Ynet ^ | 11.13.25 | Sivan Raviv

Posted on 11/14/2025 2:31:55 AM PST by Milagros

Michele Weiss has made history as the first female Orthodox Jewish mayor in the United States, winning decisively as a Republican in a heavily Democratic Cleveland suburb after building a reputation for fiscal responsibility and bipartisan cooperation over 15 years on the city council.

Weiss, a mother and grandmother who has lived in University Heights for 28 years, will take office in January after rising from volunteer work with the League of Women Voters to vice mayor, championing environmental sustainability and municipal infrastructure along the way.

She certainly swam against the tide. Republican voters rarely turn out in municipal elections. Unfortunately, the crazy Democrat base does. The crazier they are the more likely they are to vote.

“winning decisively as a Republican in a heavily Democratic Cleveland suburb “

If this were a dem in a repub stronghold all we would hear is how this was a bellwether and how the conservatives are collapsing.

But instead this will get buried deep.

We just lost two Public Service Commission seats because of exactly that.

We need Republicans to turn out for everything, ever time, ever race, even those for 2nd assistant dog catcher. A little less sportyball, a little more civic duty, would go a long way to fixing what ails us.

Yeah, that raised my eyebrow as well. If your municipality has a “sustainability committee”, WATCH OUT! That’s where Leftists will congregate, organize, and take over your local government.

"Makes me wonder how conservative she is."

The fact that she could even come close to getting elected in a place like University Heights conclusively answers that question. (Spoiler alert: the answer is something like "not at all").

But she DID get elected, so that's something. Republicans normally do well to even break 30% there these days.

Reminds me of a joke.

Q: How do you know you are at an Orthodox Jewish wedding?
A: The bride's mother is pregnant.

Q: How do you know you are at an Conservative Jewish wedding?
A: The bride is pregnant.

Q: How do you know you are at an Reform Jewish wedding?
A: The Rabbi is pregnant.

I am not talking about "injecting" anything.

She is

"NOT GUILTY!"

.........Which is an ejaculation based on her othodoxy.

You posted "Not Guilty!" with a photo of a woman.

Surely you know that it's customary on FR that when one posts a woman's photo with the phrase "Not Guilty!", it's intended as praise for her physical appearance.

Hardly. She is NOT GUILTY regardless of her physical appearance. YHWH says so.So you have a disagreement with him?Not my fault,

One cannot restrict the use of 1st amendment free speech metaphor on FR.

Nice try though.

Not guilty of what? What was she accused of? What are you talking about?

One cannot restrict the use of 1st amendment free speech metaphor on FR.

What has any of this to do with the First Amendment? Who was trying to "restrict" your speech?

Nice try though.

What "try." What was I "trying"?

At FR, "Not Guilty!" plus a photo of a woman is comment on her looks. So I responded that she was fat.

Then you got all offended and weird.
