Hamas Savages Welcome Crazy Joe's Ceasefire Deal for Gaza

 


Hamas has welcomed Crazy Joe Biden's newly announced proposal for a ceasefire in Israel's ongoing war with the Palestinian movement in the Gaza Strip.

The proposal, unveiled by Crzy Joe in remarks delivered Friday at the White House, was composed of three phases. The first phase would entail a six-week ceasefire, along with an Israeli withdrawal from populated areas of Gaza, the exchange of surviving Hamas-held hostage for hundreds of Palestinians held prisoner, the return of Palestinian civilians to the war-torn territory and the entrance of up to 600 aid trucks.

If realized, the cessation of hostilities would continue through second phase, during which Israel and Hamas would negotiate a permanent ceasefire. Finally, a plan for Gaza's reconstruction would be established and the bodies of the dead returned.

"It's time for this war to end and for the day after begin," Crazy Joe said.

DA Alvin Bragg committed ‘political malpractice’ by taking NY Trump case, Mitt Romney says

 

Sen. Mitt Romney on Saturday accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of committing “political malpractice” by pursuing criminal charges against ex-President Donald Trump .

“Bragg should have settled the case against Trump, as would have been the normal procedure. But he made a political decision,” the Utah Republican and staunch Trump critic told his biographer, Atlantic writer McKay Coppins.

“Bragg may have won the battle, for now, but he may have lost the political war,” he added. “Democrats think they can put out the Trump fire with oxygen. It’s political malpractice.”

Last month, Romney voiced bewilderment at why President Biden didn’t pardon his predecessor as soon as the federal indictments came down, saying “he should have fought like crazy” to keep them from moving forward.

“Had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought on indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him,” Romney told MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle.”

“Because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person [who] pardoned a little guy.”

Romney, 77, who is set to retire at the end of his term next January, backed both impeachments against Trump in 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Bragg’s office did not immediately return messages.


Harold Tischler in a huge Pickle for offering to buy FDNY inspector ‘best pastrami sandwich’

A notorious political firebrand running for City Council in Brooklyn is being probed by the city after being caught on video offering to treat an FDNY inspector to “the best-corned beef and pastrami sandwiches on the planet.”

Harold “Heshy” Tischler tendered the tasty proposal on April 17 after the FDNY inspector arrived at 960 East Third Street in Midwood to investigate complaints of alleged misuse of a propane tank.

The exchange was caught in a nearly three-minute video filmed by Hershey Goldberger, whose family owns the home and is currently embroiled in a bitter, property-line dispute with their next-door neighbors, the Onefater family, over alleged illegal construction.

Tischler — who runs a nearby Foster Avenue business specializing in helping construction contractors score city permits and beat fines — is helping the Onefaters in their property fight.

Goldberger turned the video over to the city Department of Investigation and asked it to determine whether Tischler’s nosh proffer to Fire Safety Inspector Mateo Galloza constituted a bribe.

The DOI requested additional information from Goldberger, according to an email chain examined by The Post.

Tischler, a self-described “expediter” for Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish community, said he is helping the Onefaters for free.

Remains of Jewish-American soldier missing for 70 years recovered from mass grave where he was buried with Nazis

A Jewish-American World War II hero who stormed Utah beach on D-Day and went missing after being ambushed in the Battle of Cherbourg has finally been found — in a German mass grave where he was buried with Nazis.

Now, eight decades after his death on June 23, 1944, Lt. Nathan Baskind will finally receive a proper burial.

Baskind, the son of Lithuanian and Russian immigrants who settled in Pittsburgh and owned a wallpaper business, was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942 at the age of 26, according to Raugh Jewish Archives.

“He came from a successful family, he could have gotten out of [the war] if he wanted to,” said Shalom Lamm, co-founder of Operation Benjamin, a non-profit that identifies Jewish U.S. war veterans buried under mistaken religious designations at American military cemeteries.

Baskind commanded four M-10 tank destroyers — modified Sherman tanks— in the US Army’s 899th Tank Destroyer battalion during the bloody D-Day invasion.

After taking the beachhead, Allied forces set their sights on the port city of Cherbourg, France.

As US troops engaged in fierce battles with Nazi soldiers, who were ordered by Adolf Hitler to hold the city at all costs, Baskind went behind enemy lines accompanied only by his driver on a reconnaissance mission.

They were ambushed.

The Pollacks who cried poverty refused to pay mortgage for years shell out $700K for Florida house:

 

A pair of allegedly racist squatters who went years without paying their mortgage — then cried poverty and refused to leave their Long Island home when it was auctioned off — paid $700,000 cash for a new Florida abode, records reveal.

Barry and Barbara Pollack, both 72, plunked down the cash for a two-bedroom, two-bath spread in an over-55 community in Boynton Beach in January, property records show.

The 1,782-square-foot home includes a two-car garage, walk-in closets, new porcelain tile floors and a new washer dryer, according to the listing on Zillow.

The purchase was revealed in a new lawsuit filed against the couple by the family who battled for nearly two years to get them out of a Nassau County split-level.

The Chawlas say they spent more than $200,000 on the mortgage, taxes, insurance and legal fees as they waited for the Pollacks to exit the 1,536-square-foot house Jericho, which was finally vacated in January, leaving behind a smelly mess.

They also shelled out for movers, repairs and garbage removal costs, they contend in the Nassau Supreme Court lawsuit.

“We feel he should be held accountable for his actions. He should not be able to go on without any repercussions,” said Bobby Chawla.

“It cost us a lot of money that we did not prepare for or anticipate to spend. Then to find out he bought a house cash, this was the ultimate scam. He stole from us. We hope to see justice for ourselves as well as a change to the justice system to help landlords who are trying to make a better life for themselves and their families.” 

“They were unable to get into the property all these years, and now they’re trying to seek compensation on what they lost trying to get these people out,” said Heath Berger, an attorney for the Chawlas.

Barry Pollack was once caught on video telling Bobby Chawla, whose parents are from India, to “go back to Pakistan.”

The Pollacks bought their New York house in September 1990 for $255,000, but 16 years later fell into financial trouble, and wound up fighting in three different courts for 17 years to stay.

The home ended up in a bank auction after the couple was sued for foreclosure in 2008 and dragged the case out for 11 years, records show, with one lawyer describing them as “shrewd and devious” litigants.

They then allegedly filed “skeleton” and “frivolous” bankruptcies, which automatically pause any eviction proceeding, records showed, and were barred from filing any further in bankruptcy court.

Barry Pollack declined to comment on the new lawsuit.

Dem wants Gov. Hochul to pardon Trump ‘for the good of the country’


 A Democratic congressman has publicly called on Gov. Hochul to pardon former President Donald Trump after he was found guilty this week of falsifying business records — for the sake of the nation.

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) said a Trump conviction only helps his campaign.

“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim. @GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country,” Phillips declared in a X post Friday.

“You think pardoning is stupid? Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn star is stupid. (Election charges are entirely different.) It’s energizing his base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an electoral boost,” Phillips warned.

Phillips, a three term gadfly, earned national attention this year after launching a primary challenge against President Biden for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination.

A businessman before entering government, Phillips dropped at least $5 million of his own cash on the long-shot effort, which he abandoned in March.

He endorsed Biden after garnering no meaningful support in the primaries.

A person close to Hochul said a pardon was “unlikely.” 

“I cannot image a world where she would consider doing this, this makes no sense,” said the insider.

International Criminal Court runs wild, threatening Israel and anyone who criticizes the Court

 

by Douglas Murray

Back in April, I revealed here that the so-called International Criminal Court was aiming to prosecute an American ally. 

Sure enough, last month the absurd international body announced that it was prosecuting Benjamin Netanyahu, the democratically elected prime minister of Israel.

It was an obscene overreach by the court.  

The court has carried out no investigation and gathered no evidence. 

It has announced that it is seeking the arrest of Netanyahu because of things it thinks he might have done.

Back then, I said the “court” would come to regret it.  

America is not a signatory to the body. Thank goodness. 

And neither is Israel. 

Some more foolish allies — particularly in Europe — are. Some Democrats would love for America to join the court.  

But as the court´s opponents have always warned, the court is a corrupt and sectarian political organization that will in time come for Americans. 

Anyone who wants a Belgian or Congolese judge standing as judge and jury over American soldiers and politicians should love the institution.

Fortunately, the ICC´s recent overreach got a stern response from 12 US senators. 

They said they saw the warrant for the arrest of the Israeli leadership as “not only a threat to Israel´s sovereignty but to the sovereignty of the United States.” 

The senators’ letter went on, “The United States will not tolerate politicized attacks by the ICC on our allies. Target Israel and we will target you.”  

The letter spelled out that “targeting” would include ending all American support for the ICC plus the sanctioning and barring of ICC officials, employees, associates and their families from the United States.

Seems fair enough. 

And to anyone who doubts that the ICC is politicized, you might note that just last week, the court´s former chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, praised the ICC warrants against Israel. 

He also described the leadership of Hamas — including those who organized the October 7 massacres — as “victims.” Charming.

This week, the court answered the US senators and the response is breathtaking.  

The prosecutor´s office replied to the senators in part,

“When individuals threaten to retaliate against the Court or Court personnel … such threats, even when not acted upon, may also constitute an offense against the administration of justice under Art. 70 of the Rome Statute.”

That’s what they call some cojones. 

The ICC is not just threatening US senators. It is saying they are already criminals in the eyes of the ICC prosecutor. Making the ICC effectively impossible to criticize. 

An almost divine institution. 

Criticize the ICC and you become a war criminal-in-waiting too, apparently.

Well, the puffed-up prosecutor might note several things. 

Not least that the USA is not a signatory to the Rome Statute.
