28-Year-Old Nurse Succumbs To COVID-19 Hours After Posting Reassuring Video

 28-year-old Sergio Hernandez was a nurse working on the frontlines trying to save those who contracted COVID-19. A healthy young man with no previous problems, Hernandez believed that even if he would be infected, he would survive. The death of his 30-year-old sister in August from the deadly virus did not deter Hernandez, who continued to work until he himself fell ill with the virus.

Hernandez was convinced that he would overcome the virus and recorded a video in hospital before he was intubated, stating that “because I will come back, this is not a goodbye. I am sure I will come back after a few days.”

In the end these were some of his last words. Sergio, a nurse in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, lost his short battle with the virus just a few hours later.He was survived by his wife and young son.

“I want that, no matter what happens, and the prognosis that God has reserved for me, you always remember me for who I was and who I am,” he said in the message.

Hernandez’s cousin Adalberto Hernandez of Madera, California said that “it tears you apart… someone who’s young with his own children, and was helping people, no health complication, young, strong, full of life. It took him in 8 to 10 days after testing positive.”

Hernandez says that it’s too risky to travel or go to the funeral as some of Sergio’s family is still sick, so all they have as they mourn is his final message of hope – which will serve as his epitaph.

The family’s message is to remind people that this virus is real, and that they should wear a mask.

In 1929, local Arabs massacred members of the Jewish community of Hebron, the second holiest city to Jews worldwide and home to the Tomb of the Patriarchs, burial place of the founders of the Jewish faith, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob and Leah.

In 1948, when the Jordanian Legion occupied Judea and Samaria, they wiped out all remnants of Jewish life in Hebron, destroying tombstones and pillaging leftovers of Jewish property. From 1948 till the Six Day War in 1967, the city of Hebron, along with the rest of Judea and Samaria remained free of Jews.

Following the 1998 Wye River Accords, the PA received control of a majority of Hebron with the Waqf getting the Tomb of the Patriarchs, including the entrance to the cave and Isaac and Rebecca’s cenotaphs. Since then, Jews have only been allowed to pray in the outer section of the building for the majority of the year and visit Isaac’s cenotaph in the main hall of the building just 10 days a year.

Last year, the government of Israel finally provided the Jewish community of Hebron permission to build in the uninhabited "Arab market" near the Jewish Quarter of the city - a building constructed by the Jordanians decades ago. Now, the community is planning to build 60 housing units along with a small motel to welcome Jews from across the world to spend time at the heart of one of the treasures of Jewish history.

You have an opportunity to take part in this endeavor to help right a historic injustice and allow the true inhabitants of Hebron to begin the rebuild of a once-blossoming community.

The approaching storm in US-Israel relations

 The question of who would fill what job in a Biden administration is basically irrelevant - his policies are basically set in stone. 

The day before the U.S. presidential election, the progressive Israel Democracy Institute published the results of a poll of Israeli Jews asked whether they believed President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden would be better for Israel. Some 70 percent named Trump, 13 percent chose Biden and 17 percent said they didn’t know.

Since Election Day, and since U.S. networks proclaimed Biden the winner, Israel’s media, along with its diplomatic and security establishments and political leadership, busied themselves by scouring the lists of candidates for senior foreign policy positions in the Biden administration and considering the implications of so-and-so’s appointment to national security adviser. The notion behind the name game is that the appointment of one person over another will significantly impact a Biden administration’s Middle East policy either in Israel’s favor or to its detriment.

There is nothing new about the name game. Israel’s political and national security leaders and its media know-it-alls play it every four years, and indeed, often personnel has been policy. For instance, when Trump replaced his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, with Mike Pompeo, things changed. Tillerson opposed leaving the Iran nuclear deal and opposed moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Pompeo supported both.

But in the case of the apparently incoming Biden administration, who fills what job is basically irrelevant, and worrying about it should certainly not be a priority. Biden’s policies are basically set in stone.

Biden, his running mate Kamala Harris and his team repeatedly set out his Middle East policies, in detail, over the course of the campaign. And in the days since it became clear that Biden is far more likely than Trump to be inaugurated on Jan. 20, his advisers have restated those policies and, in some cases, have taken initial steps towards implementing them.

New York AG Threatens to Sue Trump Over Something He Didn’t Actually Say

 

New York Attorney General Letitia James is no stranger to frivolous litigation, whether it be her attempt to dissolve the NRA in New York, or her baseless attack on the Trump Organization.She’s outdone herself this time however, threatening to sue President Donald Trump over something he never actually said or threatened to do.

As The Blaze reports regarding her comments, which are mischaracterizing what President Trump said while giving updates on Operation Warp Speed yesterday:James accused Trump of “playing politics with people’s lives.”

“Any attempt by Donald Trump to deny New York access to a lifesaving #COVID19 vaccine will be met with a lawsuit, plain and simple,” she said. “Stop playing politics with people’s lives.”

In a statement, James further attacked Trump, accusing him of “vindictive behavior” and “trying to extract vengeance on those who oppose his politics.”

“If dissemination of the vaccine takes place in the twilight of a Trump Administration and the president wants to play games with people’s lives, we will sue and we will win,” she threatened.

Meanwhile, Cuomo accused Trump of being a “bully.”

As anyone who heard Trump’s comments themselves already knows, that isn’t what he said.

Iran Is Already Saying No to Joe Biden


 

Well, that didn’t take long. 

With Joe Biden set to be the next American president, Iran is already refusing to renegotiate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, which President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018 in favor of tougher sanctions.

Trump’s “maximum pressure” approach has severely hurt Iran, both economically and militarily. One would think, then, that Iran would jump at the chance to get back in the deal, especially since Biden has already expressed his desire to do so.

But there’s a hitch:

 Biden has his own demands. As Tom O’Connor reports in Newsweek, “Biden has pledged to return, but only if Iran restored some of the commitments it has since walked away from due to other participants’ failure to normalize trade ties with the Islamic Republic in the wake of the U.S. exit.”

WATCH: Antifa & BLM Accost Women, Children, Elderly, and Restaurant-Goers After MAGA March

Watch as this unfolds after the break on page 2 ... watch how BLM thinking they are still in the jungles of Africa attack innocent people coming from a rally .....  

Antifa and BLM wasted no time in accosting women, children, families, and the elderly as they walked down Washington, DC, streets after the Million MAGA March on Saturday. Protesters threw large fireworks and projectiles at restaurant-goers eating outside and flashed laser lights into hotel rooms.

DC Metropolitan Police blocked off BLM Plaza so Million MAGA March attendees could not go through. Trump supporters had to walk through a gauntlet of BLM, Antifa, and black bloc assailants in order to leave the area.

A black woman hauled off and sucker-punched a man carrying a Trump flag.

Rioters walked down the street and harassed an elderly couple while trying to rip a Trump flag out of their hands.

They threatened and harassed an elderly man walking down the street with a scooter. They pushed the scooter down and threw unidentified liquids at him.

They yelled, “Get the f**k out of here! You better run motherf**ker! You better run motherf**ker!”

Protesters attacked a middle-aged woman walking with other women and some Trump supporters. A black woman hit the woman in the back of the head.

A black mother with her young children wearing a Blue Lives matter hat and a Trump jacket frantically told police officers she wanted to press charges against her assailants. The assailants cornered her and asked her why she had her children there. She was pushing a child in a stroller and shielding her pre-teen daughter when she was attacked, reported Breitbart News.

Children walking down the street with their family were frightened by the mob and were crying.

BLM and Antifa assaulted, threw eggs and liquids at a young couple trying to walk through the BLM Plaza.  The female cried out in fear.

Breitbart News reported that protestors stomped on an older man’s head after the rally. A black man ran up behind the Trump supporter and bushwacked him making him fall to the ground.

As restaurant-goers were dining outside, Antifa and BLM threw large fireworks and projectiles at them.

New stats reveal massive NYC exodus amid coronavirus, crime

 

More than 300,000 New Yorkers have bailed from the Big Apple in the last eight months, new stats show.

City residents filed 295,103 change of address requests from March 1 through Oct. 31, according to data The Post obtained from the US Postal Service under a Freedom of Information Act request.

Since the data details only when 11 or more forwarding requests were made to a particular county outside NYC, the number of moves is actually higher. And a single address change could represent an entire household, which means far more than 300,000 New Yorkers fled the five boroughs.

Whatever the exact number, the exodus — which began when COVID-19 hit the city in early spring — is much greater than in prior years. From just March through July, there were 244,895 change of address requests to destinations outside of the city, more than double the 101,342 during the same period in 2019.

The escape from New York is fueled not only by coronavirus concerns, but economic worries, school chaos and rising crime, experts say.
