FBI Had No Probable Cause To Raid Trump's Mar-a-Lago Estate ... Biden Ordered It!

 The FBI did not believe agents had probable cause to raid President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022 — but former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice approved the search anyway, according to newly released records.

An FBI official even noted that agents had spent six “counterproductive” weeks trying to establish they had grounds for a search warrant but they were eventually overruled by the DOJ, with one top official grouching that he “frankly [didn’t] give a damn about the optics.”

“We haven’t generated any new facts, but keep being given draft after draft after draft,” one official in the FBI’s Washington Field Office groused in a July 13, 2022, email. “Absent a witness coming forward with recent information about classified on site, at what point is it fair to table this?”

The bombshell details were lodged in internal records released Tuesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

Israel Bans mobile phones in all elementary schools.

 



Education Minister Yoav Kisch announced a new policy in the education system, according to which, starting February 2nd 2026 (Tu B'Shevat), the use of mobile phones will be banned in all elementary schools.

The new policy proposes that the use of the devices will be limited only to designated classes where the educational staff approves the use for learning purposes.

The goal of the move is to allow students to develop social and emotional skills, improve the educational climate and increase focus on learning, while reducing external distractions.

He explained: "We are allowing children to truly meet each other again, reduce external distractions and expand the human and natural connection between students, without screens."

He noted that the policy is based on numerous studies from Israel and around the world, which indicate negative effects of using phones on student well-being and the school climate.

The new policy was formulated following extensive work by the Ministry of Education, which examined the impact of mobile phone use on the labor market, the learning environment, and the social and emotional skills required in a changing reality. The move is part of a broad systemic policy aimed at reducing distractions, strengthening social connections, and creating an environment that will improve learning conditions.

Should Jews leave America now?

DIN: In the video below, you have "debate" between  Rabbi Elchanan Shoff and Rabbi Michal Weichbrod

 I am in the midst of taking apart this discussion and exposing the half-truths and all lies of  Rabbi Shoff! 


by Avraham Shusteris

The below article is a response to a recent podcast debate between two American Rabbis who discussed whether Othodox (frum) Jews in America should be making aliyah now. The entire debate can be seen above.

The question is asked. And after the Sydney massacre it is being asked again. It is whispered in the shuls of Brooklyn and shouted in the study halls of Lakewood.

We hear the great excuse, the terrible shield behind which the American Jew hides his fear and his comfort.

"How can I make Aliyah? What about the children? What if they go off the derech? What if they fall?"

And so, to "save" the children, we sentence them to the graveyard of the Exile.

It is madness! It is a tragedy of logic that only a Jew in Galut could invent. You are afraid that in the Holy Land, the land God’s eyes are upon from the beginning of the year to the end, your child will lose his way? But in America- the land of filth, of materialism, of the worship of the Golden Dollar-there he will be safe?

New haunting footage: Couple confronts Sydney terrorists before being shot

 


Newly released video footage appears to show a bystander attempting to disarm one of the alleged attackers moments before the deadly shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, during a Hanukkah event.

Dashcam footage from the scene shows a man wearing a purple top struggling with Sajid Akram near a vehicle close to a footbridge shortly before gunfire erupted. The footage captures the two men grappling on the ground, with the bystander appearing to reach for and gain control of the firearm during the struggle.

As the confrontation continues, the man in the purple top is seen rising to his feet while holding the weapon and backing away, gesturing toward Akram in what appears to be an effort to keep him at a distance. A woman is visible standing nearby during the incident.

The newly surfaced footage shows the bystander stepping backward while still facing Akram, seemingly attempting to prevent him from regaining control of the gun.

The man and woman were later identified as Boris and Sofia Gurman, a Russian-Jewish couple living in Bondi. They were the first two victims of the attack.

Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, Sajid Akram, 50, opened fire on people gathered for the Chanukah by the Sea event at Bondi at approximately 6:40 p.m. on Sunday, marking the first night of Hanukkah.

The dashcam footage also appears to show what resembles an Islamic State flag displayed across the front windscreen of a silver car at the scene.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the following day that the attackers were motivated by Islamic State ideology.

The incident left at least 15 people dead, with more than 40 others injured.
