GOP vice-presidential candidate JD Vance sparred with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, addressing former President Donald Trump’s controversial statements and the characterization of Trump as a “fascist” by some of his previous senior advisors.
On “State of the Union,” Tapper immediately questioned Vance about Trump’s comments on an “enemy from within” and pointed to retired General John Kelly’s assertion that Trump fits “into the general definition of fascist.”
In response, the 40-year-old Vance dismissed former Trump allies like Kelly and ex-Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as proponents of military intervention, prompting Tapper, 55, to probe Trump’s pointed statements about election officials who engage in fraud.

Ohio Senator and GOP vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance recently backed former President Donald Trump’s statements calling Democratic leaders “the enemy from within,” asserting that the nation faces more significant threats from domestic issues than from foreign ones.
Speaking to NBC News on “Meet the Press” on Shabbos, Vance voiced agreement with Trump’s view, emphasizing that leaders within the U.S. government are exacerbating internal challenges more seriously than any external adversaries could.

President Biden appeared to imply on Friday that former Representative Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) might either be deceased or separated from her spouse — or that she is no longer a friend — in what seemed to be an unintended remark, shortly after assuring members of a Native American community that he was feeling fine.
“Thank you to Sen. Mark Kelly, a great friend — who also was married to an incredible woman who was my friend,” the 81-year-old president stated to the Gila River Indian Community, located just south of Phoenix.
Kelly, a Democratic senator from Arizona, has been married to Giffords — who is, indeed, alive — since 2007.

Former President Donald Trump made waves during his nearly three-hour appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” recorded in Austin, Texas. Tapping into Rogan’s substantial following of over 14 million on Spotify and nearly 18 million on YouTube, Trump aimed to connect with younger voters, particularly young men. Here are the key takeaways from the podcast:
Regrets from His Presidency
Trump reflected on his first term, identifying personnel decisions as his “biggest mistake.” He expressed regret over some appointments, admitting, “I picked some great people, but I picked a few people that I shouldn’t have picked.” Rogan pointedly noted the presence of “neocons” among those choices.
Explaining Bad Publicity

As we navigate the days of Chol Hamoed Sukkos, a time of joy and reflection, many are grappling with how to properly mark the first year since the devastating tragedy that unfolded on Simchas Torah last year. The massacre that claimed the lives of so many Jews left an indelible mark on Klal Yisroel, and the pain is still deeply felt.
To provide clarity and direction during this challenging time, we turned to Hagaon Rav Elya Brudny, chaver, Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, and rosh yeshiva of Mirrer Yeshiva, and Hagaon Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, chaver, Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, and rosh yeshiva of Mesivta of Lakewood.

Monday night, the vibrant atmosphere of Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim’s Simchas Bais Hashoeivah was electrified as R’ Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz, the esteemed baal tzedakah and machzik Torah from Los Angeles, graced the stage.

He extolled the virtues of Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim, emphasizing the exceptional nature of its roshei yeshiva and rabbeim, telling the talmidim, “Nutzed dos ois!” (That is, “Take advantage!”)
