Gerer Chassidim in the USA are Dumping their Rebbe and Embracing R' Shaul Alter
מחזה עצום במוצאי שבת עם הגר"ש אלתר
Despite threats by askanim of the Gerer Rebbe, despite that a robo-call went out to Gerer Chassidim warning them that if they attend any ceremony for R' Shaul Alter the Roshei Yeshiva, they will be banished, thousands of Gerer Chassidim came out to embrace the Rosh Yeshiva, basically crowning him as the "real authentic" Rebbe.
The robo-call in english and in yiddish called R' Shaul Alter, the "osah ha'ish" (that man) a term reserved for Jesus. They also requested from Gerer Chassidim to separate from their spouses, bochrim to never speak to their parents again if one of them joined R' Shaul.
It seems that all the threats backfired, as practically all Rabbanim and Roshei Yeshiva have given R' Shaul Alter respect and the Kavod that a Rebbe deserves.

Liberal "pathetic Jew" Bryan Metzger Pushing for Anti-Israel Anti-Semite Muslim to be Confirmed in Biden Administration
Read from this stupid leftist stooge who pushes this Muslim Jew Hater!

'Shameful, unacceptable, and ridiculous:' Senate Republicans just blocked Biden's highest-ranking Muslim nominee for the 4th time
For the fourth time, Senate Republicans blocked the consideration of Dilawar Syed, the CEO of a healthcare AI company and President Joe Biden's nominee to serve as deputy administrator of the Small Business Administration, in the Senate's Small Business Committee. If confirmed, Syed would be the highest-ranking official in the federal government who is a practicing Muslim.
Syed is not the only Biden nominee facing a blockade — Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley have put a hold on many of the president's diplomatic and national security-related nominees as well. But this blockade, according to Senate Democrats and religious advocacy groups, is different.
"We're not exactly sure what they want," said Sen. Ben Cardin, the chair of the committee where Syed's nomination remains held up. "This is obstructionist, and it's very personal to Mr. Syed."
"In his case, some of the arguments they've raised are... not persuasive," said Sen. Mazie Hirono, a Democratic member of the committee.
NYTimes chooses an Israel hater to report from Israel
Delighted to announce that @RajaAbdulrahim is joining the @nytimes Jerusalem Bureau where she will roam widely, writing about Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, with a special focus on Palestinian affairs.

From the Elder of Ziyon Blog
There is definitely justification for hiring a native Arabic-speaking journalist to add to the coverage of the region. However, newspapers should at least pretend to choose journalists who are objective.
Abdulrahim is not one of them. Not one of her tweets that mention Israel is positive about the country.
She regards Gaza as "little more than an open-air prison:"
Sara Yael Hirschhorn Jewish Anti-semite Who Accused Israel of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ Will Speak At ADL Conference
Sara Yael Hirschhorn, an ugly self-hating yente doesn’t deserve to be speaking at ADL conferences against hate when she promotes so many false and hateful smears of Israel.
By Moshe Phillips
The Anti-Defamation League’s upcoming international conference on combatting hate will include a speaker who has publicly accused Israel of perpetrating “ethnic cleansing” against the Palestinian Arabs.
Was she the only speaker available in the who world? Couldn’t the ADL find anyone else?
The ADL says that the conference, titled “Never is Now” and scheduled to take place (via Zoom) on November 7-9, will be “the largest annual summit on antisemitism and hate” ever held.
If the event will indeed be that large, that makes it all the more urgent that the featured speakers not include anybody who has engaged in hateful smears against Israel.
What's the Real Story Behind the Lawsuit Against Israeli Supermarket Shufersal For Hiking Prices To Secular Customers
Let's clarify the Supersol issue. Supersol also owns a Chareidei Chain of Stores called "Yesh".... The products in "Yesh" are cheaper than the exact same products in Supersol.
And so the Chilonim are suing Supersol for millions of Shekel.
So what's behind the lawsuit and their anger, and why are prices cheaper at "Yesh?"
It is possible that some of these lower prices are subsidized by the higher prices of meat that Chareidim buy, or that some is subsidized by the higher prices of the same products at other branches.
Taking them to court for this is a bit populist and stupid. At the same time, populism means that the general public is unhappy, in this case with the fact that the Chareidi community is a sub-economy which appears to be at the expense of the rest of the country, and THAT needs to be dealt with.
However, the Chareidi community doesn't recognize that they are living off other people, and they are educated to interpret any criticism of their lifestyle as attacks on Torah. And THAT is the biggest problem. Until such time as Chareidim, individuals and as a group, can listen to others and hear how their life choices come at a huge cost davka to non-chareidim, we can't move anything forward.
We will move forward when Chareidim appreciate that anything anyone gets "from the government" actually comes from other people's pockets.
Biden Must Have Eaten "Chulent" Because He Blew one big Stinky One While Talking to the Duchess
President Joe Biden let out a long, loud fart while speaking with the Duchess of Cornwall at the COP26 summit.
Camilla Parker Bowles “hasn’t stopped talking about” the 78-year-old’s “long fart,” it has been reported.
The pair were making small talk at the global climate change gathering in Scotland last week when the president broke wind, according to an informed source that spoke to The Mail on Sunday.
“It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,” the source told the outlet.
Biden met the Duchess during a reception on Monday at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, attended by Prince Charles, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Boris Johnson.
Parker Bowles, who has been married to Prince Charles since 2005, was taken aback by the flatulence.
At one point, Biden closed his eyes for 22 seconds before an aide appeared to wake him up.r
Biden could not keep his eyes open while listening to Eddie Ndopu, a disability rights activist, who began losing the president as he warned that global warming threatened “our ability to grow food and even to survive.”
Biden is the oldest-ever US president and turns 79 this month.

Border officials secretly sent 70 planes of migrants to Florida
The US has sent over 70 flights of migrants from the Mexican border to Jacksonville, Florida since the summer — but the Biden administration has not disclosed any information about the clandestine transports, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office claimed.
The alleged flights — which landed in overnight hours — come as officials struggle to deal with overcrowding at border facilities, according to The Washington Examiner.
“Over 70 air charter flights [on] jetliner airliners coming from the southwest border have landed at Jacksonville International Airport,” Larry Keefe, the Republican governor’s public safety czar, told the outlet.
“On average, there’s 36 passengers on each of these flights. And that has been going on over the course of the summer through September.”
Neither the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, nor Department of Health and Human Services would disclose any information to Florida officials regarding the flights, Keefe told the paper.
Missing girl saved by showing TikTok distress signal to motorist
A North Carolina teen allegedly abducted by an older man was rescued after she flashed a passing motorist a hand sign popularized on TikTok as a distress signal.
The unnamed 16-year-old was at a traffic stop on Interstate 75 in southern Kentucky Thursday afternoon when she made the gesture, according to Fox 8 News. She was a passenger in a Toyota Camry being driven by her apparent abductor.
According to the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office, the motion — a fist enclosed across the thumb placed in front of the palm — “represents violence at home – I need help – domestic violence.”
A driver saw the SOS and called 911, following the Camry and providing authorities updates on their location.
The older man was later identified as 61-year-old James Herbert Brick of Cherokee, North Carolina, who was reportedly on his way to see relatives in Ohio.
Brick’s phone contained a photo of a girl being portrayed in a sexual manner, police said.
He was taken to the Laurel County Correctional Center and charged with unlawful imprisonment and possession of matter showing sex performances by a minor.
The teen had been reported missing by her family on Tuesday. Laurel County Deputy Gilbert Acciardo said she had initially gone willingly with Brick. At some point, though, “I think she started fearing for her life,” Acciardo said, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
The TikTok SOS gained popularity during pandemic shutdowns as a way for people to indicate they were in unsafe situations at home.
