OAC's Claim Of ‘Near-Death Experience’ At Capitol Riots ... Is A Lie

 

New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made significant hype from the ordeal she suffered during the breaching of the Capitol building on January 6th. 

In a video viewed over 6 million times, Ocasio-Cortez describes her “near-death experience” as she hid in a bathroom after her legislative director Geraldo Bonilla-Chavez told her to “hide, hide, run and hide,” while rioters in a room nearby allegedly said “where is she?” Newsweek claimed that Ocasio-Cortez felt she was “about to be assassinated.”

Moreover when a policeman came to assist Ocasio-Cortez, she claimed in a separate clip that he “didn’t feel right” and that he was looking at her “in all of this anger and hostility.” Ocasio-Cortez claimed that the situation was “aggressive” and even her staffer thought he might have to fight the officer. She added that the officer said with urgency “go down and go to this building,” citing the name of the building.

However the facts are far from the melodramatic description of Ocasio-Cortez. It turns out that she was not even in the vicinity of the Capitol during the course of the assault on the building. She was actually in the nearby Cannon building which no insurgents ever reached and there was therefore no point at which Ocasio-Cortez was in physical danger.

Rep. Nancy Mace, (R-SC) who has an office adjacent to that of Ocasio-Cortez, says that the building had been briefly evacuated during the day while police where checking on a suspicious package nearby. 

Thus, Ocasio-Cortez’s “near-death experience” can be summed up as a fabrication

So upon seeing a Capitol police officer directing her to another building, the Longworth building, AOC, Instead of thanking the officer for doing his duty, she tries to paint him as someone to be afraid of.

Stacey Abrams Has Been Nominated For The Nobel Peace Prize But No One Knows Why?

Stacey Abrams, the failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate who has since become a voting rights activist, has just been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Abrams’ nomination was revealed on Monday by Lars Haltbrekken, a Socialist Party member of Norway’s parliament, according to Reuters.

“Abrams’ work follows in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s footsteps in the fight for equality before the law and for civil rights,” Haltbrekken said.

It’s Time For Conservatives To Take On Big Tech Tyrants. Here’s How

 In a passage in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, a character named Mike is asked how he went bankrupt. “Gradually,” he replies. “Then all at once.”

Such a framing could also describe the raw power of Big Tech, which has been evolving over the last two decades into what can accurately be described as an oligopoly (when a market is dominated entirely by a handful of firms). That power was fully unleashed last month. After playing footsie for the last decade with their massive market and narrative control over America, Big Tech finally shed any pretext of restraint or deference to the norms of speech, diversity of viewpoints, or pluralism.

First, they first banned the president of the United States from every conceivable platform. Then they came for everyone else – even their conservative competitors.

While the platforms hide behind the excuse of Trump, it’s clear these bans are not solely about him. After all, Trump has left office. Rather, it is a sincere effort by Big Tech and woke corporations to punish, de-platform, delegitimize, marginalize, and silence the millions of Americans who hold viewpoints and beliefs that differ from the alliance of corporate media, the establishment Democratic party, and the lords of Silicon Valley.

When the Rabbi Said Kaddish in Poland and the Trees Actually Answered "Amein"

 

Rabbi Frankel Holding the bones of murdered Jews in Treblenka

By Ruth Lichtenstein, Publisher Hamodia

A few days ago I received a copy of the picture of one of our readers*, and I realized that the distinguished Yid in the image was Harav Yitzchak Yedidya Frankel, zt”l, a greatly respected Rav from a previous generation, who served as a Rav in Tel Aviv, one whom I had the privilege to know as a close friend of our family. Harav Frankel was the father-in-law of, ybl”c, Harav Yisrael Meir Lau.

It was the caption — which indicated that the photo had been taken in Treblinka in 1953 — that struck me. Eager to learn the story behind it, I sent the image to his grandson, Harav Moshe Chaim Lau, a Rav in Netanya, and a contributor to Inyan magazine. Within hours, I received a detailed reply.

“This extremely emotional photo was actually taken in 1963,” Harav Lau informed me. “The Polish government invited my grandfather, who had served as Rav before the war in the Polish city of Rypin, to take part in an event marking the twentieth anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. My grandfather related to me that the Bobover Rebbe, Harav Shlomo Halberstam, zy”a, had also been invited, but decided not to join. After receiving a brachah from the Gerrer Rebbe, the Beis Yisrael, zy”a, who told him, “Travel l’shalom; and I hope that you will also return l’shalom,” he set out a few days after Pesach to Poland.

“Indeed, all my grandfather’s friends later said that the trip dramatically changed him,” Harav Lau continued.

‘What Planet Are You From?’ — Rand Paul Slams Biden’s Education Secretary Nominee Over Transgender Athletes

 Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul slammed President Joe Biden’s nominee for Education Secretary Miguel Cardona during his hearing with the Senate education committee Wednesday.

During Paul’s time to question Cardona, the Kentucky Republican focused on Cardona and the Biden administration’s stance on transgender athletes playing school sports. Paul pressed Cardona on his view of transgender athletes, asking him specifically if he thinks a boy should be able to compete against a girl on the same level.

“If you’re confirmed, will you enforce that Office of Civil Rights opinion?” Paul asked.

“I understand that there are a lot of concerns about that. If confirmed, it’s my responsibility and my privilege to make sure that we’re following civil rights of all students, and that includes activities that they may engage in high school or athletics,” Cardona responded.

“What do you think in general of boys running in girls’ track meets like they’ve been doing in Connecticut?” — “Do you worry about having boys run in girls’ track meets?,” Paul pressed.

“I think it’s appropriate – I think it’s the legal responsibility for schools to provide opportunities for students to participate in activities and this includes students who are transgender,” Cardona replied.

“So you don’t have a problem then, of boys running in the girls’ track meets, swimming meets, you name it, you’re ok then with boys competing with girls?,” Paul continued to ask. “Respectfully, senator, I believe I answered the question,” Cardona replied. “I think the fact that you seem to be afraid to answer the question, or you basically do answer the question by saying it’s ok without saying it’s ok, really is a statement to real problem we have and a disconnect between middle America and what most Americans actually believe,” Paul said.

“Who are these people that think it’s okay? From what planet are you from?,” Paul said to Cardona.

Biden has pledged a number of times to sign the Equality Act, which would make public schools allow biological males who identify as transgender girls to play sports with females.

Egyptian archeologists discover golden-tongued mummies

 

Crafted out of gold foil, the tongue-shaped amulet was likely placed in the deceased's mouth to ensure they'd be able to speak in the afterlife. 

An Egyptian-Dominican archaeological mission has discovered mummies with golden tongues near Alexandria, dating back around 2,000 years, Egyptian authorities said on Wednesday.

"The mission made the discovery of sixteen tombs cut in rock... in the temple of Taposiris Magna, west of Alexandria," in the north of Egypt, Cairo's Antiquities Ministry explained in a press release, specifying that the technique used was widespread in Greek and Roman times.

These tombs contained several mummies "in poor condition" but comprising "amulets wrapped in gold leaf in the shape of a tongue," it said.

Crafted out of gold foil, the tongue-shaped amulet was likely placed in the deceased's mouth to ensure they'd be able to speak in the afterlife, the ministry said.

Egypt's Al-Masry Al-Youm daily said that researchers at the Alexandria National Museum are now studying the find, as well as eight golden flakes representing the leaves of a wreath.

Mission director Kathleen Martinez was cited by French news agency AFP as sayign the two mummies have in particular caught the attention of scientists. The first mummy has "preserved strips and parts of the cardboard - layers of glued, stuccoed and painted linen fabric which envelop the mummy - adorned with gilding with the effigy of Osiris", the god of the dead.

And the second wore a "crown adorned with horns and a cobra on the forehead as well as a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a falcon's head", representing the pharaonic god Horus, son of Isis and Osiris.

According to AFP, the mission unearthed a female funeral mask, a gold diadem, eight marble masks with sculpted details, Khaled Abu al-Hamd, director of Antiquities of Alexandria, siad in a statement.

The mission has been excavating for several years west of Alexandria in an attempt to find the tomb of the legendary Queen Cleopatra.

How the Comedian Danny Thomas a Catholic paid for Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski's Medical Education

 

Rabbi Twerski with Danny Thomas on His Graduation 

Several years into his studies at Marquette University’s medical school, Abraham J. Twerski could no longer afford the tuition. His assistance would come from a most unlikely source, as he would later describe in an interview with the Pittsburgh Quarterly:

By that time, I had several children, so my dad and some members of the congregation helped me to pay for school. I applied for a scholarship through a foundation, but it didn’t come through, so in my third year, I fell two trimesters behind on tuition. One day, I called my wife at lunch as always, and she asked, “What would you do if you had $4,000?” I said, “I’m too busy to talk about fantasies.” She said, “But you really do have $4,000!” I said, “From where?” She said, “From Danny Thomas.” “Who’s Danny Thomas?” She said, “The TV star.” Then she read me an article from The Chicago Sun. Local officials had told Mr. Thomas about a young rabbi who was struggling to get through medical school. Thomas asked, “How much does your rabbi need?” They said, “Four thousand dollars.” He said, “Tell your rabbi he’s got it.” So, I did my internship in general medicine, went to the University of Pittsburgh Psychiatric Institute for three years, and then worked two more years for a state hospital.
