A day with the FBI: My perp walk, handcuffs, strip search and leg irons for a politically motivated misdemeanor

Navarro served in President Trump’s first term — and is also an adviser in his second.

It is an interesting thing to suddenly lose one’s freedom. It would be very interesting on this day, June 3, 2022. 

The first thing FBI agents do when they grab you is pull your arms behind you and put you in handcuffs.

No matter how gently they might try to do it, it’s still going to take a pretty good pull on your shoulder sockets. And in this case, they weren’t particularly gentle. 

I no doubt appeared to these five armed FBI agents to be a very dangerous hombre. After all, I was 74 years old, I weigh 145 pounds soaking wet and top out at a gargantuan 5’7″. 

Once I was handcuffed, they walked me out the back door of the gangway at Reagan National Airport and down some portable steps onto the tarmac, where they had a tiny car waiting to transport me first back to the FBI headquarters — it’s across the street from my apartment — and then eventually to the courthouse. 

This is the "Ben Torah" that Chareidim Fought to get released Who they claim was a "Hostage"

"Yeshiva student" Meir Yona, was released from military prison last night,

Looked well fed, and complained that he didn't have air conditioning

 and then told naive Hasidim 

"I was arrested on the drive, within a moment the military police arrived, everything was dusty in prison, there was no air conditioning, I had a hard time and I went through suffering, but I will remain strong 

It was for this "tzaddik" that they dragged the 91 year old R' Dov Landau to scream that the Zionists are not allowing Torah to be learned! 

Guys wake me up from this nightmare! Meanwhile I'll run to bring him tzizis !

140 Chareidim enlisted in the Army on Thursday

One Of The Most Miraculous Events In Human History: The Rebirth Of Hebrew As A Living Language

Eliezer Ben Yehuda

 What is fascinating is that millions of Jews speak Hebrew and no other language! Many Charedim  speak only Hebrew! A Miracle indeed! 

By

 Saul Jay Singer

Eliezer Ben Yehuda (1858-1922), the “Father of the Modern Hebrew Language,” is best known for one of the truly great socio-linguistic events in world history: his virtually single-handed revival of Hebrew as a spoken language, which for centuries had been used only for Jewish prayer. 

He accomplished this at a time when there was not a single person who conversed in Hebrew as a mother tongue, when the resurrection of a dead language had never occurred in all human history, and when virtually no one else believed it possible. His philosophy may perhaps best be summarized by a famous quote in which he combines his fervent Zionism with his obsession with a return to Hebrew as a lingua franca: “Just as the Jews cannot really become a living nation other than through their returning to their ancestral land, so too, they are not able to become a living nation other than through their returning to their ancestral language.” 

As one commentator pithily observed, “before Ben Yehuda, Jews could speak Hebrew; after him, they did.”

No! Your Sandwich is not Halal!

 

Call it rude, but this is exactly the attitude all Western restaurants should have towards anyone demanding halal food.

There is no reason why establishments should accept meat that comes from a deliberately torturous and painful slaughter method. It should be banned completely. pic.twitter.com/o8jpds3yTk

U.S. Suspends All Visitor Visas for Gaza Residents

 The U.S. State Department has frozen all visitor visas for Gaza residents, announcing a “full and thorough review” of recent humanitarian approvals. 

The move came after investigative journalist Laura Loomer posted videos claiming Palestinians had entered the U.S. via San Francisco and Houston, sparking Republican outrage.

Rabbi Berel Wein, The Gadol With Common Sense, Dies at 91

Rabbi Berel Wein, legendary Jewish historian, author, yeshiva founder, rabbi, and Giant Talmud Chacham, passed away Saturday in Israel at 91. Known for his extraordinary oratory and scholarship, he captivated audiences worldwide with thousands of recorded lectures on Jewish history and Torah, shared over decades via tapes, CDs, and online platforms.

Born in Chicago, Rabbi Wein led Congregation Bais Torah and founded Yeshiva Shaarei Torah in Monsey, New York, before moving to Jerusalem in 1997 to serve as rabbi of Beit Knesset Hanassi. He also transformed kosher supervision in North America through his leadership of the OU’s Kashrut Division, leaving a global impact on Jewish life.

Renowned for bridging generations, Rabbi Wein was personally connected to pre-Holocaust rabbinic leaders. He famously recounted meeting Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe—despite being an anti-Zionist while Rabbi Wein was pro-Zionist—and described him as one of the greatest minds and tzadikim he had ever encountered.

His funeral will be held Sunday at Beit Knesset Hanassi in Jerusalem, with burial on the Mount of Olives.

 

Growing Wave of Jewish Voters Rally Behind Antisemite Mamdani for NYC Mayor

 

With early voting kicking off in just over two months, Zohran Mamdani’s grip on Jewish voters remains firm despite his antisemitic positions that have drawn sharp criticism from pro-Israel groups.

New polling data by Zenith Research and Public Progress Solutions shows Mamdani maintaining his lead among Jewish voters citywide (43%) compared to 26% for former Governor Andrew Cuomo and 15% for incumbent Mayor Eric Adams.

Mamdani, a state assemblyman from Queens and a prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America, has often been at odds with pro-Israel institutions. He has endorsed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and declined to affirm Israel’s status as a Jewish state. His positions that have drawn sharp criticism from both Republican and centrist Democratic circles who have accused him of crossing into antisemitic rhetoric, pointing to his past hesitation to condemn chants like “globalize the intifada.”

Mamdani has consistently denied those claims, arguing that his critique is aimed at Israeli government policy, not Jews or Judaism. Nevertheless, he appears to be gaining ground among Jewish voters, especially the younger generation.

Many seem drawn to his progressive platform, which includes a proposed Department of Community Safety to address violence without expanding police power, and increased funding to fight hate crimes citywide. Among Jewish voters aged 18 to 44, support for Mamdani jumps to 67%.

Meanwhile citywide Mamdani remains the clear front-runner in a fractured race. The poll has him at 50% overall, compared to 22% for Cuomo, 13% for Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, and just 7% for Adams, who is running as an independent.

Though once a vocal supporter of defunding the police, Mamdani has since softened his stance in recent months—particularly after a deadly shooting at a Midtown office building. He now says he supports maintaining NYPD staffing levels while investing heavily in non-police solutions to public safety.

Palestinians from Gaza Enter U.S. Under Trump Administration Despite Official Ban

 

In a development raising serious national security questions, video footage shows Palestinians—claiming to be refugees from Gaza—arriving in the United States this month through San Francisco and Houston, Texas. Their travel was reportedly facilitated by an organization called “Heal Palestine”, despite the Trump administration’s stated policy against accepting Palestinian refugees.

The videos—obtained by Loomer Unleashed—depict Palestinian families disembarking from flights, some waving Palestinian flags, chanting pro-Hamas slogans, and even performing the “Hamas terror whistle” inside Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Another clip shows arrivals at San Francisco International Airport on August 6, 2025, via a Qatar Airways flight.

This has ignited a firestorm of questions:

• How did individuals from a Hamas-controlled territory obtain U.S. visas?

• Did the State Department under Marco Rubio’s leadership approve this?

• Which officials signed off on visas for people from a recognized terror hot zone?

• Why are governors Gavin Newsom and Greg Abbott allowing Palestinian arrivals in California and Texas?

Critics point out that 95% of Gazans voted for Hamas in the last election, accusing U.S. officials of enabling a security breach by permitting entry from a region synonymous with terrorism.
