Sometimes you look around and you can’t believe how lacking we as a society are in intelligence these days. But I believe in looking at the bright side of things (unless I have to look at the other side for an article), and the bright side is that our criminals are getting less intelligent as well.

DISCLAIMER: Baruch Hashem, we are living in phenomenal times, when all of the anti-Semites around us are finally outing themselves so we don’t have to wonder who they are. But with more and more of them coming out of the woodwork these days, it has come to my attention that my columns have not been very inclusive.

But what I lack in volume, I hope to make up for in volume.
