When Cuomo Stabbed Biden in the Back

 Joe Biden’s aides were furious that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo made a self-serving video for the 2020 Democratic National Convention and asked his camp to redo it — but they refused, a new book says.

“Every four years, Democrats asked themselves the same question about the New York governor and former Housing and Urban Development secretary: ‘How is Andrew Cuomo going to f- -k us this time?’’ write the authors of “Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency.’’

At the convention four years earlier, Cuomo had jarred on “for double his allotted time,’’ while his team refused to participate in fact-checking sessions beforehand, the book says.

Then last year, when Cuomo “was supposed to use his credibility to explain why Biden had the best plan for dealing with the pandemic,’’ he instead “recorded something of a tribute to himself,’’ write authors Jonathan Allen of NBC News and Amie Parnes of The Hill.

Cuomo’s team had sent over the video the day of the convention, the tome says.

The governor boasted in the clip, “We climbed the impossible mountain, and right now, we are on the other side.’’

He didn’t utter Biden’s name until 4 minutes and 50 seconds into the video — which was 5 minutes long, the book notes.

“The convention’s speechwriting squad watched in disbelief,’’ the authors write.

“They asked Cuomo’s aides to refilm it. The answer came back: No.’’

A source involved in the convention’s production said of Cuomo’s camp, “They put the speech on our doorstep, lit it on fire, rang the doorbell, and then ran away.”

The authors add, “Cuomo was much more of a headache for Democrats than any of the four Republicans who spoke on the first night — former Ohio governor John Kasich, former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman, former New York representative Susan Molinari and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman.’’

Reps for Cuomo did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment Tuesday on the book’s claims.

Cuomo is now in the fight of his political life amid sex-harassment allegations.

Anglo-Israeli Grandma Goes Viral After Hilarious Interview With Israeli Anchor Rafi Reshef

Effi Hercky, an effervescent 81-year-old Anglo-Israeli never expected to rise to stardom at her stage in life, but a short interview with Israeli anchor Rafi Reshef has catapulted her onto center stage. Hersky’s heavy English accent, bubbly personality and comical interludes (she was interviewed in the gym, flexed her muscles for Reshef and then asked him if he is married) led her interview to go viral. Reshef even granted her a follow-up interview on his show, sensing the popularity she was getting.

Suddenly she is famous but doesn’t find it so comfortable, refusing to give autographs in  Netanya where she lives. Hercky has even been mimicked on a popular comedy show, Eretz Nehderet, in which actors dress up as popular public personalities.

Hercky married a Holocaust survivor and made aliya with him to a kibbutz, but he was killed in a tragic car accident 7 years later and she was left to bring up her children by herself. Yet she projects real joie de vivre and has been volunteering to cheer up patients at the Reut rehabilitation hospital for the past 20 years.

“Life is fun and life is good…and there’s no other place in the world I’d rather live in,” Hercky says about herself.

I24 news interviewed Hersky in English about her newfound celebrity status:

MK Pindrus: ‘IDF Converts Are Shiksas, Whoever Marries Them- His Father Should Sit Shiva’

 The political environment in Israel, never calm before elections, reached a stormy crescendo after MK Yitzchak Pindrus (UTJ) said at a conference Tuesday that “whoever converted under the auspices of the IDF is a ‘shiksa.’ If somebody marries her – his father should sit shiva.”

Rabbi Chaim Amsalem, a Sephardic rabbi who has written a number of books advocating a more lenient approach to conversion for those who have a Jewish parent or grandparent, said that “Pindrus exhibited total ignorance. The IDF conversions are performed by rabbis from the entire rabbinic spectrum, including chareidim and nationalist chareidi rabbis. The same judges sometimes even sit in the rabbinical courts and all is under the auspices of the Chief Rabbinate. Pindrus turned them all into reform converts in one statement.”

Yemina leader Naftali Bennett also condemned Pindrus’s statement: “What a disgrace. Pindrus belittles and insults thousands of IDF soldiers who completed the process of halachic conversion. These soldiers decided to undergo full conversion while serving in the army. I will not let anyone harm them.

MK Zvi Hauser, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defence, said that “it is irritating to see how MK Pindrus forgot that Derech Eretz (ethics) precedes the Torah and wilfully insults thousands of soldiers. Our security and Pindrus’s security is in the hands of those fighting for the eternity of Israel. We cannot humiliate them and exclude them from our camp.”

MK Tehila Friedman said that “Reform conversion doesn’t disturb chareidim but rather any conversion which isn’t chareidi, especially that of the IDF. A soldier who is a Ger Tzedek could be called a shiksa. It’s not the reform but rather the Religious Zionists who are the issue.

In the wake of the criticism, Pindrus’s office issued a clarification, stating that shiksa is meant in the religious sense, “meaning that conversion is only according to halacha and halacha cannot be decided by law or by the court. A conversion which is not according to halacha is invalid and these women are not Jewish.

“Any attempt to take these words out of context and claim that there is contempt for their contribution to the defense of Israel is a distortion, since there are wonderful people protecting us including Druze and Arab soldiers but nobody mistakenly thinks they are Jewish.”

However it should be noted that Pindrus’s clarification does not assuage the criticism against him, as he still claims that the IDF conversions, which take place over an extended period of time and in accordance with halacha, are invalid.

Texas And Other States Lift Mask Requirement, Allow All Businesses To Reopen

 Texas on Tuesday became the biggest state to lift its mask rule, joining a rapidly growing movement by governors and other leaders across the U.S. to loosen COVID-19 restrictions despite pleas from health officials not to let their guard down yet.

The Lone Star State will also do away with limits on the number of diners who can be served indoors, said Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who made the announcement at a restaurant in Lubbock.

The governors of Michigan, Mississippi and Louisiana likewise eased up on bars, restaurants and other businesses Tuesday, as did the mayor of San Francisco.

“Removing statewide mandates does not end personal responsibility,” said Abbott, speaking from a crowded dining room where many of those surrounding him were not wearing masks. “It’s just that now state mandates are no longer needed.”

Foreign News Shows Are Now Raising Questions About Joe Biden’s Cognitive Issues

 

We’ve been reporting on Joe Biden’s issues, Democrats have been trying to avoid talking about them.

But what are some of the folks in the rest of the world thinking about him? They can see everything we’re seeing and see it without having the 24/7 American mainstream media trying to spin it.

Here’s Paul Murray on his show from Australia via Sky News interviewing the NY Post’s Miranda Devine and they spoke about their concerns that he was cognitively impaired.

Murray claimed that Biden was “wilder than Obama was” in terms of some of the policy things he was pushing.

Devine raises the question of who is in charge, describing how Kamala Harris had been making phone calls to foreign leaders. She’s actually met with some of them too. The Biden team says that Biden is trying to help her buff up her foreign policy profile and learn more.

Devine then talks about the interview that Biden had with Univision to talk about how he’d dismantled a lot of the protections at the border that President Donald Trump had in place. He’s asked about reopening up tent facilities in Texas. Biden mentions that “they” reopened one in Texas (but there are others, including one in Florida that he’s reopened). But as he’s trying to say that’s to take care of the unaccompanied minors and seems to lag a little talking about it’s to keep them safe, that’s when “Dr. Jill” butts in and says the difference between that and the prior administration is that they’re doing it “humanely.”

Talk about wrong and completely inappropriate. Why is Jill suddenly interrupting to expound on policy? That’s not her job. Not to mention it’s a ridiculous lie. They’re literally opening the same facility and she’s trying to spin it’s somehow more “humane” because they’re Democrats?

Devine criticized “Dr. Jill’s” interruption saying that she wasn’t elected, she shouldn’t be interrupting.

Devine also pointed out how Biden hasn’t given a press conference in six weeks, he’s made brief comments reading from a teleprompter. She said that “he loses his train of thought” and just “doesn’t seem to comprehend what he is reading.”

If these questions are being raised in the rest of the world by our friends like the Australians, what must our enemies be thinking about all this? And how problematic that thought is to have. That might explain why Iran and the Iranian-backed militias are making troubling moves at this time, in addition to Biden’s moves cozying up to Iran and lifting the terrorist restrictions on the Houthis.

‘Cat Not in Hat’ – Biden erases Dr. Seuss from ‘Read Across America’ proclamation as progressives seek to cancel beloved author

 

President Biden appears to have erased Dr. Seuss from “Read Across America Day”, the annual celebration of reading in honor of the legendary children’s author, whose birthday falls on March 2.

While Biden followed presidential tradition in proclaiming Tuesday “Read Across America Day,” he bucked his predecessors by leaving out any mention of Dr. Seuss from the proclamation.

The White House didn’t immediately return a request for comment on why Dr. Seuss was left out of the proclamation, but the snub comes as progressives have sought to cancel the beloved children’s author. 

One of Virginia’s biggest school districts, Loudoun County Public Schools, reportedly nixed Dr. Seuss from the school’s “Read Across America Day” celebration, citing alleged racial “undertones” in his children’s books.

Former President Barack Obama and former President Donald Trump both highlighted Dr. Seuss’ contributions in their annual proclamations, a Fox News review of White House archives found.

“The works of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to us as Dr. Seuss, have sparked a love for reading in generations of students.,” Obama said in his 2015 proclamation. “His whimsical wordplay and curious characters inspire children to dream big and remind readers of all ages that ‘a person’s a person no matter how small.” 

Obama’s 2016 proclamation described Seuss as “one of America’s revered wordsmiths” who “used his incredible talent to instill in his most impressionable readers universal values we all hold dear.” 

Trump, in his 2018 proclamation, urged Americans to “always remember the still-vibrant words of Dr. Seuss: ‘You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.'”

BIDEN BUSTS BORDER WIDE OPEN-FLOODS U.S. WITH DISEASED, POOR UNSKILLED WELFARE CASES

 

Asylum seekers from a migrant camp of at least 700 in Matamoros, Mexico, just across the river from Brownsville, Texas, have been filing into the United States after President Joe Biden overturned his predecessor Donald Trump’s tough immigration policies, the Daily Mail has reported.

A week ago, the Biden administration started allowing those in the Migrant Protection Protocols program to enter the U.S. to pursue their court cases, reversing Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” program he started two years ago that has sent more than 69,000 people back over the border while waiting for their cases to be processed.

Migrants are now hopeful that by crossing into the U.S., their cases will be dealt with more quickly, and it will be difficult to deport them under asylum rules.

Migrants are now hopeful that by crossing into the U.S., their cases will be dealt with more quickly, and it will be difficult to deport them under asylum rules. 

Biden is attempting to balance pressure from immigration advocates to completely get rid of Trump’s hardline policies at the same time there is concern about migrants arriving at the border in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

“There are no good choices here,” Biden said over the weekend. “The only other options are to send kids back, which is what the prior administration did.”

But as the arriving migrants empty out one tent city, the increased hope that it is possible to enter the U.S. has led migrants to set up another such encampment near the border.

Israeli Supreme Court Recognizes Reform, Conservative Converts As Jews Regarding Law Of Return

Yup... now the "Medina" haters will be coming out from under the rocks like roaches when you open the lights..

Of course, I am against this decision, but this will overturned by the Knesset ....

But I'll shock you ... by saying that this is really not about who is a Jew. It is about who can legally become a citizen of Israel. The Torah already told  us who is  Jew. The law is based upon who Hitler ym"s would have murdered for being Jewish and based on that they qualify! 

 In a landmark ruling, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled Monday that conversion performed by the Reform and Conservative movements in Israel will be recognized by the state of Israel for the purposes of granting citizenship to the converts in accordance with the Law of Return.

The nine-judge panel ruled that the conversions would be valid for obtaining citizenship ending a 15-year legal battle regarding the issue. The court stressed that its ruling had no religious implications and only dealt with the right to receive citizenship in Israel. Judge Noam Solberg, a religious Jew, dissented on the decision, preferring to delay the implementation until 12 months after the swearing-in of a new government, when it could be reviewed by the legal and executive branches of the government.

However the other justices noted that the Knesset had not acted during the entire 15-year period to resolve the issue and that therefore they needed to step in and resolve the issue. The court however added that the ruling would only apply as long as the Knesset did not pass a law denying the Jewishness of non-orthodox converts.

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid welcomed the decision. “Israel must have complete equality of rights for all streams of Judaism – Orthodox, Reform or Conservative. We need to live here together with tolerance and mutual respect,” he said in a statement.

However coalition leader Miki Zohar called the decision “scandalous”, adding that it would be a disaster since “any person around the world will approach a reform rabbi and receive a permit to immigrate within 30 days. It is clear that within a short time, Israel will not be Jewish or democratic. Today more than ever the public must decide who will manage the country, the government or the Supreme Court.”

Shas leader and Interior Minister Aryeh Deri called the court decision “wrong and very unfortunate.”

“It will will cause controversy and a severe rift among the Jewish people,” Deri wrote on Twitter. “I undertake to amend the law so that only conversion according to Halacha will be recognized in the State of Israel.”

Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef commented that reform conversions are “not conversions but rather a forgery.”

Numerous chareidi MKs expressed their strong opposition to the court’s ruling, stressing that it would endanger the Jewish nature of the state of Israel.

Bernie Sanders: Modern History’s Biggest Jewish Anti-Semite

In 1144 in Norwich, England, the world was formally introduced to the concept of a “Jewish Blood Libel”; the anti-Semitic practice of blaming the death of non-Jews on the Jewish people as a justification for persecuting the Jews. In the 12th century, the horrific myth was that Jews use the blood of Christian children in the Passover matza. Not only was this claim ludicrous on every level (the Torah prohibits us from consuming even the tiniest amount of blood), it was used as an excuse by anti-Semites to kill Jews at every opportunity.

Blood libels have continued for the last thousand years in one form or another, and culminated in the 20thcentury with the Holocaust. The practice emerges today in the words of “the squad” in Congress, in the disgusting recent comments of Michael Che on Saturday Night Live, and in the hate-filled rhetoric of the organizations of BLM and the Movement for Black Lives.

But never in history has this type of vitriolic anti-Semitic behavior been practiced by a Jew.

Until now.

Enter Bernie Sanders, a man raised as a child in Brooklyn with a traditional Jewish education and Bar Mitzvah. No matter how he lives his life, as a man with a Jewish mother (his parents were Jewish Polish immigrants), Bernie Sanders is Jewish.

Which is why his virulent, self-hating anti-Semitism is so disgusting.  It has been true throughout his career as he has consistently rejected Judaism and Judeo-Christian principles in favor of socialism.  He has called Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu a “racist” and used every opportunity to divert American funding from Israel.  He has sought and received the endorsements of hate-filled anti-Semites like Omar, Tlaib, and Keith Ellison.  But he has now taken his self-loathing to a whole new level and has the honor of being the most self-hating Jewish anti-Semite in history.

He has recently made the blood libel claim that the nation of Israel is purposefully killing Palestinians. This is a blatant lie designed exclusively to promote anti-Semitism. Even the smallest amount of research would demonstrate Sanders’ lack of honesty and integrity. 

Although the Oslo accords were explicitly clear that health care in Gaza and the West Bank are the responsibility of the Palestinian Authority and the P.A.’s leader Mahmoud Abbas has made it clear that he does not want Israeli help with vaccinations, Crazy Bernie is promoting the idea that Israel is killing non-Jews by refusing to distribute a COVID-19 vaccine.

His blood libel lie is even more insidious than what was said in the 12th century, and because of his position on the national stage, it is even more dangerous.

And it is blatantly a lie. 

Although the Palestinians neither asked nor required them to do so, the Israelis have already vaccinated thousands of Palestinians and have just cemented an agreement to vaccinate another 100,000 Palestinians who work in Israel. But the actual truth is inconvenient to the liar from Vermont as it won’t help him with his anti-Semitic supporters like Omar and Tlaib.

Exactly a year ago, I warned that Bernie Sanders would be the worst president in history for all people of faith, and especially for American Jews. Given his most recent adoption of the blood libel of blaming Jews for the deaths of non-Jews, Sanders has truly become the most powerful self-hating Jew in history (and that says a lot when we remember that Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky were both born Jewish).

Pope Francis Predicts the Possibility of a second Mabul, like that of Noah’s time, if humanity fails to address global warming.

 

“God’s wrath is directed against injustice, against Satan,” the pope states in a book titled Of Vices and Virtues due for release Tuesday. “It is directed against evil, not that which derives from human weakness, but evil of Satanic inspiration: the corruption generated by Satan.”

“The biblical flood, according to experts, is a mythical tale,” the pope states, parenthetically adding his hope that no one writes that “the pope says the Bible is a myth.”

“But myth is a form of knowledge,” he says. “The flood is a historical tale, archaeologists say, because they found traces of a flood in their excavations.”

“A great flood, perhaps due to a rise in temperature and the melting of the glaciers, is what will happen now if we continue along the same path,” the pope warns.

“God unleashed his wrath, but he saw a righteous one, took him and saved him,” he says. “The story of Noah demonstrates that God’s wrath is also salvific.”

The pope’s new book recounts conversations between the pontiff and Father Marco Pozza, chaplain of the prison of Padua in the north of Italy.

Francis has made care for the environment and opposition to climate change a hallmark of his almost eight-year pontificate, taking to task world leaders who have shown too little resolve in their battle against global warming.

He said last year that it is “evident” that climate change is to blame for a number of humanity’s social ills, as well as disrupting the balance of nature.

Meanwhile in Williamsburg Chassidim Burn the Flag that Represents Every Single Jew

Every single Jew? 

Does the Zionist flag represent Satmar? The Neturei Karta? 

Yes absolutely... ask any member of the Nazi party or any anti-Semite for that matter, and ask them what the Israeli Flag represents?

Every single one will answer that it represents the Jewish people..

Now tell them that there are groups of Chareidie & Reform Jews that are anti the State ... what do you think now? 

They will answer that the flag represents them too...

In fact the flag not only represents close to 6 million Jews living in Israel, whether they like it or not .. it represents every single Jew that lives anywhere in the world... 

The flag represents Zionists, Satmar, Neturei Karta, Reform Jews, Jews that support BLM,  BDS and even the LGBT Jews ...

So what do the Chareidim do on Purim in Williamsburg ? They burn the flag that every single goy would say represents them! 

Well they have come along way from when they hung the Lubavitcher Rebbe in Effigy which they did a couple of years ago ... they wouldn't do it now because Satmar business people that travel the world need a place where they can fress kosher food, so they now embrace Chabad!

What to do about unmasked El Al passengers?

by Tuvia Book

 I recently returned home to Israel on a so-called “rescue” flight. (Another name could be, “Israeli citizens legitimately returning home” flight). I witnessed shocking scenes of a sizeable minority of the Ultra-Orthodox passengers, including the person next to me, constantly removing their masks.

I and other passengers repeatedly asked these individuals very politely to please wear their masks. The El Al crew also asked them. The result usually was that they would put it on for a few minutes and then remove it. Then there were the prayers. Apparently, there is a perceived Divine dispensation when one is praying to do so without a mask, for as long as one wants. In exasperation one of the El Al crew members was reduced to threatening one particularly stubborn Ultra-Orthodox individual that unless he put his mask on there would be police waiting at Ben Gurion for him. The aforementioned individual put his mask on…for five entire minutes.

What I personally witnessed, in addition to what was reported in the press this week about the consistent flouting of the mask rules by certain members of the Ultra-Orthodox community is a massive “hillul Hashem” (desecration of God’s name) in addition to a threat to the safety of not just other passengers, but indeed to the entire state of Israel. The Times of Israel reported the following:

A passenger told Channel 12 that the ultra-Orthodox passengers failed to wear masks for much of the time and stood near other passengers. He says repeated requests to flight attendants to enforce mask-wearing and distancing did not help, and that the latter were afraid of confronting the Haredi passengers on the matter.

There is a simple solution to this problem. There should be a representative of the Israeli Police on every flight. Every time someone is warned and still refuses to wear a mask, there should be a heavy, on-the-spot, fine issued. Upon arrival at Ben Gurion airport they should be detained, and not allowed to leave, until the fine has been paid in full and they receive a court summons. If they refuse to pay the fine, then they should be put on the next flight back to where they came from. In addition, they should also be put on a “no-fly “ list for a considerable time period. One who does not respect the laws of the country, or indeed their fellow human beings, has forfeited the right to enter this country. These laws should be explained clearly to the passengers before the flight and everyone should sign an agreement of understanding.

I know that this sounds harsh, but you were not on that flight with me. The sheer disdain and hubris of these individuals, who seem to believe that they are better than others of God’s creations and that the rules do not apply to them, was only matched by the frustration and fear of the other passengers. There is no reason for this, and it should not be tolerated! I should not have to move my seat (which I did) because the person next to me refuses to comply with the rule of law and order. If the carrot does not work, it is time for the stick. A police representative on every flight is the simple solution.
