Meghan Markle’s sister says estranged sibling has ‘narcissistic personality disorder’

 

Meghan Markle’s half-sister said Monday that her estranged sibling suffers from “narcissistic personality disorder” — while Markle’s hubby Prince Harry is the victim of Stockholm syndrome.

“I definitely see a narcissistic personality disorder. I’m not diagnosing her. She needs to see a counselor,’’ Samantha Markle told the Australian radio show “Fifi, Fev and Nick’’ the day after Meghan and Harry’s bombshell TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.

“I feel sorry for Harry,’’ Samantha said. “She pulled him away from his family, all of his friends, the life that he knew.

“He reminds me of one of those kidnap victims who eventually starts to believe that their life was so horrible and they’re in love with their captor.”

In addition to taking on the royal family during the sit-down with Winfrey, Meghan ripped into Samantha, dousing shade on the half-sister’s new “tell-all’’ memoir, “The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister Part 1.’’ 

“I think it would be very hard to tell all when you don’t know me,” Markle said.

Meghan claimed that the last time she saw Samantha “must have been at least 18, 19 years ago’’ and referred to herself as “an only child.”

She had said, ‘I haven’t hadn’t seen Samantha for 19 years.’ Well, she was at my graduation from my bachelor degree — there was so many photos in the media that are … about that, and that was 2008, so don’t know about you, but if you do the math, 2008 to now is not 19 years!” Samantha said.

“To suggest that she was an only child was really delusional,’’ the sibling added of Meghan.

Samantha also challenged Markle over presenting herself as absolutely clueless about the royals before she met Harry.

Meghan told Winfrey, “I didn’t grow up knowing much about the royal family. … I never looked up my husband online.’’

Samantha claimed, “She’s been seen in several photos in front of Buckingham palace!

“She idolized Diana,’’ the sibling said, referring to Princess Di, Harry’s mother. 

“In fact, Meghan went to great lengths to study Diana, to mimic her clothing, to mimic her body language and to wear Diana’s perfume on their first date! Don’t tell me my sister didn’t know who Harry was!”

Meghan claimed Samantha only changed her married name back to Markle after the now-royal began dating Harry — but Samantha said, “First of all, I did an interview, and I held up my college degree — my name’s been Markle since 1964 – it’s on my college degree!”

Meghan also publicly accused her dad of “betrayal’’ by selling her out to the tabloids and lamented to Winfrey, “I’ve lost my father.”

Samantha, who has the same father, Thomas Markle, said their dad watched the interview and, “He’s very hurt.

“And for her to say, ‘I lost my dad,’ I felt like, oh, my God, and the Oscar goes to, ‘I lost my dad!’

“[Oprah] needs to get Dr. Phil on my sister,’’ Samantha said, referring to Winfrey’s favorite TV psychologist, Dr. Phil McGraw.

Biden's Dogs Banished From White House After Biting Security ...

Is Biden next? Kamala can't wait until he croaks 

They’re in the dog house now.

President Biden’s two German shepherds have been moved out of the White House after one of them showed some ruff behavior, reports said Monday.

First dogs Major and Champ were sent back to the Biden family home in Wilmington, Delaware last week, CNN and TMZ reported.

Major, who made history as the first rescue dog in the Executive Mansion, is said to have bitten a member of White House security, according to the reports.

The 3-year-old pooch has also reportedly been barking and lunging at staff and security.

He was adopted by the president and First Lady Jill Biden from the Delaware Humane Association in 2018. Joe Biden fractured his foot while playing with Major back in November.

Champ is the older of the two at 13 and has been part of the Biden family since 2008.

The pooches officially moved in to the White House on Jan. 25 after spending the first week of the Biden administration at the Delaware home.

They’ve been allowed to roam the grounds around the complex and have been included in Oval Office photos.

The White House didn’t return a request for comment from The Post.

“Burqa Ban” – Swiss Vote To Ban Face Coverings In Public

 

Swiss voters narrowly approved on Sunday a proposal to ban face coverings, both the niqabs and burqas worn by a few Muslim women in the country and the ski masks and bandannas used by protesters.

The measure will outlaw covering one’s face in public places like restaurants, sports stadiums, public transport or simply walking in the street. It foresees exceptions at religious sites and for security or health reasons, such as face masks people are wearing now to protect against COVID-19, as well as for traditional Carnival celebrations. Authorities have two years to draw up detailed legislation.

Biden Deteriorating Daily... Forgets Name Of The Pentagon And The Name Of The Secretary Of Defense

President Joe Biden appeared to forget the name of the Pentagon and the name of the Secretary of Defense on Monday.

It happened when Biden was announcing the nominations of two female generals for promotion to four-star commands, hailing the nominees as “two outstanding and eminently qualified warriors and patriots.”

“And I want to thank the sec – the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my – the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.

“I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he’s done to try to implement what we just talked about. And for recommending these two women for promotion.”

Third stimulus check calculator: See how much money you could receive from relief bill

 Millions of Americans can expect to receive a third stimulus check after Senate Democrats approved President Biden's "American Rescue Plan" on Saturday, clearing the way for another $2 trillion injection of federal aid intended to boost the economy's recovery.

The cash payments included in the nearly $2 trillion stimulus bill are the largest yet, with individuals earning $75,000 or less eligible to receive the fully promised $1,400. Couples earning $150,000 or less will receive a check worth $2,800. Households will receive an additional $1,400 for each dependent child claimed on their most-recent tax filings.

As with previous rounds, Americans who earn more than the threshold line will still receive a partial check. But the money will phase out faster than previous rounds, cutting off payments for roughly 16 million Americans who qualified for previous relief payments, according to a preliminary analysis published by the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

Individuals making $80,000 a year or more and couples making $160,000 a year, or higher, no longer qualify for the checks. That means individuals earning between $80,000 and $100,000, and couples earning between $160,000 and $200,000, are newly excluded from a partial check under the legislation.

You can use this free stimulus check calculator from Omni to determine how much money you will likely receive from the latest relief bill. If you've already filed your 2020 tax return, the payment will most likely be based on that income. If you haven't, the government will likely use your 2019 return to calculate how much you're owed.

Stimulus check eligibility emerged as a major point of contention during relief negotiations between different ideological factions of the Democratic Party. The party could not afford to lose the support of even a single Senate Democrat, as it needed all 50 members to pass the measure via simple majority with a procedural tool known as budget reconciliation and bypass a filibuster by Republicans.

President Biden pledged to pass $2,000 stimulus checks ahead of the Georgia Senate runoffs in January, which Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock won. His administration views the $1,400 payments as a supplement to the $600 checks that Congress approved in December.

Lawmakers are racing to send the legislation to Biden's desk before March 14, when more than 11 million Americans will lose their jobless aid when two key federal jobless aid programs created a year ago under the CARES Act — and extended in the $900 billion relief package that Congress passed in December — lapse.

The American Rescue Plan also extends unemployment benefits at $300 a week through August, expands the child tax credit to offer parents up to $3,600 per child, includes $350 billion in funding for state and local governments and allocates billions of dollars for vaccine distribution.

Drake raps ‘I should probably go to yeshiva’ on new single

 

One of rapper Drake’s latest tunes gives a nod to his Jewish roots — even as he hints that he might be finding Jesus.

In “Wants and Needs,” one of three tracks in his “Scary Hours 2” EP released at midnight on Thursday, Drake meditates on his many sins. In one line, he raps: “Yeah, I probably should go to yeshiva, we went to Ibiza.”

Ibiza is an island just off the coast of mainland Spain known as a center of electronic dance music party tourism. So the insinuation in Drake’s line is that he could have used more of the structure and discipline of Orthodox Jewish schooling in his life, but instead he chose to immerse himself in a party culture.

The next lines reference fellow star rapper Kanye West, who often goes by the nickname Yeezy: “Yeah, I probably should go link with Yeezy, I need me some Jesus/ But soon as I started confessin’ my sins, he wouldn’t believe us.”

Then later in the chorus, Drake adds: “Should repent, I need me some Jesus in my life/ Amen.”
West has become an intensely religious Christian public figure in recent years, hosting religious services and basing his latest album on religious themes.

Born Aubrey Drake Graham in Toronto to a black father and Jewish mother, Drake attended Jewish day school as a kid and had a bar mitzvah, which he parodied on “Saturday Night Live.” He has since become guarded in talking publicly about his Jewish identity, despite hinting at it in some ways over the years (see his bar mitzvah-themed birthday party or his nightclub named after his Jewish grandparents).

Rabbi Yechezkel Roth, the Karlburger Rov, Passes Away at 85

 

The Karlsburger Rov, Rabbi Yechezkel Roth, passed away this morning of an apparent heart attack at the age of 85 in his beis medrash in Borough Park.

Considered by many in the Chasidic world and beyond to be the most prominent leading rabbinic figure on Halacha in the U.S. Rabbi Roth was the author of the nine volume Emek Hateshuva, Rabbi Roth will be buried in Israel.

With his incisive mind and his vast knowledge, Rabbi Roth was a renowned poseik, whose guidance on intricate matters was sought by Jews of all stripes, from all locations. 

According to Mishpacha, Rabbi Roth came to Borough Park in 1972 at the request of the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, to serve on the local Satmar beis din. He had previously been living in Israel and in 1980 Rabbi Roth began traveling to Meron three times a year for several decades, spending weeks praying at the gravesite of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, which he considered to be a place of incomparable heavenly merit.

Rabbi Roth was known to spend most nights learning in his 53rd Street synagogue, taking just short naps in his chair. As previously reported News, Rabbi Roth suffered a massive heart attack nearly five years ago, returning to his synagogue and his beis din after his recovery.

Following a 2 PM funeral at 1558 53rd Street, Rabbi Roth will be flown to Israel for burial in Meron.
