John Podesta and Maria Bartiromo Epic Fight Over Russia Ties

John Podesta is not just the former chairman of the Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, but also a central figure in the ongoing narrative of Russian meddling in the US election of 2016. His hacked emails were at the heart of what some have called a coordinated news campaign led by Wikileaks, and so he met with the House Intelligence panel yesterday behind closed doors.

This morning he appeared on Fox Business to discuss the Russian interference, allegations of collusion with Trump campaign and more with host Maria Bartiromo in what became a testy debate that perfectly exemplifies the divided positions that so many Americans hold right now.

Bartiromo, a long-time New York financial news figure has had something of a close relationship with Donald Trump for years, so it’s not a surprise that she consistently showed skepticism over the Russia claims in a defensive posture. And there may be no other individual (without the Clinton surname) that best embodies the Clinton’s web of influence — for good and bad — than Mr. Podesta.

Bartiromo aggressively attacked Podesta and Democrats for what she said were deeper ties with Russia, specifically asking about Podesta’s investment portfolio.

Iran "lover" Jerry Nadler Wants MIxed Prayers at Kotel, Jews Holiest Site

This fat nobody, Jerry "the capo" Nadler, is again stabbing the backs of Holocaust survivors that are his constituents. 

This "Murderer Loving" Congressman ignored the lives and safety of over 6 million Jews living in the State of Israel by supporting the sick Iran deal , handing over nuclear weapons to the Iran Terrorist regime.

Now, he wants to changes the Kotel status quo of having separate prayer services at the Kotel , a rule respected by the entire gentile world, except for some fat "bacon fressers" ladies that come to the Kotel on Rosh Chodash only.

The Reform movement is outraged that the Kotel is in frum hands. The Reform movement had taken the words, "Zion" and "Jerusalem" out of their prayer books, and only recently re-instated them to stop the bleeding  of their 88% assimilation rate. Who can forget when they refused to make appeals for Israel Bonds in their shuls during the 1967 war.

People should call his office and tell him to keep his fat butt out of the internal affairs of the sovereign country of Israel.

• Phone: (202) 225-5635 

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who represents the most heavily Jewish district in the nation, has been bombarded by angry calls over the Israeli government’s decision not to create an egalitarian prayer space at Jerusalem’s Western Wall.

“People are outraged,” Nadler said. “This is a direct declaration by the government of Israel that non-Orthodox Jews in Israel and in the United States are irrelevant. It’s a total insult to the entire community. The message is basically, ‘we don’t care about you.’”

According to Nadler, the decision is most disturbing because, “the angriest phone calls I’ve received are from the people who care most about Israel and are most involved in advocacy.”

The Western Wall issue, Nadler says, has been raised in many conversations by Jewish-American lawmakers and their Israeli counterparts.

“This is about how the Israeli government regards the majority of American Jews,” he said. “It’s hard to think of a more harmful thing they could have done.”

The damage, he warns, is real - and it could intensify worrying trends that are already visible when it comes to support for Israel among young American Jews. 

Statement From The Lakewood Vaad On Welfare-Fraud Related Arrests

The following is a statement from the Lakewood Vaad:

We are saddened beyond words by the arrests of seven couples in our town. As firm believers in the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ we suspend judgment until the disposition of these charges, and are comforted knowing that our judicial system is an able arbiter of justice.

Regardless of the outcomes of these cases, we have, in our view, a valuable teaching moment that cannot be wasted.

There is no such a thing as “justified” theft. Federal and State social safety-net programs are meant for those in need, even those in need have rules and criteria that must be strictly followed. To deliberately bend a safety-net eligibility rule is stealing, no different than stealing from your friend or neighbor.

We would all do well to redouble and triple our efforts in our communities, reminding each and every one of us that there is never any excuse for dishonesty in any form. Let us take this moment to speak openly of these matters, from the pulpit, in the classroom, and by parents at the dinner table, so that this tragic but necessary learning moment is not lost.

In the days ahead we will help launch a set of intensive educational programs that can ensure that such does not happen again, and will invite the public to participate in these timely programs.

Rabbi Moshe Zev Weisberg on behalf of The Lakewood Vaad

Six More Arrested In Lakewood welfare fraud raids ....More Expected...

Six more people were arrested in Lakewood late Tuesday as part of an ongoing government fraud investigation.

The individuals arrested Tuesday by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office are accused of defrauding government Medicaid and government assistance programs, including those for Superstorm Sandy benefits. In all, they’re accused of fraud amounting to nearly $700,000.

Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato said the investigation by his office found the six failed to report income they received from “numerous sources” that would make them ineligible for aid. Instead, they misrepresented their incomes and submitted amounts that made them qualify for the respective program’s benefits, he said.

The arrests included:

• Yitzchock Kanarek, 33, and Sora Kanarek, 39 of Brisk Lane: Charged with second-degree theft by deception for allegedly wrongfully collecting approximately $339,002.56 in Medicaid, SNAP, HUD, and SSI benefits between January 2009 and July 2014.

• Chaim Ehrman, 40, and Liatt Ehrman, 39, of Twin Oaks Drive: Charged with second- degree theft by deception for allegedly wrongfully collecting approximately $185,692.22 in Medicaid, SNAP, HEAP, and Sandy benefits between January 2011 and December 2015

• William Friedman, 45, and Faigy Friedman, 40, of Leigh Drive: Charged with second-degree theft by deception for allegedly wrongfully collecting approximately $149,842.28 in Medicaid, SNAP, HEAP, and HUD benefits between January 2011 and December 2015.

The defendants will appear in Ocean County Superior Court at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

The investigation, which initially included the prosecutor’s office, FBI and the the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller’s Medicaid Fraud Division, has expanded to include to include the US Social Security Administration, New Jersey Department of the Treasury’s Office of Criminal Investigation, and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office’s Economic Crimes Unit.

Coronato expects further arrests and may add other charges could be added.

The arrests came two days after eight people, including Rabbi Zalmen Sorotzkin and his wife, Tzipporah, were arrested early Monday morning on federal and state charges.

Collectively, they’re accused of receiving several hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of food, housing, and medical benefits despite income levels that would disqualify them from the various programs. Some of those arrested had $1 million-plus incomes, authorities have said.

More Welfare Arrests Expected Today As Feds Warn Lakewood: The Party Is Over

One day after four Lakewood couples were arrested for fraudulently underreporting their incomes in order to illegally take advantage of more than $1 million in state and federal benefits, township phones have been ringing off the hook, with hundreds of area residents requesting advice on how to avoid being arrested for public assistance fraud. 

The investigation was initiated by the FBI and the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller, later growing to include the Social Security Administration, the New Jersey Department of Treasury and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

More arrests are expected to take place, possibly as soon as early Wednesday morning, reported NJ.comhttp://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2017/06/more_arrests_coming_in_lakewood_di_ionno.html

Complaints in the impending arrests involve fraudulent activity that has been taking place for as long as five years and Monday’s arrests appear to be just the tip of the iceberg.

“We are sending a message to this community that the party is over,” said one law enforcement source.

According to the Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/2tVVsyG), a law enforcement source who agreed to speak only on the condition of anonymity said that dozens of people have called the Ocean County Social Services office asking to discontinue their public assistance benefits or to revise the income information they had previously submitted.

Millions of dollars in public assistance have allegedly been fraudulently distributed in the Lakewood area, said the source.
According to authorities, the investigation into financial irregularities in Lakewood has been ongoing for three years.

Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles said that he was disturbed by the recent arrests and that there are many people in the town who are truly in need of financial assistance.

“I have a waiting list of Section 8 vouchers of maybe 2,000 families that really need it,” said Coles.  “I hate to see things like that.”

Loose translation One can peruse Facebook and see that those who have unfortunately left the frum community in the United States, is now an OTD community that does not stop growing There has been a number of tragic and shocking deaths amongst those who are OTD  These shocking cases are the direct result of a continuing failure by American Askanim in the treatment of youth dropping out of Charedie communities in the US, a phenomenon that is expanding  Today, we see published pictures of Charedim in the town of Lakewood, who were arrested on suspicion of falsifying documents and fraudulently removing funds from government offices   Some of the detainees are relatives of a very large Torah personality in Klall Yisroel. According to reports, this phenomenon is very widespread  These same Rabbies criticise and ridicule the Israeli  Gedoilim regarding the law of conscription in Israel It was also claimed at the despicable anti-IDF Barcley rally that the great rabbis of Israel are partners in recruiting yeshiva students  A certain newspaper in the United States, even published  names and pictures and the addresses of the greatest Torah scholars in Israel, and asked the readers to send letters to harass them  It is easy for them to make meetings, assemblies, and protests and complain about the problems in Eretz Yisroel But the same American activists, if they care about the      Orthodox public, should take care of themselves first  First fix the problems overseas, rather than looking for problems that do not exist here  Please Chutzpadika US activists  Do not interfere with what is happening here in the ultra-Orthodox community. They have been busy with the jungle of thousands of American dropouts who are in a difficult situation even without any danger of being drafted. Fix your institutions, keep crooks away, and criminals. Educate and protect your youth. This is your true duty.
