It has been almost six-hundred days since the terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel resulted in the death of 1,200 people. The world has indeed shifted gears when it comes to Israel and the Jewish people. History books will remember October 7, 2023, as the day when everything changed for Modern Israel and global Jews.

The music of Kanye West (also known as Ye) has never been my cup of tea, but, as an artist myself, I understand that art is in the ear of the beholder. Kanye's music is almost always controversial and very often laced with explicit language. I guess that is one way to garner attention from […]
It was just a few years ago, when several red heifers were spotted in Rockwall, Texas.
