Sheldon Silver Gets 6 1/2 Years in Prison

Former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was sentenced Monday to 6 1/2 years in prison in the corruption case that drove him from power.

The sentencing by U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni in Manhattan came after she insisted that the 76-year-old Democrat come to court in person to hear his punishment, rather than appear remotely because of concerns about exposure to the coronavirus.

In a handwritten letter to the judge, Silver, who was one of New York’s most powerful politicians in his 21 years as Assembly speaker, had asked that he be spared a prison term that would cause him to die in prison.

Prosecutors had urged that he go to prison for seven years for bribery and extortion.

In A World Gone Mad .... St. Louis Couple Get Charged For Protecting Their Home

This is a taste of what a Biden presidency is going to look like ...and that means Jews are in big trouble... they will not be able to defend themselves or their property. In fact last week,  former NYC police commissioner John Kelly said that Jews will not have the protection of the police.... it's mob rule ...

St. Louis’ top prosecutor told The Associated Press on Monday that she is charging a white husband and wife with felony unlawful use of a weapon for displaying guns during a racial injustice protest outside their mansion.

Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner announced the charges against Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who are both personal injury attorneys in their 60s. They also face a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree assault.

Gardner said in an interview with the AP ahead of more broadly announcing the charges that the McCloskeys’ actions risked creating a violent situation during an otherwise nonviolent protest.

“It is illegal to wave weapons in a threatening manner — that is unlawful in the city of St. Louis,” Gardner said.

The attorney for the McCloskeys, Joel Schwartz, in a statement called the decision to charge “disheartening as I unequivocally believe no crime was committed.”

Brooklyn Lady Shot Dead After Asking Neighbor Not To Set Off Fireworks

A Brooklyn woman who followed Borough President Eric Adams’ advice for New Yorkers to settle disputes neighbor-to-neighbor rather than calling 911 wound up shot dead after she confronted some punks setting off illegal fireworks, the victim’s grieving mom said.

Shatavia Walls, 33, was blasted eight times in an East New York public housing complex on July 7, simply for asking the fiends to take their dangerous display away from a group of playing kids — exactly how Adams had urged constituents to act in the face of the pyrotechnic plague.

“She watched the news. Yes, she heard it,” Helen Testagros, Walls’ heartbroken mother, told The Post on Sunday, referring to Adams’ advice. “It was probably in the back of her mind.”

Who "murdered" R' Shmuel Ashkenazi ?

Rav Shmuel Ashkenazi, z’l, a resident of Jerusalem known as the “ish sefarim” due to his decades-long habit of buying a new sefer every day from the time of his wedding passed away on Shabbos at the age of 98, Kikar Shabbos reported.

A relative of the niftar told Kikar H’Shabbos that during the first few months of the coronavirus pandemic, Rav Ashkenazi eagerly awaited the moment he would be able to daven in shul once again. When shuls were finally reopened, Rav Ashkenazi returned to shul, thinking he would be safe since anyone with the coronavirus wouldn’t attend.

“But a murderer awaited him there!” his relative said. “One of the mispallelim who was aware that he was carrying the coronavirus nevertheless came to shul and sat not far from the elderly R’ Shmuel, who was mapkid to sit at a separate table.”

Shortly later, R’ Ashkenazi began developing symptoms of the virus, passing away on Shabbos, a few weeks later. “And to be clear,” his relative continued, “Rav Shmuel had no underlying illnesses despite his advanced age. He died only because of the coronavirus which he caught from the mispallel who violated the regulations.”

R’ Ashkenazi was born in Yerushalayim to a family that lived in the city for generations.

Due to his unusual minhag of buying a sefer every day, his home in Batei Ungarim looked like an otzeir sefarim, with sefarim lining all the walls of his apartment until the ceiling. He even had ladders to reach the upper shelves but had difficulty climbing them in his later years.

What made his home even more unusual was that sefarim even lined the walls of his small Israeli kitchen. Instead of upper kitchen cabinets in the small space allocated to it, there are sefarim shelves. Sefarim shelves also cover the other upper walls of the kitchen.

R’ Ashkenazi didn’t just buy the sefarim but also learned from them – from all of them.

He published a sefer of his Torah writings several years ago, Alfa Beisa Kadmisa.

Aaron Keyak Frum Leftist "lapdog" Will Join Biden Campaign

There is an expression from the Medrish Raba .....Rashi uses it in Parshas Balak 

"לא מדובשך ולא מעוקצך "

"Don't give me your honey and spare me your sting"

This misguided useful idiot, Aaron Keyak, was communications director for the Fat Jewish/Backstabber, Jerry Nadler, and also played a leading role in Jewish outreach on behalf of Hussain Obama's Presidential reelection.

Let's not forget that it was Nadler that voted for the Iran deal that would have handed nuclear weapons with impunity to the Iranian mullahs who vowed to wipe the State of Israel off the map, and it was the  Obama/Biden administration who on their way out the door had the US abstain on a UN resolution that stated that the Kotel, Kever Rachal, Kever Yoisef, Mearas HaMachpeilah and Chevron never belonged to the Jewish people and therefore have no historic claim to it.

This naive fummie .. has the chutzpah to say that he
"doesn't buy Trump's professed support for Jews" 

ignoring the fact that Trump is unquestionably the best friend the Jews ever had in the white house....

Keyak keeps repeating the lie, the mantra of the extreme left "regressive" Jews , that Trump 
"is, and remains fundamentally dangerous."

Mr. Shorty Pants, will be working for Biden who has the backing of the three biggest anti-Semites in congress, Tlaib, Omar and AOC. and on May 19 of this year, just two months ago, 
Biden openly told Jewish Donors that he "would reverse Trump's Israel policies that damages the chances of peace with the Palestinians."

On June 22 1982, Joe Biden then a Senator from Delaware, confronted the then Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin during his Senate Foreign Relations committee testimony, and threatened to cut off aid to Israel. 

Begin forcefully responded,

 “Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

 Comes this little pisher, Aaron Keyak who is in way over his head, to push Joe Biden onto the Jewish community... 

You know what, my sweet Areleh.....?
 push your own family into the ovens .....

Shalva Zalfreund 64 Dies of Covid After Begging Parents of Toddlers to Respect Regulations

A kindergarten worker from the central city of Petah Tikva died of COVID-19 on Friday, two weeks after she sent a message to parents asking them to respect the regulations to stop the spread of the coronavirus, and not send sick children to the daycare.

“I am in an at-risk group [for infection]. The authorities know with certainty about families who violated isolation or did not follow the instructions to not send children [to kindergarten when they] have a family member in isolation in their home,” wrote Shalva Zalfreund, 64.

“It is true that isolation for a small child is an unpleasant experience, but it passes in two weeks and in that one moment we can be partners to really save lives and educate our children to respect others,” Zalfreund told the parents.

“For me, it no longer matters who I contracted it from and who violated isolation. I just beg and plead for the grandparents, neighbors and older relatives who surround us and do not deserve to die, even if they have underlying illnesses,” she wrote.

Zalfreund said she had been told by “qualified sources” that she had been infected at the municipal kindergarten, but it was unclear how this could be confirmed.

Petah Tikva Mayor Rami Greenfeld eulogized Zalfreund as “an amazing teacher who educated many children in the city.”

Blacks Deface DeBlassios's "BLM Mural" in Front of Trump Towers

The Black Lives Matter mural in front of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue was vandalized Saturday for the third time this week — this time by a black woman yelling, “refund the police!”

In the 3 p.m. episode, black paint was tossed on the yellow BLM mural as two officers tried to stop the woman, who wore a “Jesus Matters” T-shirt, from smearing the paint over the pavement.

“They’re liars!” the woman shouted as she kept pulling her arms away from the two cops. “They say they care about black lives, they’re saying to defund the police.”

As bystanders screamed profanities at the woman and she shouted “Refund the police!” in response, one of the officers slipped and fell in the wet paint, hurting his head and arm.The woman continued undeterred, yelling and getting on her hands and knees to keep smearing the paint.

“They don’t care! They don’t care about black people!” she yelled. “We’re killing each other left and right! Black Lives Matters — liars!”

Two women, ages 29 and 39, were taken into custody and are expected to be charged with criminal mischief, police said.

The injured officer was taken to Bellevue Hospital, police said.

The mural was also targeted for vandalism Friday afternoon.

Woman who tested positive for COVID-19 hosts 7 people for Shabbat

Is it any wonder why this will never end....
The hostess gets tested ... knowing that this might not end well ... goes ahead anyway to feed her guests with the possibility of infecting them with a deadly disease..
unless she hated them and planned this ...

Volunteers from ZAKA Tel Aviv and ZAKA Israel came to inform a 37-year-old woman during Shabbat that she had tested positive for coronavirus.

When she opened the door, the volunteers were surprised to see that not only did she not go into isolation but that she was holding a Shabbat meal with her husband and five children and had even invited seven guests to the meal.

ZAKA said that unlike in previous weeks, there was increased activity this Shabbat in locating patients in Ramat Gan. 

The work was spread in a large number of central cities, including Bnei Brak, Givat Shmuel, Or Yehuda, Petah Tikva, Kiryat Ono, Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, Police said on Saturday that 2,960 reports were distributed in the last day as part of the enforcement of the restrictions imposed on the public in the fight against the coronavirus.

According to the statement, 2,780 reports were distributed for not wearing a mask, 77 for leaving a place of residence in a restricted area and 34 reports for operating a place of business or providing a service to someone who is not wearing a mask.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar & Rabbi Lau

 It has come to our attention that the article below, based on information on the YNet website, had incorrectly reported many of the facts. The true story is also beautiful and we felt it important to share with you the facts straight from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar himself.

In an interview with ESPN, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sorts out the facts as follows:
Reporter’s Question: I have heard this amazing tale about your dad and a boy he helped liberate from a concentration camp at the end of World War II. Would you mind recounting briefly the story of Rabbi Lau and your dad?
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: That story — people have gotten that all mixed up. There was a reporter in Israel who put my father into the tank battalion that liberated Dachau.

My dad was a police officer in New York.

One of the guys that he was a police officer with was in a tank battalion that liberated Dachau. Rabbi Lau was a boy in Buchenwald, which was also liberated by black troops, but it was a totally different group than the one that my dad’s friend was in.

The group that helped liberate Buchenwald was the 183rd Combat Engineers, an all black unit.

Reporter’s Question: And that’s who you wrote the book about?

Farrakhan’s ties to politicians and celebrities run deep

It was all smiles when Louis Farrakhan strode into a weekly luncheon for the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington DC, where he had been invited to address the most powerful black lawmakers in the country.

The year was 2005, and the Nation of Islam boss was greeted by a new up-and-comer among their ranks, a senator from Illinois — Barack Obama.

“He is much better looking than I am,” Obama said, according to Askia Muhammad, a photographer who snapped an image of the future president glad-handing the divisive, anti-Semitic minister.

Muhammad — recognizing the potentially dangerous impact the photo could have on Obama’s well-known White House ambitions — kept the picture buried for 13 years before releasing the image in his book “The Autobiography of Charles 67X” in 2018.

Muhammad — a Nation of Islam member — was probably right to be worried. In his decades in public life, Farrakhan has attacked Jewish people as “satanic;” publicly questioned the Holocaust; blamed Jews for the African slave trade; condemned Judaism as a “dirty religion;” and praised Hitler as a “great man” — financed by Jews.

He has called white people “potential humans” and accused the “white right” of trying to have Obama assassinated. Nation of Islam theology holds that white people are a creation of an evil black scientist named Yakub. Gay marriage is also “satanic” and was only introduced to Africa by whites.

He also denies Osama bin Laden planned the 9/11 attacks, calling it a “false flag operation” meant to divert American attention away from President Bush “stealing” the 2000 election.

Chareidie Father in Beit Shemesh Arrested After Choking His Son To Unconsciousness On Shabbas

A 38 year-old Chareidie from Beit Shemesh is still in custody after choking his son last shabbos over a dispute about which yeshivah he would attend next zman.

The boy was still unconscious when Magan David Adom arrived. After examining the child they determined that he was choked after noticing rope marks on the child's neck.
Police were called and after searching the apartment and finding the rope, they arrested the father.

The father refused to be taken by police car to the station house because as he explained "it would be chillul shabbas."
The Zionist police ignored him and forcibly carried him to the police car. 

The father who was worried about violating shabbas, stopped talking to police under the advice of his lawyer Leah Zemel, but not before he told them that the child went berserk after their "yeshiva" discussion and to calm him down, he choked him..
I don't think that the father will be giving "parenting classes" anytime soon.

The Judge Oran Silberman, extended the "the tzaddik's" custody in jail, stating "we have a very dangerous situation here, where a father went searching for rope to choke his child and choked him until he became unconscious."

After further inquiry, DIN found out that the child is in fair condition.

No word on which Yeshiva the child will ultimately attend...

Everyone Makes Mistakes Even the Israeli Police

by Shia Getter

Yes, it was my daughter.

You saw her crying on a viral video that circulated internationally, when policemen were trying to issue her a “doch,” a ticket for holding her mask in her hand and not wearing it, as she had just sipped a slush on a hot summer’s day. That was her, hysterically attempting to call my wife and me, as her younger siblings looked on. That was my 13-year-old struggling to get her mask in place as the policemen stood around, filing an official report, and a crowd gathered around her.

Yes, my daughter was harassed by the police — something no child should ever have to go through. And, yes, we agree that policymakers and law enforcement officers need to use (a lot more) common sense and sensitivity. Indeed, we all want our kids to feel that police are there to help and protect them, and not to attack.

But that’s not what I want to focus on.

You see, despite the trauma that day, despite the incredible amount of (unwanted) attention she received, something unbelievably heartwarming came out of this. Basya, my daughter, awakened the tremendous good in people.

Since that incident on July 6, my phone has been ringing incessantly: people from around the world have been calling to express their support, love, and friendship. These are not necessarily people I’m friends with, or even acquainted with. Many are strangers who heard about what we went through and who wanted to stand with us in this time of darkness and confusion. They’re other Jews from across the spectrum of Klal Yisrael, from across the scale of religiosity, people who don’t look at me as a Boyaner chassid or as an Israeli or as someone so vastly different from them. They saw what we went through and they just wanted to express unity, achdus.

Seven Iranian Ships on Fire ..... Israel?

At least seven ships were on fire in the southern Iranian port city of Bushehr, Tasnim reported on Wednesday, adding that the cause of the fires remains unclear.

Efforts are underway to bring the fire under control, IRNA cited Jahangir Dehghani, the head of the crisis management organization for Bushehr province, as saying.

The incident follows a series of explosions which have rocked Iran in recent weeks.

An explosion occurred at an Iranian chemical plant Monday, Iranian media reported.

The blast allegedly occurred at a gas condensate plant in the Kavian Fariman industrial zone in the Razavi Khorasan Province in eastern Iran. The explosion was caused by a fire which broke out at one of the gas tanks.

Firefighters were able to put out the blaze before it spread to other tanks and caused additional explosions. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A gas explosion shook a residential building in Tehran, Iran, on Saturday, injuring one person, Iran's semi-official ISNA reported.

On Friday, IRIB reported that an explosion was heard in Western Tehran, and electricity had been cut in the area around where the explosion occurred.

Two people were killed in an explosion at a Tehran factory on July 7. An explosion caused severe damage at the Natanz nuclear facility on July 2.

In June, an explosion near a military complex in Parchin area southeast of Tehran rocked the Iranian capital. Authorities blamed that blast on "leaking gas tanks."

13 people were killed in an explosion at a medical center in Tehran on June 30. Tehran Deputy Governor Hamid Reza Goudarzi told state TV that the explosion was caused by a gas leak.
