Convicted Criminal Aryeh Deri Announces that Former Failed Mayor of Beit Shemesh, Moshe Abutbul, Will Run Against Aliza Bloch



 Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri announced Sunday evening to members of his party that Deputy Minister of Agriculture and former failed Mayor of Beit Shemesh, Moshe Abutbul, will be the party's candidate for mayor of Beit Shemesh, after serving in the position for ten years and losing five years ago to incumbent Mayor Aliza Bloch.

Abutbul will also compete for the position against Degel HaTorah candidate Shmuel Greenberg.

The Shas statement said:

 "During the faction meeting held today in the presence of the movement's ministers and MKs, Shas announced that after the blessing and support of the Council of Torah Sages and all the rabbis of the communities in Beit Shemesh, Deputy Minister Moshe Abutbul will be the candidate for mayor of Beit Shemesh."

The party explained: "Abutbul is the most authentic and experienced Haredi representative of the city of Beit Shemesh, who served for a decade as a successful mayor who signed the huge construction boom in the city and the flourishing of Torah institutions, and enjoys wide sympathy from all circles and communities in the city.".

The decision to run Abutbul for the position is because of the hate that  Shas has with Degel; Deri Wants to split the Beit Shemesh vote between the Chareidie candidates, Shmuel Greenberg and Abutbul, to ensure Greenberg's loss; this move will only enhance Aliza Bloch's election as Mayor. Deri, of course doesn't care about Beit Shemesh, or Aliza Bloch, he just wants Degel to lose.

Happy New Year, guys !

Nancy Pelosi Decides To Run for Re-Election, in the Washington DC Nursing Home


DIN:
We have a demented President who is 80 and will be 87 at the end of his term if reelected, we have Dianne Feinstein who is 90, Republican Mitch McConnell who is 81, then we have someone who escaped from an asylum, John Fetterman Senator from Pennsylvania. 

 Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), 83, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives for more than 35 years, announced on Friday she will run for reelection in California’s Eleventh Congressional District.

Pelosi made the announcement in a midday post on X, contending that San Francisco’s values need to be advanced.

“Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery,” Pelosi tweeted. “Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.”

The Beginning of the End of the USA: California Passes Bill to Take Custody Away From Parents if They Don’t ‘Affirm’ Gender


 The California legislature approved a bill this week that would punish parents who do not “affirm” their child’s gender identity.

Assembly Bill 957, known as the Transgender, Gender-Diverse, and Intersex Youth Empowerment Act, passed the California Assembly by a party-line 57-16 vote Friday. 

The state senate passed the bill on Wednesday by a 30-9 vote. 

The bill would “include a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”If Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signs the bill, it would require custody judges to consider a parent’s “affirmation” of their child’s gender, as judges consider the “health, safety, and welfare of the child” when making decisions.

DIN: Typical Biden, nominates an Israel Hater to be ambassador to Israel!

President Joe Biden has nominated former Treasury secretary Jacob Lew to serve as the next U.S. ambassador to Israel, the White House announced Tuesday.

Lew, who served as White House chief of staff and director of the Office of Management and Budget during the Obama administration, would succeed Ambassador Tom Nides.,who left the post in July. Lew also served as OMB director during the Clinton administration.

He also currently serves as chairman of the board of the National Committee on United States-China Relations, co-president of the board of the National Library of Israel USA and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Turx Mocks Biden in Tweet .... Spot On!

 

Columnist Jake Turx has posted a tweet mocking President Biden’s economic, border, and crime policies.

Turx, the renowned White House correspondent and political satirist for Ami Magazine, was responding to a tweet from the president (or whoever writes his tweets), bragging about the fact that he was canceling “all remaining oil and gas leases issued under the last administration in the Arctic Refuge.

In response, Turx wrote:

“Thinks canceling drilling will lower gas prices

Thinks printing more money will curb inflation

Thinks removing border walls will make us more secure

Thinks bailing out criminals will reduce crime

Thinks persecuting political rivals will heal the soul of this nation

Sounds like Bidenomics”

Taking on Rabbi Efram Goldberg's Parenting Advice

by Yaakov of VIN

If my child were attending camp hundreds of miles away, and he called and asked me to pick him up…I would be out the door before pressing “End”.

And I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Several weeks ago, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg wrote an article in Mishpacha about what he called “well-meaning parents” who “swoop in and rescue” their kids, rather than teaching them responsibility.

Rabbi Goldberg wrote: “Earlier this summer, after receiving a call from his daughter in tears complaining about mean counselors and other issues, a concerned Jewish father in the UK flew 360 miles by helicopter to pick her up and bring her home. But he isn’t the only one guilty of helicopter parenting. More and more, loving parents who mean well and are eager to help, protect, and support their children are swooping in to rescue them, rather than teaching them responsibility.”

We do not know the circumstances and context of that specific anecdote. Perhaps the girl was being abused and bullied? Maybe she was suffering panic attacks and needed professional attention? It is impossible to judge the father without knowing the facts.

That said, whatever the scenario, including ‘mere’ homesickness, I have no issue with a father who rescues a child in despair. He is doing what any loving parent would. If your child is suffering, and they ask you for help, you help. Period.

Anti-cop DemonRat left bloodied in violent carjacking — now calls for tougher crime laws

 

A Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party official who once vowed to “dismantle” the Minneapolis Police Department is now calling for tougher crime laws after she was beaten and bloodied in a carjacking outside her home this week.

Shivanthi Sathanandan, the second vice chairwoman for the DFL, shared news of her attack in a Wednesday Facebook post, where she fumed that the four young suspects need to be brought to justice.

“I have a broken leg, deep lacerations on my head, bruising, and cuts all over my body. And I have rage,” wrote Sathanandan, who said the beating occurred in front of her 4-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday.

Veteran of Six Day War attacked by Charedim in Me'ah Shearim

 

Six Day War veteran Yosef Hagoel was accosted by Charedim in the Me'ah Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem after he arrived at the scene with a camera crew.

Hagoel, along with a group of younger soldiers and a camera crew from Channel 13 News, visited the neighborhood to recount the moments when he was wounded in action during the battle for Me'ah Shearim.

As he told the younger soldiers his story, several Charedi youths began shouting at them. ''This is a Charedi neighborhood, please leave! Get out of here, nobody wants you here. Nazis, get out of here! Zionist terrorists!" and many similar epithets.

Hagoel answered those shouting: "My blood is here, in the ground. You get out of here!"

He explained to the soldiers who were with him: "I was wounded twice, in two locations.'' At the second location, he recalled: ''I was lying here. Medic Shlomo Epstein was treating me. A shell fell a meter and a half from us. When they came to rescue me, I said, 'There is someone else here,' so they told me, 'There is no one, only you.' He was killed on the spot. It was impossible to recognize him at all."

Man Shouting “Allah Akbar” Tries Opening Plane Door On Flight From Israel but "Authorities have yet to determine a motive"

 



According to Troboloni, who spoke with The Sun, the situation was “very scary,” with thoughts racing through his mind that he might never see his mother again.

Once the attacker tried to open a door in the middle of the flight, passengers immediately responded. Troboloni took charge and wrestled the unidentified assailant to the ground, where other travelers joined in to assist. Flight crew members promptly secured the individual using zip ties to prevent further disruptions.

Wizz Air issued a statement regarding the incident: “The company is dealing with the onward flight of all customers to London. The safety and security of passengers and crew are the company’s top priority. The company regrets the inconvenience caused by this unexpected incident.”

Cellphone footage obtained by The Sun captured the intense moments following the security breach. In the video, the attacker could be seen yelling while Troboloni held him in a headlock. Troboloni later explained that the assailant had attempted to open a fire exit, a relatively straightforward task, prompting him to take swift action.

“I got the guy down. He was very heavyweight… I headlocked him, and the stewardesses tied his hands with plastic cable ties… I had to do it,” Troboloni recounted.

Troboloni, with the help of fellow passengers, maintained control over the assailant until a flight attendant could locate cable ties to further restrain him. The ordeal lasted for approximately 45 minutes to an hour before the plane safely landed in Belgrade, Eastern Europe.

During the incident, the assailant repeatedly shouted “Allahu Akbar,” the Arabic phrase for “God is most great.” Authorities have yet to determine a motive for the attack or establish any connections to terrorist groups.

Before attempting to open the door, the suspect was observed moving between the pilot’s cabin and the rear emergency exit, raising concerns among passengers. A plane engineer who was onboard noted the suspect’s unusual behavior and emphasized the gravity of the situation: “It was a very scary situation… you’ve got no escape.”
