Trump’s ‘God Bless the USA Bible’ is No Joke

…e used] under paid license from CIC Ventures LLC,” which, according to the Washington Post, “is a conduit to Trump — personally, if not politically.” Trump’s foray into the Bible business has already garnered predictable responses from various news outlets. Politico, for example, wryly begins by telling the reader, “Add ‘Bibles’ to the list of items Donald Trump is peddling as his legal fees continue to grow.” Trump’s embrace of a Christian nation…

‘Anti-Zionism = Antisemitism’ isn’t Just Wrong, It’s the Problem

…ntioned Yoel Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe and said, “I am not sure his grandchildren will be Jewish.” The Satmar rebbe didn’t have grandchildren as his daughters tragically died young in Europe before the war. And Teitelbaum built the largest Hasidic court in the world with an intermarriage rate of almost zero.

…s yes, he’s got a pretty good shot of it. According to PRRI, he has decent numbers among the white suburbanites who will make up the swing vote of the election (to the extent that the “swing vote” is a meaningful category). That’s far from a guarantee, however, especially with a candidate this volatile. Democrats also have a realistic opening to deny Trump re-election.
