Rep. Don Bacon: “I Committed to Rabbi Hofstedter That We in Congress
Will Do Everything in Our Power to Ensure the Safety of the Jewish People”
Sometimes wonderful, illuminating flashes of light can come from the most unlikely of places.
This week, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) made a statement that any person of faith or science would find utterly uncontroversial, yet sent a wave of panic and posturing throughout the Left. They affirmed that since they ascribe to the scientific fact that an unborn baby is a human being, Catholics who advocate for abortion should be denied Communion. This includes self-proclaimed Catholics like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.
One of the most inspirational and patriotic sports movies of all time is 2004’s Miracle. This movie was about more than the United States victory over the Soviet Union in Lake Placid in 1980; it was about what we as Americans were fighting for. But the Age of Miracle is over.
How did New York City become such a disaster?
The progressive Left has pushed our politicians over the brink. Until recently, such antics would have been considered normal: no bail laws, lawlessness in the streets, innocent children gunned down, police having their hands tied – unable to enforce the laws, and unsafe subways even in the middle of the day. The Queens community, specifically the Orthodox Jewish contingent, feels threatened by anti-Semitic attacks and the BDS movement. We are in a fight for our lives!
The following is an open letter to Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld, the Rabbinic Consultant for the Queens Jewish Link.
Dear Rabbi Schonfeld:
In the least shocking news of the week, Ilhan Omar said something anti-American and antisemitic. In the slightly less shocking news of the week, Democratic leadership does nothing about it. In slightly less shocking news than that, the only Democrats under fire by their Party are the two Senators who aren’t planning on blowing up our system of government.
