Life Donald Trump’s Groping Is All About Power — Not Sex
The hypothetical of the moment goes as follows: what if Hillary Clinton were the candidate grabbing opposite-sex colleagues without their consent? What if men, rather than women, were being objectified and drooled over during the presidential election? The same question has been posed (at least) twice in the past few days. Most recently, there was…

News Ivanka Trump Returns To Campaign Trail After Dad’s #TrumpTape Debacle
Ivanka Trump took an unexplained break from the campaign trail that coincided with the release of a bombshell video in which her famous father bragged about assaulting women — and several women came forward to claim that Donald Trump groped them.

News Fuming Behind the Scenes, the Republican Jewish Coalition Effectively Dumps Trump
Uneasy from the start with Donald Trump as their party’s presidential candidate, Republican Jewish activists are fuming and fretting in the wake of revelations about Trump’s lewd character and alleged sexual harassment.

It’s really just an objective fact. Not sure how even liberal kikes could claim otherwise….

The Schmooze 10 Anti-Semitic Tweets That Prove Trump’s Dog Whistling Was Real
A whole lot has been said about Trump’s disastrous (and, come on, Trump supporters, it was disastrous) performance during the Second Presidential Debate. From his shameful and insulting use of Bill Clinton’s accusers as props to his threat to literally imprison his opponent to his pacing around the debate floor like a trapped, orange animal,…

Israel News Yehuda Glick, Temple Provocateur and Knesset Member, Renounces Trump
After the Friday night release of an audio tape in which Donald Trump bragged about committing sexual assault, Republican leaders abandoned their presidential nominee in droves. That trend extended across the ocean, with Yehuda Glick, a former American citizen and Likud member of the Knesset, renouncing his support for the party’s standard bearer. “Mr. Trump,…
