שר הביטחון הנכנס אביגדור ליברמן, הגיע לכותל המערבי מייד עם השבעתו, וקרא פרקי תהילים

It's incredible how a Breitbart article titled Black Outrage Over Gorilla Shot To Protect ‘White Privilege’. Just One Problem… has generated so many anti-Semitic comments. Does Breitbart check comments before publishing?

The NYPost informs its readers about the tragic death of Jack Jakubek, 22, "a college swimmer from upstate New York [who]drowned during lifeguard tryouts over the weekend." http://nypost.com/2016/05/30/college-swimmer-drowns-during-lifeguard-tryouts/

Ironically, a January Facebook entry of Jack Jakubek (I think it is the same person)linked to an interesting Washington Post article titled We’re lucky if we get to be old, physician and professor believes.

Instead, he sees too many baby boomers clinging to tropes that no longer serve them.

“It’s very American language — ‘You’re as young as you feel, and I feel like I’m 22 years old.’ That’s not good, that’s not right . . . and the reason it’s wrong is it doesn’t allow you to be who you are.”

The Blaze reports on a study about morality.

"When it comes to moral truth, just 35 percent of Americans surveyed believe that it is absolute.." http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/05/30/the-end-of-moral-absolutes-as-christian-morality-is-being-ushered-out-new-study-reveals-where-americans-stand-on-ethics/
...it has been taught, R. Judah said: in the generation when the son of David comes,.... God-fearing men despised,.. and truth entirely lacking..."
