Chief Strategist of the Rhode Island Democratic Party Wishes Death on Lindsay Graham

 


Kate Coyne-McCoy, the chief strategist of the Rhode Island Democratic Party, faced swift criticism late Monday over a tweet about Sen. Lindsey Graham’s COVID-19 diagnosis.

The Republican from South Carolina—who had been fully vaccinated—announced earlier in the day that he came down with flu-like symptoms on Sunday. He said he was diagnosed with the virus on Monday by the House physician. His symptoms are mild and he said he will be quarantining for 10 days. 

Coyne-McCoy took to Twitter and posted, "It’s wrong to hope he dies from Covid right? Asking for a friend. #COVIDISNOTOVER #LINDSEYGRAHAM," she posted. 

Even at a time when the political divide in the country seems like it could not get any deeper, posts hinting at the death of a political opponent seem to cross an imaginary line of civility. But individuals who tweet out these posts have often weighed the risks and have determined that they play to their base. 

The Rhode Island Democrats and Coyne-McCoy did not immediately respond to after-hours emails from Fox News. The tweet was initially screengrabbed by a reporter from the Free Beacon. 

In March, Rhode Island Public Radio called the hiring of Coyne-McCoy, a registered lobbyist, a "clear signal" that the state’s Democratic Party was intent on moving to the left. The report said that while she is not the party’s executive director, she "will be the person responsible for leading the party’s political efforts."

When former President Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 last year, many Democrats seemed to put politics aside and sent the president well wishes. But some of his notable detractors seemed to view the infection as a political vulnerability during the 2020 election and used it to describe him as reckless.

Graham has been an advocate for the vaccines and received his jabs in December. He said during a visit this spring to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston that "the sooner we get everybody vaccinated, the quicker we can get back to normal."

NY AG Investigation Finds Cuomo Sexually Harassed Multiple Women, Violating State, Federal Law


 Independent investigators determined that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women who worked for the state in violation of state and federal laws.

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on Tuesday, Aug. 3 that the five-month investigation into sexual harassment claims against the governor has concluded, with independent investigators Joon Kim and Anne Clark finding that the Executive Chamber was “rife with fear and intimidation,” which allowed for harassment to occur and create a hostile work environment.

The investigation found that Cuomo allegedly engaged in unwanted groping, kissing, and hugging, as well as making inappropriate comments to both state employees, and non-state employees, including a New York State trooper who was assigned to his protective detail.

According to investigators, the governor and his senior staff took actions to retaliate against at least one former employee for coming forward with her story.

James said that the Executive Chamber fostered a “toxic” workplace that enabled “harassment to occur and created a hostile work environment.” 

“The investigators find that Governor Cuomo’s actions and those of the Executive Chamber violated multiple state and federal laws, as well as the Executive Chamber’s own written policies.” 

The report found that Cuomo repeatedly harassed women, including reaching up one victim’s breast, gazing at their private parts, and talking explicitly about sex in front of employees, which Clark said “humiliated them.” 

“One current employee said that she was terrified that if she spoke out she would lose her job,” Clark said. “She broke down in front of colleagues on March 3, 2021, when he claimed he never touched anyone inappropriately, and then she confided in co-workers, who made it known.” 

Clark also outlined the claims made by former aide Charlotte Bennett, age 25, who came forward in the spring last year and was attempted to be quieted by the governor’s administration.

“He said he could date women as young as 22, knowing that Bennett was 25 at the time,” Clark said. “He asked about details of her sexual assault … He said he was lonely and wanted to be touched … He asked about monogamy … He asked how her sexual assault affected her romantic life … He said she looked like Daisy Duke … He asked if she had any piercings anywhere other than her ears.” 

The investigation also found that Cuomo’s administration was one of fear and intimidation.

Kim said that “words that witnesses have used to describe it include ‘toxic,’ ‘hostile,’ ‘abusive,’ while others used words like ‘fear,’ ‘intimidation,’ ‘bullying,’ and ‘vindictive.’”

In texts among members of the administration, Kim said that one wrote that “Hopefully when this is all done, people will realize the culture even outside the sexual harassment stuff is not something you can get away with. You can’t berate and harass people 24/7.” 

James said that “This is a sad day for New York because independent investigators have concluded that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and, in doing so, broke the law. 

“I am grateful to all the women who came forward to tell their stories in painstaking detail, enabling investigators to get to the truth. 

“No man — no matter how powerful — can be allowed to harass women or violate our human rights laws, period.”

This is a developing story. 


Meah Shearim "perverts" Splash Water on Passing Girls



The woman in the video yells up to the "pervert" in Meah Shearim that just spilled water from the balcony of his home on the girls walking under his cursed window, and asks him if that's Torah? "are you crazy, cut off your peyes or be a person, what a Chillul Hashem, what a chutzpah"

She then turns around to the girls and explains in English, that "we are Chabad and we love every Jew and we don't behave that way" 

The Meah Shearim extremists are like the Shvartza in the Bronx, where a white guy cannot go into their neighborhoods safely but they can go to all white neighborhoods.

I sincerely believe that those spilling water on girls are perverts and use  frumkeit as an excuse. The girls are all dressed tzneesdik but of course not to his sick standards .

AOC Calls For Defunding Police for the regular "Szlub" on the Street, but for herself She Hired Private Guards

 

A view of Federal Election Commission records indicates New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez paid thousands to a former Blackwater contractor for security.

According to the New York Post, Ocasio-Cortez, who has been a vocal proponent of defunding the police, had her campaign pay at least $4,636 for “security services” to Tullis Worldwide Protection.

Since she arrived in Congress, Ocasio-Cortez has insisted that shifting resources out of police departments and into communities is the best way to help those struggling.

“[Suburban] communities have lower crime rates not because they have more police but because they have more resources to support healthy society in a way that reduces crime,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a 2020 social media post.

After New York defunded billions from police, Ocasio-Cortez maintained that “defunding police means defunding police.”

'We don't want any haredim around here'

 


I watched this video over and over and of course I found it very disturbing, a Chareidie should be able to live anywhere in Eretz Yisrael.And this guy should fined for his "hate slurs" 

Having said that, I wonder if a chilonie would be able to move into a Chareidie neighborhood, without them burning his house down. I'm old enough to remember when a "frier" bought a house in New Square at an auction and it didn't take long until the house burned down. 

Well, Chassidim explain, that the whole reason they established a town like New Square or Kiryat Yoel was to protect their traditions without outside influence. This is a utopian dream, something impossible to accomplish in today's world of technology that has infiltrated the most sacred of homes, and in Chutz Le'aaretz.

At any rate, a chilonie would never be able to move into a Chireidie neighborhood, but Chareidim don't like it when it happens to them, they hate being screamed at, something they do every single shabbos in Yerushalayim. 

So if you want respect,,, give it to others as well.


A haredi man looking to buy property in northern Israel was chased out of town by a local resident, who declared that haredim were not welcome in his community.

The incident occurred in the Western Galilee town of Bustan HaGalil, a moshav near the city of Acre [Akko], when realtors brought a haredi customer to visit property up for sale in the moshav.

While the realtors took the customer for a tour of the town, a resident approached them, cursing both the realtors and the customer and demanding they leave town immediately.

“Get out! Move it, or I’m going to eat you,” the man screamed.

When asked why he was harassing the group, the resident replied: “Because we don’t want haredim here.”

“Don’t try and lie to me that you’re here for a vacation. Listen, you’ve got one minute to get out of here, and then we can all be friends.”

The resident continued to berate and even threaten the realtors and their haredi customer, demanding the leave immediately.

“I’m very angry, I don’t want to see them here. Take them to your home, those pieces of garbage, you piece of filth.”

“Do they carry guns? Do they protect us from the Arabs? They’re just trash. They just take our money.”

Religious Zionist Party chief Bezalel Smotrich responded to the incident in a statement, saying: “This disgusting person needs to be embarrassed whenever he leaves his home. The truth is he should go to jail for his violence and racist anti-Semitism. But since there is no chance our rotten police and the justice system will deal with him, make the video go viral and shame him everywhere possible so that he should be too ashamed to leave home.”

Rabbi Kanievsky: Populations at risk must get third vaccine

 

Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, one of the preeminent authorities of Jewish law in the Haredi world, has issued a ruling to the staff of healthcare provider Clalit's Haredi department that populations at risk must be vaccinated a third time.

Senior members of the Dan district administration and Clalit's Haredi department went to the Rabbi's house to hear his opinion regarding the third vaccine according to Jewish law.


The meeting was attended by Dr. Eyal Jacobson, Medical Director of the Dan - Petah Tikva District in Clalit, Rabbi Avraham Konsky, Director of the Haredi Department in Clalit, and Rabbi Nehemiah Blushtein, Director of the Haredi Sector in the Dan - Petah District with Bnei Brak Community Relations Manager Rabbi Yechezkel Peksher.

Rabbi Kanievsky considered the experts' opinions before issuing a ruling that people at risk are obligated to get vaccinated a third time and gave his blessing to the new vaccination campaign.

Rabbi Kanievsky's directive is in accordance with the advice of the Health Ministry and the medical community, both of which support the third vaccination for seniors and other populations at risk.
