T. Belman. Could it be that The Department of Defense threatened a coup in order to bring Trump to heel. Perhaps they visited Trump and demanded he capitulate or they would arrest him or something to that effect. Trump was left with no choice but to send everybody home and to accept defeat. The the National Guard was called in by Pence, not Trump. In short order the objections to the certifications collapsed and Biden was affirmed as the President Elect and Trump announced a peaceful transition.
Nothing else can explain his abrupt reversal.
On the positive side, Trump didn’t say Biden would be the recipient of that transfer. Nor did he say that he has conceeded.

It’s sad as so many Jews are in the dark – at the moment.
This will change very soon.
Good shabbos

Sin – shmin
@ Davidowitz:
You are right. It is a Chilool Hashem (Desecration of God) to live as an Orthodox Jew in the Diaspora , today. Judaism will be maintained by those Jews, religious and secular, who live in Israel.
As an aside, Shai Ben Tekoa of Phantom Nation commented that Empires, and the like, seem to have 4 century durations (10 generations of 40 years). America was founded by the Pilgrims in 1620. So you do the math.
Shai also noted that surveys consistently show that about 80% of American Jews vote for Obama, Hillary, Biden, (this slate Democratic Senatorial candidates on Atlanta). The Talmudic Sages in the Midrash comment that 4/5 – 80% of the Jews in Egypt died in the plague of darkness.
Today Israel is the only place with a positive birthrate for the Jewish people.
Personally, I feel like I’m living in an East Bloc country behind the Iron Curtain- more correctly, the Great Wall of China. I have to go to places like Israpundit for my News. I’m dropping my subscription to the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal (as well, as Fox News owned by the Murdochs) has become part of the swamp and has censored all news of Rudy Guliani investigation of the 2020 Election voter fraud.
“He did not concede. The statement reads as follows:
“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”

It’s only 6:25 AM in DC, after 12 hours of curfew. It’s pretty early, to be making assessments or drawing conclusions about what is the next phase of Team Trump’s plan. Only one thing, it seems, has come to light: some of the president’s most trusted friends have turned out to be enemies. What happened yesterday could have been expected, from the police over-reaction to the Twitter attack on free speech to the contorted Fake News reporting.
According to Simon Parkes, President Trump would give the coup plotters as much opportunity as possible to come clean, before closing in on them. Meanwhile, he would pursue every ordinary possible to correct the fraud without more drastic measures. I think Phase I ended yesterday, and we are moving on to Phase II.
I am very surprised to read your conclusions.
Most secular Jews are full of mitzvahs so you are not looking in the right way.
We don’t give up on each other.
What special standing have you achieved to evaluate Orthodox Jews?
I would suggest you keep spreading good deeds in ever greater circles aroond you beginning with those closest to you and leave the Judgement to Him.
Best wishes,
As much as I admire Pres. Trump, it is my opinion that as far as Israel is concerned, Trump has fulfilled the “job” God wanted of him. As for the Jews of America, anything that Trump has done, or will do, if by some miracle he is reelected, will be of no consequence except to “defend” the exile. For those secular Jews who choose to remain in exile they will continue to assimilate and eventually disappear. As for the Orthodox Jews , they are not really orthodox at all. They have violated the commandment to live in their own God given land, and will have to bear the consequences of their sin.
