1. What do these products have in common? They have all been certified kosher by one of the 225 kosher certification agencies in the US.

2. What is kosher? According to Orthodox Union, the world's largest kosher certification agency that certifies 70% of all kosher food, kosher means "fit to eat according to Jewish dietary law." Weird that laundry detergent & disinfectant wipes would need certification, right? 🤔

3. Currently, there are about 1.5 million products that are certified kosher. To obtain certification, manufacturers must contact a Jewish certifying agency and pay a fee for a Rabbi to fly out and inspect the ingredients, equipment, & cooking process to make sure they're kosher.

4. Even equipment like pots & pans must be certified kosher. In all cases, the inspecting agency requires daily, weekly, monthly or yearly inspections, lest the Jewish agency revokes the certification. Consequently, inspection frequency affects the fee food manufacturers must pay

5. In a 1989 NY Times article "What's New in Kosher Foods," Rabbi Harvey Sentor says "the cost depends on the complexity of the product. A food with sensitive ingredients might require more surveillance by a rabbi."

More Rabbi "surveillance" means higher fees for manufacturers

1. This is a scene from the US version of the episodic TV series called "Shameless." This particular scene depicts two children in the presence of a naked, obese man getting out of a swimming pool.

2. Here is a continuation of the same scene from Shameless, depicting a young girl observing a man drying off his genitals.

3. Shameless follows the story of a predominantly poor white family in Chicago and is rife with themes like incest, self-fellatio, promiscuity, homosexuality, miscegenation, religious sacrilege, recreational drug use, & sodomy. Unfortunately, many of these themes involve children

4. Many would consider the show morally bankrupt, using ribald humor as a tool to normalize degeneracy. For example, this scene depicts an elderly woman reminiscing with her pre-teen niece about the first time she "kissed a colored penis."

5. Now in it's 8th season, Shameless was adapted from the original UK series by Hollywood producer John Wells. Wells is known for producing tv series such as ER, Third Watch, and West Wing, among others.

1. A popular "Conservative" pundit is working with an Israelis to censor Americans while claiming to be a champion of free speech. He was the first to retweet their call to ban my account, and also among their first followers.

Let's talk about the Jewish war on free speech.

2. Before we begin, it is necessary to point out that earlier last month this "Conservative" reported about the "threat" of social media censorship. Yet, three weeks later, he participated in a Jewish campaign to censor a fellow American.

3. In adopting this role of Anti-Semitism Policeman, he has betrayed the foundational American principle of free speech and given credence to the claim that "hate speech is not free speech." Has he forgotten the importance of free speech? Perhaps a refresher is in order...

4. “If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other, it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us, but freedom for the thought that we hate.”
- Justice Oliver Wendell

5. “Censorship reflects a society’s lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.”
- Justice Potter Stewart

1. Is race really a social construct? If the notion of race is abolished, what are the implications? Who benefits? Who doesn't? Let us consider...

2. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find evidence that race exists - it's diligently scrubbed from Wiki, buried in Google's search results, and omitted from textbooks. The defintion of "race" has even been quietly removed from the dictionary. Do you disagree? Too bad.

3. Those that claim race is a social construct typically argue that there is no chromosomal marker for skin color like there is for male (XY) or female (XX) sex determination. And the fact that humans share 99% of their DNA leaves little room for genetic variation.

4. As such, they argue race isn't discrete like sex determination, but is instead a continuous spectrum. This implies that a person who is one race can also share some phenotypic characteristics with another race, qualifying them as partial members of multiple racial groups.

5. The spectrum of people is becoming even more continuous with the relatively recent phenomena of hybridization. Open border immigration policy is increasingly mixing DNA of distinct groups of people that would otherwise only have access to local gene pools.
