Humbled.

The announcement led to widespread speculation about the fate of the popular and beloved Jake Turx, who has held the position for years. Turx implied that he is getting promoted to Chief WH Correspondent.
Turx posted: “Thrilled to finally get upgraded to chief White House correspondent and I look forward to teaching Shloime everything I know.”
However Turx is known for his wit and sarcasm, and it is not clear if he was being serious.

During the election, Zionce attended a Trump rally and a Kamala rally and described on Youtube the stark differences between the two crowds.

never understood
how is is worth paying Turx a fulltime job for a weekly two page article
unless he worked for others at the same time
Mazel Tov. It should be with tremendous הצלחה.
I love the travel video where Shloime Zionce places custom made stickers of a strong Jewish arm wrapped in tefilin, all over a European town who killed their Yidden in Holocaust.
Finally some news to print. Such a major change up in the correspondence staff.
I would like to apply for the junior correspondences to the white house – I know where Washington is!
Makes sense. His payos are longer
That means no more traveling for Shlomy beyond the Beltway 🙁 I love reading / watching him on his voyages. There’s something special about his authenticity.
They’re both skillful writers. It’s no secret that Turx rubbed Trump the wrong way, perhaps this was necessary?
How’s he going to cover the White House while living in Texas?
Enough with the mockery of the rebbe ! Enough is enough ! At least he is another Jew show a little respect a little Ahvas yisrael. Soldiers are dying and you sit posting nonsense. Curb your tongue. Get your information straight that would be nice as well. Shlomi is not Lubavitch. His wife comes from a Chabad background.
