    Keen insight. But keep supporting the President who called neo-Nazis "very fine people".

    “It always boiled down to the same rationalizations, those used by [white nationalists Richard Spencer and David Duke]: Haiti and Africa are indeed shitholes, and Trump was right not to want people from those countries,” he writes. “Was it the majority of the Orthodox world? Doubtful. But was it a portion large enough to be concerned about? Absolutely.”

    When trying to figure out why these views are spreading in the community, Nehorai points the finger at Orthodox Jewish conservative writers such as Ben Shapiro and Breitbart’s Joel Pollack, who both defended Trump calling African countries “shitholes.”

    “Rather than Duke and Spencer, it’s these writers whose names you hear at shul,” he writes. “It is these voices that the average politically engaged and Orthodox Jew listens to.”

    Please don't try to tell Jews what they believe and don't believe. I can have faith without being hyper-focused on Israel.

    Then again, there are plenty of Orthodox Jews who insist that anybody who doesn't worship their way isn't really Jewish. They are kindly invited to kiss my tuchus.

    How can 6,000 people be losing their jobs at Kimberly-Clark after the wonderful and fantastic tax cut that is obviously spurring jobs and raises and $1,000 bonuses and MAGA?

    Gov. Walker has a plan, though. He wants to give Kimberly-Clark some extra-special tax deals to keep 600 jobs in Wisconsin. Maybe Paul Ryan will tweet about it?

    Gov. Scott Walker: Give Kimberly-Clark Foxconn-style deal to keep paper plants open

    When the market drops below 26k, 25k or whatever - do the traders on floor have to give their hats back?

    Trump said Democrats not giving him a standing ovation during the SOTU was treasonous.

    Snark, I'm not going to go point-by-point through my faith. I said a Jew can have a strong faith without being Orthodox. I never said I was a great example of that. I'm not defending myself here, but I've seen far better Jews than myself who deserve more respect for their faith.

    Your post seemed to claim that only Jews who are obsessed with Israel truly believe, which is incorrect. It's just like Orthodox Jews who claim that Reform Jews aren't really Jewish. It's ignorant and disrespectful.

    With all due respect, you don't get to define who truly believes. If you think you do, then you are also kindly invited to the tuchus kissing line.
