Tucker Carlson lied about being probed by CIA,
Senior White House officials pushed back on claims that the CIA is investigating far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson, denying that the agency is taking action against the former Fox News host.
On Sunday, Carlson released a five-minute video message alleging that the CIA has opened an investigation into his ties to Iran, claiming that the agency is working on a criminal referral to the Justice Department over alleged Foreign Agents Registration Act violations.
“The other day, I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a crime report to the Department of Justice on the basis of a supposed crime I committed,” Carlson said.
The 56-year-old pundit claimed the probe was ordered in response to his criticism of the State of Israel.
“There are some people who are mad at me for my views about Israel, and they have some latitude,” he said.
Last year, Carlson interviewed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, sparking controversy after critics noted he failed to even mention Iran’s numerous human rights abuses, its nuclear program, or its plots to assassinate President Donald Trump.
By Sunday night, however, senior Trump administration officials denied Carlson’s allegation that the CIA had read his private messages, rejecting the podcaster’s claims of an investigation.
According to a report by Axios, multiple top administration officials said that there is no CIA investigation of Carlson and that the CIA is not referring a case against Carlson to the Department of Justice, the National Security Agency, or any other federal law enforcement, intelligence, or security body.
Carlson’s explosive claim fueled speculation online that President Donald Trump knowingly fed Carlson false information regarding his intentions vis-à-vis Iran during a February 11 White House meeting, knowing that Carlson would pass on Trump’s claims to Iran that the US was not planning strikes.
But the officials cited in the Axios report emphasized that Trump did not try to mislead Carlson during their White House meeting.
The two “politely disagreed,” the report said, with the president insisting that Iran posed a threat to the United States.
Chassidishe Influencer and Chef Says that "When Moshiach will come, the entire world is going to be Erez Yisrael, and Eretz Yisrael will be Yerushalyim"
This is what they teach Chassidishe girls in their Bais Yaakovs so that they never have to yearn for Eretz Yisrael!
They want them in Boro-Park, Williamsburg, Lakewood, Monroe, Monsey, Manchester, London etc etc, after all "Boro_Park will be Eretz Yisrael when Moshiach comes"
She adds, that come the "Shuuuuuuuuuuulish Reguuuuuuulim" they will be "Oilei Regel" to the present Eretz Yisruuuuuuel!
She said that there many "SHITAS" on what will take place, and this is one of them!
Wow! Too much to digest!
So the bracha we make in Shemonah Esreh three times a day
תְּקַע בְּשׁוֹפָר גָּדוֹל לְחֵרוּתֵֽנוּ וְשָׂא נֵס לְקַבֵּץ גָּלֻיּוֹתֵֽינוּ וְקַבְּ֒צֵֽנוּ יַֽחַד מְהֵרָה מֵאַרְבַּע כַּנְפוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ לְאַרְצֵֽנוּ: בָּרוּךְ
אַתָּה יְהֹוָה מְקַבֵּץ נִדְחֵי עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל:
"That the RBS"O "will gather in the exiles," and BRING them to Eretz Yisrael ,means absolutely nothing
You know who also thought that this will happen when Moshiach comes??
The Jews pre-WW2! That's who!
Let's see where are those homes in Europe now?
Where is Telz, Vilna, Bobov, Satmara, Ger , Kloizenberg, Pupa, Volozhin etc...
I have news for Raizy:
The Torah itself explicitly writes the borders of Eretz Yisrael, and guess what?
It doesn't include Boro-Park or even Kiryas Yoel or New Skver!
There is a huge debate in Shas whether land that was later conquered by Dovid Hamelech like Syria is
“קידשא לעתיד לבוא” “קידשא לשעתא” whether the holiness is only for that time or even in the future!
Even the southern city Eilat in Israel is Chutz Leaaretz according to most Meforshim!
Is it any wonder that Chassidim and Yeshivishe Girls and Boys have absolutely no connection to Eretz Yisrael?
There is no internal love for the land that most of Klall Yisrael yearned for over 2000 years!
Raizy! If that SHITAH is in fact true then why did the Baal Shem Tov and the Vilna Gaon plan to make Aliya? For what reason?
Why did the Talmedei Baal Shem and the Talmeidei Hagra make Aliya if Mezebich and Vilna would be part of Eretz Yisrael?
Why did the Yaavetz, R' Yaakov Me'Emdin write in his siddur in his "Sulam" that all the troubles that come to Jews is because that they are not interested in making Aliyah? Why would they need to make Aliya if they can just stay and wait like Raizy!
I don't begrudge Raizy her new home, I believe she is a real Eishas Chayil and deserves everything that God chose to give her and I believe she is a real Kiddush Hashem!
Below her video which I posted, I posted some comments that actually criticize her but know that most of the comments were very supportive of her!
"I have never seen a more blatant disregard for Torah and its opinions. This is completely against major mefarshim and achronim, the gemara, and the Torah itself. To disregard what us Israelis are going through is a stab to the heart."

"I understand your response, but, not saying, even in this video, that you are praying for the safety of the Jews in eretz yisrael is upsetting. She’s not just “stressed.”

Is "UNDER STRESS" all you have to say about what your sisters and brothers are going through in Israel? I think you give more attention to your wallpaper choice than you do to your nation in Israel.

"I don't think it's possible for someone that's not here to fully grasp what we're going thru. To have over 70 sirens in the past 2 weeks and to have to get everyone in the shelter on time at all hours of day and night. Some having to go down a few flights, some down the block and some don't have shelters. And many like you with their husband's not home and in dangerous situations..forget abt the warnings first that make your heart jump out...(but still glad we have them b4 a siren.) All this with obviously everyone home and pesach is almost here! I can't expect the outsiders to understand it but we can definitely give a shout out to those that are doing things for us. @daliaoziel is so thoughtful! Check out her stories. Davening for you and all of us here and for all of klal Yisroel!"

"@lisarichphoto 👏👏👏 this. Yeah we’re under a little stress. I love waking my toddler up from his one nap of the day to run to the mamad. I can totally see myself being ready for Pesach with all my kids home, pregnant and with my paramedic husband filling in for all the ones who are in miluim. But you know as long as someone’s lecturing me about how she really wants Mashiach while showing off her new kitchen I feel like things can really be okay."
by bex_burg
"@raizyscookin unfortunately, saying that something is a “given” just doesn’t hit the same way. Saying it out loud , sending us a hug from afar, using your power on social media to bring attention to the ongoing insanity that is our lives atm- that shows us empathy. The Jews in Israel are not crying out for no reason . We feel abandoned. We feel ignored . So no, respectfully, nothing is a given anymore ."

"I’ve never heard that as a possibility that the whole world will become EY & I’ve been frum all my life (educated in both Bais Yaakov & Bais Rivka) 🤷♀️."
Armies are not required to risk soldiers’ lives to protect enemy civilians
Much of the legal debate about Israel’s conduct in Gaza has focused on proportionality — whether the civilian harm caused by specific strikes was excessive relative to the military advantage gained. A War on the Rocks article by Orbach, Boxman, Henkin, and Braverman makes a crucial clarification that has been largely absent from that debate: under international law, proportionality is assessed strike by strike, not cumulatively across an entire campaign. The scale of destruction in Gaza cannot, by itself, constitute evidence of disproportionality. Each attack must be evaluated against its specific military objective and the foreseeable harm at the moment of decision.
But proportionality and distinction — the two principles that dominate public discourse about Gaza — are not the only ethical considerations governing how armies fight. There is a third, and it is the one Israel’s critics most consistently ignore: the obligation to protect one’s own forces, and the corresponding right to transfer risk away from soldiers when military necessity demands it.
The Law is Not a One-Way Street
Iran’s intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib Eliminated
BREAKING: Defense Minister Israel Katz announces that Iran’s intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib, was eliminated in an Israeli airstrike in Tehran overnight.
The strike, first reported by Iran International and later confirmed by an Israeli official, marks another major hit on the Iranian regime’s senior leadership as Israel expands its campaign inside Iran.
Katz also said “significant surprises” are expected today that will escalate the war against Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, adding that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have authorized the IDF to eliminate any senior Iranian figure without requiring further approval.
Finding Love Within the Chasidic Dating System
In this powerful conversation, Shlome and Henchy share their deeply personal journeys through marriage, divorce, and ultimately finding a second chance at love.
Raised in tight-knit Chasidic communities where marriage often happens very young, they open up about what it was like to enter relationships before truly understanding themselves, and how those experiences shaped the rest of their lives. Their story sheds light on the traditional shidduch process, the pressures young people can face, and the emotional realities behind decisions that can affect families for generations.
Today, the couple is using what they’ve learned to help others build healthier marriages and stronger families.
Drawing from painful lessons and years of personal growth, they speak about communication between parents and children, emotional preparedness for marriage, and the importance of modeling strong relationships at home.
Their message is ultimately one of hope: that healing is possible, second chances are real, and with honesty and guidance, the next generation can build deeper, more authentic relationships.

IRGC commanders booked 15 hotel rooms thinking they were safe, they weren’t
Four IRGC commanders in Lebanon used multiple identities, reserved 15 rooms, then gathered in a single room and even disabled all hotel cameras. Despite these precautions, an Israeli drone precisely struck their location and eliminated all four. The level of infiltration and intelligence is on another level.
