Try Translating Hebrew Slang Literally Into English…

‘Today was On the Face!’

HUH? What in the world does he mean with that title? What is “on the face”?

In honor of Purim, continue reading and see how many Hebrew expressions and words are translated directly into English and how funny they appear in that fashion…enjoy! (Hebrew equivalent words listed under the post…try to do this without peeking first!)

I remember the day well; it really was on the face (1). When I first woke up, I really thought it would be in order (2), but as it turned out it was a waste of time(3).

I arrived at the office and saw what looked like a pretty(4) piece of cake on the table. Then, I put my heart(5) that someone was working on me(6). It was not cake at all! It was just a plastic blob that others wanted me to think was cake. Just then, Dave walked in and looked at my face and said “plaiiiiin!”(7) At first, I was angry on him but after a few minutes, I commented: “Biiiig! (8) You really worked on me! (9) Waste of time!” (10)

After that first, disappointing incident, I decided to flow(11) and see if I could also work on someone. And I knew exactly who I would work on: Yonatan! After all, he truly lives in a movie (12)and will not have any idea what I was up to.

יהודים אתיופים להר הבית

לכאורה העדה הזו צ”ל מאד שייכת!

א. הם נהגו בדיני טהרה בחו”ל (עד שהורידו אותם מזה).
ב. אם “יחמירו” נגד הרדב”ז הם כורתים את הענף עליו הם יושבים, כמובן.
אשמח לשמוע מהקוראים.

How Americans (Including Expats) Can Keep Their Gold Safe From Uncle Sam

FBI Raids of Safe Deposit Boxes

By 

International Man

February 9, 2024

International Man: Recently, the FBI raided 700 safe deposit boxes in Beverly Hills.

They opened and searched through the content of every single box, regardless of whether there was any probable cause that individual box owners had committed any crime.

The FBI then attempted to confiscate anything worth more than $5,000 through civil asset forfeiture proceedings. Again, this was regardless of whether there was any evidence of wrongdoing by the individual box owners.

What do you make of this story?

Doug Casey: This is another of many indications that the FBI is totally corrupt and out of control. There’s no indication the agent-in-charge was even reprimanded, much less fired. It’s just one agency, but the fifteen other Praetorian agencies are no better.

An even bigger problem is that the rule of law itself is dead. At this point, almost any federal agency can do whatever they want. If you don’t like it and want to fight them, it’s going to cost a ton of legal fees.

The federal government is now controlled by actual Jacobins. They’re inclined to engage in lawfare against citizens—especially those who don’t share their views.

What’s in it for them? When they perform a civil asset forfeiture, a certain percentage goes to the agency that does it.

That money can buy cop toys and training to pad their resumes. That gives them a personal incentive to do things that are, in fact, criminal. It’s a very serious matter. It’s only going to get worse when CBDCs are initiated—they’ll make civil asset forfeitures, fines, and asset freezes much easier when all your money is visible and available at the central bank. It’s one more reason to own gold—but not store it in a US safe deposit box.

תנאי לקבלת התפילות – תכלת

רעיא מהימנא פינחס רכ”ו ב’:

אמר קודשא בריך הוא למשריין דלעילא, מאן דמצלי, בין יהא גבור, בין יהא חכם, בין יהא עשיר, בזכוון גבור, חכם בתורה, ועשיר במצות, לא ייעול בהיכלא דא צלותיה, עד דתחזון ביה סימנין אלין, דיהב גרמיה ביה תקונין דילי, ובגין דא אוקמוה מארי מתניתין, אם הרב דומה למלאך יהו”ה צבאות תורה יבקשו מפיהו, למאן דיהא רשים באלין סימנין בלבושיה, תקבלון צלותיה, סימנא חדא דיהא רשים בצלותיה בתכלת בכנפי מצוה ציצית, דאיהו דמי לרקיע דאיהו מטטרו”ן, דיוקנא דיליה תכלת שבציצית.
