3 vital questions to ask the man wanting to marry (or date) your daughter. One sure giveaway that he’s a loser.  Hint: It has to do with his mom.  A scary interview with an intensive care hospital nurse.   If civilization was left up to women, we’d still be living in grass huts.  What sexist male pig said that?   It’s also true that there are more female fetuses aborted than male. By their feminists moms!  Why so many LUGS (lesbians until graduation) but not so many HUGS.  Participation prizes-a national disgrace.  Why Bible says “Man must leave his father & mother… Learn more about your ad choices.

What really distinguishes liberalism from conservatism.  Holding your own baby for the first time matters to all people in all places at all times.  Tennis and marshmallows do not.  Feeling hope as the sun rises is something all humans everywhere have always known.  Riding a rollercoaster ride is not. Ancient Jewish wisdom’s take on Scripture is that it covers everything that is applicable to all people everywhere, always.  Such a universal experience is laughter.  What is it and what makes some things funnier than others?  Why does so much comedy revolve around toilet functions, sexual functions and God?  Which is the better blueprint for families, companies, organizations and countries; kindness & compassion or law & discipline?  Do you know what is so funny about laughter in the Bible?  Who laughs more; liberals or conservatives?

Only about 20% of self-identifying American Jews believe in God and regard His Torah as authoritative.  And the rest?  What do they believe?  Is it true that some parts of American Jewry are viewed as the circumcised wing of the Democratic Party?  Why is so much American entertainment Jewishly flavored?  This is not true for movies and TV programing from England or France.  Is this observation anti-Semitic?  If so, call the Anti-Defamation League. Or the Southern Poverty Law Center. The truth about both these disturbing organizations. The sad story of the Christian girl who wasted seven of her best years dating two Jewish men (one after the other). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Let your Rabbi describe to you a book in his library printed in 1936 and entitled “How to Make Love”.  Today’s worst insults and most indicting criticisms:  It’s old fashioned; it’s not modern; it’s archaic; it’s outdated; it’s so yesterday.  Many mistakenly believe that any idea not sufficiently progressive is automatically false and wrong.  But what if some old ideas are actually true and right?  Learning to judge the value of an idea regardless of its vintage.  And talking of older ideas with tremendous value, let’s teach our children to court rather than date.  Why the emotional roller-coaster of teenage and young adult dating does such a good job preparing for divorce.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Is it because the Jews convinced the Romans to crucify Jesus?  No; many who hate the Jews also hate Christianity.  Is it because of Jews like Saul Alinsky, George Soros, Bernie Sanders, Sigmund Freud, Herbert Marcuse and many others?  Partially, perhaps, but many who hate the Jews have never heard of these men. Why is it that Jew hatred seems to go hand-in-hand with communism, progressivism, socialism or whatever else you wish to label the Left. Soviet style socialism hated Jews. National Socialism (Nazi) hated Jews and modern progressive socialism as found on American university campuses hates Jews.  People and places who possess pride in economic growth and wealth creation get on well with Jews.  Hatred of the free-market and loathing of wide spread individual prosperity seems to go together with hating Jews.  The more left a country leans the more likely it is to hate Israel.  Today’s show explains this bizarre pattern that is so much a part of today’s geopolitics.

This show is about the magical ten years in a man’s life; ages 13—23 years-old. These are the years in which subsequent success in life is rooted and, sadly, the years in which the origin of future failure can be found.  Here are the step-by-step success strategies that a young man should follow for positioning himself for everything good in life.  The show is not about the importance of being cool.  It is not about learning how to rap or tap dance and it is not about social media. But it is about sex and money; the two areas in which most men have the most regrets.  Here are the things you wish you knew when you were between 13 and 23 years-old.  The show starts with Shakespeare and ends with Kipling; those two dead white guys knew a thing or two!

America’s bizarre distinctions in how two human appetites are treated—sex and money.  With sex, anything that two consenting adults chose to do is viewed as nobody else’s business. Anything at all!  With money, even if two consenting adults agree to a certain job at a specific hourly rate, the government steps in to insist that employer must pay employee a minimum amount.  With sex, if one party decides not to deliver to another, not only is that fine but the other, the ‘buying’ party can be destroyed for even suggesting the deal to the reluctant ‘seller’.  With money, if one party, say, a baker, decides not to deliver to another party, the government steps in and punishes the reluctant seller.  Why hotel rooms in liberal cities are so expensive. What did Frank Sinatra/Ava Gardner, Clark Gable/Carole Lombard & Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn have in common? School sex-ed, yes but gun-ed, no? Four revolutions that changed our world.

Your spouse asks you to stop doing something. Your boss at work asks you to start doing something. You kid asks you why you’re doing something. Wouldn’t it be great to come back with the right answer every time? The answer that, a day later you still admire rather than the answer you think of a day later and wish you’d given. How do you react wisely off the cuff? By arming yourself with the right basic beliefs. But when you start off with a wrong basic belief you end up making bad intuitive decisions in all the many daily circumstance. Your rabbi equips you with an invaluable tool.

A reasoned analysis of the Florida school shooting.  Yes, there is a way to stop these tragedies, but, no, it has nothing to do with guns.  What percentage of the hundreds of people you encounter every day are really crazy?  How many so-called “homeless” are mentally imbalanced?  Do you know why they are not being cared for in medical facilities where they would be safe—and so would we?  Do you know any families being torn apart by having to struggle with a deeply troubled teenager all alone?  Is the SCOTUS ruling of Roe v. Wade in 1973 connected  in any way to the Parkland, Florida school shooting?  Why did Hitler use precious resources killing 3 million Jews in Poland in 1942 while his eastern front was crumbling at Leningrad?  Could you protect your family from a violent home invader?

Why does Socialism exercise an almost irresistible appeal to secular people?  Why are intellectuals, academics, bureaucrats, career-politicians and others drawn so powerfully to, liberalism, progressivism, well, actually to Socialism?  We cannot combat what we don’t understand.  We cannot defeat what we cannot get a hold of.  Let’s probe the real roots of the problem.  Learn more about your ad choices.
