Garland Named Special Counsel to Investigate Trump, when he knew full well Two Weeks Before that Biden Had Classified Docs in his home for years!

 

Attorney General Merrick Garland named a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump, not President Joe Biden, two weeks after Biden’s classified briefings and documents were discovered at the Penn Biden Center.

On November 18, Garland named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith special counsel for two probes by the Department of Justice of Trump. About two weeks prior, on November 2, Biden’s classified documents were reportedly unearthed at Biden’s so-called “think tank,” the Penn Biden Center, by the president’s attorney.

The timeline suggests Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Biden’s 2024 presidential political opponent for allegedly mishandling classified documents while knowing Biden had allegedly committed the same violation. 

Garland knew about Biden’s mishandling of documents just six days before the midterm elections. Critics say Garland’s decision to not disclose to revelations before January was a political calculation to benefit Democrats in the midterms.

Israel-Hating "New Israel Fund " is Financing the Anti-Netanyahu Government Protests in an attempt to bring down the Government

 


The New Israel Fund, a U.S.-based NGO that provides financial support to progressive and anti-Israel groups, sent an email to supporters on Tuesday taking credit for recent protests against the government.

“The New Israel Fund assisted with a special grant to the many civil society organizations that took part in the production of the huge demonstration on Saturday night in Tel Aviv,” the email quoted by Channel 14 stated, referring to a protest in the city’s Habima Square attended by more than 10,000 persons.

“Shatil from the New Israel Fund took part in coordinating and synchronizing the various parties that participated in the show of force,” it continued.

Shatil is the operations arm of the New Israel Fund in Israel. According to Shatil’s website, “We support organizations and activists working to strengthen democratic society, offering cutting-edge capacity building, training, and guidance.”

Channel 14 described the admission email as “precedent-setting,” as the New Israel Fund generally keeps a low profile and “works behind the scenes.”

The New Israel Fund also took responsibility for helping the group that organized “the demonstration in front of the Knesset on the day the new government was sworn in and also for holding the LGBT demonstration that took place on that very day.”

The organization also announced an emergency grant to the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) to conduct a digital campaign including the production of short films to explain the meaning of the policies the new Netanyahu-led government intends to institute.

PLO flags and Nazi symbols were seen among the protesters.


Bravo Smotrich: Illegal Arab Villa in Area C Coming Down

 

It appears that Finance Minister and Adjunct Minister in the Defense Ministry in charge of the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria Bezalel Smotrich has hit the ground running in the new government’s first full week in office. Smotrich and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday evening (7:30 PM), will hold a press conference to present their plan for dealing with the rampant price increases. And under his other hat, Smotrich is bulldozing illegal Arab construction in Area C.

On December 12, 2022, on Hanukkah, a group calling itself Our Place IL posted the above picture, depicting an illegal villa that lit up the gloomy night. It was a magnificent sight, unless one considered the fact that this villa had been under a court-issued demolition order, and that it was being erected––practically finished––at the heart of a nature preserve.



Yiddish Makes a Comeback



 

Biden took secret documents for his book — doubling his hypocrisy

 

“How that could possibly happen, how anyone could be that irresponsible,” President Biden, struggling to find words to express his revulsion at the very idea of moving classified material to Mar-a-Lago in a “60 Minutes” interview.

“And I thought what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods.”

So how does Biden explain the roughly dozen documents found sitting in a closet at a private office supplied by the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement? For the moment, he is not saying anything at all. It is easy to understand why.

According to reports, the clearly marked classified documents include those at the highly classified “Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information” (TS/SCI) level. The documents reportedly include material related to Iran, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

Kevin McCarthy boots House panel for Lying Schiff, Spy Sleeper Swalwell and Vicious Omar

 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy confirmed late Monday that he will make good on his pre-midterm pledge to remove three high-profile Democrats — Reps. Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar — from their House committees.

McCarthy (R-Calif.) told the Associated Press that he would move to strip the trio of their assignments, following through on a vow of payback for Democrats ousting Reps. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from their panels during the last Congress.

Schiff and Swalwell, both from California, would be removed from the House Intelligence Committee while Minnesota’s Omar would be kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

McCarthy vowed almost exactly a year ago that he would remove the three Democrats if Republicans won back the House in the 2022 midterm elections and repeated that promise last November after his prediction was realized.

“The Democrats have created a new thing where they’re picking and choosing who could be on committee,” McCarthy said last January. “Never in the history [of Congress] have you had the majority tell the minority who could be on committee, but this new standard, which these Democrats have voted for — if Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the private sector, there’s no reason why he should be given one to be on Intel or Homeland Security.”

McCarthy has said he fears that Swalwell may be compromised after reports emerged in 2020 that a suspected Chinese spy infiltrated his campaign and got close to the congressman.

“Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the public sector. Why would we ever give him a security clearance in the secrets to America? So, I will not allow him to be on Intel,” McCarthy told Fox News in November. “You have Adam Schiff, who had lied to the American public time and again. We will not allow him to be on the Intel Committee either.”

Schiff drew Republicans’ ire after he headed up the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump and was a member of the House select committee that examined Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. 

McCarthy has said he would boot Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad” along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), from the Foreign Affairs Committee because of her anti-Semitic remarks

“I promised you last year that as speaker she will no longer be on Foreign Affairs, and I’m keeping that promise,” he told a crowd at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s 2022 leadership meeting last November. 

Charlie Hebdo doubles down on Khamenei cartoons

 

French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo doubled down on its ridicule of Iran's religious rulers on Tuesday, with fresh cartoons of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei despite protests from Iran and its allies, AFP reported.

"The mullahs aren't happy. The caricatures of their supreme leader... do not seem to have made them laugh," the paper's editor, known as "Riss", writes in the latest edition, which officially hits newsstands on Wednesday.

"Laughing at themselves has never been a strong point of tyrants," he added.

The newspaper was criticized last week after it published caricatures of Khamenei, in support of the months-long protests in Iran, sparked by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, following her arrest for allegedly violating the country's strict dress code.

Iran blasted France over the "insulting and indecent" cartoons, which appeared in a special edition to mark the anniversary of the deadly 2015 attack on the magazine's Paris offices.

Iran later shut down the Tehran-based French research institute in an act of protest against the cartoons.

The paper was also hit by a cyber attack after publishing cartoons of Khamenei in last week's special edition, which marked the anniversary of the 2015 attack on its Paris offices that left 12 dead.

On Sunday, dozens of Iranians gathered outside the French embassy in Tehran to protest against the cartoons.

The protesters set fire to French flags and chanted, "France, be ashamed!".

American rabbis boycotting Israeli ministers are from extremist left-wing groups

 

Morton Klein

During the holiday of Chanukkah, a little over 300 far-left American Jewish clergy who refuse to accept Israeli democracy trampled on the meaning of the holiday by signing a “call to action” pledging to banboycott and protest against the members and democratically-elected officials of Israel’s Religious Zionist parties.

The “call to action” signers also pledged to prevent Religious Zionists from speaking at or participating in events at their congregations and organizations, and to encourage others to also ban the democratically elected members of the Religious Zionists Party.

The “call to action” misstates Religious Zionist parties’ positions, in a misleading effort to portray Religious Zionists as extremists. For instance, the “call to action” falsely states that the Religious Zionist parties support “expelling Arab Israeli citizens who are seen as opposing the government, challenging the democratic Right to freedom of speech.” In fact, Religious Zionists merely supported expelling convicted murderer terrorists!

Murdering Jews is not “freedom of speech.”

Beit Shemesh Rabbanim Warn the residents against riding the Buses Without Paying

 

*Beit Shemesh News*
Guys, you get this?
For whom did the rabbanim of Beit Shemesh issue this psak?
Think about this for a moment!

Is this psak directed at the Arabs?

The Arabs by in large do not live in Beit Shemesh and Arab workers have their own transportation. And as a rule, Arabs do not read the Kol Koras of the gedoilim. 

Is this directed at the children and students that ride the buses to school?
Students taking public transportation pay "bubkis" to travel and are issued RavKavs!

The elderly that are 60 and over, pay half fare, so in Beit Shemesh a one-way trip anywhere locally would be about 4.50 shekels that on today's conversion rate, would be $1.30.  Anyone over 75 pays zero!

The Dati Leumi guys have cars and those that do take transportation, hardly use the "inter-city" buses, they use the buses going out of Beit Shemesh to other cities and there the buses have inspectors all the time.
No one reading this post really thinks that a "Dati-Leumi" is riding for free, not even the gedoilim that signed the Kol Korah, and the Dati-Leumi crowd wouldn't be found dead reading these Kol Koras! 

So again, to whom was this Kol Korah addressed to?
                                                                                
It was addressed to Shomrei Torah Umitzvois, who put on Rabbeinu Taam Tefillin and eat only from the Eida Hachreidis.... use the "mehadrin" eirav, who would not drink even a glass of water that has the Rabbanut Hashgacha, and would never eat "heter mechira" G-d forbid 
..... so, there you have it!

Yup, these are the guys that are stealing money multiple times a day! 


The Gedoilim of the city of Beit Shemesh wrote the following in a halachic ruling:  

"Warning against Not Paying the fare on public transportation"

A special halachic ruling from the  gedoilim and dayanim of Beit Shemesh warn the city's residents that not paying the fare on public transportation is theft! 
'Even though they made recent changes to public transportation, the ruling remains in effect. Know that there is a prohibition against stealing while traveling without payment,'
