Like the Gestapo .. AOC Wants Lists of those who Tweeted Pro-Trump

 

Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 6, 2020

The Trump Accountability Project was launched on November 3 and is compiling lists of Trump campaign employees, and supporters. They say their purpose is to "never forget" and "not allow" those who "elected him," "staffed his government," and "funded him" to "profit from their experience," reported Disrn News.

The group is seeking software engineers to help the group "archive a large number of campaign/administration staffer tweets" in order to not let "Trump officials ... hide their records."

The website says: "We must never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda."

It continues: "We should welcome in our fellow Americans with whom we differ politically. But those who took a paycheck from the Trump Administration should not profit from their efforts to tear our democracy apart. The world should never forget those who, when faced with a decision, chose to put their money, their time, and their reputations behind separating children from their families, encouraging racism and anti-Semitism, and negligently causing the unnecessary loss of life and economic devastation from our country's failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic."

New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked on Friday if "[anyone] is archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity [with Trump] in the future." Ocasio-Cortez also mocked "the 'party of personal responsibility' for being upset at the idea of being responsible for their behavior over [the] last four years."

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks passes away

 Former UK Chief Rabbi Jonathan Henry Sacks, British Orthodox rabbi, philosopher, theologian, author and politician, has passed away.

He served as the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth from 1991 to 2013.

As the spiritual head of the United Synagogue, the largest synagogue body in the UK, he was the Chief Rabbi of those Orthodox synagogues, but was not recognized as the religious authority for the Haredi Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations or for the progressive movements such as Masorti, Reform and Liberal Judaism.

s Chief Rabbi, Sacks formally carried the title of Av Beit Din (head) of the London Beth Din. He was most recently known as the Emeritus Chief Rabbi.

The official announcement of his passing read: "Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet. It with the deepest sadness that we regret to inform you that Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (HaRav Ya’akov Zvi ben David Arieh z’’l) passed away early this morning, Saturday 7th November 2020 (Shabbat Kodesh 20th MarCheshvan 5781)."

Ohr Torah Stone President & Rosh HaYeshiva Rabbi Kenneth Brander responded to news of the passing: "Baruch Dayan HaEmet. The Jewish People and the world have lost great light and leader with the passing of HaRav Lord Jonathan Sacks.

"We are all his students! His legacy will continue through all of us who he inspired. May his family be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion & Jerusalem."

Networks call presidency for Biden as Trump vows to continue fight

 

Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States on Saturday, according to major US networks who made statistical projections, positioning himself to lead a nation gripped by the historic pandemic and a confluence of economic and social turmoil.

His victory came after more than three days of uncertainty as election officials sorted through a surge of mail-in votes that delayed the processing of some ballots. Biden crossed 270 Electoral College votes with a win in Pennsylvania.

Biden, 77, staked his candidacy less on any distinctive political ideology than on galvanizing a broad coalition of voters around the notion that Trump posed an existential threat to American democracy. The strategy proved effective, resulting in pivotal victories in Michigan and Wisconsin as well as Pennsylvania, onetime Democratic bastions that had flipped to Trump in 2016.

Biden was on track to win the national popular vote by more than 4 million, a margin that could grow as ballots continue to be counted.

Trump seized on delays in processing the vote in some states to falsely allege voter fraud and argue that his rival was trying to seize power — an extraordinary charge by a sitting president trying to sow doubt about a bedrock democratic process.

As the vote count played out, Biden tried to ease tensions and project an image of presidential leadership, hitting notes of unity that were seemingly aimed at cooling the temperature of a heated, divided nation.

"We have to remember the purpose of our politics isn't total unrelenting, unending warfare," Biden said Friday night in Delaware. "No, the purpose of our politics, the work of our nation, isn't to fan the flames of conflict, but to solve problems, to guarantee justice, to give everybody a fair shot."

Kamala Harris also made history as the first Black woman to become vice president, an achievement that comes as the U.S. faces a reckoning on racial justice. The California senator, who is also the first person of South Asian descent elected to the vice presidency, will become the highest-ranking woman ever to serve in government, four years after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.

Rabbi Dovid Feinstein passes away

Rabbi Dovid Feinstein, head of the Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim in New York, a member of the Council of Torah Scholars in the United States, has passed away. He was 91 years old at his passing.

Rabbi Feinstein was born in 1929 in Lyuban, USSR, and was a Torah scholar and halakhic authority, and was considered by many as the leading halachic authority in the United States.

He served as the rosh yeshiva (dean) of the Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim yeshiva elementary and high school and kollel, inheriting the position after the passing of his father Rabbi Moshe Feinstein in 1986. 

He was also a prolific and erudite author, penning at least 9 sefarim on such topics as halakha, Torah, and the Jewish calendar, as well as some popular Passover Haggadahs.

His is the first name in the Mesorah Heritage Foundation box of the inner cover in Artscroll publications.

His brother, Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, is rosh yeshiva of the Staten Island branch of Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim.

REVEALED: Female who spat in a cop's face in NYC was an intern for Jerry Nadler

The foul-mouthed female protester who was arrested Wednesday for spitting in the face of an NYPD officer once interned for a high-ranking House Democrat.

Devina Singh, 24, spent about a month in 2018 working as a social work intern for U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, the Daily News reported.

Singh 'did not complete the internship and left shortly after the internship started for personal reasons,' Nadler's district director, Robert Gottheim, told the News.  

Gottheim did not elaborate further on why she left prematurely after starting in September 2018.

Singh, of Brooklyn, was among the 57 people arrested in New York City on Wednesday night after she was filmed in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood screaming 'f**k you fascist' at an NYPD officer before spitting in his face.

Footage of her spitting at the officer, which went viral on Twitter, was immediately condemned by the NYPD and police unions.

'Actions like this will not be tolerated. Agitators who commit these acts will be arrested,' the NYPD tweeted alongside the video. 

After the incident, Singh was thrown to the ground and arrested.

'Biden's victory is a big win for Iran and the Ayatollahs'

 

With Joe Biden moving closer towards clinching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, veteran Israeli journalist and Middle East expert Zvi Yehezkeli warned Friday morning that a Biden administration would boost the Iranian regime at a critical juncture.

Speaking with Radio 103FM, Yehezkeli, a Channel 13 commentator, said that a Biden victory would ensure the survival of Iran’s hard-line Islamist regime.

“The ayatollahs’ regime won’t survive under the current conditions if Trump would continue on,” said Yehezkeli. “It is just a matter of time before the regime collapses.”

But, Yehezkeli continued, “The ayatollahs’ regime will continue on with the help of Biden. Biden’s victory means the continuation of the ayatollahs’ rule.”

Turning to the Trump administration’s push to broker additional peace deals between Israel and Sunni Arab states, Yehezkeli said that the possibility of a normalization deal with Saudi Arabia would at the very least be “delayed” as a result of Biden’s victory.

“The deal with the Saudis which was supposed to happen during the Trump administration will be delayed.”

Emboldened With Her Win Ilhan Omar accuses Israel of 'ethnic cleansing'

 

Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar accused Israel of violating international law and carrying out "ethnic cleansing" after Israeli security forces demolished homes built illegally by Bedouin in the Jordan Valley earlier this week.

“This a grave crime—in direct violation of international law. If they used any US equipment it also violates US law,” tweeted Omar, alongside a link to an article on the demolition.

“The United States of America should not be bankrolling ethnic cleansing. Anywhere,” she added.

Omar, who won re-election in Minnesota's 5th district earlier this week, is notorious for her past controversial statements on Israel. She came under fire last year after she suggested on Twitter that Republicans were attacking her at the behest of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC.

She subsequently issued a half-hearted apology before ultimately deleting the controversial tweets.

Last September, Omar called Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's "existence" a problem in an interview with CBS.

Ezra Friedlandler in Big Trouble With Nadler ..... Nadler Won ... But Boro-Park Voted For His Opponent..

 

Cathy Bernstein 

I can just hear the "poops in his pants" Nadler ..screaming at his aides...."Why the hell do I need that "lisker ganif" on my payroll?" "He didn't deliver" ..."$1,000.00 a month? "For what?" "he promised me, that no way are chassidim going to vote for a lady, no way" "that "langeh rekkel liar."

Brooklyn voters made their voices heard in veteran Rep. Jerry Nadler’s reelection this week, with his more conservative constituents in the borough’s southern neighborhoods casting ballots for President Trump and the liberal Democrat’s GOP opponent Cathy Bernstein.

Bernstein won the 48th Assembly District that includes Borough Park with 16,841 votes to 4,147 for Nadler. President Trump carried the same AD over Joe Biden by nearly 20,000 votes — 23,448 to 4,877.

Bernstein, 58, a financial consultant who resides on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, railed against stricter state oversight of yeshivas — a potent issue that resonates in the district’s heavily orthodox Jewish communities — and also slammed Nadler for supporting “defunding” police.

The GOP candidate also made an issue of the city placing homeless people into neighborhood hotels amid the pandemic.

Manhattan comprises 70 percent of the district, and Brooklyn the other 30 percent.

The machine count showed Nadler ahead 68 percent to 30 percent, or 120,273 to 52,842 votes. But Bernstein’s tally was 22,000 votes more than Nadler’s GOP challenger received in 2016.

The machine count showed Bernstein actually carried the Brooklyn side of the district convincingly — with 33,124 votes to 24,607 for Nadler.

Bernstein said she made five different campaign posters and the one about defending yeshivas was so popular among shopkeepers in Borough Park that she had to do a reprint. She stood up for privately-run religious schools after the state Education proposed to increase oversight while Nadler defended stricter regulation.

“These are constituents who feel strongly about education,” Bernstein said.

“Nadler is not well received in the Brooklyn side of the district,” said former Assemblyman Dov Hikind who previously represented the 48th AD, adding, “The Democratic Party in New York has moved so far to the left people here are upset with the Democratic Party.”

Hikind also credited Trump’s strong showing in south Brooklyn with lifting up Bernstein in Brooklyn along with voter disgust with a spike in crime and the law that eliminated cash bail for many criminal defendants.

About 70,000 voters mailed in absentee ballots. But the overwhelming majority of the mail-ins were submitted by Manhattan voters. That means Bernstein is likely to win the Brooklyn side of the district outright when all the ballots are counted.

"I Feel Defiled"......Professor of Bar-Ilan Gets "Abused" on FaceBook by his frum "friends" Because he said Trump is Good for Israel

by Jeffrey Woolf

In my book, The Fabric of Religious Life in Medieval Ashkenaz, I highlight the fact that Ashkenazic Jews experienced their spiritual states physically. Things that were pure were experienced as physically attractive, while those things that were prohibited were experienced as physically repulsive. Hence, there developed among them a custom that when a pot absorbed something non-kosher, not only did they purge (i.e. kasher) it, they would bring it to a ritualarium (mikveh) to purify it.

Similarly, spiritual states were experienced both emotionally and physically. Based upon that reality, Jews traditionally immersed themselves in a Mikveh as part of their process of repentance (an echo of which is found in the practice to go to Mikveh before Yom Kippur—a custom that should be observed by both men and women).

This sensitivity, physically experienced, has not passed from the world.
