John Roberts’ refusal to sit for Trump impeachment sparks constitutional concerns

Chief Justice John Roberts’ refusal to preside over former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial is raising questions about whether he views the first-of-its-kind proceedings as constitutional.

The Supreme Court has been declining to comment when reached by The Post, as well as other outlets, on why its top jurist will not take part in the historic trial.

Speaking to MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Monday evening, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed that Roberts “did not want” to take part in the trial.

“The Constitution says the chief justice presides for a sitting president,” the top-ranking senator said. “So it was up to John Roberts whether he wanted to preside with a president who is no longer sitting, Trump, and he doesn’t want to do it.”

Roberts has not offered any comment on his role in a second impeachment trial since the House of Representatives voted in favor of taking the matter to trial in the Senate earlier this month.

That silence has been noted by those opposed to impeaching a former president.

Say "China Virus" And you Could Lose Your Job ... Biden Signs Executive Order

 President Joe Biden has issued an executive order banning the use of terms such as “China virus” and “Wuhan virus” when referring to COVID-19.

The order applies to federal agencies and public health documents and resources.

Former President Trump routinely called COVID the “China virus” or and other conservatives linked it to Wuhan, China where the virus is thought to have originated in a government lab. Trump blamed China for the global coronavirus pandemic.

“I Broke Down:” ID Tags Of Children At Sobibor Death Camp Unearthed

The identity tag of Deddie Zak (Yoram Haimi), pictured (l) with a relative. 

 Archaeologists carrying out an excavation dig at the Sobibor death camp in Poland unearthed the identity tags of four Jewish children murdered there during the Holocaust, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Tuesday.

The discovery left the archeologists in tears.

The four metal personal identity tags belonging to four Dutch children – ranging in age from 5-12, bore their names, their dates of birth, and their hometowns: Lea Judith De La Penha, Deddie Zak, Annie Kapper and David Juda Van der Velde.

“As far as we know, identity tags with children’s names have only been found at Sobibor, and nowhere else,” said Yoram Haimi of the Israel Antiquities Authority, who is involved in an excavation at the site prior to the construction of a new visitors center, together with a Polish archaeologist, a Dutch archaeologist and local residents.

Rand Paul calls Trump impeachment trial ‘dead on arrival’ after 45 GOP senators vote against it

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul declared former President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial "dead on arrival" on Tuesday after 45 Senate Republicans voted against holding the proceeding, viewing it as unconstitutional.

Rand, a Kentucky Republican, had called for a procedural vote regarding holding a trial, claiming the Senate shouldn’t address the article of impeachment against Trump filed by the House this month because Trump is now out of office.

Five GOP senators voted not to dismiss the impeachment trial of President Trump: Susan Collins, Maine, Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, Ben Sasse, Neb., and Pat Toomey, Pa., and Mitt Romney, Utah. They voted with all 50 Democrat senators to table the point of order. 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has indicated he has an open mind on whether Trump should be convicted, voted against ending debate.

The Brennan's, The Schiffs Are Domestic Enemies of the USA ... Tulsi Gabbard

— Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 (@TulsiGabbard) January 26, 2021

 Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, made headlines on Tuesday for asserting in a social media video that Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former CIA Director John Brennan should be considered "domestic enemies" of the U.S., deeming them a greater danger to the country than the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6.

Gabbard doubled down on her comments on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Tuesday. During her appearance, she denounced the violent demonstrators, but warned of efforts to combat domestic insurgents through surveillance and other monitoring activities.

 "We recognize that those who stormed the Capitol on January 6 trying to stop Congress from fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities, they were acting as domestic terrorists undermining our Constitution," Gabbard told host Tucker Carlson.

"[However,] those like John Brennan, Adam Schiff and others are also acting as domestic terrorists because they are also undermining our constitution by trying to take away our civil liberties and rights that are guaranteed to us," she added.

U.S. Announces Restoration Of Relations With Palestinians,,,the ones paying salaries to those who murder Jewish mothers and children

 

U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration announced Tuesday it was restoring relations with the Palestinians and renewing aid to Palestinian refugees, a reversal of the Trump administration’s cutoff and a key element of its new support for a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

Acting U.S. Ambassador Richard Mills made the announcement of Biden’s approach to a high-level virtual Security Council meeting, saying the new U.S. administration believes this “remains the best way to ensure Israel’s future as a democratic and Jewish state while upholding the Palestinians’ legitimate aspirations for a state of their own and to live with dignity and security.”

President Donald Trump’s administration provided unprecedented support to Israel, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv, slashing financial assistance for the Palestinians and reversing course on the illegitimacy of Israeli settlements on land claimed by the Palestinians.

Chareidie Parent Writes Open Letter About "Chareidie Rioters" .."Woe to The Father that Taught Him Torah" "Who to the Rebbe That Taught Him Torah"

 

I don't have the time to translate this ... maybe later ... try later..

But to summarise... he is saying is that the "rioters" are ALL yeshiva bochrim learning Torah ... all of them ...

And he writes that its time to stop blaming the police ..he blames the Rabbanim who are either ignoring it or making light of it...

He writes that the ones throwing rocks and burning buses are all Torah learners some of them from the finest families...

He states that those Torah Learners that scream "nazi" on police can never be forgiven ... never!

He asks "where did we go wrong" that our children "our own blood and flesh" have grown up without any Derech Eretz...

He adds...that to blame others is not being very smart... we must look into our own communities and root out these evil acts

The Polish Descendants of Murderers Are Accusing The Israeli Holocaust Museum of Illegally smuggling Tefillin Artifacts from Warsaw

 

Only in the theater of the absurd can this make any sense!

These "willing executioners" are complaining that Jews took back what belongs to them..unbelievable ....

The city of Warsaw has accused an Israeli Holocaust museum of being involved in the smuggling out of Poland of Jewish prayer artifacts that the museum said were found inside an old bunker in the Polish capital.

The Shem Olam museum near Hadera announced this week that it had obtained 10 sets of tefillin, a religious object worn during morning prayers, found by construction workers in Warsaw near the entrance to a bunker dug by Jewish fighters in preparation for the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

The City of Warsaw has no knowledge of the find, a spokeswoman, Karolina Gałecka, said in a statement. She said that meant that if Shem Olam’s is telling the truth about what it obtained and where, “a crime has occurred” because Poland requires anyone who finds archeological items to report their discovery to authorities.

Multiple Polish Holocaust museums also decried Shem Olam’s reported acquisition. The Jewish Historical Institute, the Warsaw Ghetto Museum and the Polin Jewish museum is Warsaw made a joint statement expressing their “outrage” over Shem Olam’s alleged actions, which the directors of all three institutions said may have been the result of “illegal trade.”

Israel Hayom, an Israeli newspaper that reported about Shem Olam’s acquisition, said the museum “secretly contacted the construction workers” and worked with them to obscure the find from Polish authorities.

Rabbi Avraham Krieger, Shem Olam’s director, declined to respond directly to the allegations. But he told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that “nobody else knows how [the find] got to us except for a few sentences in a newspaper that are trying to magnify this.” He also said Judaica artifacts, including from the Warsaw Ghetto, are widely available for sale in Polish antique stores and online.

Biden Getting Crueler Every Day ....Giving Free Vaccines to Other Nations Before US Reaches Herd Immunity

 

On Thursday, Anthony Fauci informed the World Health Organization that the Biden administration will participate in WHO’s vaccine-sharing project. That reverses President Donald Trump’s America First approach. Fauci says the goal is to ensure “equitable access” to vaccines for all countries in the world, rich and poor alike.

Americans scrambling to get vaccinated have a right to know how sharing doses with poor countries will affect their own ability to get vaccinated.

President Biden has been under pressure from the public-health community to share the vaccine supply the United States has pre-purchased even before all Americans who want shots receive them.

The vaccine-sharing project, with the acronym COVAX, raises money to buy vaccines for poor countries but also asks wealthier countries to donate actual doses. The COVAX dose-sharing principles, released Dec. 18, are causing controversy in France, England, Canada and other countries struggling to get their own populations vaccinated. COVAX wants countries to share their doses as they receive them, rather than wait to see what’s left over. So far, Norway has agreed.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says it’s unfair for younger, healthy adults in countries like the United States to get injections before the frail and elderly in poor countries. He calls it a “catastrophic moral failure.”

Similarly, Kate Elder of Doctors Without Borders objects “if a healthy 20-year-old in New Jersey is getting vaccinated before a frontline health-care worker in South Sudan.”

Impeaching Trump Gets More Dvisive by the Minute: Goodwin

 

Apparently believing his first week in the White House has been flawless and the public will be extra patient with him, Joe Biden did a very foolish thing. He decided to ride the tiger of impeachment. 

“I think it has to happen,” the president said in a brief TV interview about his party’s bid to try Donald Trump. Biden conceded a Senate trial would slow confirmation of his nominees and passage of legislation tied to pandemic relief, but insisted there would be “a worse effect if it didn’t happen.” 

He doesn’t say what could be worse, but let’s take a guess: Democrats obsessed with getting revenge on Trump would get furious at Biden. That’s the only possible answer because only Democrats would revolt if Trump were not put in the dock. 

Chalk it up to another example of Biden having trouble with the transition from partisan candidate to president. You might remember his promise to work for all Americans, no matter how they voted, but he’s already forgotten it. His dozens of executive orders and pronouncements show he’s working only for left-wing Dems.

British "Goy" Photographer Describes Ordeal At Chareidi Mask-Free Weddings

 

 A British gentile photographer spoke to the London-based Jewish Chronicle about her ordeal in covering illicit Covid weddings for Chareidim, stating that she had stopped working after attending a 300-person Chareidi reception where most people were not wearing masks.

Marisa D’Alessandro, 55, a freelance photographer at events, was hired to take photos of around a dozen Charedi weddings in June, July and October of last year.

“I assumed that they were abiding by the rules, that everyone would be wearing masks and be socially distanced because that was what the advice was at the time.

“I got to these venues utterly shocked to see no one was wearing a mask, except me, and they’re all looking at me like I’m mad,” D’Allessandro said.

Despite the lack of adherence to rules, the receptions got bigger and bigger as time went by. The last one she attended was a 300-person affair in Stamford Hill in October. Police arrived to break up the gathering, but guests simply grabbed masks and relocated to another venue which had been prepared for such an event.

“The caterer was whipping the tablecloth up, folding the tables up to make it look like there were fewer people at the wedding. It was like watching a comedy show,” D’Allessandro said, adding that she realized what she was doing was wrong.

“I should not have attended wedding.From June, I should have said ‘no’, but I didn’t.

“I just saw the weddings getting bigger and bigger and worse and worse with regards to respecting the regulations. Now if this virus is to be under control then these weddings have to stop.”

As Chareidim Keep Denying that There is a Virus a Woman Dies In Ambulance As All J-m Hospitals Are Full And Couldn't Accept New Patients!

 

A day after a coronavirus patient died in an ambulance after all the hospitals in Jerusalem refused to accept her due to lack of room, a Channel 12 News report on Monday said that over 200 ambulances with virus patients had to wait for several hours outside hospitals while staff scrambled to free up beds.

When patients were finally admitted, some found themselves in beds in the emergency room rather than the coronavirus ward – simply because the emergency room was the only place empty beds could be found, the report said.

On Sunday, MDA commissioner Eli Bin told Army Radio that an elderly nursing home resident suffering severe respiratory difficulties passed away on Sunday after no hospital in Jerusalem agreed to accept her due to lack of room. Although the ambulance medical crew did their best to treat her in the ambulance, she sadly passed away before she could be admitted anywhere.

An ambulance driver told Arutz Sheva that Jerusalem hospitals have no room for more virus patients and drivers are being requested to bring patients to hospitals in central Israel. “This leads to a situation in which many ambulances are tied up in transport as opposed to response,” he said.

Unfortunately, hospitals in central Israel are also beginning to fill up beyond capacity. Wolfson Medical Center in Holon announced at the beginning of the week that it can no longer accept new coronavirus patients.

“Student K.” Alive and Healthy at 97 May be the One Who Murdered Jewish Children by Smashing Their Heads Together in Lithuania

 by  Efraim Zuroff

This is a story about a Nazi war crimes investigation that began in 1945 and continued intermittently until 2021. It concerns the brutal murder of Jewish infants in Raseiniai (Rasein in Yiddish and Hebrew), Lithuania, and is a good example of why, even today, it is still important to try and achieve justice. This week we observe the International Holocaust Remembrance Day mandated by the United Nations in 2005, and therefore it is an especially appropriate time to share this episode in the ongoing efforts to hold the perpetrators of Holocaust crimes accountable.

In 1945, Leib Kunichowsky, a Lithuanian Jewish survivor of the Kovno (Kaunas) Ghetto, began to record the testimonies of the few Holocaust survivors from the local provincial communities. This was a particularly important mission in view of the extremely high murder rate in those towns and villages. Of the 220,000 Jews who lived in Lithuania under the Nazi occupation, 96.4% (212,000) had been murdered, but most of the survivors were from the large ghettos of Vilna (Vilnius), Kovno (Kaunas), and Shavli (Siauliai). Approximately 100,000 Jews lived in the provincial communities, which had been so terribly decimated at an even higher rate. For the next four years, initially in Lithuania and later in the Displaced Persons camps in Allied-occupied Germany, Kunichowsky sought out the few survivors and recorded their testimonies in Yiddish in longhand, making sure that both he and the survivors personally signed each and every page. The result of this mission was a collection of 1,684 pages of testimony in Yiddish that contained much priceless information about the fate of the provincial Jews.

Biden "The Lunatic" Considering Diverting COVID-19 Funds To Climate Change Programs

 

The Biden administration is considering authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to allocate COVID-19 funding for climate change projects, The New York Times reported Monday.

The plan would reallocate part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) overall disaster budget to projects designed to preemptively address damage from climate disasters, The Times reported. The agency wants to build seawalls and elevate or relocate homes in flood planes with the reallocated funds.

FEMA plans to include funding allocated for COVID-19 response in its restructuring of the budget, according to The Times. FEMA Acting Deputy Associate Administrator for Disaster Mitigation Michael M. Grimm said that an initial estimate found $3.7 billion that could go to the program to address climate change with the potential for more later on.

The total amount of funding could reach $10 million if COVID-19 resources are directed towards the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, though Grimm said the decision to include pandemic relief funds has not yet been made, The Times reported. The proposal would give FEMA access to draw from the government’s dedicated disaster fund and would not necessarily mean reducing available funding for COVID-19 response.

Why do I have to be scared to publish this?

I am taking a risk in writing what I want to write. I don’t know who I’m writing for. Charedim who read this might get upset at me. Non-Charedim can’t do anything about it anyways.

The past few days in Israel have seen cases of extremist violence on the part of the Charedi community.  Most of it has been in response to police enforcement of Covid restrictions, although there have also been other causes.

Today, several Charedi MKs gave speeches at the Knesset condemning the violence, and also emphasizing that the violence is coming from the fringes of the community. There is a movement to get a letter signed by prominent rabbis condemning the violence and instructing people to keep away from the demonstrations.

And I ask, who are we fooling? Yes, of course, the average Charedi on the street probably isn’t participating in the demonstrations. I would imagine that many of them aren’t the greatest supporters of them. But is it really a fringe phenomenon?

Is Vizhnitz-Merkaz, where undercover officers and an unmarked police car were attacked, a fringe group? 

When it comes to elections, will UTJ care less about campaigning there than any other Chassidus? 

Are the rabbis who signed against taking the Covid vaccine fringe rabbis? 

Was the responsa pamphlet full of conspiracy theories that we all found distributed last week in our shuls written by a fringe Halachic authority? 

Does the average person in our community really believe that there is such a thing as Covid, as much as they believe that it’s a secret government plot to close the Charedi school system and cause our children to stray? Or that the vaccine might be a population-control device being pushed by Bill Gates?

How many people have been convinced that the Light Rail train down Bar-Ilan is a secret government plan to secularize Charedim by forcing them to be exposed to secular Jews every day with a train going down their street? Enough to gather just the fringe to violent protests on Bar-Ilan, complete with destroying tractors and other equipment.

When so many of us live in a siege mentality, as much as our Palestinian neighbors, of course the only way to respond to our tormentors is with violence. Not all of us, but too many of us have been told day after day how the Zionists are trying to destroy us and our way of life, that everything they do is only for the purpose of destroying Torah, and that we can’t trust anything that the Zionists say or do. It’s not uncommon to hear the sentiment that the Zionists never mean our good, and that they all hate us and are plotting against us. And the only way to fight back is with violence.

Even if you claim that all of those teens don’t really believe all of that nonsense, that they’re just bored fringe, why do we have so many bored teens that find an outlet in violence? Why are the teens in Ramat Gan who don’t have secret schools operating, why are they not so bored as our teens?

Why do our kids think that they are modern-day Maccabees, learning Torah under the noses of the Zionist Hellenists out to destroy the Torah, ready to take to arms to defend the Torah with violence if necessary? 

Why do so many adults who don’t participate directly in the demonstrations still identify with the cause?

Why do I have to be scared to publish this? Why do I have to be scared to say the truth that all of us know anyways?

Should a Guy That Committed a Crime Sit and Rot in Prison?

 In Hebrew

        

הפרשה השלישית של חומש שמות, בא, סוקרת את שלוש המכות האחרונות שה׳ מביא על המצרים - ארבה, חושך ובכורות.

לאחר מכת בכורות מסכים סוף סוף פרעה לשלח את עם ישראל לחופשי.

ה׳ מצווה על ישראל לציין את יציאת מצרים מדי שנה בשנה בחג הפסח. מאסטרטגיה לפעולה, מעשר מכות ליציאה ממצרים, מחזון וחלומות לגאולה שלמה, התכנון חשוב, אבל ברור שחייבים קודם כל להיפטר מהפחד, מפרעה קשה העורף ולדעת שאנחנו אף פעם לא לבד במערכה. הקב"ה תמיד איתנו עבור המטרות הגדולות – יש לנו גב חזק, בטוח ומבטיח ואת זה חשוב לזכור, בתוך כל ההכנות מצידנו. ה' רוצה שדווקא בעולם הגשמי והתחתון, יתגלה אורו הגדול בעולם. זוהי גם מטרת הגלות ויציאת מצרים.

הפרשה המספרת על הגאולה נפתחת בציווי "בא אל פרעה". שם הפרשה מצביע לכאורה על כך שמשה רבנו היה זקוק לפרעה ולא להפך, עד שה' מצווה אותו לבוא אל פרעה. למה מזמין ה׳ את משה לבוא איתו והרי משה נפגש עם פרעה לבד כבר כמה פעמים? משה מפחד להיכנס לביתו של פרעה, כפי שהוא, בשיא תוקפו, כי השורש של האיש הפרוע הזה הוא שורש קדוש באור אינסופי של הבורא וזו גם הסיבה שה׳ אומר לו: "בא" –בא איתי!

המשימה היא לפזר אור, להוסיף בלימוד התורה, בקיום המצוות ובהפצת המעיינות לנשים ולילדים, כי לנשים יש יכולת התחברות לאין סוף העוצמתי וכך לא ליפול במצבים של גזירות ולצאת מהן, כך יוצא שההשפעה שלהן גדולה יותר. כל שבוע הן מפיצות את אור הקדושה בעולם בהדלקת נר שבת ומכיוון שכוחן של נשים בדיבור, המשימה המוטלת עלינו היא הפצת האור בעולם הדיבור והמעשה

מינדי בוקשפן, יו"ר עמותת דרור למשפחה - עמותה שמסייעת לילדי ומשפחות של אסירים באה להתארח אצלנו באולפן וסיפרה על הסיבה האישית להקמת העמותה, האתגרים של המשפחה הנותרת מאחור, איך באים עם זה לסביבה, מה אומרים לילדים, מה אומרים לסביבה, אופי הקשר עם בני המשפחה של האסירים (למה שלסביבה יהיה אכפת ממישהו שפשע).

היא שיתפה באיחולים אישיים שלה לנשים שהבעל שלהן במצב קשה כמו כלא או מחלה ובכלל, לנשות ישראל.

Did Biden Just Place a Hamas Sympathiser- Anti-Israel BDS Activist in Charge of Intelligence?

 "Why Is Georgetown Providing a Platform for This Dangerous Group?" an op-ed in the Washington Post had asked. 

The group was the Palestine Solidarity Movement, a BDS anti-Israel hate group whose conferences had a history of antisemitism, supporting Hamas and the murder of Jews.

Maher Bitar, one of the executive board members of Students for Justice in Palestine, was one of the principal organizers of the 2006 conference which was being hosted by Georgetown University's SJP hate group. A photo appears to show him dancing in a keffiyah in front of a banner reading, “Divest from Israel Apartheid”. 

Despite protests from Jewish groups, the Georgetown BDS conference went ahead 

Now, Biden has picked Maher Bitar as the Senior Director for Intelligence on the NSC.
