Ordained Rabbi who loves RockN’Roll.I play guitar& bass and like it Loud.Uber Liberal, Zionist to the core. Former journalist. Trump’s worst nightmare.
When I was a journalist,my goal was to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. My goals as a Rabbi are exactly the same and they won’t change. If you follow me you are with my goals. so let’s have at it🧐
Megyn Kelly is a right wing entitlement queen. She has no journalistic talent or acumen. Jen Psaki takes on the people she interviews, she doesn't accommodate their misdeeds. She's also dreamy.
Texas Attorney general Ken Paxton admitted today what many Texans suspected: He cancelled ballots in Harris County (Houston) after the 2020 election that almost certainly would have resulted in Democrat wins for national and state offices.Paxton is on trial for securities fraud.

This is a totally critical statement. Human sexuality is one of many things you neither understand nor are given authority to comment on.
Lavern, I am a retired alcohol and drug abuse professional. "Just Say No" was a joke to addicts. It didn't mean a damned thing. Not one person has ever gotten sober because of Nancy Reagan. Addicts get sober because we give them a better life without mind altering substances.
Folks, I remember back in the day when Nancy Reagan told people to “JUST SAY NO” to drugs.
Of course people laughed at her back then, because she was a Republican and because liberals think “drugs are cool.”
Well today in 2023 we have a fentanyl crisis, and Nancy’s words are
yeah, the Rapinoe haters are all over social media today. Yet they love Donald's inane antics that have real victims. Megan Rapinoe is telling girls and women to live life passionately no matter who likes it. I love her!
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a proud Jew to her dying day. Seems like it’s conveniently ignored by some who commemorate her memory today. Let’s remind them to respect her memory and who she was.
May her memory be a blessing, may her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
As someone who has struggled to be included in the Jewish community I read her post with curiosity until I realized it was designed to get marginalized (Read: resentful ) Jews Involved in legitimized Israel bashing.
A pox on her house.
"I became a rabbi for those like me who are fully Jewish, but for whom Jewish doors never opened, and for those who have been disenfranchised and marginalized by Judaism and Jewish spaces."

is one of my generation's great poets and prophets. I don't need him to be perfect or to know everything, but he's right far more often than he's not and that's good enough for me.
People who weren't even alive in 1972 are after Jane Fonda again. These are the same people who trash John Kerry and John McCain, both national heroes of the best kind. Move your "Hanoi Jane" resets to the next John Birch Society meeting. You're obnoxious clowns.
When they turn the pages of history, when these days are passed long ago, will they read of us with sadness for the seeds that we let grow.
Sceaming demons dressed in KINGLY guise, beating down the multitudes and scoffing at the wise.
The sublime words of poet Neil Peart
I think it is near-tragic that Jimmy Buffett, who wrote "He Went To Paris" and "One Particular Harbor" is being remembered for crap like "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger In Paradise". Really sad. Please look beyond that junk and find his diamonds.
As Democrats we have been way too quick to embrace BDS and general anti-Israeli sentiments. At rallies and protests I see people proudly waving Mexican, Puerto Rican and even Cuban flags. I anticipate being thrashed should I appear with a Star of David banner. This should not be.
Donald Trump is a mess. But that doesn’t excuse the way many Democrats have fallen short on protecting Jews. Just because Donald Trump sucks doesn’t mean that Orthodox Jews aren’t being beat up on DeBlasio’s turf.
Watching Anderson Cooper interview Janet Porter, I had to laugh. She did the best she could trying to defend a piece of crap like Roy Moore but how do you defend a racist, homophobic, pedophile who has no respect for the law? Vote Roy Moore and you stand alone.
Mike, I'm with you.Due to circumstances beyond my control, I arrived at age 65 with no savings or pensions. My wife and I live on SS and Medicare/Medicaid. We need Biden's SS Expansion legislation to get on his desk as soon as possible.
I have never earned anything near 50k a year. Always filed and often had to pay, but I owe the IRS a princely sum. It’s really expensive to be poor. Does Rand Paul know this ?
Hardy-har-are-you-kidding?
Comedy spotlight on The View this morning. According to Senator Rand Paul, the American people simply aren’t understanding the fact that most people who earn under $50K don’t pay income taxes. Spontaneous audience laughter.
Why doesn't the New England power grid go down when it is -30° outside, before the wind chill, but when it is 22° outside, the Texas power grid collapses?
No one has commented on any of my posts for almost a week on here. I’m thinking I need to go elsewhere.I miss the folks I used to interact with before Elon Musk took over.If you think I should stay,please let me know soon.
Jason Whitlock is the Clarence Thomas of broadcasting. a sellout to Republicanism, a traitor to his origins and a backstabber of those who trusted him, supported him and nurtured his career. Jemele Hill knows history. You challenge her at the risk of your own credibility, Sparky.
Hope 52 other Eagles follow Chris Long's lead in ignoring another opportunity for Trump to traffic in someone else's greatness and hog thespolight for himself.
This is Philadelphia Eagles player Chris Long. He donated his entire season's income to charity, including his first 6 paychecks to Charlottesville Scholarship programs.
Long also says he WILL NOT attend the WH to meet with Trump if the Eagles win the

They keep their TX Constitutional oath before God for “public free schools.”
They will stop this bully.
They will defeat vouchers.

My ex wife and mother of my children adores Trump but curses social security and medicare because they aren't generous enough for her taste. Please don't tell her that a bill to gut them both, written by Republicans, sits in a House committee right now.
I have kin who have lived on welfare for decades, act like they haven’t, and vote for Trump because Biden “drinks babies blood and worships Satan.”
These are Trump voters. This isn’t a drill…these folks are in a cult and believe anything. I live in MAGA land—you don’t want to.
A few years ago I had a seizure and suffered a (TBI) traumatic brain injury and a stroke. My entire life changed drastically. But today I’m proud to say that my oldest has graduated high school and is pursuing a career in neuroscience to help people like me. ❤️
31 degrees in central Texas with sleet. Remember,I have to deal with Greg Abbott’s frail power grid. You have one of the nation’s best governors in Gretchen Whitmer.I’d much rather have her power grid.
A ridiculous person with no connection to Maui. I live in Maui. I have spent the last week directing every friend in Lahaina to access federal assistance thanks to Presiden Biden's rapid response. From my president, to my governor, to my senator, all I have received is help.
Government has been telling the truth since January 21, 2021, Robert. You just don't like what it's telling you. You're a fraud and a punk and no one will support you for president, you'll see.
Christianity is a heretical offshoot of Judaism. Early Christians worshipped with Jews until Paul came along with his sexism, bigotry and made-up additions to Jewish canon. He thought he was redefining Judaism for all Jews. He wasn't. He was simply a loon making it up as he went.
Christianity has never been Judaism. The Pharisees during Jesus’ time were diverse, he didn’t talk to all of them. The Pharisees didn’t misunderstand their own texts. The sacred texts of Jewish people are not the same as Christian sacred texts.
This is Christian supremacy👇🏽
I think we can be anti-Hamas and also anti-BDS. Hamas are criminals who steal from and abuse Palestinian people and BDS is on record as seeking the annihilation of israel. We should oppose them both at every juncture, IMHO.
Don't think you'll see Candace Owens or Larry Elder weighing in against De Santis, though. Their color is bought and paid for by White Republicans, Inc. If DeSantis were to be the nominee, he couldn't walk
this shit back fast enough.
After Tim Scott joined Byron Donalds as the second prominent black Republican to criticize his slavery curriculum, Desantis fires back saying their comments are “false accusations and lies.”
I am 100% male and I’m long past fed up with the God forsaken mess men have made of this planet and this country.Women are the future.Women need the power men have been so selfish and reckless with. I voted for Biden and I’m pleased with him,but I really want Amy Klobuchar.
Well, a couple of men got angry at me because I said women should rule the world. One said that implying that your gender allows you blah blah blah I didn't even read the rest. Why does it bother mean so much that I said that? Really?
Not a one of them is carrying "Genocide" placards or yelling "Kill Palestinians", as opposed to the rancid anti-Israeli sentiments of a mob in north London yesterday. Israel wants her citizens returned,Jews don't have bloodlust as their detractors tend to.
Thousands of sane and decent people gathered in London’s Trafalgar Square to show support for Israel and demand the release of 210 people taken hostage by Hamas.
Tonight marks the conclusion of Hanukkah candle lighting.Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest about this Traditional Jewish observance.May your day be one of love ,goodness and hope for better days to come.

Obama had a contentious relationship with many in the media, but never turned them into a daily whipping boy for all the ills of society, as Trump does. I was once stuck in a car with a drunk driver. 2019 feels just like that to most Americans I know, on a national level.
Oliver Anthony is sick of right-wing politicians, media & influencers using his song, especially at the debate: “This song isn’t about Biden … That song was written about the people on that stage. Not just them, but definitely them.”
It's not school choice , Slugger. It's stealing taxpayer's cash to facilitate religious indoctrination and to choke the money from public schools. School is not a buffet lunch. You have to invest in each school to get excellence, not divert money to propagandists.
I am a male living on the edge of the city, but I have three adult kids and five grandkids. You will never hear me utter "suburban" and "housewife" in the same paragraph.
I'm a mom of 3 children.
I live in the suburbs.
I work full time.
I bust my ass for my kids.
If you call me a "suburban housewife” I will knee you in the fucking groin.
Raise your hand if you are a woman living in the suburbs and you are voting for

Show me a picture of a Republican who lives with half the selfless dedication of Jimmy Carter. Just one. I say there is no such person. Republicans are the most selfish people on the planet.
Whew, this app needs a special note when folks like President Jimmy Carter are trending to let us know he's still with us, my goodness.
He's still with us. 💙
You mean like Uber patriot Ted Nugent who shit himself to prove he was nuts so he could avoid the draft.A lot of good men didn’t want to waste their bodies in a stupid and illegal war.Nugent wasn’t a patriot at all,he was scared of a real war with people shooting back.

Steve,
I think the message is more about the people of Thailand, Americans are too busy Making America Great Again. Our kids are being butchered in their classrooms and we do nothing.
IT"S GEDDY LEE, not Getty Lee,you clowns. He's only been making platinum records and filling arenas since 1974 so I guess your stupidity is forgivable. Not for me.
Hen, I am both a Rabbi and a convert. When I converted, I was told that I must adopt the mantle of anti-Semitism and all the “personal crises” it may bring. After 19 years , I can say it has been rough at times, but I am prouder than ever to be a Jew and a Rabbi!
I think (while not a rabbi) that most important question when one converts to Judaism is this.
The Talmud is preparing us to this day & age, when people will claim that they’re Jewish to attack our community. One must understand that being Jewish means that:
They are Yemenites, you hateful scum, The heritage is from the nation of Yemen, a traditionally Arab country that exiled it's Jews a few generations ago. They are Mizrahi whereas Polish Jews are Ashkenazi. You are ignorant, hateful, and vile in every sense.
This individual wearing Kippah leads no faith. He is part of a heretical offshoot of Judaism, and carries no leadership credentials, even then. Jews, generally, don't support the dubious political ambitions of convicted rapists. Please stop speaking for Jews.
Republicans want a nation of poor white breeders pumping children into a dead end economy that props up a wealthy class.This group manipulates the lives of the less fortunate with religion and props up a shell government that is ineffectual and servile,selling impossible dreams.
On this day 21 years ago vocalist/lyricist Layne Staley was found dead. Staley led Alice In Chains, one of the premiere Seattle 90's bands.The band picked up with a new singer in 2006, And they're good, but it ain't the same.

Has it occurred to you that in some areas and for some people it still is a Green Book country. The fact that you are so certain it isn’t lends weight to the fact that it may well be. ignorance like yours made the thing necessary in the first place.
Jess Piper is my new hero. She delivers blow after blow to Republican incompetence and corruption in Missouri. She sets the standard for Democratic rural activism on social media. I'd like to be Texas' Jess Piper.
Why do I travel the state and even into other states to talk about rural Democrats? Because it brings folks together and also makes local news to let folks know there are Democrats in their small towns and it's okay to be a Dem. We've always been here.
People like me scare the Missouri GOP because I’m not afraid of the truth and I don’t give a shit about money. Money doesn’t motivate me.
I’m motivated to see my kids and neighbors flourish in a state that is currently in a spiral due to greed and malfeasance by our Reps.
That Betsy DeVos can appear in public without getting produce tossed at her by irate parents, is something I can't comprehend. Never has American education had a more vicious enemy.
Stock buybacks were illegal until Reagan made them legal in 1982. Just about the same time, wages stopped rising for most Americans.
Does that sound like a coincidence to you? 🤔
I have spent hundreds of hours riding with Cops as a victim services counselor. They wear the same items in the same places every day. It beggars belief that an experienced officer could make such a stupid mistake. I don't buy it.
@RepDLesko
I am in Texas. I am going to donate to the Democratic nominee who runs against you. I am also going to help them raise more money. You are heinous.
33 years 11 months here. You gotta stay on point no matter how sober you've been. I get thoughts that I've done this long enough, occasionally, but thankfully I have reminders that I'm not out of the woods. Do what you know to do day at a time.
There’s not even a bad reason to own an AR-15.The only reason is this: I’m a paranoid piece of crap who cannot feel safe unless I’m ready to shred every person within shouting distance.
I used to have ultimate respect for Tony Dungy,but now that I have learned of his hatred of gays and TG’s I no longer have any use for him.Sad that he has chosen this amoral path.
I will share this until
@NBC

and
@NBCOut
respond.
Completely insane.
@TonyDungy
is a lead
@NFL
analyst who equates trans people with a fictitious group who identify as cats and want litter boxes.
It is demeaning and cruel. They must respond.
Can be, for sure. But today all the good ideas belong to Democrats and all the misery and lies come from the GOP. I’d be happy to entertain any exceptions.
MrJordan,I am a Rabbi.I have plenty of faith,family and freedom.What I need is a lot less moral cowardice and a lot more common sense from my elected leaders.Therefore,please go and screw yourself.
“Both sides should agree to a truce”? Are you F kidding me?
The only “truce” that should happen is for the fascist Russian occupiers to get the hell out of Ukraine.
