal our votes and our election. Now it is personal as it
never before has been for Trump backers. His poll numbers have survived
Pelosi’s gambit magnificently, and we now support him more passionately than
ever. Here’s why.
America First: We are
deep America Firsters…We do not care that vile haters a century ago used the
“America First” slogan to incite xenophobia because we focus on the different
contexts of then and now. Words and terms change meanings over time.….We
despise the Left’s obsession with Colin Kaepernick and the troglodytic
multi-millionaire ingrate lemmings like him. No Nike athletic shoes or outdoor
jackets in our homes and no more NFL football
on our TV. We strongly and enthusiastically support building the Wall. Why
should we not be enthusiastic about sealing off a porous border (i) that
allows the smuggling of deadly drugs including opioids that murder tens of
thousands annually, (ii) that fails to keep out animals like MS-13, and (iii)
that facilitates and even invites the most vile human trafficking in women and
children for unspeakable perversions and quasi-enslavement?
We virulently oppose the Democrats’ cynical effort to import
millions of illegal immigrants so that, having failed for generations to
persuade the majority of self-sufficient Americans who live here legally and
know the score, they instead seek to change vote outcomes by importing millions
whom they know will rely on Democrat welfare programs. That was their formula
in New Mexico and then in flipping California from the Golden State of John
Wayne and Reagan to the Homeless State of Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. And now
they press on to Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado. We are furious that there was
not a president nor even a viable candidate for president in the past
half century — and that includes Bush, the other Bush, Dole, McCain, Romney,
and the whole bunch of them — until Trump who frontally would try stopping the
surge of illegal immigrants…..
America’s Traditional Culture, Values, and History Are
Precious. We Trump stalwarts are
socially conservative. For Orthodox Jews for example, our Written and Oral Laws
of Judaism recognize only two genders. Our religion’s positions on
homosexuality, transgenderism, bisexuality, and gay marriage are defined by
Judaism’s unequivocal texts. America’s Christian faithful share that core
tradition and those values. Orthodox Judaism’s position on abortion is that a
fetus is a human life after 40 days…. Our position on capital punishment is
that, in almost all cases, a person who takes a life with premeditation should
pay with his or her life……these are values shared by Trump supporters across
the religious, ethnic, and racial spectra. On issues of law and order, anyone
can walk through an Orthodox Jewish community any hour, day or night, male or
female, adult or child, and the only danger that may arise will come from
outsiders in a passing car or others from outside the Orthodox Jewish
community. And so it is wherever Trump support is strong, no matter the
religion or color. Police are not concerned for their safety when assigned to
patrol communities where Trump support is strong. We deeply believe that Blue
Lives Matter. These identical cultural values are held equally by faithful
Christians, working-class households in the heartland between the coasts,
married women and soccer moms, and Jewish conservatives…..
We hate what has happened in American education and the
degrading of America’s traditional culture and Judeo-Christian heritage. Many
of us Orthodox Jews who grew up before the 1960s went to public schools before
the widespread rise of yeshiva parochial schools. We sang in public-school
choirs, and that meant singing Christmas carols in school. Fine. My wife Ellen,
the Rebbetzin (wife of an Orthodox rabbi) of our shul, knows every single lyric
to every single Christmas carol so well that, for decades, she always would win
the “Name That Christmas Carol Lyric” contest at the annual Christmas party at
the office where she (worked)….America needs Christmas carols in public schools
and Christians wishing each other “Merry Christmas.” Go ahead and keep the crosses
on government seals and war monuments. None of this Obama “Happy Holidays” junk
— bah, humbug!....
The public schools do not need to teach ideologies:
cisgender, transgender, non-binary gender, the whole leftist agender.
They do not need public school teachers to hand out condoms or teach sexual
strategies for avoiding pregnancy, nor courses on who in history was gay, who was
straight…..Rather, the schools need to teach reading and writing and arithmetic,
hard sciences and technology….Just look at Congress to see what happens to
people who grow up without skills needed to balance a checkbook. And they need
to learn real history, not the pure garbage that now consumes valuable pages in
texts and jams kids’ minds with dross and detritus….
Teach the Civil War, too. Teach real history — the ugliness
of slavery and real racism, but also the heroic sacrifices of more than
half a million White people who gave their lives to end it. Teach about the
Revolutionary War. Teach about real sacrifice like Nathan Hale and about the
rich White men who signed a Declaration of Independence that guaranteed their
deaths and the confiscation of all their enormous wealth if the Revolution had
failed. When a young person really learns about what a real American
Congress once was when it was made of greatness, he or she instantly will
perceive the sham impostors of today’s House who pledge neither their lives nor
their fortunes — and who have no sacred honor to pledge anyway….
We voted for Trump because he was the first since Reagan —
and truly even better than Reagan — who spoke our language, gave voice to our
values, and truly had demonstrated that he has the executive skills, drive, and
determination to keep the promises he made. We knew there was a terribly
expanding Swamp that was subverting our democratic republic from within, but
neither he nor we realized how deep and all-pervasive it had become. We knew
the Swamp had grown to implement its own agenda, impervious to “interference”
or “meddling” by the office-holders actually elected by the American people. We
watched the Swamp consume everything from the Democrat hedges to the Republican
Bushes, subverting and controlling everything from domestic economics to energy
and environmental policy, from bank lending to education policy to foreign
affairs. We knew it had overtaken the State Department, for example, but most
of us had no idea how deeply it even had entrenched itself within agencies of
the Justice Department, like the FBI.
Donald Trump dared to take them on. Our 304 electoral votes
gave him our Constitution’s most sacred authority to do so. Now the Pelosi
House has voted to impeach us, too, to cancel our votes. President Trump has had
our backs, and now we have his because this time it is personal — for us,
too.

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
“Speaker Pelosi suggested that House Democrats may be too
afraid to even transmit their shoddy work product to the Senate. The prosecutors
are getting cold feet in front of the entire country and second-guessing
whether they even want to go to trial. They said impeachment was so urgent that
it could not even wait for due process but now they’re content to sit on their
hands. It is comical.”

Conservative Washington DC is shocked: Tucker Carlson calls out establishment

Tucker interviewed this British firefighter, trade union
activist, and pro-Brexit campaigner on the UK vote: “(The People) want politicians to respect
their way of life, and their sense of place and belonging; to elevate
real-world concepts such as work, family and community over nebulous constructs
like ‘diversity’, ‘equality’ and ‘inclusivity’. By immersing itself in the
destructive creed of identity politics and championing policies such as open
borders, Labour placed itself on a completely different wavelength to millions
across provincial Britain without whose support it simply could not win power.
In the end, Labour was losing a cultural war that it didn’t even realize it was
fighting….is this the end for Labour?”

“Attempting to subvert the will of the people (as expressed

cloth is not merely a breach of decorum, a "mistake," or
"wrong-headed.” It's sedition.” The Democrats are engaged in a coup. What do
we do about it?

“The Danes have put extra resources into controlling the
country's links to Sweden because of bombs going off in Denmark due to people
coming from Sweden. The people from Sweden are Islamist criminals. The Swedish
government reacted to the Danish move by calling the Danes Nazis. Swedish
society has changed for the worse, and the Swedish people are aware of what
they have lost. All this is known, but what is interesting is that a former
head of the Swedish truck-maker Scania, a Mr. Leif Ostling, has said Sweden is
headed for civil war because of the problem of its violent migrants who have no

Sharyl Attkisson explains why one FISA warrant on one person
can lead to spying on thousands of people. “Through a single warrant,

contacts — "one hop" — and everybody who contacts those people or
even visits their Facebook pages or websites — two hops.”

“If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of
its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose
creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such
measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may
suggest and prudence justify.”
