Scary Stuff!!!! ... Dem-majority FCC helping George Soros fast-track takeover of nationwide radio network

 

Left-leaning billionaire George Soros is trying to recruit the Democrat-controlled Federal Communications Commission to help fast track his takeover of the nation’s second-biggest radio network.

Soros, 93, pumped $400 million into Audacy in February, a network which reaches 165 million monthly listeners and includes a handful of conservative shows from hosts including Sean Hannity, Dana Loesch, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and Erick Erickson.

But their influence is likely to be muted if the billionaire takes over and imposes his agenda, as has happened with other media acquisitions.  

However, to take control Soros Fund Management needs help from the FCC as the money funneled into buying the bankrupt network comes from abroad.

Under existing FCC rules, foreign company ownership of US radio stations is not allowed to exceed 25% — but a filing acquired by The Post details Soros’ asking the commission to make an exception.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr is raising an alarm that was first set off by Texas Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas) in April.

“The FCC should not create a special Soros shortcut,” Carr told The Post this week.

“When it comes to a broadcast station acquisition of this size and magnitude – hundreds of radio stations across more than 45 markets – the FCC needs to run its full and normal review process. 

“The FCC should not be skipping steps or waiving required agency processes.”

Gerer Rebbe Insists on being "Menachem Ovel " Only One Son of the Pnei Menachem



 
The Pnei Menachem had 4 Sons and one daughter. The Widow and mother of the sons was nifteres last week. 

Problem: One of the Sons is none other than Harav Shaul alter Shlitah, the Rosh Yeshiva of Sfas Emes. The Gerer fired him because he felt threatened by him as Harav Shaul Alter is a huge Tamid Chachim and has a huge following. 

When he fired him, thousands of Gerer Chassidim left Ger to follow their Rosh Yeshiva. The Gerer Rebbe went Ape-Sh_T , and threw out all of Rav Shaul's followers from his moidois.

No Problem. Rav Shaul's followers opened up new Shuls all over the world and new Moisdois! 

But then the Peni Menachim's wife died, he was the previous Gerer Rebbe and the uncle of the present Gerer Rebbe. 

What to do?? 

If he didn't go to be "menachem ovel" that would look very petty and would be the talk of town! 

So some genius came up with a solution, the rebbe would be menacheim avol only one son!

Just that you guys know all Rav Shaul's siblings back Rav Shaul 100% and all the gedoilim came to be menachim ovel Rav Shaul!

This fight that the Gerer Rebbe started when he fired his Rosh Yeshiva was all "le'shem shmayim!"

This is a prime example of Sinas Chinum amongst Chareidim! 


Biden on a Roll to Overthrow Netanyahu Encouraging Anti-Government Protests in Israel to Cause Civil War!



US Envoy Amos Hochstein Says Talks Failed, Can’t Stop Hezbollah’s War with Israel

 

US special envoy Amos Hochstein announced Wednesday that his efforts to prevent an all-out war between Lebanon’s Iranian proxy, Hezbollah, and the State of Israel, have failed.

Hochstein, a top adviser to President Joe Biden, arrived in the region on Monday for talks in Israel and Lebanon.

The US envoy met first with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, President Isaac Herzog and other tops Israeli officials.

Hochstein then traveled to Beirut, where he met with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Hezbollah-linked Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, before returning to Jerusalem to convey the results of his efforts.

Israel has repeatedly warned that its military forces will push Hezbollah’s terrorist army back across the Litani River if diplomatic efforts fail to do so.

New Study Suggests Some Tefillin Boxes Were Not Colored Black 2,000 Years Ago

 


According to Jewish law, the tefillin boxes (Batim) should be colored black (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim, 32:40). However, a team of researchers from Israel and Great Britain has conducted a battery of scientific tests that showed that at least some ancient tefillin were not blackened. 

The research was led by Prof. Yonatan Adler, of Ariel University, together with Dr. Ilit Cohen-Ofri and Dr. Yonah Maor of the Israel Antiquities Authority, Dr. Theresa Emmerich Kamper of the University of Exeter, and Dr. Iddo Pinkas of the Weizmann Institute of Science.

The findings, published tonight in the prestigious journal PLOS ONE (Black surfaces on ancient leather tefillin cases and straps from the Judean Desert: Macroscopic, microscopic and spectroscopic analyses), challenge long-held assumptions about the practice of tefillin observance.

In 1949, archaeologists discovered several leather tefillin cases in a cave near Qumran, where the first Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Subsequently, additional tefillin cases were unearthed in other caves near Qumran, in Wadi Murabba‘at, and Nahal Se’elim—all in the Judean Desert. 

These findings are dated to the same time as the Dead Sea Scrolls, from around the end of the Second Temple period—or about 2,000 years ago. The arid desert climate helped these artifacts survive for millennia until their discovery. Today, the tefillin cases are preserved in the storeroom of the Israel Antiquities Authority’s Dead Sea Scrolls Unit in Jerusalem, where the climatic conditions of the caves are replicated.

A ship’s cargo from 3,300—3,400 years ago (14-13th centuries BCE), with hundreds of intact vessels, was found at the incredible depth of 1.8 kilometers on the Mediterranean Sea floor. 

The cargo was found during a standard survey executed by Energean, a leading E&P natural gas company operating the Karish, Karish North, Katlan, and Tanin offshore fields off Israel’s shore. 

Jewish 12 Year-old Girl, Gang Raped by French Teens ‘Horror has no limits’

 



Parisians came out on Wednesday to demand justice for a 12-year-old Jewish girl who was attacked and raped by three teens.

Three French boys were arrested in the gang rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in Paris in a sickening antisemitic attack, police said — prompting President Emmanuel Macron and other officials to demand schools crack down on racism and hate-fueled violence.

The victim, from Courbevoie, told police the boys raped her, made death threats and hurled antisemitic slurs at her during the assault on Saturday.

The girl was specifically targeted over her religion, the Nanterre public prosecution office said.

Chief Rabbi of France Haim Korsia said he was “horrified” over the attack and called on his nation to crack down on such despicable acts of antisemitism.

“Justice must firmly punish the perpetrators of this despicable act. No one can be excused from this unprecedented antisemitic surge,” Korsia wrote on X.

One of the suspects was allegedly the victim’s ex-boyfriend who planned revenge against her after she supposedly hid from him the fact that she was Jewish, according to the local Le Parisien newspaper.

Lawyer and Jewish leader Elie Korchia told French broadcaster BFM that the war in Gaza was referenced during the attack.

After the attack, the girl was warned not to go to the police and the main assailant demanded she pay them 200 euros, or $215, “otherwise something bad would happen to her and her family because he knows where she is,” Le Parisien reports.

The attackers — ages 12, 13 and 14 — were all arrested.

Two of the boys were charged with aggravated gang rape on a minor younger than 15, violence and public insult motivated by religion, death threats, attempted extortion and unlawfully recording or broadcasting sexual images.

The two teens accused of participating in the rape are being held in custody and the third boy was placed in a special education program for assisting in the vile act.

The horrific crime triggered protests outside Paris City Hall, with citizens frustrated over the rise of antisemitism in France since Oct. 7 and the start of the Israel-Hamas war.

Macron was quick to condemn the attack and called on Education Minister Nicole Belloubet “to organize a discussion in all schools on the fight against antisemitism and racism, to prevent hate speech with serious consequences from infiltrating schools.”

Belloubet echoed the outrage and said the nation would be united in its “response against barbarism.”

“Horror has no limits,” Belloubet said in a statement about the crime. “Rape, anti-Semitism: everything is abominable in this crime committed in Courbevoie against a 12-year-old girl.”

Cyprus' President responds to Nasrallah

 

Cyprus’ President Nikos Christodoulides responded on Wednesday to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, after he had threatened Cyprus and warned it not to assist Israel.

Christodoulides said that the island was in “no way involved in the war conflicts.”

“The Republic of Cyprus is not part of the problem. The Republic of Cyprus is part of the solution,” the President of Cyprus added, according to CNN.

“And our role in this, as demonstrated, for example, through the humanitarian corridor, is recognized not only by the Arab world but by the international community as a whole,” he added.

In televised remarks earlier on Wednesday, Nasrallah warned, "We have information that the enemy is conducting maneuvers in Cyprus, in Cypriot territory, and airports. It (Israel) believes that if its airports are targeted, it will use Cypriot airports and facilities. Therefore, the Cypriot government must know that by opening Cypriot airports and bases for war on Lebanon, we will deal with Cyprus as if it were part of the war."

Crazed Joey cancels high-level meeting following Netanyahu video that revealed US Withholding Military Aid

 

The White House canceled a high-level US-Israel meeting on Iran that was scheduled for Thursday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video on Tuesday claiming the US was withholding military aid, two US officials told Axios’ Barak Ravid.

President Joe Biden's top advisers were enraged by the video — a message US envoy Amos Hochstein delivered personally to Netanyahu in a meeting hours after it was published, two US and Israeli sources said. Then the White House decided to go a step farther by canceling Thursday's meeting.

"This decision makes it clear that there are consequences for pulling such stunts," a US official said.

Some Israeli officials were already en route to Washington when the meeting was cancelled, according to Ravid’s report.

Two US officials told Axios the meeting was canceled to send a message about the video. A third claimed the meeting was postponed rather than canceled, due to a scheduling issue.

In Tuesday’s video, Netanyahu expressed astonishment at moves from the Biden Administration to hold up munitions shipments to Israel during the war against Hamas.

"When Secretary Blinken was recently here in Israel, we had a candid conversation, I said I deeply appreciated the support the US has given Israel from the beginning of the war," Netanyahu said.

"But I also said something else, I said it's inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel. Israel, America's closest ally, [is] fighting for its life, fighting against Iran and our other common enemies," he added.

"Secretary Blinken assured me that the administration is working day and night to remove these bottlenecks. I certainly hope that's the case. It should be the case,” continued Netanyahu.

Later, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre the known liar  reacted with seeming bewilderment to Netanyahu's statement.

"We genuinely do not know what he is talking about. We just don't," she lied to reporters. "There was one particular shipment of munitions that was paused."

"We continue to have these constructive discussions with Israelis for the release of that particular shipment," she added. "There are no other pauses, none, no other poses or hold in place. Everything else is moving in due process."
