Trump’s Emergence as a Great Champion of the Jewish People

RABBI SHMULEY: Trump’s Emergence as a Great Champion of the Jewish People

The news on Wednesday afternoon that President Donald Trump had commuted the utterly unjust and downright cruel 27-year sentence of Shalom Rubashkin followed the president’s warning to United Nations member states that those who vote against America’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel would be punished by a reduction in American foreign aid.

At first glance, these are issues that primarily affect the Jewish community. Rubashkin was the largest provider of kosher meat in America; and Jerusalem is the 3000-year-old central city of the Jewish people, founded by King David himself. But in truth these are universal stories that affect all people, with the Jews merely serving as canaries-in-the-coal-mine. 
First, Rubashkin. A Hassidic Jewish father of 10 children, he was a significant philanthropist and communal activist noted for his fair and reasonable prices to make kosher meat more affordable and available throughout the United States. But when he was found guilty of financial fraud, this first-time, non-violent offender was essentially given a draconian life sentence — much longer even than Jeffrey Skilling, the former chief executive of Enron and L. Dennis Kozlowski, the former chief executive of Tyco.
To give you an idea of just unjust Rubashkin’s sentence was, Mark Turkcan, the president of First Bank Mortgage of St. Louis, misapplied $35 million in loans, an amount similar to the Rubashkin charges, and was sentenced to one year and a day in prison. Sholom Rubashkin, however, was sentenced to twenty-seven years, scheduled for release at the age of seventy-four in 2033.
advertisement
In the fall of 2012 the Supreme Court — ignoring six amicus briefs urging the court to review the case, including 86 former federal judges and Department of Justice officials, two FBI directors, four Deputy Attorneys General and one Solicitor General — formally declined to hear Rubashkin’s appeal. 
Many alleged that antisemitism motivated the unbelievable sentence, and for years Rubashkin’s horrible treatment was a terrible wound in the Orthodox Jewish community. But with the stroke of a pen, and citing vast bipartisan congressional and legal support, President Trump commuted the sentence without pardoning Rubashkin, making him a free man after more than eight years served. There was jubilation in the streets of Monsey, Crown Heights, and Boro Park, where Orthodox Jews gave thanks to President Trump for correcting a monstrous injustice and allowing justice to be served.
Then there is Jerusalem. Why is it that Israel alone is singled out to have its capital not recognized by the nations of the world? Who is Sweden, South Africa, or Thailand to tell Israel where it’s capital should be? Imagine the inanity of France placing its Embassy in St. Petersburg rather than Moscow because it has decided that it knew better than the Russians where their government center should be.
Congress already voted in 1995 to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital but strangely provided a security waiver to presidents to delay the move. Every president since has campaigned on the promise to move the embassy and then broken his promise. That is, until Donald Trump.
And why should any of this matter to non-Jews? Because, as Martin Luther King, Jr., the greatest American of the twentieth century, famously said, “An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” If a Hassidic Jew with a long beard and large brood can be treated differently by the justice system than polished Wall Street executives who took their companies to the cleaners, then all of us are at risk.
And if a tiny Middle Eastern country, which is daily threatened with annihilation by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, can lose the support of the international community – which daily assails its reputation even as it remains the only democracy in the Middle East – then who knows which country is next.
I’m well aware of how many people hate Donald Trump. Many are friends of mine. They speak to me of his crassness and behavior which, they say, is an affront to the presidency and diminishes the office. Many of them are Jewish.
I wonder, however, if they likewise acknowledge one of the great friends the Jewish people have had in the Oval Office. Do they acknowledge that since taking office Trump and Nikki Haley have taken on the United Nations over Israel? That this international body, long distinguished as a place that practiced the foulest anti-Israel bias and blatant antisemitism, now has as its champion the most powerful nation on earth?
Who would have believed that just one year after Barack Obama and Samantha Power allowed Israel to be condemned by Resolution 2334 for building condominiums in Shiloh, a new President would actually warn American allies that if they turned on Israel and condemned America’s proclamation on Jerusalem, they would be punished by diminished support from the United States?
Obama and Power dishonored themselves and brought shame to America by choosing to condemn Israeli settlements while the city of Aleppo was being bombed to smithereens and Arab children were being murdered before the eyes of a world that could not see their suffering because they were blinded by irrational hatred of Israel.
Donald Trump is not perfect and I have offered my share of criticism. But to overlook the incredible friendship he continues to show Israel and Jewish people is to violate the core Jewish principle of gratitude. And I, for one, am grateful that in this era of Trumpian foreign policy, Israel is no longer standing alone.

The Death Rattle of Obama’s Reputation

The Death Rattle of Obama’s Reputation

Look in a mirror.
The members of Barack Obama’s administration in exile have become conspicuously noisy of late—even more so than usual. Former CIA Director John Brennan accused Donald Trump and his administration of engaging in “outrageous,” “narcissistic” behavior typical of “vengeful autocrats” by threatening proportionate retaliation against countries that voted to condemn the United States in the United Nations, as though that were unprecedented. It is not. James Clapper, Obama’s director of national intelligence, all but alleged that the president is a Russian “asset.” Perhaps the most acerbic and incendiary series of accusations from the former Democratic president’s foreign-policy professionals were placed in the New York Times by Obama’s national security advisor, Susan Rice. In her estimation, America has abdicated its role as a “force for good.”
It’s no coincidence that these overheated condemnations accompany abundant evidence that the Trump administration is finding its legs. As the last administration’s undeserved reputation as sober-minded foreign policy rationalists is dismantled one retrospective report at a time, its jilted members are lashing out.
Rice’s attacks on the Republican administration deserve the most attention, if only because they are the most apoplectic. Donald Trump’s recently released national-security review paints a “dark,” “almost dystopian” vision of the world, Rice contended. His world is full of “hostile states and lurking threats.” Rice claimed that there is “no common good” in Trump’s worldview. What’s more, there is no “international community” and no “universal values.” There are just “American values.”
Rice takes a theatrically dim view of what is essentially a restatement of the bedrock principle of almost all international-relations theory: The international environment is anarchic. There is no “international community,” because there is no enforceable “international law.” To the extent that such a thing exists, it is dependent upon the willingness of nation states to subordinate their sovereignty to international institutions. There’s no mechanism to make them do this, save for the threat of force. The recognition that nation states exist in a state of perpetual competition is not some grim surrender to the darkest of human impulses. It is reality, the acknowledgment of which only conveys to other nations firm parameters in which they can operate without accidentally triggering a conflict with another sovereign power.
Rice acknowledges that Moscow is a threat to regional stability and peace, “Western values,” and U.S. sovereignty. She implies that Trump is a menace because he declines to recognize that. In fact, it was Obama much more so than Trump who has failed to see the obvious.
Barack Obama was inarguably the least Atlanticist president since the end of World War II. Within a year of Russia’s brazen invasion and dismemberment of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, Obama scrapped George W. Bush-era agreements to move radar and missile interceptor installations to Central Europe. In 2013, the last of America’s armored combat units left Europe, ending a 69-year footprint on the Continent. By 2014, there were just two U.S. Army brigades stationed in Europe. The folly of this demobilization became abundantly clear when Vladimir Putin became the first Russian leader since Stalin to invade and annex territory in neighboring Ukraine.
A year later, Putin intervened militarily in Syria, where U.S. forces were already operating, resulting in the most dangerous escalation of tensions between the two nuclear powers since the end of the Cold War. Putin’s move in Syria should not have come as a surprise; Barack Obama outsourced the resolution of the Syrian conflict to Moscow in 2013, if only to avoid making good on his self-set “red line” for intervention in that conflict despite the norm-shattering use of WMDs on civilians. Even Rice’s chief complaint about Trump, his failure to condemn Putin’s brazen intervention in the 2016 election, didn’t elicit a reaction from Barack Obama until the final month of his presidency.
By contrast, and to the surprise of just about everyone, the Trump administration has been tough on Russia. Trump has ordered harsh sanctions on Moscow’s Iranian allies for violating United Nations resolutions—a course the Obama administration declined to take even if it allowed Hezbollah terrorists with direct links to Putin to operate with impunity. He ordered long overdue airstrikes on Putin’s vassal regime in Syria, halting any further use of chemical weapons in the process. Trump not only declined to lift Obama-era sanctions on Moscow, as many feared he would, but expanded them. This administration closed Russian consulates and annexes in the United States. It has targeted Putin allies like Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov under the Magnitsky Act—the same act that Kremlin cutout Natalia Veselnitskaya lobbied the Trump campaign to scuttle. Trump has even gone so far as to open U.S. arms sales to Ukraine, representing a significant blow to Putin’s ambitions in Europe. It is without a doubt that Trump now has a stronger record on Russia than Barack Obama ever did. No wonder Susan Rice is so angry.
Rice further alleged that Trump recklessly accused China of being an “avowed opponent” of the U.S. rather than just a competitor, and then insisted that China has not “illegally occupied its neighbors.” Tell that to Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, or Taiwan, each of which lay claim to strategic territory in the South China Sea that the People’s Republic seized and turned into forward air and naval bases. Rice suggested that Trump’s “realists” decided to “lump” Beijing in with Moscow, not because it is a rising military and economic power, but because they wanted to “placate” American nationalists. Though this White House declined to defibrillate the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement back to life when it inherited its corpse, it has done a far more comprehensive job of working with Beijing to isolate Pyongyang than Obama did. As the North Korean nuclear crisis intensifies, China has backed fresh sanctions on North Korean financial institutions, cut off all access to Chinese iron, lead, and coal, and may even scale back petroleum deliveries to the Stalinist state by as much as 90 percent. And all in the space of one year.
Rice bemoaned the fact that Trump’s national security document contained no nods to America’s core ideological principles, such as democracy promotion and human rights. Except it does. The strategy review did declare perfunctory fealty to the idea that America cannot “impose its values” on others, but it criticized nations like China and Russia for making their economies “less free and less fair” and for censoring information “to repress their societies.” It professed America’s intention to oppose “rival actors” who “use propaganda and other matters to discredit democracy.” The document added that this administration intends to “support the dignity of individuals” who “live under oppressive regimes and who seek freedom” and “rule of law.” The U.S. will use “every tool” to “isolate states and leaders who threaten our interests and whose actions run contrary to our values,” including “repressive regimes and human rights abusers.” After all, Dr. Rice, America values are universal values.
Rice contended that the document failed to itemize the discrete identities on whose behalf the U.S. should labor: LGBT people, people in poverty, people with AIDS, people under 30, et cetera. Rather, the document insists that all mankind, regardless of conditions or accidents of birth, are objects of U.S. interest. Rice complained that climate change is no longer viewed as a threat to national security. Good. Climate change is not itself a threat to American national security but a threat multiplier, as the weather has always been. Save for some valid concerns about the prospect of an overly restrictive immigration policy and the precariousness of U.S. free-trade obligations, Rice painted a picture not of a radical administration but one that is returning to a familiar status quo ante. In nearly all respects, it was Obama’s White House, not Trump’s, that adopted an ideological foreign policy and rendered the U.S. and the world less safe as a result.
Even as early as March of 2017, it was clear that the Obama administration’s foreign-policy professionals were quite insecure about how posterity would remember their stewardship of American interests abroad. They had every reason to be. For now, at least, the Trump administration has declined to govern as Trump campaigned; not as a populist firebrand but a conventional Republican. Susan Rice and her former White House colleagues have every reason to worry, but not for the United States. Their reputations, however, are another matter entirely.

UN, Trump and Jeruslem

. Thank God Trump is president and Nicki Haley is our UN Ambassador,  VETOED this shameful action. Remember the last Security Council vote on Israel one year ago, when Obama had our rep ABSTAIN, an act called the MOST ANTI SEMITIC ACT on the world in 2016.
FACTS:
1. JUDAISM:Bible says Jerusalem was key to Jews 4000 years ago. Mount Moriah of the Temple Mount was site of Binding of Isaac story.
2. Jerusalem mentioned 700x in Bible. King David established it as capital of Israel in 995 BCE and King Solomon confirmed. 2 Chronicles 6:5-6, wherein King Solomon quotes God as saying, "Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city in all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there, and I chose no man as prince over my people Israel; but I have chosen Jerusalem that my name may be there and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel." + According to the Bible, Hezekiah did not rely on Egypt for support, but relied on God and prayed to Him for deliverance of his capital city Jerusalem. (2 Kings 18:19-22; 2 Kings 18:32-36; 2 Kings 19:14-19; 2 Kings 19:28; Isaiah 31:1-3). Jews prayed to go back to Jerusalem for 2000 years since were forcibly removed.
3. CHRISTIANITY: Jesus was overturning tables in the temple in Jerusalem 2000 years ago
4. ISLAM: Islam came along 1700 years after King David and did not bother to mention Jerusalem 1x in Quran. 80% of Palestinians say Jews are entitled to NO land in the region of their own and Hamas, the true Palestinian power, explicitly calling for Israel’s destruction and all Jews killed. Phony, made-up, so called “Palestinian people” teach Jew hatred through their schools, lie consistently claiming Jews were never there historically, pay Arab killers of Jews a stipend forever.
5. Disgusting inequity finally remedied by Trump. Despite US presidents promising for decades to make this move, none did. Until Trump, Israel was the ONLY country in the world the USA did not recognized the countries named capital city.
6. Nothing Trump did precludes part of Jerusalem eventually becoming part of Palestinian capital, if Palestinians someday decide honestly they want to live in peace.

More great economic and security news

More great economic and security news, even as media IGNORES Obama's latest scandal with Hezbollah/drugs to allow Iran deal and as FBI corruption scandal grows. https://blogs.wsj.com/…/capital-journal-americans-view-on-…/
1. In UN victory for Trump, Security Council Tightens Economic Vise on North Korea, Blocking Fuel, Ships and Workers
2. U.S. consumer spending rose more than forecast in November and the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge advanced to an eight-month high, signs of economic vitality that should keep the central bank on track to raise interest rates gradually in 2018
3. Hot US new homes market sees biggest jump in 25 years
4. Growth definitely over 3%, even before tax deal

What did Obama say was the gravest threat to US security in his speech last year

What did Obama say was the gravest threat to US security in his speech last year? Not Iran, not N. Korea, Not Islamic terrorism, not China, not Russia. Unproved, "based-on-phony" stats, "climate change."

EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED yesterday to deny you more of your money.

EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED yesterday to deny you more of your money. To keep US corporations highest tax rate in the world. To stunt our economic growth. EVERY DEMOCRAT!!! Thank God they are out of power. Evil Democrats stand for: aiding Iran, appeasing N Korea, doing nothing to stop Islamic terror, record poverty, higher taxes, horrible economic growth, backstabbing Israel, doubled our debt under Obama, Increased racial tension, stagnant wages, record low labor participation rate, doubling of food stamp recipients. Obama was WORST president in at least 100 years. His 8 years:
https://www.facebook.com/JonathanGinsb/videos/10155054018720837/..
Good Republicans: in one year Trump decimated Isis, reduced taxes, record reduction in needless Bureaucratic regulations which stymied growth, growth up to 4% this quarter from never once 3% under Obama, 17 year low Black unemployment, record general unemployment, stock market record after record, rock star status in Israel, Jerusalem recognized as capital, Supreme court pick. In sum, best first year ever for a president.

Evil Democrats stand for vs. Good Republicans

Evil Democrats stand for:  record poverty, higher taxes, horrible economic growth, backstabbing Israel, doubled our debt under Obama, Increased racial tension, stagnant wages, record low labor participation rate, doubling of food stamp recipients. Plus worst ever economic pathetic growth over 8 years, collapsing Obamacare sold on lies, all our enemies and adversaries flourished ( Iran, Al Quida, Isis, N Korea, China, Russia), coddled dictators (Cuba, Venezuela, ), gutted our military, used IRS to abuse pro-Israel and conservative groups, corrupted Justice Dept. (Loretta Lynch meets with Bill Clinton), Israel backstabbed repeatedly, race riots, killing of police, massive illegal immigration, one million new Shariah supporting Muslims, record anti-Semitism on college campuses from Obama’s Muslims, record business killing regulations, Obama 8 years: worst ever presidency. Total DISASTER. 

Good Republicans: in one year Trump decimated Isis, reduced taxes, record reduction in needless Bureaucratic regulations which stymied growth, growth up to 4% this quarter from never once 3% under Obama, 17 year low Black unemployment, record general unemployment, stock market record after record, rock star status in Israel, Jerusalem recognized as capital, Supreme court pick. In sum, best first year ever for a president.

Trump is going to set the region aflame???

“HUGE day in Jewish history. Righting a historic anti-Semitic injustice, Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel since 995 BCE under King David but it is the ONLY NATION on earth the US has not allowed to declare it's own capital. Shame on all previous presidents and kudos to Trump.


Trump is going to set the region aflame???



"Let me get this straight. Syria's got a civil war. Iraq's got a civil war. Lebanon is being slowly digested by Hezbollah. Yemen's got a civil war. ISIS is operating in Egypt. Hamas is doing what Hamas does. The Palestinians are paying people to stab Jews. They have never had any intention in living peacefully next to a Jewish state.  Libya is butchering Nigerian slaves. (Re-read that one.) Iran is building nukes to go on their missiles. Iran is trying to subvert Bahrain and spreading state sponsored terrorism around the region."

Fearing for the future

Fearing for the future
Millennials are now biggest voting block and are 2-1 Democratic leaning by poll. Shows 1. How stupid they are and 2. How successful the left has been infiltrating the universities. EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE is overwhelming but that does not matter to many. Obama/Democrats gave us worst economic growth ever over 8 years, record poverty, a world on fire, record poor labor participation, no wage increases for middle class, $150 billion to Iran, skyrocketing health insurance premiums, Israel shunned, race riots, massive illegal immigration, tyrants embraced, doubled all previous federal debt. In just one year Trump has improved on all that. Does not matter to stupid Americans.
