Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie continued his crusade against his former friend and ex-President, Donald Trump, amid Trump’s dominant position in the Republican presidential primary race. As the GOP contenders gear up for the Fox News debate on August 23, Christie voiced concerns about the possibility of a candidate facing indictment becoming the party’s nominee. In an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox News, Christie expressed his apprehensions, stating, “We have a front-runner right now who, when he gets on the stage for the Fox News debate on August 23, will be out on bail in at least two different jurisdictions, if not three.

Former President Donald Trump encountered a resounding chorus of disapproval from rally attendees in Erie, Pa., on Saturday when he inquired if he should take part in the upcoming GOP presidential debate. The debate, hosted by Fox News, is scheduled to take place in Milwaukee on August 23. Addressing the crowd, Trump acknowledged receiving numerous inquiries about his potential attendance at the debate. He had previously hinted at the possibility of skipping the event, citing Fox News as a “hostile network” and emphasizing his strong polling numbers, which position him as the frontrunner ahead of other candidates. “Am I going to stand up there with guys polling at 0, 1, 2, 3 percent, maybe 4, and endure hostile questions?” he questioned.

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein faced scrutiny as she appeared confused and struggled to deliver a concise response during a Senate hearing, raising further concerns about her capacity to continue serving in office. The incident is the latest in a series of episodes that have cast doubt on her ability to effectively fulfill her duties. During the hearing, Senate Appropriations Chairwoman Patty Murray repeatedly urged her colleague to simply say “aye,” indicating her agreement with a proposal under consideration. However, instead of providing a brief response, Feinstein launched into what seemed to be an attempt at a longer speech. “I would like to support a yes vote on this; it provides $823 billion ….” she began.

Republican Senator Rand Paul’s recent appearance on Fox Business Network caused a stir as he expressed his take on the possibility of Republicans impeaching President Joe Biden. During the interview, host Maria Bartiromo questioned Senator Paul about Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s suggestion of impeachment for President Biden, to which California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff responded by accusing Republicans of “descending into chaos.” Paul found irony in Schiff’s comment and laughed at the clip, but he did not hold back in his criticism of the Democratic representative. Paul reminded viewers of Schiff’s role in the impeachment of former President Donald Trump, which he believes lacked proper hearings and respect for the rule of law.

Entrepreneur and tech mogul Elon Musk sparked a debate by calling for a constitutional amendment in response to a Wednesday incident involving Mitch McConnell, in which the Senate Minority Leader froze up at a news conference, leaving the audience baffled. McConnell, addressing a group of reporters, suddenly stopped mid-speech, gazing blankly into the crowd for a prolonged moment. It was not until a Republican colleague intervened and escorted him away from the podium that the peculiar trance-like state was broken.

Recent developments have seen some individuals on the right advocating for conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a surprising Democratic contender against President Joe Biden. Adding to the controversy, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis raised eyebrows by suggesting the possibility of placing Kennedy at the helm of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), two government agencies he seemingly seeks to dismantle. These events sparked an engaging discussion on Fox News, with host Bill Hemmer posing probing questions, and political strategist Karl Rove countering with not one, but two whiteboards to debunk the claims.

HaMashgiach HaRav Don Segal earlier this week visited HaGaon HaRav Moshe Shternbuch in his home in Har Nof. After the two had a lengthy discussion on divrei Torah, HaRav Segal reguested a bracha from HaRav Shternbuch.

Two young men broke into a cell phone store on Monday on Rechov Bar Ilan in Jerusalem, vandalizing it and stealing valuable cell phones. They caused extensive damage to the store by spraying “skunk spray” on merchandise, the computer, and the customer service desk. The man who sprayed the skunk spray was wearing quasi-Chassidish garb. Unusually and unlike previous incidents, the other man, who did not appear to be Chareidi, stole valuable cell phones. “They operate in a very orderly manner,” the owner of a chain of cell phone stores in Jerusalem told B’Chadrei Chareidim. “They [extremists] go from area to area and harass the store owners and try to make them submit to their demands.
