Dear Editor:
Once again, Rav Yoel Schonfeld has hit the nail on the head: American Jews are suicidal. Is there another religious or ethnic group besides Jews who consistently votes against its own interests? American Jews are more concerned with liberal causes such as the right of a woman to kill her unborn children, the rights of illegal immigrants, the rights of criminals, the right to marry someone of your own gender, and numerous other left-wing causes.
American Jews do not seem to care about the anti-Semitism that is raging across the country, the right to practice one’s religion without governmental interference, or the threat to the very existence of the State of Israel. Jews are programmed to vote for candidates with the letter “D” next to their name. Had Hitler (yimach sh’mo) himself come to America after World War II and ran for office as a Democrat, he would have gotten a majority of the Jewish vote.

Democrats and Big Tech Collude to Undermine Democracy
Dear Editor:
The anti-Trump faction in this publication often bristles when Trump says the 2020 election was “rigged.” But guess what? It’s happening again. Facebook was caught censoring the iconic photos of President Trump in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on his life and later issued an “apology” for the “error.” Google also attempted to thwart searches related to the assassination attempt by omitting references to the assassination attempt in its autocomplete feature. Try Googling “Trump rally” and you’ll end up with results for Kamala Harris. For the anti-Trumpers who think this is whining in 2024 and sour grapes re: 2020, you should ask yourself: Why is it that all censorship and every single Big Tech “mistake” only goes in one direction – against conservatives? Big Tech and Democrats are in bed with each other and actively colluding to rig the election again.
And while we’re on the topic of rigging, Joe Biden is once again attempting to subvert democracy with his so called “Supreme Court reforms.” In what can only be described as an effort to show proof of life, Biden’s proposal, like his Presidency, will be dead on arrival whenever it hits the House. But does anyone else find Biden’s proposal repugnant and reeking of hypocrisy? A man who has been in politics for six decades and is currently President, though he likely is too senile at this point to know it, wants to impose term limits? A man who accumulated tens of millions of dollars while living on a government salary through corrupt dealings now wants to impose ethics rules on the court? This guy is so lucky the people he surrounded himself with are as corrupt as he is, or he would’ve been 25th Amendment-ed out of office long ago.

Irony and Ignorance
Dear Editor:
Oh, the irony: Vice President David Pecoraro writes that he will be proudly voting for Kamala Harris in November. In the same letter, he vociferously complains that Donald Trump lies. Yet he conveniently omits the biggest lie of all and what is likely the largest scandal and coverup in US political history that Kamala Harris willingly participated in: The three-and-a-half-year lie the American public was fed that President Biden was and is of sound mind!
And the ignorance: VP Pecoraro cites Trump’s refusal to testify at his phony criminal trials as evidence of him being a liar. It appears VP Pecoraro needs to brush up on his knowledge of our Constitution. The Fifth Amendment gives criminal defendants the right not to testify. I don’t know whether any Jury Instructions on Trump’s Fifth Amendment rights were given over to the jury in the otherwise phony criminal trials, but often judges instruct juries not to draw any negative inferences from a defendant not testifying. I suggest that you, VP Pecoraro, do the same!

Where Are the Feminists?
Dear Editor:
Feminism is dead. Unless it can be used within the context of murdering fetuses. How else to explain the sanctioned intergender beating that a female boxer took at the hands of her male opponent at the Olympics this week?
For those of you who enjoyed that (mis)match, more good news: The Advocates for Trans Equality has endorsed Kamala Harris for President. So, assuming Kamala Harris is elected President, we could see many more sanctioned beatings for women in the name of “trans equality” and many more murdered fetuses in the name of “reproductive rights.” Lovely.

Dear Editor:
Democratic Party Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, as part of the Biden administration, along with previously serving as one of California’s two United States Senators (2017-2021), California District Attorney (2011-2017), and San Francisco District Attorney (2004-2011). Harris has a track record that she would prefer voters forget about.
Consider that Harris was appointed Border Czar by President Biden. Under her watch, she only visited the border once, while over eight million migrants crossed into our nation. Harris is also on record calling for eliminating fossil fuel, ending all private health insurance, providing free health care to illegal immigrants, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), supporting late-term abortions, allowing criminals to vote from jail, expanding the Supreme Court, allowing transgender men to compete against biological women in sports, and, according to the Congressional Budget Office, increasing the national debt by $7.9 trillion. Harris also encouraged people to support a bail fund for those who participated and were arrested in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, riots.
While Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump showed up at the recent National Association of Black Journalists Conference in Chicago, Harris was a no show. Watch how the liberal media, fellow liberal Democrats, and the Harris campaign attempt to rewrite her past history on these issues that voters are interested in. Revisionist political historians may be the greatest threat to our democratic Republic with free and honest elections.
Sincerely,

The Pitfalls of the Evan Gershkovich Swap
Dear Editor:
The prisoner exchange between the US and Russia that freed journalist Evan Gershkovich is being lauded by the White House and the lapdog, leftist press as a victory for the Harris/Biden administration. (Hard to call this the Biden/Harris administration, when the old guy doesn’t even know where he is anymore.
Further proof that Biden is no longer in Olam HaZeh was his shot at Trump, rhetorically asking why Trump didn’t free Gershkovich when Trump was President, despite the fact that Gershkovich was imprisoned two years after Trump left office.
The deal included the release of a murderer and other assorted bad actors. The deal will only encourage foreign terrorist states to imprison more Americans and demand the release of more murderers from our prisons. One of the major reasons for the decline of this country is leftist dogma that, despite the fact that we are a world superpower, we are not supposed to win any wars. There is a reason why the country that, on paper, should mop the floor with any opponent hasn’t won a war in decades. Only with the defeatist attitude that’s pervasive in the State Department could this deal be viewed as a win.
The defeatist attitude also explains how the White House incredibly views the Afghanistan debacle as a victory and why they’re so afraid of Israel fully dismantling Hamas. It is so pervasive that while the feckless current administration has done nothing to gain the release of the Americans being held in Gaza, they issued a warning to Israel after Israel eliminated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh last week. Trump is America’s only hope for some respite from these pathetic, morale-destroying foreign policy decisions.

Dear Editor:
I got my QJL all wet when I spit out my coffee Shabbos morning laughing so hard after reading Mr. Pecoraro’s letter. Kamala Harris is the most qualified candidate on the ballot? Seriously? You wrote “I am sane.” I would question that. Donald Trump was literally the President of the United States. That automatically makes him qualified, because he has already held that position. The better question is: What has Kamala Harris accomplished that makes her qualified?
She’s failed on the border. US Customs and Border Protection officers recently seized approximately four million blue fentanyl pills – weighing more than 1,000 pounds! Can you imagine how much is getting through the open border? She is failing women. She’s a champion for women except when they are getting beaten up by men pretending to be women in high school, collegiate, and Olympic sports.
I digress, but very important FYI: This November, New Yorkers will be voting on whether transgenders and gender identity should be added to the State constitution. I would encourage everyone to vote NO!
Seventy percent of Jews will vote for her? I think not. Mr. Pecoraro made that up. Maybe the non-spiritual ones will, but those who actually believe the tenets of Judaism and its Creator, that Israel is our Homeland and Jerusalem is our eternal capital, will most certainly not. Because Kamala Harris hates Israel and she is an anti-Semite. It doesn’t matter that her husband was born Jewish, so was George Soros. She is an integral part of the administration, which is withholding necessary munitions for Israel to defeat its enemies. She is more concerned with the voters in Minneapolis and Dearborn than the Jews on college campuses.
The end of the letter is just not serious. The former President was shot in the ear, not in the chest. What is an ER report going to tell you that you don’t already know? And taking shots at J.D. Vance is a fool’s errand. The man came from nothing and worked his way up to run a successful business. He was a Marine, went to Yale Law School, and is now a sitting US Senator. He understands chain of command. We already saw that a successful businessman can pivot from CEO of a business to running the country. I’m sure he is more than capable of being the second.
Your allegiance to the Democrat Party is unquestionable. However, Mr. Pecoraro, your common sense is.
Shalom Markowitz
