Biden COVID-19 Board Member: "Time to Shut Down Indoor Dining, Gyms, and Home Gatherings" Will this Include Shuls!

 

During a Fox Business Network interview, Biden COVID-19 Advisory Board member Dr. Celine Gounder said we need to target “places that we know are big contributors to transmission are indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, and also private social gatherings of friends and family in the home” for closures. 

On the plus side, she is suggesting this as an alternative to shutting down the whole country. She also said the “draconian lockdowns” the country did earlier were a mistake. Instead, the country should,

“be much more targeted about how we tighten up some of our measures. I think of it like a dimmer switch, whereas before we had an on and off light switch. So, we can dial up and dial down in a much more granular fashion. So, some of the places that we know are big contributors to transmission are indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, and also private social gatherings of friends and family in the home. So, those are really the places we need to target for closures while keeping other services, for example, schools that are — have not been major contributors to transmission, they’re not zero-risk, but they are much lower risk, and they’re an essential service. And so, we’re really prioritizing keeping schools, for example, open.”

While we definitely don’t want to go the lockdown route, there are big problems with this type of thinking as well. For example, while there are studies saying different things, there is a lot of evidence that COVID-19 IS NOT spreading in gyms

Will a Biden administration destroy the restaurant industry, gyms, bars and challenge the 1st Amendment protections for churches based on….what exactly? 

Models that have been proven wrong over and over? Educated guesses that have also been wrong over and over? If you’re looking for definitive scientific evidence for what she’s suggesting here about where the coronavirus is spreading, you aren’t going to find it. You’re going to find a mishmash of different studies and guesses pointing in different directions that we are years away from being able to sort out.

One of the problems with these out-of-touch elites is that they feel very comfortable and confident about making decisions that destroy other people’s lives “for their own good.” 

They don’t think you “need” to go to church or to the gym or see your family, so it’s out. What they don’t understand is that the best person to make decisions for you is YOU. That doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes. It doesn’t mean you won’t get it wrong. But, nobody knows you and your life better than you and unlike the elites that think they know best, you have to face the consequences if you blow it. Meanwhile, if they wreck someone’s life with a dumb decision, it’s not their problem. This is why they don’t have any business making decisions like this in the first place.

New York Times Reports Trump Wanted to Attack Iran’s Main Nuclear Base Last Thursday

Well.. too bad.. because that was a lost opportunity ... now Israel will have to deal with it ... 

According to a Monday report by the NY Times, President Trump last Thursday inquired about his options for action against Iran’s main nuclear site in Natanz (Trump Sought Options for Attacking Iran to Stop Its Growing Nuclear Program). The conversation in the Oval Office with the president’s senior advisors followed the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Wednesday’s report that Iran had increased its uranium stockpile to 12 times the amount it was permitted under the 2015 nuclear agreement.

The IAEA also reported that Iran was not permitting it access to a second site where the agency suspected there was more increased nuclear activity.

In Thursday’s meeting, all of the people in the room – Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley – were against the idea, fearing that a US attack would escalate into an open-ended war.

Last week, President Trump carried out sweeping changes in the Department of Defense, staring with the firing of Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and followed by the removal of several of the department’s most senior officials, replacing them with the president’s staunch loyalists. The unprecedented flurry of changes just weeks before the end of the president’s term in office filled Pentagon officials with a growing sense of alarm about the president’s plans.

Someone in the defense apparatus decided to leak to the New York Times the possibility that Trump wanted to hit Iran’s major nuclear plant.

According to the Times’ report, Pompeo and General Milley warned the president about the risks of military escalation, and the senior officials left the meeting expecting that a US attack inside Iran was not going to take place.

The IAEA reported that Iran has stockpiled more than 2,442 kilograms of low-enriched uranium, enough to produce two nuclear weapons – after several months of processing to enrich the uranium to bomb-grade level. Although it is a breach of the nuclear agreement, it is still far less than the amount Iran possessed before the July 2015 deal, which was more than 11,000 kg.

In A World Gone Mad .. Joe Biden Names Transgender Military Veteran to Review Department of Defense

 

Here is a guy who thinks its Purim all year round and is being  placed in a very important position  as an "agency reviewer for the Department of Defense"

Crazy and the world accepts this now as "normal." 

A former official from the Barack Obama administration, Shawn Skelly, has joined former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential transition team as an agency reviewer for the Department of Defense.

Skelly, who is a man living as a woman, was appointed to the Obama administration in 2013 as a special assistant to the under secretary of defense for acquisition, technology, and logistics and coordinator of the Department of Defense Warfighter Senior Integration Group. Skelly also was director of the Office of the Executive Secretariat at the Department of Transportation during the Obama administration.

The Washington Blade reported on Skelly’s appointment and Biden’s agenda of including LGBT officials in his administration:

“LGBTQ advocates are pressing Biden to reverse Trump’s ban on transgender military service in short order upon taking office as litigation against the policy continues in federal courts,” the Blade reported. “According to a memo from the San Francisco-based Palm Center, Biden could lift the ban against transgender service members in as little as 30 days.”

The great kosher meat war of 1902 is the wildest protest you’ve never heard of

 

Crowds gather in front of a butcher shop in the early 1900s.


The organizers expected just 50 people. But on May 15, 1902, nearly 500 women packed into the meeting hall at 88 Monroe St. on the Lower East Side, with more gathered outside.

“New York never saw such a huge gathering of Jewish women,” one of the local newspapers proclaimed.

And the women were angry. The ladies took turns addressing the crowd, but it was Fanny Levy, a 35-year-old mother of six, who had the line of the evening. Lamenting the lack of results that efforts from others had brought, Levy exhorted the crowd, “This is their strike? Let the women make a strike; then there will be a strike!”

For an early example of activism and the power of women in New York City, look no further than the kosher meat strike of 1902 — a mostly forgotten incident that tore the Lower East Side apart. “This is an early example of consumer activism,” says Scott D. Seligman, author of the new book, “The Great Kosher Meat War of 1902: Immigrant Housewives and the Riots That Shook New York City” (Potomac Books).

The trouble began when the price of kosher beef shot up some 50 percent in just a few months.

“At 18 cents a pound — $5.25 in today’s dollars — kosher beef was now beyond the reach of families that had to pinch pennies to make ends meet,” the author writes.

New York Sheriffs Won’t Enforce Cuomo’s Thanksgiving limit

 

Three more upstate New York sheriffs have announced their refusal to enforce the state’s private gathering limit on Thanksgiving.

In a scathing Facebook post on Saturday, Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino questioned the legality of Gov. Cuomo’s newly instituted 10-person cap on parties and other gatherings in private residences.

“Frankly, I am not sure it could sustain a Constitutional challenge in Court for several reasons including your house is your castle,” the sheriff wrote in the Saturday post.

“And as a Sheriff with a law degree I couldn’t in good faith attempt to defend it Court, so I won’t,” he said.

Giardino noted his office, with limited resources, has scant legal options to enter private homes other than search warrants, invitations or under an “emergency circumstance.”

“We have limited resources and we have to set priorities, so obtaining a Search Warrant to enter your home to see how many Turkey or Tofu eaters are present is not a priority,” Giardino wrote.

Washington County Sheriff Jeff Murphy said there will be no Thanksgiving enforcement, and on Monday Saratoga County Michael Zurlo also threw cold water on the state order.

“I can’t see how devoting our resources to counting cars in citizens’ driveways or investigating how much turkey and dressing they’ve purchased is for the public good,” Zurlo said in a press release.

Last Friday, two days after Cuomo announced the new restrictions, Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard said his office would ignore the indoor gathering limit.

“Politicians acting like politicians and ignoring what the actual experts say has been fueling the spread of this virus is what plunged this country in this continued public health crisis in the first place,” senior Cuomo adviser Richard Azzopardi said in response to the announcements.

“We urge everyone to continue to be smart and act responsibly. We know this makes people unhappy, but better unhappy then sick or worse.”

BBC traces ‘unimaginable trauma’ of Holocaust inherited by children of survivors

 Without knowing the brutal history of this place, the sprawling mound rising from the earth just outside the town of Voranova, in Belarus, could easily be overlooked.

But for those who are all too aware, such as attorney Robert Rinder, who hosts the reality TV series “Judge Rinder,” it represents “the most articulate expression of human evil.”

For it was here that Rinder’s paternal grandfather’s family, having been deported from their homes in Lithuania, were forcibly marched by Nazi officers, told to lie down and murdered with machine guns.

Remarkably, Rinder finds an elderly eyewitness to the horrific scenes that took place 80 years ago. It is just one of the many poignant scenes featuring in his new two-part series, “My Family, The Holocaust And Me,” whose first part aired on BBC One on November 9, coinciding with the anniversary of Kristallnacht. The second installment airs November 16 at 9 p.m and is also available to watch alongside the first episode on BBC iPlayer.

Israelis Chase EU envoy from site of planned East Jerusalem project



Demonstrators chased the European Union’s top representative to the Palestinians away from the East Jerusalem site of a planned new housing project, calling him an anti-Semite and a supporter of terrorism.

Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff later said that while he did not feel threatened, he regretted that he had been unable to conduct a constructive dialogue with the protesters.

He had planned to lead a delegation of diplomats from 13 EU member states to protest Israel’s plan to expand Givat Hamatos, a neighborhood where Israeli authorities on Sunday opened bidding on the construction of new homes.

Many in the international community have condemned the plan, saying new building in the sensitive location would harm the prospects of a future contiguous Palestinian state.

Von Burgsdorff and the other European diplomats, including representatives from Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries, were greeted by about a dozen activists from the right-wing Im Tirzu movement as they arrived in the area.

They shouted slogans such as “EU, shame on you,” and “Go back to Europe,” and accused the European officials of supporting terrorism. Several activists repeatedly called the European diplomats “anti-Semites.”

THE SATMAR CAMPAIGN TO DISCREDIT RABBI MOSHE FEINSTEIN

I'm old enough to remember these incidents very well described in the video below... 

I also knew Rabbi Schwartz and I once davened in his shtibel in Flatbush ...he barely had a minyan and the minyan that he did have were his children ..

But "Satmar Violence" didn't start and end with R' Moshe ... it was against the Kloizenberger, R' Hershele Spinker, Chabad etc.. 

and guess what the common denominator was between Satmar's victims.. R' Moshe, Kloizrnberger, R' Helshele and the Rebbe of Chabad?

They were all huge.... huge Talmeidei Chachamim... let that sink in ..

Caroline Glick: Media that ignore violence are animals

 A video of a young couple in Washington DC who were followed by a crowd of Black Life Matters and Antifa protestors is circulating the web these days. The couple, who can be identified as Trump supporters by their shirts, were attacked by the mob and an unidentified liquid was thrown on them.

Columnist and author Caroline Glick shared the video on Twitter and defined the protesters as "Animals".

But Glick added a harsh criticism following the media coverage of the recent violent incidents. "And you media disgraces", Glick wrote, "CNN, NBC News, CBS, ABC, New York Times and Washington Post who refuse to cover this violence, you are animals too".

28-Year-Old Nurse Succumbs To COVID-19 Hours After Posting Reassuring Video

 28-year-old Sergio Hernandez was a nurse working on the frontlines trying to save those who contracted COVID-19. A healthy young man with no previous problems, Hernandez believed that even if he would be infected, he would survive. The death of his 30-year-old sister in August from the deadly virus did not deter Hernandez, who continued to work until he himself fell ill with the virus.

Hernandez was convinced that he would overcome the virus and recorded a video in hospital before he was intubated, stating that “because I will come back, this is not a goodbye. I am sure I will come back after a few days.”

In the end these were some of his last words. Sergio, a nurse in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, lost his short battle with the virus just a few hours later.He was survived by his wife and young son.

“I want that, no matter what happens, and the prognosis that God has reserved for me, you always remember me for who I was and who I am,” he said in the message.

Hernandez’s cousin Adalberto Hernandez of Madera, California said that “it tears you apart… someone who’s young with his own children, and was helping people, no health complication, young, strong, full of life. It took him in 8 to 10 days after testing positive.”

Hernandez says that it’s too risky to travel or go to the funeral as some of Sergio’s family is still sick, so all they have as they mourn is his final message of hope – which will serve as his epitaph.

The family’s message is to remind people that this virus is real, and that they should wear a mask.

In 1929, local Arabs massacred members of the Jewish community of Hebron, the second holiest city to Jews worldwide and home to the Tomb of the Patriarchs, burial place of the founders of the Jewish faith, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob and Leah.

In 1948, when the Jordanian Legion occupied Judea and Samaria, they wiped out all remnants of Jewish life in Hebron, destroying tombstones and pillaging leftovers of Jewish property. From 1948 till the Six Day War in 1967, the city of Hebron, along with the rest of Judea and Samaria remained free of Jews.

Following the 1998 Wye River Accords, the PA received control of a majority of Hebron with the Waqf getting the Tomb of the Patriarchs, including the entrance to the cave and Isaac and Rebecca’s cenotaphs. Since then, Jews have only been allowed to pray in the outer section of the building for the majority of the year and visit Isaac’s cenotaph in the main hall of the building just 10 days a year.

Last year, the government of Israel finally provided the Jewish community of Hebron permission to build in the uninhabited "Arab market" near the Jewish Quarter of the city - a building constructed by the Jordanians decades ago. Now, the community is planning to build 60 housing units along with a small motel to welcome Jews from across the world to spend time at the heart of one of the treasures of Jewish history.

You have an opportunity to take part in this endeavor to help right a historic injustice and allow the true inhabitants of Hebron to begin the rebuild of a once-blossoming community.

The approaching storm in US-Israel relations

 The question of who would fill what job in a Biden administration is basically irrelevant - his policies are basically set in stone. 

The day before the U.S. presidential election, the progressive Israel Democracy Institute published the results of a poll of Israeli Jews asked whether they believed President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden would be better for Israel. Some 70 percent named Trump, 13 percent chose Biden and 17 percent said they didn’t know.

Since Election Day, and since U.S. networks proclaimed Biden the winner, Israel’s media, along with its diplomatic and security establishments and political leadership, busied themselves by scouring the lists of candidates for senior foreign policy positions in the Biden administration and considering the implications of so-and-so’s appointment to national security adviser. The notion behind the name game is that the appointment of one person over another will significantly impact a Biden administration’s Middle East policy either in Israel’s favor or to its detriment.

There is nothing new about the name game. Israel’s political and national security leaders and its media know-it-alls play it every four years, and indeed, often personnel has been policy. For instance, when Trump replaced his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, with Mike Pompeo, things changed. Tillerson opposed leaving the Iran nuclear deal and opposed moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Pompeo supported both.

But in the case of the apparently incoming Biden administration, who fills what job is basically irrelevant, and worrying about it should certainly not be a priority. Biden’s policies are basically set in stone.

Biden, his running mate Kamala Harris and his team repeatedly set out his Middle East policies, in detail, over the course of the campaign. And in the days since it became clear that Biden is far more likely than Trump to be inaugurated on Jan. 20, his advisers have restated those policies and, in some cases, have taken initial steps towards implementing them.

New York AG Threatens to Sue Trump Over Something He Didn’t Actually Say

 

New York Attorney General Letitia James is no stranger to frivolous litigation, whether it be her attempt to dissolve the NRA in New York, or her baseless attack on the Trump Organization.She’s outdone herself this time however, threatening to sue President Donald Trump over something he never actually said or threatened to do.

As The Blaze reports regarding her comments, which are mischaracterizing what President Trump said while giving updates on Operation Warp Speed yesterday:James accused Trump of “playing politics with people’s lives.”

“Any attempt by Donald Trump to deny New York access to a lifesaving #COVID19 vaccine will be met with a lawsuit, plain and simple,” she said. “Stop playing politics with people’s lives.”

In a statement, James further attacked Trump, accusing him of “vindictive behavior” and “trying to extract vengeance on those who oppose his politics.”

“If dissemination of the vaccine takes place in the twilight of a Trump Administration and the president wants to play games with people’s lives, we will sue and we will win,” she threatened.

Meanwhile, Cuomo accused Trump of being a “bully.”

As anyone who heard Trump’s comments themselves already knows, that isn’t what he said.

Iran Is Already Saying No to Joe Biden


 

Well, that didn’t take long. 

With Joe Biden set to be the next American president, Iran is already refusing to renegotiate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, which President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018 in favor of tougher sanctions.

Trump’s “maximum pressure” approach has severely hurt Iran, both economically and militarily. One would think, then, that Iran would jump at the chance to get back in the deal, especially since Biden has already expressed his desire to do so.

But there’s a hitch:

 Biden has his own demands. As Tom O’Connor reports in Newsweek, “Biden has pledged to return, but only if Iran restored some of the commitments it has since walked away from due to other participants’ failure to normalize trade ties with the Islamic Republic in the wake of the U.S. exit.”

WATCH: Antifa & BLM Accost Women, Children, Elderly, and Restaurant-Goers After MAGA March

Watch as this unfolds after the break on page 2 ... watch how BLM thinking they are still in the jungles of Africa attack innocent people coming from a rally .....  

Antifa and BLM wasted no time in accosting women, children, families, and the elderly as they walked down Washington, DC, streets after the Million MAGA March on Saturday. Protesters threw large fireworks and projectiles at restaurant-goers eating outside and flashed laser lights into hotel rooms.

DC Metropolitan Police blocked off BLM Plaza so Million MAGA March attendees could not go through. Trump supporters had to walk through a gauntlet of BLM, Antifa, and black bloc assailants in order to leave the area.

A black woman hauled off and sucker-punched a man carrying a Trump flag.

Rioters walked down the street and harassed an elderly couple while trying to rip a Trump flag out of their hands.

They threatened and harassed an elderly man walking down the street with a scooter. They pushed the scooter down and threw unidentified liquids at him.

They yelled, “Get the f**k out of here! You better run motherf**ker! You better run motherf**ker!”

Protesters attacked a middle-aged woman walking with other women and some Trump supporters. A black woman hit the woman in the back of the head.

A black mother with her young children wearing a Blue Lives matter hat and a Trump jacket frantically told police officers she wanted to press charges against her assailants. The assailants cornered her and asked her why she had her children there. She was pushing a child in a stroller and shielding her pre-teen daughter when she was attacked, reported Breitbart News.

Children walking down the street with their family were frightened by the mob and were crying.

BLM and Antifa assaulted, threw eggs and liquids at a young couple trying to walk through the BLM Plaza.  The female cried out in fear.

Breitbart News reported that protestors stomped on an older man’s head after the rally. A black man ran up behind the Trump supporter and bushwacked him making him fall to the ground.

As restaurant-goers were dining outside, Antifa and BLM threw large fireworks and projectiles at them.

New stats reveal massive NYC exodus amid coronavirus, crime

 

More than 300,000 New Yorkers have bailed from the Big Apple in the last eight months, new stats show.

City residents filed 295,103 change of address requests from March 1 through Oct. 31, according to data The Post obtained from the US Postal Service under a Freedom of Information Act request.

Since the data details only when 11 or more forwarding requests were made to a particular county outside NYC, the number of moves is actually higher. And a single address change could represent an entire household, which means far more than 300,000 New Yorkers fled the five boroughs.

Whatever the exact number, the exodus — which began when COVID-19 hit the city in early spring — is much greater than in prior years. From just March through July, there were 244,895 change of address requests to destinations outside of the city, more than double the 101,342 during the same period in 2019.

The escape from New York is fueled not only by coronavirus concerns, but economic worries, school chaos and rising crime, experts say.

Tax filings reveal Biden cancer charity spent millions on salaries, Zero on Research

 


A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.

The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife Jill Biden to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington DC aides it hired.

The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group’s president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019), according to the charity’s most recent federal tax filings.

Simon, a former Pfizer executive and longtime health care lobbyist who headed up the White House’s cancer task force in the Obama administration, saw his salary nearly double from the $224,539 he made in fiscal 2017, tax filings show.

Danielle Carnival, former chief of staff for Obama’s cancer initiative, the Cancer Moonshot Task Force, who took home $258,207 in 2018.

The charity spent $56,738 on conferences and $59,356 on travel that year. The following year, the travel expenditure swelled to $97,149, and the non-profit spent $742,953 on conferences, tax filings show.

But under grants distributed, it listed zero.
