Gallup: Race Relations better under Donald Trump than Barack Obama

Oh boy, this is going to upset the liberal snowflakes. 

Per a new Gallup poll, satisfaction with race relations and the “position” of minorities under Trump are far higher than they were under President Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president. 

Let me put it a different way, race relations are perceived to be better under Trump than Obama.  Please stop crying, liberals.

Russia to release Naama Issachar from Prison Imminently

An Israeli official on Wednesday said Russia was set to release Israeli-American backpacker Naama Issachar from prison imminently, ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Prime Minister’s Office said Tuesday that Netanyahu would travel to Russia from Washington to update Putin on US President Donald Trump’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, raising speculation the trip could herald Issachar’s release.
Putin, who has the final say on a pardon for Issachar, has yet to publicly announce a decision on her fate.
The Israeli official said the expected release was the result of a Russian goodwill gesture toward the United States, stressing that Israel did not give Moscow anything in return.

Jonathan Pollard Will Arrive In Israel Before Elections

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is working on an agreement to have Jonathan Pollard brought to Israel a week before the March 2 elections, a Times of Israel (TOI) report said, quoting a Likud source who spoke to Zman Yisrael, TOI’s Hebrew sister site.
Former Israeli spy Pollard told Channel 12 News in an interview in August that he asked Netanyahu to use his influence to convince US President Donald Trump to allow him more freedom in order to care for his ailing wife Esther.
Esther Pollard is seriously ill with aggressive breast cancer and Pollard explained that he doesn’t have the freedom to properly take care of her since all his restrictions are like a “virtual prison.”

New Facebook tool lets users DELETE all the data that is used to deliver targeted ads based on their activity on other websites and apps

A new Facebook tool will allow users to delete data that has been used to deliver targeted adverts based on their activity on other websites and apps. 
The social networking giant is making its 'Off-Facebook Activity' tool available to all users after an initial launch in Ireland, South Korea and Spain last August.
The tool allows you to see what information Facebook holds on you based on other websites you've visited or apps used and then lets you either delete it or leave it. 
Facebook says the tool could have some impact on its businesses but giving people control over their data was more important. 
When first announced in August 2019, the tech giant said the feature would allow users to disconnect future off-Facebook activity from their account.
This is information from specific websites that may be gathered by Facebook and can be either removed in its entirety or just for specific apps and websites.
Much of the advertising on the internet is served to users based on previous online viewing habits, with businesses paying for sites such as Facebook to use this activity information to place adverts in front of users it believes are relevant to them.
'Off-Facebook Activity marks a new level of transparency and control,' said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO.

'We've been working on this for a while because we had to rebuild some of our systems to make this possible.'
The launch of Off-Facebook Activity to users around the world coincides with Global Data Privacy Day - aimed to highlight the need for data protection.
Steve Hatch, vice president of northern Europe at Facebook, said: 'There are a number of ways you can control your information on Facebook and we're always looking at more ways for you to do this.
'That's why from today, our Off-Facebook Activity tool will make it easy to manage which apps and websites can access your information.

Satmar Chassidim in Israel Are "Ovdei Avoda Zara"


The poster above is an advertisement to "Learn Yiddish." Thousands of these posters are floating around the streets of Yerushalyim and Beit Shemesh.

The poster quotes the founder of the Satmar Chassidim, R' Yoel Teitelbaum:
"It is far better to bow down to a cross 100 times than to speak Hebrew according to Halacha"

The poster says that speaking Hebrew is equivalent to bowing to the Christian Cross! But nowhere in the entire poster is there any "maareh mekoimis" from the entire Shas Bavli, Yerushalmie, Rambam, Shulcha Aruch that speaking Hebrew is against "Halacha."
The only "maareh mekoimis" they have is from the "Vayoel Moshe" and the "Vayoel Moshe" made it up!

The problem Satmar has that they all by in large speak Hebrew...
even the radical "Aarilach" in Beit Shemesh speak Hebrew ; they  can hardly speak any Yiddish, and when they do speak, they sound like the Yiddishten.....

Iranian commander gunned down in front of his own home

Iranian Basij forces commander Abdolhossein Mojaddami was gunned down in front of his own home on Wednesday in the Khuzestan province of Iran, news agency IRNA reported. 
The Basij forces, one of the five forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC), are often used to suppress protests and demonstrations in the Islamic Republic.
He was killed by two men who wore masks and were riding a motorcycle, Iranian media reported.
Iranian security forces are investigating the matter. 
 
The killing could possibly signal that the regime is unable to contain widespread discontent among the Iranian public. 
Mojaddami's murder follows the assassination of IRGC Quds Force commander Maj.-Gen. Qasem Soleimani earlier this month by US special forces.
