Ok Guys Lay of Rep George Santos


 

New York is overrun by an endless crime wave unleashed by Democrats who decided that criminals were the real victims and should be set free and no longer locked up for minor offenses like shoplifting or violent assault, have dedicated all the state’s prosecutorial resources to investigating Republicans.


This time out it’s Rep. George Santos whose absurd lies have been front-page material for a week.

Why an obscure New York freshman congressman’s lies should be a national focus and not the president repeatedly telling crazy lies whose scope is entirely incomprehensible is one obvious question.

Earlier this month, Biden told an entire story about awarding his own uncle a purple heart for fighting in the Battle of the Bulge.

His uncle died ten years before Biden became vice president.

Biden began his story by saying, “My dad, when I got elected vice president.” His father died during Bush’s second year in office.

Nobody’s investigating Biden who has spent about 40 years making up lies about his background. No one’s going to go back and determine how Senator Elizabeth Warren benefited from lying about being an Indian. And yet if she’d stayed aligned with the libertarians or went right-wing, you know that they’d find an angle.

Then there’s AOC’s own fictionalized background. Sandy from Westchester was not the girl from the Bronx.

. Voters did pick him, and they’ll have a chance to get rid of him in a few years. Did they vote for him because they believed he was a gay Jewish man who lost his mother on 9/11? Or did they just vote against his opponents or for a change? We can find out a few years from now. But unless Santos clearly and plainly broke the law, then an investigation is a political exercise in trying to criminalize what politicians do all the time.

Like Hillary Clinton claiming to have tried to join NASA and the Marines, coming down under fire at an airport, being named after Sir Edmund Hilary, or fibbing that Chelsea was near Ground Zero on 9/11,

Politicians telling lies to make themselves seem more interesting or likable is not a crime. Although if they, like Hillary or Obama, charge people money by way of books or speeches for those lies, there may be grounds for legal action there.

It is possible to believe that Santos appears to be a clumsy con artist and that the same double standard is in play that operates the system for the benefit of one party. When that system also controls the legal system, that’s tyranny.

Chareidim Riot in Yerushalayim because of the Arrest of those who destroyed an Eyeglass store in Geula

 






We reported two weeks ago, that Chareidim are now going after optical stores and how they destroyed an optical store in Geula and caused millions of shekels in damage. They were arrested and now thousands want them out of jail so they can continue to burn down other stores. 

Last night, they came out like roaches and caused untold damage and chaos. After the police asked them nicely to disperse, they began their minhag of burning trash bins and hurling them at police. The  fact that a mother of 11 was in a coma for two and half weeks meant absolutely nothing since the victim's Chareidie family, like Christians, told everyone "To turn the other cheek" 
Some dressed up in prisoner's uniforms. 

Following the arrest of those suspected of destroying an optics store in Jerusalem, Bar Ilan Junction was again in midst of riots tonight. Two demonstrators were injured and evacuated to a hospital 

 The riots concluded with a procession of Chareidim dressed like u prisoners.



An unusual incident occurred when, during clashes with police, a protester was seriously injured in the face. According to the protester, a police officer hit him in the face and the glasses penetrated "into his face." 

Wow! What irony? 

He was evacuated in an intensive care ambulance for medical treatment.

Grandchildren Kidnap Breslav Mashpia R' Yaakov Meir Shechter

 


It seems that the grandchildren of Rav Yaakov Meir Shechter built a huge empire worth millions using R' Shechter's name. 
He is aging, and there is an internal struggle between the gabbaim and the grandchildren on who will control the $$$$$ after Rav Shechter meets his Maker.

The grandchildren aren't sure how long this would take, so they decided, short of executing him, to kidnap him. 
Rav Shechter and his gabbaim were in an undisclosed location in Beit Shemesh last week, when suddenly the grandchildren dressed as people, barged into the home, tied up the gabbaim and dragged out Rav Shechter and kidnapped him. 
Police arrested two of the grandchildren. 



 

Badatz of Stamford Hill Issue "Fatwa" Against a Women Concert for Women ??

 I'm telling you that the rabbanim are destroying Yiddishkeit as we knew it!  What is wrong now with a Woman Concert made exclusively for women? 

Have we gone totally nuts?

I noticed that this Kol Korah was signed by "rabbanim" from the Hisachdas Ha'Ganavim! 

Listen below to the message from the Lady Singer Bracha Jaffe. She is a mother of five and a nurse, and that's who they are banning. 

I am telling you now, if good people are not going to fight these crazies, we are doomed! 

I know that I have a huge UK following, I am asking the women out there to go in mass to this concert, bring your daughters and friends. 

I thought that this only happens in Israel. 










Smotrich’s 1st Day as Finance Minister: Revokes Taxes on Disposables implemented by Lieberman to hurt Chareidim

 

Newly sworn-in Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich on Sunday instructed his staff to prepare for the cancellation of the taxes on disposable tableware and sweet drinks that were implemented by former minister Avigdor Lieberman.

Smotrich had already announced in the past, even before the elections, that he’ll revoke the taxes if he’s elected. “The taxes on disposables and sweet drinks will be canceled unequivocally, there’s no question about it at all,” Smotrich said last month in an interview on Radio 103FM.

Finance Committee chairman Moshe Gafni responded to the announcement by stating:
“I congratulate Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich for his first decision in the ministry to cancel the ‘Lieberman Tax’ on disposable utensils and sweetened drinks, which was intended to harm the Chareidi sector. This was one of our commitments that we said we’ll implement immediately upon the establishment of the government.”

MK Uri Maklev commented on the decision: “These taxes did not come to help the public but only as a negative unprofessional decision intended to harm the public. We congratulate Finance Minister Smotrich for canceling this tax as we committed in the coalition agreement.”

“This action brings the new government’s policy to work for the citizens and not against them. Now, that the order is canceled, we will take action via educational means to preserve the environment and encourage the consumption of healthy drinks.”

Outgoing Environmental Protection Minister Tamar Zandberg (Meretz) responded to Smotrich’s decision by saying: “The new government is allowing petty politics to destroy the environment and health. Instead of moving us forward, this decision is setting us back light years.”

Islamist Terrorist Attacks Police in Times Square and They are Investigating the Motive? Crazy!

 

It's crazy and getting crazier!

Authorities in New York City are investigating whether a man who attacked three police officers at a New Year’s Eve celebration, striking two of them, was inspired by radical Islamic extremism, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the matter.

The attack happened a little after 10 p.m. about eight blocks from Times Square, just outside the high-security zone where revelers are screened for weapons. Two of the officers were struck before an officer shot the man in the shoulder. The two officers were hospitalized, one with a fractured skull and the other with a bad cut, and were expected to recover.

Religious Givat Shmuel Parents Form Separate Class After 8-Year-Old Pupil Revealed As Transgender

 

In a move which received the approval of leading Religious Zionist rabbis, parents in a Givat Shmuel school have moved their children into a separate class outside the school in protest over a transgender girl studying with them.

The story broke last September after teachers at the Moreshet Neria religious school in Givat Shmuel discovered that one of the students in the third grade class was actually female but identified as male. The teachers were extremely perplexed but also angry and insulted that they had not been informed of the situation by the principal. Some teachers considered resigning as they saw this as “the end of the religious school system” if such children can legally be accepted and take part in studies without their gender being revealed.

The school principal, under pressure from the National-Religious Educational Authority, asked the teachers to refer to the student as a male but teachers and parents were incensed at the strange request. Meanwhile the girl, still dressed as a boy with Tzitzis and Kippa, has suffered socially and has no friends in her class from either gender. Attempts to persuade her parents to transfer her to another school have also failed.

Currently the class is mixed-gender but from 4th grade the class will split into two separate classes for boys and girls, making the situation even more awkward for the boys who will learn with the girl.

In the wake of the publicity the issue received, parents who became aware of the situation started demonstrating against the school for keeping the girl in the class. The parents warned that they would take legal steps if “the girl does not come to school dressed according to the school’s directives.”

When the school refused to change its policy, the parents of boys in her class removed their children and set up a new class outside the school, attempting to raise funds for the class, psychological assistance for their children and their public fight against the local school.

In a campaign entitled “Our children, our education, our decision. Stopping the progressive coercion”, the parents argued that “the class is a test for the entire national religious system- tomorrow it could happen in your child’s school.”

Rabbi Yaakov Ariel and Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu offered support to the parents and visited their children. Rabbi Ariel, rabbi of Ramat Gan, said that this was a class where “Torah is studied and halacha is maintained properly as it should be in a religious school.” Rabbi Eliyahu praised the parents for their courage in preventing their children from “spiritual confusion” by mixing with a girl “born like any other girl but whose parents decided that if she dressed and acted like a boy, people would relate to her normally.” He said that this could sow confusion in the minds of the young children as to their gender and “they are forced to live a lie” in accepting the girl as a male. “We need to stop this madness,” Rabbi Eliyahu concluded.

Finally a Rabbi Comes Out Strongly against the ""light Rail Protestors" "A Massiv Chillul Hashem"

 

הרב הראשי לישראל ונשיא מועצת הרבנות הראשית, הראשון לציון הגאון רבי יצחק יוסף, יצא הערב (מוצ"ש), במהלך שיעורו השבועי בבית הכנסת 'היזדים' נגד ההפגנות המתקיימות ברחוב בר אילן בירושלים במחאה על סלילת הרכבת הקלה.

במהלך השיעור התבטא הראשון לציון: "זה גם טורח ציבור, אתה סוגר את כל רחוב בר אילן, פקקים, אדם רוצה להגיע לבית, להגיע לבית הדין,  הם מעכבים הכל".

הרב הראשי קרא לציבור: "צריך להימנע מהדברים האלו, הרב (מרן רבינו עובדיה יוסף זצוק"ל. י-כ) לא בעד הדברים האלו, זה גם גרם לחילול ה', מצלמים את זה בכל העולם. בשביל מה? חסר לנו את ההסתה שיש, צריך להוסיף עוד הסתה?".


The Chief Rabbi of Israel and President of the Chief Rabbinate Council,  the Gaon Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, came out this evening (Motzei Shabbos Koidesh), during his weekly class at the 'Yazidim' Synagogue, against the demonstrations taking place on Bar Ilan Street in Jerusalem in protest of the construction of the light rail

During the class, the Rabbi said:

 "It's also a public nuisance, you close the entire Bar Ilan street, causing traffic jams, a person wants to get to the house, to get to the court, they delay everything."

The chief rabbi called out to the public: 

"These things should be avoided, the rabbi (Maran Rabbino Ovadia Yosef Zatzuk'l. 10-20) was not in favor of these things, it also caused a chillul Hashem, this was  filmed all over the world. for what? We have a lack of incitements? we have to add more incitement?

Sefer Torah Falls Down on Shabbos in Ponovitz

 

This Shabbos, as they were taking out a Sefer Torah to lein  in the Ponovitz Beis Medrish "ohel kedoishim" another Sefer fell down to the floor. This in front of all who were there. 

Rabbanim of Bnei-Brak are questioning whether the ones who witnessed this will have fast a seperate fast or will it be ok to combine this fast with Asara Be'Teves that is coming up on Tuesday. 

A searing analysis of leftist censorship exposes the progressive mob's cynical drive to silence YOU and wage war on The West


A group of Yale students scream and curse at Yale sociologist Nicholas Christakis (right in blue) for what seems like an eternity, preventing him from addressing them. 'Be quiet,' shrieks one, 'you are disgusting!' 

This piece is adapted from Heather Mac Donald's remarks at the 2022 Encounter Books Gala, upon receiving the Jeane Kirkpatrick Prize for Academic Freedom. A longer version appeared on EncounterBooks.com

In 1982, student agitators protesting U.S. policy in Central America silenced Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick at the University of California, Berkeley, and at the University of Minnesota. Smith College told her that it could not assure her safety during a commencement address, so that address was cancelled too.

Business as usual, you may be thinking.

In fact, the reaction of campus administrators, and even of students themselves, to these shutdowns seems to come from a different world.

The chancellor of the University of California announced his embarrassment that his university had 'succumbed to mob rule.' That university's Board of Regents demanded that an apology be sent to Kirkpatrick. Even the group that organized the Berkeley protest, Students Against Intervention in El Salvador, admitted that the heckling had gone too far.

The group had no intent, it said, to curtail the speech of 'those who disagree with us.'

As anti-military protests spread across the country, the American Association of University Professors, the United States Student Association, and other academic bodies denounced the use of the 'hecklers' veto' and asked faculty and students 'to reaffirm our traditional commitment to freedom to speak and to listen.'

Fast forward to 2015.

A group of Yale students scream and curse at Yale sociologist Nicholas Christakis for what seems like an eternity, preventing him from addressing them. 'Be quiet,' shrieks one, 'you are disgusting!'

Christakis had defended his wife, another Yale professor, who had suggested that students could choose their own Halloween costumes without bureaucratic oversight.

'It's not a debate!' screamed another Yale student. Merely invoking free speech, said a third, creates a 'space to allow for violence to happen on this campus.'

Yale's President Peter Salovey rushed to express his sympathy–not with the beleaguered Christakis–but with his tormentors and their allies: 'their concerns and cries for help made clear that some students find life on our campus profoundly difficult.'

As if this were not nauseating enough, Salovey thanked Yale's students for offering him the opportunity to 'listen to and learn from you.'

This episode proved a template.

In 2016, students at Atlanta's Emory University demanded protection from a few Trump 2016 slogans that had been chalked on campus sidewalks. Trump's name exacerbated the 'unsafety of minority students,' they said.

The chalkers (writing above) would be tracked down and potentially subjected to the 'conduct violation process,' and Emory would implement yet more diversity bureaucracy to protect students from 'harmful speech.'


Emory's president validated what he called the students' 'pain in the face of this perceived intimidation.' The chalkers would be tracked down and potentially subjected to the 'conduct violation process,' and Emory would implement yet more diversity bureaucracy to protect students from 'harmful speech.'
