I watched the viral clip of Barack Obama taking a frozen Joe Biden by the arm and leading him off stage at their star-studded $30 million LA fundraiser, and posted on X what I suspect everyone who watched it was thinking: “So embarrassing. The Democrats can’t let this go on, surely?”
Within a few hours, a staggering 7.5 million people had viewed my post and many thousands of those had liked, reposted or commented on it.
As I thought, the vast majority shared my honestly held opinion that President Biden is no longer fit for the highest office in America.
I don’t mean that he’s too incompetent for the job, although many would say he is.
No, I mean that he’s too physically and mentally unfit to function at the extremely high level required to be leader of not just the United States, but also the free world.
When the last Democrat to occupy the White House has to literally grab the current one because he notices he’s had yet another “senior moment” and appears to be paralyzed like a statue on stage, it has to be the wake-up call everyone in the party must urgently heed before it’s too late, doesn’t it?
We’re only five months away from the 2024 general election, but what is now painfully obvious is that Joe Biden’s already cooked as a candidate.
There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that he can possibly get through another four-year term of presidency — and everyone knows it.
This is a once very eloquent, fast-talking, firebrand senator.
Abdallah Aljamal — killed by Israeli Defense Forces during the raid to free the hostages from his home in Nuseirat — was a regular correspondent for The Palestine Chronicle, an Olympia, Washington state-based news outlet established in 1999, with sister publications in France and Italy.
Aljamal’s articles for the website lamenting the evils of war continued until just before the June 8 raid — many seemingly written while Jewish hostages taken by Hamas in their Oct. 7th terror attack were captive at his house.
The National Jewish Advocacy Center, a non-profit based in Atlanta, is now demanding the Department of Justice and FBI investigate The Palestine Chronicle.
The Advocacy Center also said Aljamal had worked as a spokesman for Hamas in Gaza’s Ministry of Labor.
I find it interesting that if you really read the Chareidie View of the State of Israel, you will find it eerily similar to the Leftist view. Both are against the government, both are prepared to give back land to Arab control and finally, both are against serving in the army!
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant canceled a lecture by former Prime Minister and Chief of Staff Ehud Barak, which was expected to take place soon at the National Security College.
Sources close to Gallant stated, "Anyone who calls for refusal of any kind will not be part of the IDF in any way."
Barak had been invited to speak before senior IDF officers. The planned appearance drew significant controversy in Israel's political circles and on social media.
Minister Amichai Chikli responded: "In the midst of a grueling war, the IDF invited the leader of the inciters to political refusal, Mr. Ehud Barak, to lecture before senior officers. This is an unprecedented disgrace."
Political correspondent Tal Shalev responded to the cancellation: "Ehud Barak is a former Prime Minister, a former Chief of Staff, among the most decorated soldiers in the IDF, and also the man who appointed Gallant as Chief of Staff, but Gallant is afraid of Channel 14 and this is the result."
Channel 14 reporter Yishai Friedman responded to her: "Afraid of Channel 14? Or maybe he understands that there are officers in the IDF who are fed up with people who were a central part of Jewish civil wars?"
Jewish-owned business targeted by hateful vandalism. Miami mayor @FrancisSuarez and federal judge Roy Altman show up to help clean it up. Story on @nbc6 starting at noon. pic.twitter.com/ybgWz1tGJb

A Jewish-owned bagel shop in Miami was defaced over the weekend with anti-Israel graffiti.
According to NBC6South Florida, Holy Bagels on Northwest 1st Street was spray painted with the words "Free Palestine" and "Stop Genocide." In addition, the suspect, who was caught on surveillance camera tore down a "Stand with Israel" banner that was displayed in front of the store.
Josh Nodel, the owner of the shop, told the local station that he was devastated by the attack. "We've been targeted because of hate because they know we are Jewish, we are supporters of Israel," he added.
In the face of the hateful act, the Nodel received some strong support from none other than Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and Federal Judge Roy Altman, who came to help clean up the vandalism.
"My grandparents went through the 1940s in Europe, and this is how it started, spray painting Jewish businesses, we will not allow antisemites to silence us here, to convince us that the West is broken or bad," Judge Altman told NBC6.
"I think this is meant to scare people, to try to give the impression that we don’t control our city, that our city can be overrun by acts of illegality and hate and that’s not acceptable to us," Mayor Suarez added.
The Israeli military knew about Hamas' plans to attack southern Israel weeks before October 7 — even how many hostages the militant group planned to capture, according to a report from Israeli public broadcaster Kan.
The Israel Defense Force's Gaza Division reportedly distributed an internal intelligence document on September 19, 2023, outlining the details of Hamas' planned raid, according to Kan.
The document, which Kan reportedly saw, states that the IDF had observed Hamas conducting a series of trainings where militant fighters practiced attacking both Israeli military stations and civilian kibbutzim communities.
The IDF also knew, according to the document viewed by Kan, that Hamas trained its units on how to capture hostages and how to guard them once they were taken back to the Gaza Strip.
The IDF's Southern Command and Gaza Division also wrote in the document, according to Kan, that they expected Hamas to take between 200 and 250 hostages. The officials even had intel on how Hamas intended to treat the hostages in certain extreme circumstances and what rules Hamas set for executing hostages, Kan reported.
Israel mistakenly believed, the Times of Israel reported, that Hamas would never be able to get past its high-tech border security — an "Iron Wall" composed of concrete, tunnels, and razor wire, complete with remote-controlled machine guns, that was installed two years before the attack.
That oversight prevented top Israeli intelligence leaders from doing anything about the internal report detailing Hamas' plans, Kan News reported.
And it wasn't just a few weeks before October 7 that Israel reportedly knew about Hamas' plans.
More than a year before the attack, Israel had a 40-page document detailing, play-by-play, exactly how Hamas would attack the southern border, The New York Times reported last year. But, Israel never took Hamas' plans seriously, assuming the militant group would never get past Israel's defenses, the Times reported.
Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people and taking hundreds hostage, many of whom are still being held in captivity.
The exact number of hostages Hamas took is unclear, but Israel has estimated it was around 240, with about 116 still in Gaza, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Israel's subsequent airstrikes and war against Hamas in Gaza have killed more than 37,000 Palestinians, many of whom are women and children, according to Palestinian health authorities.
According to the book, Bush writes about developing her abilities through “applying God’s Word to her life” and understanding the power within her. She recounts two remarkable – and ridiculous – stories of healing: one of a three-year-old girl who took her first steps after Bush prayed over her, and another of a woman whose tumors disappeared after Bush laid hands on her and prayed.
Bush’s has long been affiliated with a “faith-healing church” in Missouri that has been mocked, particularly after the church’s lead pastor claimed to have cured Bush of coronavirus through faith healing over the phone in 2021.
As a member of the embattled “Squad,” Bush is currently facing a tough primary challenge from Wesley Bell, the prosecuting attorney of St. Louis, with polls indicating she trails by a double-digit margin.
While Bush’s book received a significant media push upon its release, it appears few have read it, and her claims of miraculous healings have sparked more mockery than acclaim.
The antisemitic country of Maldives has been forced to “rethink” its ban on Israelis. The country’s ban on Israeli tourists is unlikely to be a “blanket ban” on all Israeli citizens, according to Attorney General Ahmed Usham.
In an embarrassing move, the government has decided to amend the initial ban, due to concerns over Arab Muslim or Palestinian citizens of Israel, who were included in the initial ban. “There are a lot of Palestinian citizens who hold the Israeli passport, counting in the millions. So what would happen if we do a blanket ban like that, these are matters we should think about a little,” the Attorney General said.
Usham walked back the ban in a press conference last week, due to the millions of Palestinians with Israeli passports.
Pressed by journalists, Usham denied that the government has reversed its stance. But the Maldives could face legal “complications” if the bill is passed in its current form to prohibit entry to Israelis with dual citizenship or diplomatic passports, he said.
The proposed ban appears to reflect the will of the Maldivian people, an ostensibly 100 percent Sunni Muslim population that has long sympathized with the plight of Palestinian refugees. The government’s decision came after months of fundraising efforts and demonstrations calling for a ban on Israeli tourists.
It is heavily ironic that it is due to Israel’s overwhelming Democratic inclusivity, and its generous treatment of Arabs and even its enemies, which has resulted in millions of Arabs holding Israeli passports.
“What are they trying to hide? If there was no treason, why are they so afraid for external and independent parties to check what happened?” the premier’s son wrote on X.
State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman’s investigation has been controversial ever since he announced it in December 2023. Good governance watchdog groups petitioned the court against the comptroller’s initiative, arguing that it was not in his purview and would harm the IDF’s operational capabilities.
Groups also expressed concern that the investigation would ignore political responsibility for the devastating invasion and massacres. The IDF and the State Attorney’s Office also opposed the investigation.
In his post, the younger Netanyahu said: “To this day, no answer has been given for why they didn’t update the prime minister about the discussion held the night before 10/7.”
The majority of the Jewish people now live in the Zionist State of Israel!
The Israeli Flag not only represents the only Jewish State in the entire world but, like it or not, represents Judaism... that is an undeniable fact!
As I said many times there isn't a Non-Jew in the entire world that would able to identify a flag from a country he doesn't live in or is familiar with, but show him the Israeli Flag and he will immediately tell you that this is the Jewish flag. You can talk yourself blue in the face trying to convince the Goy that the flag doesn't represent you, and the Goy will look at you and think you are a baldfaced liar! You can lecture him and explain that there are Jews who are not Zionists and oppose the State; you might as well try to explain to him on a sunny day, that it is night; you will have a better chance to convince him of that.
Did I mention that we are at war now? Did I mention that the majority of the Jewish people living in Israel have no other home? That they only have one passport, the Israeli one? I am not talking about hundreds, or even thousands, I am talking about millions of Israelis, whose only home is the Zionist State of Israel!
Jewish husbands and children are dying to defend the State right now, leaving widows and orphans. Thousands have severe injuries that will impair them for the rest of their lives!
Comes this Lakewood chassidishe well-fed "mamzer ben niddah" and rips off the Jewish Flag on a street where only Jews live and is offended by it! G-d forbid he should look out the window and see a flag that represents him and his family. He is afraid that his children will see the flag! Mind you, it's not in front of his home, or on an another home, it's on a car that will be moved.
But even if it was on a home across the street, he is in galuth, and he doesn't own the street!
Readers, Am I missing something? Are we living in an alternate universe? Is this the chinuch that Yeshivois are embedding in their students? Look at his utter contempt and hate for a symbol, whether he likes it or not, represents the Jewish people! I have seen this very hate on pro-Hamas supporters while ripping down the Israeli flag!
We are all alone עם לבדד יכון .... is it much to expect a frum Jew dressed visibly as a frum Jew to have some compassion for his brothers and sisters who reside in the crossfire of Iran who swore to wipe Israel off the map?
Just like the flag represents the Jews, this vile creature represents chassidim! All chassidim!!
I have been sitting on this story for four weeks just to see if there would be any outrage! I waited to see if the Lakewood community would say one word against this piece of "tinuf!" It was first posted in the last week of April and garnished over 35,000 views!
Not one word!! I am sure this mamzer, is well respected in his neighborhood and shul. I am also sure that many Fakewooders saw this video as it circulated in the chassidishe and frum social media, and probably laughed it off.
And herein lies the problem. I am screaming and yelling on this blog, that frum people are totally disconnected from what is going on in Israel and in the world, and I'm including Torah leaders!
Read any book about the Holocaust, pick any book, and you will see that Jews had this same disconnect in Europe as Jews were being shot to death and gassed!
When I say, pick "any book" I am not talking about Artscroll Holocaust Books, they are totally divorced from what actually happened. Those Artscroll talk about individuals not about the general situation that was happening all around them.
This week is actually the 80th anniversary of the death of Hungarian Jews, who were deported on the first day of Shevuois to Tammuz. Hundreds of thousands of Jews were murdered. Many of their leaders were in total denial as Hitler ym"s was moving close to Hungary, Romania and Czechoslovakia, many of these leaders, who themselves escaped, told them not to flee as Hitler ym"s would never get to Hungary! Of course, we cannot blame them as who would possibly know the enormous tragedy in advance.
But we know now; we are on social media, and those who aren't, know from their local Torah Newspapers.
We are in big trouble. Guys like the guy in the video is NOT bringing us closer to the Geulah!
Below is a Video where Hashem Burns the Guy that Burned the Israeli Flag!
