Liberal "Loonies" "Cancel" Trump's Frum Lawyer because He Defended Trump

 Far from hurting former President Donald Trump, the Democrats’ attempt to bring him down with a second impeachment trial actually has been a benefit to the former president, though it has gotten one of his attorneys “canceled,” Trump lawyer David Schoen tells Newsmax TV.

“This political weaponization of impeachment struck at the heart of the institution of the presidency, put it at risk and may have put it at risk in the future,” David Schoen said Thursday on “Greg Kelly Reports.” “But I think you’re going to see now is a backlash,” adding that Trump has gained momentum from the win.

“Let’s face it. Let’s look at who he is. They knew who he was when they elected him and he wasn’t one of them,” Schoen told host Greg Kelly. “But look at what he did in office. He’s the first so-called politician who kept his word,” said Schoen, pointing to Trump making other members of NATO pay their share and moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

“They’re going to empower him because everyone saw that the attack was unfair in this impeachment process,” he said.

On the other side, Schoen has seen himself a victim of the “cancel culture,” having an offer to teach a civil rights law class revoked after he accepted the job of defending Trump.

“I thought it was a sad commentary, quite frankly,” he said, but I also wouldn’t want students to be uncomfortable. What’s changed is the concept of liberalism. You know, liberalism used to favor the marketplace of ideas. They would want to hear all sides of the story. Everyone has something to bring to the table. Not anymore.”

Naive Biden's Decision to Re-Start the Iran Nuclear Deal Blasted by Pompei

 Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and others slammed the Biden administration Thursday after the White House said it was ready to restart diplomacy with Tehran over a nuclear deal.

The critics argued that the administration was rushing into talks with a regime that's accused of sponsoring terror attacks against U.S. forces. Others fear the Biden administration may provide Iran with sanctions relief and concessions with little shift in its nuclear program.

"The Ayatollah understands only strength. I led a response to the Iranian threat that protected the American people from its terror and supported the Jewish state of Israel," Pompeo told the Washington Free Beacon. "Adopting the European Union model of accommodation ... will guarantee Iran a path to a nuclear arsenal."

Pompeo said the Trump administration -- which in 2018 withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration and other nations -- "refused" to "appease the Iranian theocracy," according to the Washington Free Beacon.

R' Tzvi Kraut Couldn't Go On Living but now Bobov 48 Wouldn't Let Him Die

So the two Bobovs not only fight over the live chassidim but now they are fighting over the dead ...

R' Tzvi Kraut, died after a long illness and was brought to be buried last Friday in Beit Shemesh on a private plane costing over $200,000.00...but let me not digress from the real story ...

R' Tzvi Kraut and all of his children except one (R' Yechezkel) followed the Bobov 45 Rebbe..

The first notice above, is the "Bobov 45 Notice" of the Nicham Aveilim of R' Tzvi Kraut ...
R' Tzvi is mentioned of course, and all the children sitting Shiva.. notice that they included his son, R' Yechezkel, even though he is a follower of Bobov 48..

Now look at the second notice below hanging in Bobov 48...
Find anything strange? 
No.... I'm not talking about how elaborate the notice is ... I'm talking about ... what it actually says ... and more importantly, what it doesn't say...
R' Tzvi Kraut who died and is the reason why his children are sitting Shiva is not mentioned at all ... only because he committed the big aveirah of following the "wrong rebbe'... and wonder of wonders, only R' Yechezkel is mentioned...
So while we all say by rote that we are waiting for Moshiach, I don't think anyone really means it or cares ...

Now I learned in Bobover Yeshiva as a child, and I must say that I have very nice memories and it was a beautiful peaceful Chassidus, and may I add that I also know the Krauts from those days ... a beautiful quiet Bobover family... how shameful that R' Tzvi who suffered so much while he was alive is being treated as a pariah at his death from people that he loved so much ...
As the saying goes "No good deed goes unpunished!"

Just as a reminder.. Hitler killed all Jews he could find, and threw all of them into the same fiery ovens ... and he would have thrown the 45ers and the 48ers in together ... how soon we forget..

Yair Lapid threatens Chabad "end of Chanukah Menoras on Every Corner"

Journalist Nahum Barnea of Yediot Aharonotreported that Yesh Atid's chairman, MK Yair Lapid, called one of the leaders of Chabad-Lubavitch in Israel to speak with him about the upcoming elections.

According to him, the integration between the more haredi-like Religious Zionists and the right-wing nationalists is something which the Chabad community sees as fitting. In 1996, they funded Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's campaign, which took, "Netanyahu is good for Jews" as its slogan.

The next step, Barnea said, is, "Ben Gvir is good for Jews."

Itamar Ben-Gvir is the leader of the Otzma Yehudit party, which is currently running in a joint list with MK Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism party.

According to Barnea, in a phone call earlier this week, Lapid told the Chabad leader he spoke to: "If you support Smotrich and Ben Gvir's party, I will persecute you."

"It will be the end of Hanukkah menorahs on every corner during Hanukkah, and Chabad houses around the entire world. It will be the end of your story on loving every Jew."

In response, Smotrich said: "This is the whole difference between Chabad and Lapid, in one threat."

"The Chabad movement is careful not to identify itself politically, it loves and helps every Jew, no matter who he is, without any conditions and without any political requirements. It's the polar opposite of Yair Lapid.

"I am sure that in Chabad, they will continue to love Lapid, to bring him closer, and to host him happily, even after this threat. Because that's what Chabad-Lubavitchers are like, for over 200 years."

Chareidie Girl who crossed into Syria lands in Israel

 Following the efforts of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an Israeli citizen who crossed the border into Syria and was held by the Syrians returned to Israel overnight Thursday.

The woman returned to Israel from Moscow with an Israeli delegation, led by the chief of staff of the Prime Minister’s Office Asher Hayun and the coordinator of the prisoners and missing persons, Yaron Blum, with the participation of representatives of the National Security Council and a doctor.

An Israeli doctor examined the Israeli and determined that she was feeling well. The Israeli has spoken to her family. As far as is known, the young Israeli woman crossed the border into an area without a fence, near the summit of Mount Hermon.

Netanyahu said, "A few days ago, a young Israeli woman crossed the border into Syria. I spoke twice with my friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin. I asked for his help to bring her back, and he indeed acted. I would like to thank him for once again enlisting in efforts to return Israeli citizens to Israel."

"Israel has always done and will always do everything in its power to bring our citizens back home. I would like to thank the President, the head of the National Security Council, the Coordinator of Prisoners and Missing Persons, the IDF, the Shin Bet, the Mossad, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and everyone who helped in this important operation. Thank you," the Prime Minister added.

As a gesture of goodwill and in order to advance the deal, Israel returned to Syria two shepherds who entered Israel and also shortened by three months the community service work imposed on Nihal al-Makat, a Druze from Majdal Shams.

CNN's Chris Cuomo Brother of Governor mocked on social media after calling for Texas mayor to resign

 CNN host Chris Cuomo was mocked on Twitter for lambasting a Texas politician while his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, faces calls to resign and impeachment inquiries after an exclusive Post report found his administration covered up thousands of nursing home COVID-19 deaths.

In a Thursday morning tweet, the younger Cuomo posted an article about a Texas mayor who stepped down from office after calling his constituents “lazy” amid a massive power outage.

Cuomo asked his followers: “Resign or apologize and learn and become a better leader?”

Twitter users couldn’t help but wonder if the television anchor was actually talking about Gov. Cuomo, who is embroiled in scandal after his top aide admitted Albany covered up thousands of coronavirus related deaths in New York nursing homes to avoid political blowback from the Trump White House.

The tweet came a day after CNN reinstated a ban on Chris Cuomo covering his brother, amid the scandal.

Many of the tweet’s 7,100 commenters pointed out the irony of the rhetorical post.

“I don’t disagree, but considering the trouble your brother is in right now, should you really be making a tweet like this?,” one comment read.

“That is great advice for your brother. Do you think he’ll take it,” one person wrote.

“I’ll take ‘Things you should say to your inept brother’ for $500, Alex,” another sarcastically replied.

One user addressed the elephant in the room by simply writing: “Should we tell him?”

The missive from the governor’s brother comes a day after Assemblyman Ron Kim  — whose uncle died of the coronavirus in a nursing home — claimed the fellow Democrat threatened to destroy his career if he didn’t help him contain the political damage of the Post report.

Facebook faces boycott campaign after banning news in Australia


 Facebook is facing a boycott campaign over its controversial move to ban users’ access to news in Australia amid a pay dispute with publishers.

Early Thursday, “Delete Facebook,” “Boycott Zuckerberg” and “Facebook We Need To Talk” began trending on other social networks as anger over the move spread around the globe.

“If it is not already clear, Facebook is not compatible with democracy,” US Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) posted on Twitter. “Threatening to bring an entire country to its knees to agree to Facebook’s terms is the ultimate admission of monopoly power.”

Facebook’s hardball move came Wednesday in response to Australia’s proposed new Media Bargaining law, which would require tech giants to share the ad revenue from news stories with the publishers that produce them. Facebook’s abrupt news ban surprised industry insiders, as it came just hours after Google announced a revenue-sharing deal with News Corp.

Israel: At Least 164 Medical Workers Who Declined Vaccine Contract COVID

At least 164 doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals in Israel contracted the coronavirus after refusing the vaccine, Channel 12 News reported on Wednesday.

A total of 66 medical professionals at Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan contracted the virus, 18 at both Shaarei Tzedek Hospital in Jerusalem and Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Haifa, 17 at the Assuta Medical Center in Ashdod, and 13 at the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya.

The report stated that only 70-90% of medical professionals in Israel were vaccinated, with doctors more likely than nurses to take the jab.

The government is pushing legislation to make vaccination mandatory for medical workers and other workers who come into contact with the public. Those who refuse to be vaccinated will have to be tested for the coronavirus every 48 hours, at their own expense.

Also, the Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved a bill on Wednesday that will allow the Health Ministry to transfer information on unvaccinated Israelis to the Education Ministry and local authorities.
