Donald J Trump Has The Electoral Votes To Become the 47th President
“ In a historic win, Donald Trump has emerged victorious in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, clinching Pennsylvania and securing the crucial electoral votes needed to surpass the threshold for the presidency. The win in Pennsylvania marked a decisive moment in the election, solidifying Trump’s return to the White House as the 47th President of the United States.”

Republicans have captured control of the U.S. Senate, marking a major shift in power after a four-year stretch in the minority. Decision Desk HQ projected the win on Tuesday night, a much-anticipated outcome for the GOP after two previous disappointing election cycles. https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/2330182/republicans-regain-control-of-senate-in-major-election-night-victory.html
What happens next is anyone’s guess
Statement by Netanyahu Why He Fired Gallant
As the Prime Minister of Israel, my chief obligation is to preserve the security of Israel and to achieve our total victory. In the midst of war, more than ever, complete trust is required between the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister," Netanyahu began.
"Unfortunately, even though such trust was present during the first months of the military campaign, and we had a very productive cooperation, during the past several months this trust between myself and the Defense Minister has begun to crack," he stated.
Netanyahu continued, "Defense Minister Gallant and I had substantial disagreements on the management of the military campaign, disagreements which were accompanied by public statements and actions that contravened the decisions of the Government and the Security Cabinet."
"I have made multiple attempts to resolve these disagreements, but they became increasingly wider. They were also brought to the knowledge of the public in an inappropriate manner, and what is even worse, they have reached the knowledge of the enemy; our enemies have taken great delight in these disagreements and have derived much benefit from them," he added.
He explained that "different opinions in open debates, as anyone who knows me can attest to, are my way of holding discussions and consultations, and making decisions. Everyone knows that. However, the increasingly wide crisis of confidence between myself and the Defense Minister had become public knowledge, and that crisis is hindering the continued proper administration of the military campaign."
"I am not the only one with this opinion; in both the Government and the Security Cabinet, the majority of the members of which, virtually all members, share the feeling that this state of affairs cannot continue," he noted.
In view of the above, I have decided today to remove the Defense Minister from his post. In his stead, I have decided to appoint Minister Israel Katz to this position. Israel Katz has proven his abilities and has made a contribution to national security as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance, Minister of Intelligence for five years, and equally important, as a long-standing member of the State Security Cabinet," Netanyahu declared.
Israel Katz brings to the table an impressive combination of rich experience and executive capabilities. He is known as a man of action who combines responsibility with reserved decisiveness, all important qualities for driving a military campaign," he said.
He further stated that former Minister Gideon Sa'ar would take Minister Katz's place as Foreign Minister. "Also, I have spoken today with Minister Gideon Sa'ar and proposed that he join the coalition along with his faction and serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs. As a member of the Government and Security Cabinet for many years, Gideon Sa'ar will bring to the table much experience and consideration in the areas of policy and security, and will be a significant addition to our leadership team."

Ivanka Trump on her Birthday: Lessons Learned Over Many Years
One of the lessons she described is to avoid “lashon hara”.
Here is the full list:
1. Family and friends are everything. Nourish these relationships, check in on them, and let people know you care, even across distances. As Esther Perel says, “The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.”
2. Forgive people—it frees you more than anyone else.
3. Everyone was sent to teach you something. Every person you meet holds a mirror to a lesson your soul needs to grow.
4. Avoid Lashon Hara / Gossip. Choose words that heal, not harm.
5. Trust yourself. Identify your core values and live in alignment with them; this may mean setting firm boundaries for yourself and with others.
6. Nourish your body. Eating whole, locally grown, nutritious foods fuels your energy and spirit. (But enjoy that occasional piece of cake without guilt—indulgence is one of life’s joystoo!)
7. Get sunshine daily. It makes the rest of your day—and night—better.
8. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.” – Carl Jung
Bring awareness to your hidden patterns, or they’ll quietly script your life story as if it were destiny.
9. Strong body, strong mind. Move your body daily, lift weights, play sports, and embrace play.
10. Strive for three daily wins: a physical win, a mental win, and a spiritual win.
@naval says, “A calm mind, a fit body, and a house full of love. These things can’t be bought; they must be earned.”
11. Cultivate self-mastery. As Marcus Aurelius said, “You have power over your mind—not outside events.” Focus inward; true strength lies in controlling your response, not the world around you.
12. Guard your peace. Epictetus observed, “Anyone capable of angering you becomes your master.” Mastery over self means others don’t control your state of mind.
13. Be open to the truth, wherever it leads. Listen, reflect, challenge, and grow. Cultivate creativity and expansion in life and embrace new ideas, connections, and art.
14. Get curious. About your partner, your kids, your friends, and the world around you.
15. Approach people and life with love and positivity. @DollyParton said, “I don’t criticize and condemn; I love and accept.”
16. “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” – Henry David Thoreau. Every choice is a trade of your time and energy; spend them on what truly matters.
17. “Thinking is difficult; that’s why most people judge.” – Carl Jung What you judge, you cannot understand. Instead, observe, study, and learn.
She concluded the thread: “Here’s to another year of growth, love, and meaningful moments”
Earlier this year, Ivanka appeared on the Lex Fridman podcast, and among the many topics covered, Fridman asked Ivanka how she coped with the enormous amount of attacks she suffered and how she remained stoic.
She responded that she feels things “very deeply” and she felt both the positive and negative in a deep way. She then discussed how evil the concept of “lashon hara” is in Judaism.

IDF Soldiers Sing Praise To God After Destroying Hezbollah Base In LebanonShalom Pollack: HILLTOP TOURING
VISIT REMOTE HILLTOP FARMS WITH SHALOM POLLACK
Rabbi Weissman
The Erev Rav REALLY want to draw "haredim" into the meat grinder. They're having a blast grinding up the Dati Leumi, but Molech is hungry for "haredim".
Aside from the costume, nothing seems "haredi" about this guy. Since when do haredim have Facebook accounts with thousands of friends and followers, attend The Open University, and have photographers in tow to take pictures of them for IDF propaganda?
I got a kick out of this line: "I am aware of the possibility that during the basic training I will feel that I am not mentally or physically capable of the role of a combat soldier, and should that be the case, I will devote all my activities in the brigade on the spiritual and emotional level, with the help of God."

An anonymous commenter replied to “ https://habayitah.blogspot.com/2024/11/there-is-better-way-to-save-jewish.html”
Agree wholeheartedly with your very wise suggestion. There is nothing like Torah, sitting and learning that clears the heart & mind. May H' Bless every one of our chayalim to recover fully from the traumas they suffered.
So much about the counter attack against our brutal enemy was wrong. From beginning up until now. From what we read and learn from all the news is that it wasn't by happenstance. There must be an impartial investigation to why this war has caused so much suffering, death and mental trauma.
Truthfully, H' is showing Am Yisrael and the world that it is not by our might that we succeed. The people started to idolize the IDF, but now, it's almost Geulah time and Hashem is showing us that there is no one to rely on except our Father in Heaven and not relying on outsiders (others).
We must realize it is not our strength & wisdom when we succeed,
Hashem is showing us who is in charge.
The soldiers realize this and they are sadly being betrayed by leadership.
Full recovery & speedy Refuah Shleimah to each and every one of our holy chayalim.
But, in the meantime, these holy soldiers are suffering and your suggestion is the wisest. May our tefilot be answered by davening and donating to this vital
cause.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO SAVE JEWISH NESHOMOS!
There must be a better way!
“As soldiers return from the front, many families are realizing that the father and husband who left them have changed. Months on the ground facing brutal terrorists has made its mark, and their families are now facing challenges as they return home.
“In reaction, Organization Shomrei Yisroel has identified 16 families in need of help and is campaigning to give them access to much-needed emotional support and therapy.
“Moved by the initiative, a soldier's wife shared, “We were worried sick for months, and that’s had its toll on us. My husband returned as a changed man, and honestly, I’m a changed woman too. I waited so long for his return but it’s been harder than I’ve ever thought.”
“With no way to pay for therapy themselves, Organization Shomrie Yisroel organized an emergency campaign to raise necessary funds. While the State covers initial therapy, these families need an additional $815 each for a round of crucial sessions. Shomrei Yisroel is now close to their goal of $13,000, and they are asking for additional support to ensure these soldiers can continue the therapy they desperately need.
“My kids and I really need this, but we can’t pay for it on our own. We’ve given up so much for the country, please don’t let us suffer from the scars now too.” https://chesedtoday.com/campaigns/support/?utm_source=a7-support-0916&utm_medium=support

THERE IS A BETTER WAY AND THE COST IS NEGLIGIBLE! AND APPROPRIATE FOR THESE FAMILIES
Yes, I propose that they begin counseling these emotionally and spiritually fractured Jewish Neshomas with the wisdom of Moshe Rabbeinu and our Holy Torah.
How?
Bring them into the Beis Medrash and draw them into the ‘arms’ of Hashem into the healing Torah. This is the perfect way to save these neshomas from the kefira of Zionist ideology that only by the strength of the IDF and the anti-religious psychological approach can Jewish Neshomas find wholeness and peace of purpose in a culture aiming to kill the pintele yid.

LISTEN TO RFK…..
…….when he tells the audience about Pres. Eisenhower and his famous speech and what RFK explains …..about the ‘medical industrial complex’ following that? RFK is a good human being; he’s been through alot in his life and has become “G-d knowledgeable” and a strong advocate for children’s health and the health of humanity in general.
