BLACKBEARD X REVIEW: More efficient than the Federal Government
Yehuda Remer
A while back, I wrote a review for the Mantis Blackbeard. I know this is way past due (Sorry, Elise). Still, here it is—the review for the Mantis Blackbeard X. I won't get into the nitty gritty or the differences between the two because I am not a technical guy, and there are plenty of gun nerds out there who could break it down much better than I can. But I will tell you why I love the Blackbeard X. When I train with my rifle, I do it outside. That's the best way, and I stand by that. I...
JEWISH RESTAURANTS BEWARE!
Yehuda Remer
So this happened today: I was sitting in a restaurant, facing the door with a buddy from the industry. Through a window, I saw a tall, messy, dirty, and grimy man, walk by and enter the establishment. I figured he was a homeless man looking for something to eat or use the bathroom. I kept my eye on him though. After waiting by the front door and looking around for 2 minutes, the man walked to the back and entered the bathroom. I notified a staff member, who informed me that this was the second time he came in today....

Yehuda Remer

There was no avenue of escape under the despotic Pharaoh. Plague after plague decimated the land of Egypt, and tyranny still prevailed because of Pharaoh's stubbornness. At long last, after the death of his...

Yehuda Remer
Why I am No Longer a Democrat My cousin was killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting. Up until then, the media had trained me to be fearful of guns and to stereotype proponents of the Second Amendment as Southern, redneck racists. I grew up in a household where most of the world’s ills were blamed on Republicans, and my parents voted Democrat down the ballot. “They are the empathetic ones who care about the little guy,” my mother would say. However, my cousin’s death stirred up questions inside of me: Why do schools brandish “gun-free zone” signs when government...
If you want peace, prepare for war and Jacob's Meeting With Esau
Yehuda Remer
This week, Jews worldwide read from the weekly bible portion of VaYishlach. In it, we find Jacob, along with his family, riches, and abundance of livestock, on the road, preparing to meet his brother, Eisav, who has believed for the last 20 years that Jacob is dead. Since Eisav sanctioned the murder of his brother 20 years earlier, this pivotal meeting in the bible is tense and terrifying for Jacob and his family. Jacob had no idea what to expect. He had no idea how Eisav would react.How did Jacob he prepare?Jacob took three steps in his preparation for the...
