Empathy for the Marginalized:

The Torah frequently points to their enslavement as the exact moral basis for ethical behavior.

Because the Hebrews were oppressed foreigners in Egypt, God repeatedly commands them throughout the Law (e.g., in Leviticus and Deuteronomy) to care for the stranger, the widow, and the orphan, specifically reminding them: "for you were slaves in the land of Egypt."

They spent 400 years learning that lesson... and, like the Western Church in this country, have completely forgotten it in modern Israel.

He has the charisma of dirt.

"Former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and his deputy Richard Donoghue testified to the House Select Committee that Donald Trump repeatedly pressured them to sign and send a letter to state legislatures.

The letter falsely claimed the Justice Department had identified election concerns and urged states to choose a slate of alternate electors.

Trump specifically told DOJ leadership, "Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen," according to Donoghue's contemporaneous notes.

Rosen and Donoghue refused to sign the document, concluding there was no factual or legal basis to do so. Further investigations and congressional records detail the scope of this pressure:"

"Democrats accuse Trump-linked fundraisers of fraud over diverted donations for America's anniversary

House Democrats allege consultants tied to President Donald Trump may have engaged in financial fraud related to the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations

The report draws in part on interviews by Democratic staffers of the House Committee on Natural Resources. Those interviews suggest that donors seeking to celebrate America fell for a bait-and-switch that, if true, could have violated various criminal statutes.

Donors who were intending to contribute funds to America250, a bipartisan committee created by Congress, were instead given the banking and routing numbers for a different but similarly named group, Freedom 250, the Democratic report says.

The key difference was that Freedom 250 was set up under the auspices of Trump's Republican administration to be "a vehicle for a Christian nationalist, partisan, and Trump-centered vision of American identity," according to the report.

Freedom 250, which has denied the report's claims, has focused on staging big splashy events largely held in Washington, such as the UFC cage fight at the White House on Trump's 80th birthday, the Great American State Fair on the National Mall and the upcoming July 4 celebration featuring a Trump speech and a fireworks extravaganza the president is touting as the "show of a lifetime.""

RLR for the win!

"I have investigated cases focusing on the facts and law throughout my career. We did this case the same way, under the same standards," Smith told MS NOW.

"The thing that's important for your viewers to know is those standards are not meant to change from one administration to the next, and in my experience " until now " they haven't."

In the election interference case, Smith said Trump was culpable in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after he lost to Joe Biden in the November election.

The rioters were trying to stop the House from certifying the election results after Trump told them to march to the Capitol.

Smith also indicted Trump on federal criminal charges of retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Largo home in Florida after his first term ended."

;;

Trump's own hand-picked, loyal DOJ testified they had threatened to resign en masse if he told them one more time to break the Law by telling States to remove Biden's name on Ballots and replace it with Trump's.

Had Smith not sought to prosecute Trump's many crimes, given all the Evidence, he could have lost his own job.

I like the optimism!

Russians should be so lucky.

"Staff working in Putin's immediate vicinity have reportedly been banned from using mobile phones or other internet-connected devices or using public transport. They have also had security systems installed inside their homes.

Even wristwatches have reportedly entered the blacklist, with officials ordered to take them off in Putin's presence since around mid-April, according to a source speaking to the Telegram channel Mozhem Obyasnit.

FSO service has proved a springboard to the Kremlin elite. It serves as a trusted pool of loyalists for roles in regional governance and other senior positions."

So... no Trump watches for the Putin Protection Team?
