Biden is Done with Russia, China, Gives Up On Bringing the US Together So He signs law that makes sesame the ninth major food allergen

President Biden on Friday signed into law a new measure that designates sesame as the ninth major food allergy and ramps up allergy research, enacting a bipartisan attempt to address marked growth in certain deadly allergies.

The Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (Faster) Act passed the Senate in March and the House of Representatives this month. It received bipartisan support.

In the past two decades, life-threatening childhood food allergies have risen steadily, growing by about 4 percent per year to afflict 32 million Americans, according to research by Northwestern University, McKinsey & Company, and Food Allergy Research and Education, a nonprofit. Studies estimate that the costs borne by American families — for medical bills, buying special foods or forgoing full-time employment to care for a child with a food allergy — total $24.8 billion annually.

There are several strong theories to explain the uptick, says Jonathan Spergel, chief of the allergies department at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, but one stands out: In 2000, a small study suggested that if parents delayed the introduction of potentially allergenic foods, kids were less likely to develop those allergies.

“Charedei” Family of French Hill Jerusalem, Exposed as Christian Missionaries

 A family living in French Hill for many years has now been exposed as Missionaries. The children were all in the classic Yeshivas and Beis Yaakovs. The father did Safrus for many years for surrounding neighborhoods, and was the local “Kohein” performing many mitzvos of Pidyon Haben. The goal was to bring Christian concepts and beliefs to “friends” and ultimately create doubt in their Religious upbringings.

The wife had become deathly ill and ultimately passed away, which led the community to raise over $30,000. Local organizations had known what was going on for years in an attempt to monitor the situation and be sure he didn’t go to another community.

Once news got out, the father began deleting messages and blurring images from his Gentile Facebook account. It has since also become clear the non-Jewish Christian family had arrived to Israel with forged documentation.

סיפור מטורף. האיש הזה מסתובב בינינו בשכונת הגבעה הצרפתית. ילדיו לומדים במוסדות חרדים, מציג את עצמו כסופר סת"ם, כתב ספרי תורה ומזוזות ואף הזדהה ככהן ופדה ילדים. אשתו מתה לא מזמן מסרטן, הקהילה פתחה מגבית עבורו. לאחר תחקיר מעמיק של מספר עסקנים התברר: האיש ומשפחתו אינם יהודיים pic.twitter.com/wHG06LCYP4

Meir Kin the Bigamist Sadist Continues to Torment His Wife for 17 Years

 

This film was originally much longer. There were incredible scenes featuring some of the greatest names in the Rabbinical world who shared some of the greatest Divrei Torah and Chizuk about the importance of doing everything possible to free Agunot. 

And at the last minute, these cowards backed out because they were uncomfortable with how it could affect their public perception.

New "Rent Control" Bill Being Sneeked Through Assembly & State Will Destroy New York Housing Market

 Not content with jacking up taxes massively and dangerously mushrooming the state budget, legislators are now looking to inflict yet more pain, by sneaking through a “universal rent control” bill that would clobber the housing market.

This, even though rents in New York City have plunged to decade-long lows.

The legislation, now in committee in both the Assembly and the Senate, is misleadingly labeled “Good Cause Eviction,” when it would essentially force landlords statewide to accept tenants for life — with a cap on yearly rent increases.

That’s right: No building owner could ever evict a tenant or deny him or her a lease renewal, except under narrow circumstances. If landlords tried to raise rent beyond 3 percent, or 150 percent of the region’s Consumer Price Index, that would — by law — be a legitimate reason for a tenant to not pay and still skirt eviction.

The new law would apply to every apartment in the state, thereby instantly subjecting nearly 2 million existing units in the city alone, and any new ones, to rent control — including those rented by the wealthy. And all on top of a raft of harsh measures lawmakers took in 2019 that made it tougher for landlords to make ends meet.

Sure, the bill might sound good for tenants, but there’s no rescinding the laws of economics: It’s too much demand for housing and too little supply that drives up rent, not a lack of regulation. 

Plus, as studies show, rent-control policies only further fuel demand and decrease supply. Parents hang on to large apartments, and keep them off the market, long after the kids are gone — because rent regulation makes their monthly rent too (artificially) low to give up. The prospect of getting a rent-controlled apartment also winds up attracting more people to the market, fueling demand.

Meanwhile, though, landlords can’t recoup costs. They wind up skipping on optional repairs and upgrades and converting rental buildings to co-ops or condos. And you can forget about investors putting up new buildings. Why should they, if they’re only going to lose money?

Contractors and other businesses that depend on work from owners also suffer and the jobs they provide dry up.

“History has shown that strict rent controls lead to less housing, higher rents and more homelessness,” notes landlord rep Jay Martin.

“Whatever housing is left after ‘Good Cause Eviction,’ a k a universal rent control, will be poor quality,” and the result will be “an economic calamity” that’s “worse than the pandemic,” warns Rent Stabilization Association head Joseph Strasburg.

Too bad New York lawmakers don’t care about consequences.

Will the REAL joe Biden Stand Up? Old Joe Biden vs. New Joe Biden

 

Writer Salena Zito best described the Rorschach testthat Donald Trump represented. As she put it in 2016, “The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.” 

Now comes another presidential dilemma: What to make of the new and radical Joe Biden? 

On the surface, it seems an odd question about a 78-year-old man who has spent nearly 50 years in Washington. But the new Biden, the President Biden, doesn’t sound and act like the former senator and vice president. 

In fact, this Biden is so dramatically different that it’s not clear if we should take him either seriously or literally. 

Who the hell is this guy?

NYC Councilman Chaim Deutsch pleads guilty in federal tax fraud case

 

New York City Councilman Chaim Deutsch admitted Thursday that he defrauded the government of tens of thousands of dollars in taxes by concealing “his true business income,” federal officials said.

Deutsch was charged and pleaded guilty Thursday morning in Manhattan federal court to tax fraud for failing to report business income connected to his real estate company, Chasa Management, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. 

The Manhattan feds say the 52-year-old councilman evaded paying $82,076 in property taxes between 2013 and 2015. 

“As an elected official and community leader, Deutsch had a particular responsibility to follow the law,” said US Attorney Audrey Straus. “Instead, over a multi-year period, Deutsch concealed his true business income to avoid paying his fair share of taxes.”

The probe was a joint investigation of the city Department of Investigation, the IRS and Manhattan federal prosecutors. 

“It is dispiriting when a sitting City Council member is convicted of a crime,” DOI Commissioner Margaret Garnett said.

Council Speaker Corey Johnson called on Deutsch to resign saying he “betrayed that public trust by committing tax fraud.”

“Our constituents rightly expect the people they vote for to uphold the law. Deutsch failed them,” Johnson said. “To protect the integrity of the City Council and his Brooklyn seat, he must resign. He can no longer serve his constituents in good faith.”

Council spokeswoman Jennifer Fermino said the guilty plea was “incredibly troubling news.”

“As a result, we are looking at removing Council Member Deutsch from all his committees, including his position as Chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee, as well as his role dispersing discretionary funding,” she said.

The councilman is not required to give up his seat with the guilty plea, according to council sources. 

Deutsch, who was elected in 2014, has no plans to resign despite the conviction, his attorney said in a statement.

“Today, my client pled guilty to a one-count misdemeanor tax office of making a false statement on a tax return,” attorney Henry Mazurek said. “He accepts responsibility for his actions and intends to fully repay the $82,000 in taxes he owes.

“Mr. Deutsch’s dedication to public service will not be diminished, and he looks forward to completing his elected term.”

His current term expires at the end of the year.

The councilman faces up to one year in prison and a year of supervised release, as well as up to $100,000 in fines and restitution. 

He is due back for sentencing on July 29.

New photos show Epstein and Maxwell were VIP guests in Clinton’s White House

 

Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were once White House guests of former President Bill Clinton, new pictures prove.

The images were published by The Sun, days after Maxwell’s last court appearance on sex trafficking charges in Manhattan, related to her alleged procurement of underage rape victims for the convicted pedophile.

The disgusting duo were invited to the White House in 1993, after Epstein reportedly donated money to have the Oval Office refurbished.

They toured the East Room and the presidential residence during a reception, the paper reported.

The pictures expand the timeline of Clinton’s involvement with Epstein and Maxwell.

Prior to their surfacing, some of the oldest photos linking the trio were from 2002, Clinton was photographed aboard Epstein’s private jet along with Maxwell and one of the late billionaires’ rape accusers.

The former president also reportedly had a private dinner with Maxwell in 2014 — long after Epstein was convicted of child sex abuse.

Clinton has denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island in the Bahamas, but accuser Virginia Giuffre has claimed to be on the island at the same time as the ex-president.

A book released last year claims that Clinton had an affair with Maxwell.

Clinton has maintained he was unaware of any sexual misconduct in his dealings with the wealthy financier. Epstein has also socialized with Prince Andrew — who Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with.

Epstein, facing a slew of sex charges, was found fatally hanged in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019.

The Florida mansion where he allegedly raped hundreds of girls and women was demolished last week.
