JUDGE BRETT KAVANAUGH

Much has been written  and spoken regarding the disgusting attacks on Judge Kavanaugh"s reputation.
In my opinion this battle has nothing to do with him. He is but a pawn!
there are two underlying deeply divisive forces  at work, and his nomination intersects the controversies.
1-ABORTION
2-DEMOCRATIC HATRED FOR PRES. TRUMP

Had Kavanaugh favored abortion, one could question if Sen. Feinstein would have released the Ford letter, or if even such an "anonymous " letter would have  either been written, or without witnesses, come into play.
The battle of Roe v Wade has divided this nation. As an orthodox Jewish physician, I totally reject abortion as a method of birth control. In Israel in 2015, there were 178,000 live births and 18.240 abortions.Taken over the years, how many Jewish lives could have been produced to help replace the 6 million Kedoshim  who perished in the Holocaust.( of course there were some Arab abortions included in the statistics)
I support abortion to save a mothers life, rape-incest etc.
What percentage of abortions does that constitute ?--A real minority!
The left, progressives, LGBT community and Democrats supported by the generous cash contributions of non-orthodox Jewish contributors, have made abortion a "life-celebration" a REAL TIKKUN OLAM .  Every woman should consider it !
Most individuals do not realize that overturning Roe would simply move the decision back to the States.-where it belongs.
Where in the constitution is there a guarantee for abortion on demand?

The 2nd battle is the refusal of the Democratic party and base to acknowledge that Hillary lost the election-Trump is our President ! They are stooping from day 1 to total rejection, obstruction, stalling and disgusting attacks on our President. The sole purpose is to defeat his party in 2018 and him in 2020.
Obama passed Obamacare without a single Rep vote. Is this representative democracy?  party over principle  hate over our countries interests!
Under Jewish law, a complaint 30 years old, without witnesses. ,without being able to recall all of the facts that the Bais Din ( court) would ask) is worthless.  If you cannot remember who paid   for the lie detector test a few weeks ago, what does that say for "perfect memory"?
To claim "I am not lying" is without validity  in a court of law. Proof and witnesses are the basis of solid legal procedure-NOT HE/SHE IS A CREDITABLE WITNESS-
 If a professional actress-speech coach =psychologist - a person trained to cry on call-if these types came forward having practiced their CREDITABLE presentation-does that make it any more worthy than the stutterer?
Judge Kavanaugh with decades of spotless  public service, multiple female interns without a single complaint of a sexual nature, the current procedures are a disgraceful ruination of his reputation.
Just as the Dems rue the day that Sen Harry Reid changed the filibuster rules for judges, they will in time be paid back in kind when they will be subject to cruel character assassination.

SENATOR jOHN McCAIN - A VIETNAM "BUDDY"

Much has been written about the life of john McCain. Listening to Sen Schumer and the NY Times you would believe they were always in awe of his talents, leadership and heroic history. We have a saying in the Torah "Acharei Mos-Kedoshim" after death the detractors from life become those who praise the dead. In 1980 John was called everything from racist, aggressive and unstable. This political ploy to name the Sensate office building is just that -a cute trick to divide the Republican party. I was friendly with John from the days of his service in the Congress .We were both Vietnam veterans and I was on the Board of AIPAC. He was always a dedicated friend and supporter of Israel. When he ran for the Senate in 1986 , my PAC ( HUVPAC) supported him. In 1986 , I brought him to Monsey as a guest for our Pac Chanukah party. Whenever I brought groups to Washington, first from our Pac and then from the OU, he always joined our luncheons, and made time to meet in his office with a small group to discuss substantive issues. He and Senator Larry Pressler of S.D , always called me their "Vietnam buddy". It signified a sense of comradery for a fellow vet.Beneath that friendly nickname was a common sense of patriotism and dedication to the exceptionalism of America. Part of that pact was a commitment to strengthen the US- Israel relationship For me he was a true "patriot" who never felt the need to stand up for what he believed in, even if he disagreed with you. America will miss his type of leadership in the Senate.

THE GREY LADY HAS CROSSED THE RED LINE

Asa young man and student , the N Y TIMES was a daily necessity. With maturity and political sophistication combined with age, I realized that the anti-Israel policies of the paper coupled with its left wing philosophy forced me to give up on them and turn to the WSJ as MY paper of record. Occasionally in our apartment complex, someone will throw out the Times in the garbage room, and we will take into the apartment to skim their editorials etc. When I was OU President, I led a delegation to meet with the editorial board of the Times regarding their anti-Israel policies. We documented their bias, and for a month or 2 we noticed a change. Long ago I gave up hope for a balanced approach to the Middle East. When Bret Stephens joined the paper, while I was disappointed I hoped he would bring a breath of freshness to the Times. As editor of the Jerusalem Post, I enjoyed his lived presentations both in Israel and the US. While I did not always agree with his point of view, I found his analyses to be based on a solid intellectual approach. The latest flap concerning the hiring of an out and out anti-white racist Sarah Jeong to the editorial board is a disgusting move. How Stephens can in any manner support this woman is beyond belief. Unlike Roseanne Barr who apologized for her single outburst ,Miss Jeong has a long history of such hate filled messages. Stephens attacked Barr but supported his new colleague. For me it is a double sadness- the depravity of the Times, and the turnaround of Stephens
