The entire world knows this is the most ridiculous Administration… well everyone except the liberals here in America. The media made hating Trump trendy/popular. Liberals are so desperate to be trendy/popular, they voted against their best interests. pic.twitter.com/3FN24yqgd2

A driver ran down a woman in a predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in New Jersey on Tuesday, seriously injuring her.
The incident occurred in the town of Elizabeth, New Jersey, Tuesday morning at approximately 8:00 a.m. when the suspect suddenly swerved off the road and onto the lawn of a nearby house, driving his vehicle towards a female pedestrian.
The driver pursued the woman, who attempted to evade the suspect’s vehicle.
The suspect managed to run down the woman, running her over with his vehicle. He then turned around and continued his attack, running over her repeatedly.
According to RLS Media, the woman suffered serious injuries, but is now listed in stable condition.
Authorities located and arrested the driver, who has been charged with attempted murder.
US consumers were asked to dispose of some Kinder chocolate products not authorized for distribution in the country, warning they could be from the batch recently recalled in Europe due to a potential Salmonella Typhimurium contamination.
The confectionery group’s North American division last week recalled Kinder Happy Moments Chocolate Assortment and Kinder Mix Chocolate Treats basket because they were manufactured in a facility where salmonella was detected.
The voluntary recall on Tuesday is for two products in the US — Kinder Happy Moments Milk Chocolate and Crispy Wafers assortment with a best by date of July 18 and Kinder Mix Chocolate Treats Basket with a best by date of July 30 — and affects no other Kinder products distributed or sold by Ferrero’s US arm.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency on Monday said Ferrero was also recalling certain Kinder brand chocolate products for the same reason.
The company on Tuesday published an update upon the Food and Drug Administration’s request to ask Americans to dispose of Kinder products intended for foreign markets yet available for sale in the United States.
Italy’s Ferrero has also recalled several batches of Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs and other products in Spain, Britain and Ireland, while Belgian health authorities have urged consumers not to eat several recalled Kinder products.
Ferrero on Tuesday maintained there were no reports of illness in the United States to date from the chocolates and it was working with the FDA to address the problem.
Following a deterioration in his health over the past several days, Gur Hamel, z’l, passed away on Monday morning in his cell in Ayalon Prison.
Hamel, 52, was sentenced to life in prison in 2000 two years after killing a Palestinian farmer to avenge the murder of two of his friends who were killed by an Arab terrorist as well as an Israeli security guard who was murdered by an Arab earlier that day near Kiryat Arba. Hamel’s brother-in-law was also murdered by an Arab terrorist in a shooting attack in the Shomron.
At the time, he was a resident of Itamar, although residents said he was an extremist whose request for permanent residency had been denied.
In recent days, an attorney from the Honenu legal aid organization had appealed several times to Israel’s Prison Services to provide Hamel with medical treatment and evacuate him for urgent care at the hospital. All of the appeals were denied.
Hamel’s family members claimed that his medical condition was neglected and the Prison Services are to blame for his death.
In January, Michigan’s 11th district was redrawn as part of statewide congressional map changes. Two incumbent Democratic House representatives first elected in 2018, Haley Stevens and Andy Levin, soon went from cordial allies to primary opponents, each hoping to win the Detroit-area seat come November.
Not long after, an email sent by David Victor, a past president of the pro-Israel AIPAC lobby group who lives in the Detroit area, was leaked to a progressive group and posted on social media. Victor had backed Levin, son of longtime former Congressman Sandy Levin (who was brother to the late U.S. Senator Carl Levin), in 2018. But in the message, sent to pro-Israel donors in the Detroit area, Victor called Levin “arguably the most corrosive member of Congress to the U.S.-Israel relationship,” and urged the donors to back Stevens in the race.
About 14,000 Birthright Israel participants from nearly 900 universities and colleges in North America are expected to land in Israel in the coming months, as part of Birthright’s 2022 Summer season. The flights, which begin on May 1st mark Birthright Israel’s long-awaited return after a series of suspensions since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Birthright expects to bring about 19,000 young adults from North America during this summer.
Birthright Campus Trips are a unique opportunity for North American students to go on a life-changing trip to Israel with their college friends and meet new people from their campus. The trips are usually timed to coincide with the school’s winter or summer breaks.
Colleges with the largest number of Birthright Campus Trip participants include University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (585 students); University of Florida (506 students); and University of Wisconsin – Madison (424 students).
After a long hiatus, we are excited to bring back so many students from North America to these important and exciting tours to Israel. Many of these students are coming from college and university campuses where incidences of anti-Semitism are increasing, leaving them feeling beleaguered and isolated,” said Birthright Israel CEO Gidi Mark. “We know that after going on a Birthright trip, these students feel more confident,“ he added.
Zachary Lech, 20, a Harvard student studying government, will travel to Israel on an upcoming campus trip. Having grown up in a small town, Lech said that he had not experienced being part of “a vibrant Jewish community” before arriving at Harvard. He hopes to further his Jewish involvement through Birthright. “I went on a short trip to Israel when I was 10, but this is my first time really seeing the country. I'm beyond excited to join the amazing people I've met here at Harvard on a trip to Israel to see for myself what Jewish life can really look like, and to explore my culture,” he said.
At a recent town meeting in Rockville Center, a village right near the Five Towns, a local resident gets up and asks the board to amend the local laws to prevent Jews from opening Shuls in houses.
The woman describes how she grew up in the Five Towns, and laments how Jews moved in and opened Shuls. She describes in dark tones how the local real estate market jumped as a result, causing many of the non-Jewish residents to grab the opportunity to sell, eventually causing the neighborhood demographics to change.
Finally, she gravely warns the board how like the Five Towns, Rockville Center “can be next.”
Shudders can practically be felt throughout the room as she speaks.
When she finishes, the board says that they have received similar complaints, and will immediately look into what can be done.
Two members of Rabbi Eliezer Berland’s group of followers were shot on Monday morning as they were making their Kever Yosef HaTzadik.
Details surrounding the incident remain unclear, but both victims are reportedly in moderate condition and their attackers were able to escape the scene without being apprehended.
A police investigation into the incident is ongoing.
