100 years ago American women received the right to vote. I think it is time to consider canine suffrage. For those who scoff at the idea of letting a domesticated animal with limited intelligence vote, consider that nearly 63,000,000 US citizens voted for the Golden Deceiver to be president, a man who has never read the Constitution or anything but his clippings as far as I can tell.

Halloween is controversial in many segments of the Jewish community. Halloween originated as a pagan festival, and was later adapted by the Catholic Church as All Hallow’s Eve, preceding All Saints Day on November 1. Because of these roots, many Jews do not consider the holiday appropriate to celebrate; however, others view it simply in modern-day terms as an American fun neighborhood celebration with candy, costumes, and parties. Given that history, the holiday is largely unrecognized in Israel, though in recent years there have been some Halloween celebrations–not door-to-door trick-or-treating for children, but among young people who celebrate in nightclubs, bars, and community centers.

At first, it may seem a bit of a stretch, but President Trump can trace the blossoming of what he calls “my incredible deal-making ability” to a childhood meeting with Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the late, revered leader of worldwide Lubavatcher Chassidim. [Satire by Joel H. Cohen]

Lawrence Baron, Trivia, Humor & SatireMy owner suffers from insomnia. It has become so bad that he has begun seeing a Behavioral Therapist to teach him proper sleep hygiene. I felt hurt that he didn’t consult with me first. After all, I sleep most of the day and never had a problem with falling asleep or waking up at night. Sometimes I sleep so deeply that I twitch my legs as if someone was rubbing my stomach. Since he hasn’t heeded my barks of sleeping advice, I am writing this column to share some of my tips. If it works, he can fire his therapist and give me bone. [Elona Baron as told to Laurie Baron]
It’s not widely known, but President Trump has become something of a Biblical scholar…or, at least, a fan. His affection started when daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared began reading him Torah stories at bedtime to help him sleep. [Satire by Joel H. Cohen]

Lawrence Baron, Trivia, Humor & SatireIn a rare move, President Donald Trump backed down from one of his highly-criticized plans—to hold next year’s G-7 meeting at Trump National Doral, one of his many hotel/resorts world-wide. The plan was seen as a violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which prohibits government officials from receiving money and gifts from foreign governments. Trump has previously been denounced for maintaining his ownership and/or control over many golf resorts, hotels, and other facilities, all potentially a violation of that clause. The Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC recently instituted a change to make that property more attractive to Jews. What was that change? [Mark D. Zimmerman]

Walking around the neighborhood, I have noticed that many houses bedecked with Halloween decorations. When I see bones scattered on lawns, I wag my tail and chew on them, only to be disappointed when I discover they’re plastic! Humans, if you’re really are my best friends, go to the butcher and buy some real meat bones to scatter on your property. If you leave such a delicious treat, I will never pee or poop on your lawn.
