Is the FBI Totally Corrupt?
Just before the 2020 election, the FBI announced it had thwarted an alleged plot to kidnap the Michigan governor.

A jury found that the FBI had actually entrapped at least 2 of the defendants.
Is this how the DOJ carries out its operations? The American people deserve to know. pic.twitter.com/ZcjGtwKWtC
Lawyer Accuses Judge that fined a Holocaust Survivor $159,000, an "Anti-Semite"
The lawyer representing congregants in a long-running dispute over perennial anti-Israel and antisemitic protests outside their Ann Arbor synagogue on Saturday mornings has accused the federal judge presiding over the case of herself being antisemitic.
The U.S. Supreme Court declined this spring to hear the case, which pits the protesters’ First Amendment right of free expression against the worshippers’ First Amendment right to freely exercise their religion. Lower courts had dismissed the lawsuit the congregants filed in 2019, and U.S. District Court Judge Victoria Roberts ordered them to pay $159,000 in legal fees.
“Considering all of her rulings, taken together in their entirety, the appearance of antisemitism is undeniable,” the lawyer, Marc Susselman, wrote in a brief filed Thursday appealing the order.
Susselman noted that one of the plaintiffs is an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor, and that some of the protesters also picketed outside a Holocaust museum on Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2014 with signs saying “Free Ernst Zundel,” the author of a book titled “The Hitler We Knew and Loved,” who was jailed in Germany for Holocaust denial and inciting racial hatred. (Zundel died in 2017.)
The protests began in 2003 outside an Ann Arbor building that houses services for both the Conservative Beth Israel Congregation and the Pardes Hannah Congregation, which is affiliated with the Jewish Renewal movement. Neither congregation was involved in the lawsuit; Jewish groups including Agudath Israel of America, the Rabbinical Council of America and the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce filed briefs supporting the plaintiffs.
In his latest court filing, Susselman questioned how the judge arrived at the amount of the legal fee —$158,721 — and how the protesters’ signs with slogans including “Resist Jewish Power,” “Jewish Power Corrupts,” and “No More Holocaust Movies” could be protected as addressing “issues of public concern.”
“This is not an issue that may be minimized, rationalized, or swept under the carpet,” Susselman wrote.
“The specter of the appearance of racial, ethnic or religious bias in the rulings of any judge, regardless of the judge’s own race, ethnicity or religion, must be forthrightly addressed, investigated and, if sustained, sanctioned,” he added. (Judge Roberts is Black.) “When such bias seeps into the judiciary, it becomes a cancer which undermines the administration of justice in this country.”

Andy Levin Vicious Anti-Semite Must be Defeated in Michigan

| Andy's Jews Seen Here Supporting Rashida Tlaib |
According to If Not Now, it's no biggie to make your own rules -- like ending Shabbat in the middle of Shabbat. But once they admit their disdain for Judaism and admit they make up their own rules and facts, is it any surprise they say Kaddish for terrorists who kill Israelis? pic.twitter.com/4drPrx6vFB

Askanim at the Funeral of Harav Weiss Warn Beit Shemesh Residents Not to go Near His Casket!
To the extremist right wing Chareidim, the 9 days mean absolutely nothing, they see fit to continue with their endless bickering and fake piety.
Since "officially" they don't own smartphones, the askanim established a phone number to keep the sheep informed on a minute-by-minute basis where the levaye was and how it was progressing.
The phone recording had a message for Beit Shemesh residents that live in the Ramat Avraham section:
"Don't go near or (G-d Forbid) touch the casket! "
The dispute goes back at least 9 years when a developer by the name of Golobnezitz decided to put up a development in Beit Shemesh and called it "Ramat Avraham." The minhag is that when a developer chooses a site to build, he informs the Asra Kadisha mafia, and they supposedly inspect the site to make sure that there are no Jewish bones around. After the developer shells out millions of shekels the mafia gives the developer the permission to proceed.
This Golobnezitz or whatever he calls himself decided to bypass the mafia and brought down Raavad of the Eida Hachreidis, R' Moshe Shternbuch Shlita to the site, and after doing a thorough inspection R' Shternbuch ruled that the site was kosher, no Jewish bones anywhere close. He even wrote a lengthy "teshuva" to support his ruling. R' Chaim Kanievski was also approached about this issue and after looking into the situation, ruled that the site was "kosher."
The Asra Kadisha Mafia went berserk and forced and intimidated the Gaavad of the Eida Hachreidis, the now deceased R' Tuvia Weiss z"l to overrule his partner in the Eida, R' Moshe Shernbuch, which he did.
But R' Moshe Shternbuch refused to back down and gave the signal to the developer to continue building, which he did and built a brand-new town called Ramat Avraham where thousands of Beit Shemesh residents live.
The Weiss followers started protesting at the development on a daily basis and intimidated even the little children of the residents on their way to school. These protests continue to this day; the crazed Weiss followers will not do any shidduchim with those living in Ramat Avraham.
When the Weiss followers saw that they were totally ignored by everyone, they began a violent harassment campaign against their very own Harav Shternbach, a Rav of their Eida Hachreidies. For example, they went and stole Rav Shternbuch's "shaalos & teshuvois" from nearby shuls and set them all on fire in front of Rav Shternbach's home ala Krystal Nacht. Another example, when Harav Shternbach visited Williamsburg a few years ago, he had to stop his visit midway, because the police warned him that they could no longer protect him from the crazed Satmar mobs, who were backing the Asra Kadisha Mafia under the jurisdiction of Harav Weiss z"l. Rav Shernbuch wasn't fazed and even had one of his children move to Ramat Avraham for good measure.
Even though the Ramat Avraham residents basically defied the Gavvad Harav Weiss z"l they still respected him as a tzaddik, after all R' Weiss was the Gaavad of the Eida Hachreidis. They felt that they were following Daas Torah by moving into the development, following the repeated rulings of Harav Shternbuch Shlita who was and still is the Raavad of the extreme Eida Hachreidis.
Now that Rav Weiss passed away during the 9 days, the Weiss followers decided to continue the minhag of their ancestors the notorious Kamtaza bar Kamtza (minyani de'yoimie) and issued a "fatwa' against the residents of Ramat Avraham, Beit Shemesh, that they stay clear of the levaya and the casket.
As of this writing the extremists have not named a successor, which is usually done at the levaya.
Earlier this morning, there were clashes between a group of Eida Hachareidis who came to participate in the funeral procession and police forces near the rabbi's house in Jerusalem. The extremists called the police "Nazis" and "murderers".
Just that you know, the residents of Ramat Avraham are followers of the Eida Hachreidis and are extremists themselves.

Reb Luzy Steinmetz of Flatbush Passes Away
The Flatbush community as well as the rest of the world suffered a tremendous loss on Friday afternoon, when long time Flatbush resident Rabbi Luzy Steinmetz Z”L was Niftar after battling a long illness.
Luzy may have just been in his mid forties, but his accomplishments surpassed his age. He was a long standing Mispallel at Khal Bnei Torah led by Rav Bentzion Shiffenbauer. He was a graduate of Yeshiva Torah Temimah and a talmid of Yeshivahs Mir in Yerushalayim and Yeshiva Torah Vodas in Flatbush.
Luzy encompassed all 3 pillars that we learn about in Pirkei Avos; Torah-Avodah-Gemilas Chessed.
He embodied Torah as a long time Daf Yomi Magid shuir, as well as always ready to enlighten his friends and those around him with a good vort.
His Avodah was something to admire. His tefiila and kedushas Bais Hamedrish was admirable. His Simchas Hachaim was obvious to all who knew him, every day and especially on Shabbos.
Lastly, Luzy was a tremendous Baal chessed without ever needing recognition. His chessed helped many people in need, all without mention that Luzy was behind it all.
Rosh Chodesh Av is a day that the Mishnah writes “we begin to diminish joy” as we enter Aveilus for the 1st and 2nd Bais Hamikdosh. Rosh Chodesh in general is a day of celebration, and even though it’s the beginning of the 9 days of mourning, we still say Hallel and celebrate the day as we do every Rosh Chodesh.
It is also the Yartzeit of Aron Hakoen, who was a rodef shalom.
It is no coincidence that Luzy’s passing is on Rosh Chodesh and sharing the same Yartzeit as Aron Hakoen.
Luzy was a true Rodeph Shalom, someone who always had a smile on his face and filled the room with joy.
May this Rosh Chodesh be a new beginning, a beginning of Gueula, a beginning of building the Bais Hamikdosh quickly.
Levaya for ר’ חיים אלעזר ע”ה בן ר’ שמשון אריה נ”י will take place Sunday at 11am at Shomrei Hadas and Kevurah will be in Eretz Yisroel.
May His family, friends and all those that knew him have a Nechamah.
