How Do You Get Jews To Give?
Robert Weissberg comments: “A result of years listening to fund raising appeals. Take my word for it–if you want Jews to give, scare them to death and after a point, they confuse fund raising with reality. Been there many times … Continue reading
Tom Friedman: “President Trump, Will You Save the Jews?”
Comments at Steve Sailer: * When some future Gibbon writes the Rise and Fall of the American Empire, I have little doubt that the death of freedom of association will figure prominently. I think you can really boil virtually any … Continue reading

Rabbis fasting on Inauguration Day
