How Obama Got Ilhan Omar Elected!
Obama imported 70,000 Somali immigrants and put them in Minnesota, where nearly all clustered in a single area, specifically, the Fifth Congressional District. That District recently was identified by the FBI as America’s terrorist recruitment capital and is represented by Ilhan…

Biden’s cabinet was a masterclass in bureaucratic failure
Joe Biden had 9 cabinet meetings in 4 years. He needed the Easter Bunny to figure out where he needed to go, he shook hands with the air. No one has any idea who was running the country.

Time's up Harvard is about to get its clock cleaned by no-nonsense Trump & Co.
Tariffs are consuming so many headlines that you might have missed how Harvard, the pinnacle of the Ivy League, is struggling to come to terms with a simple, undeniable reality: It’s about to get its clock cleaned by Donald J. Trump.
Trump & Co., are sick of the antics of the Ivies — their blatant disregard for the law by looking to consider race in admissions, the far left tilt of the professoriate, and of course their acceptance of blatant antisemitic protests that erupted in support of one of the most heinous crimes in history, the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis by Hamas.
Qatar Sabotaged Hostage Deal To Secure Better Terms For Hamas

Qatari officials supported Hamas in rejecting the most recent Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire/hostage release, Israeli media outlets reported on Sunday.
According to the report, Qatar pressured Hamas not to accept the proposal, claiming that the terror group would receive a better offer in the future.
Israeli senior officials said that Qatar’s “assistance” in mediation efforts has been hindering progress in the talks, adding that it would be preferable to work solely with Egypt.
According to the reports, if it wasn’t for Qatar’s interference, it is possible that Hamas would have accepted the most recent Egyptian proposal due to the increased IDF pressure in Gaza, the blockage of humanitarian aid into the Strip, and intense diplomatic pressure applied by Egypt and PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
Ynet reported that contrary to the public perception that the war in Gaza is stagnating, recent IDF operations in Gaza have succeeded in creating pressure on Hamas to accept a partial deal that will see the release of some hostages.
The Saudi Al-Hadath media outlet reported on Sunday that Egypt has demanded that Hamas provide a full report on the hostages’ conditions by early May.

The time has finally come: Chareidie brothers, come and enlist
By Yigal Brand
Translated from Hebrew!
We are in the midst of a historic change. No less. Anyone who opens their eyes knows: Without ultra-Orthodox conscription, we will not be able to hold the next front lines. It's not a matter of ideology, but of existence. Not to enlist in order to promote equality of burden, not to win old arguments, but simply because the country is in danger – and the army needs you.
The public debate surrounding the conscription law is full of lies, slogans, and populism. There are those who prefer to turn the ultra-Orthodox into enemies, to shout 'exclusion of women,' 'a halachic state,' and 'sell the state to the ultra-Orthodox,' instead of rolling up their sleeves and building a real, smart, and feasible model for ultra-Orthodox recruitment. There are those who prefer to earn a few more likes on Twitter or another round on the radio – instead of sitting behind closed doors and building agreements. There are those who want to fight. We want you.
To all the detractors, you should know: this is no longer a concept. We're not in 2018. We are after the 7th of October. The State of Israel has woken up. There is no more room for a 'small and smart army,' there is no more room for excuses. In order to defeat the enemies from within and without, we need you.
To be honest, for many years the ultra-Orthodox did not believe that the state really wanted them in the army. And it didn't just happen. There were those who made sure to give them an image of a 'problem'. Now? You already understand that this is not just a question of citizenship, but of national responsibility. And when there is a real process within the ultra-Orthodox public, we have to support it, not sabotage it.
You can't break a seventy-year-old social taboo in one day. But what is possible is to build tailored tracks and set sanctions for those who evade. Enlistment Day for the Hasmonean Brigade. Photo: IDF Spokesperson
Of course, it's not easy. You can't forcibly recruit soldiers for combat. You can't break a seventy-year-old social taboo in one day. But what is possible is to build tailored tracks, to set sanctions for those who evade, to give incentives to those who enlist, and to lead a poignant, honest and complex discourse that understands the depth of the challenge and knows that at the end there is hope.
The ultra-Orthodox public will not become religious Zionism. And that's perfectly fine. We don't need it. They need to come and serve – because this is the minimum required of every citizen of the State of Israel. And we must say this without shame: Whoever serves should receive more. It's not discrimination – it's morality. This is not coercion – it is the way of the land.
We will not be deterred by the political turmoil. No interrogators in committees and no shouting in the studios. We know what is right for the country – and we will do it. If necessary, we will pay a political price. If necessary, we will fight with all our might. But we will not succumb to populism.
This is the moment. This is the time. The time has come for all of us to walk together – ultra-Orthodox, religious, secular – on a common path. Not a war for identity, but for existence.
Be Like Yehoshua and Caleb Instead of the Rest of the Meraglim!
by Yonatan Dobov
I translated from Hebrew!
There are times of the year when you can really feel them in the air. Like the High Holy Days with Selichot, Hanukkah with the candles, the four species in Sukkot, and also the days of salvation and redemption that we are in now – those that begin with Passover, with the great miracle of the Exodus from Egypt, and continue through Holocaust and Heroism Day, Memorial Day for Israel's fallen soldiers, Independence Day, Jerusalem Day, and even Victory Day over Nazi Germany.
Somehow, within one month, the national story of the people of Israel is concentrated, from the moment of its redemption from the 49 gates of impurity to the declaration of its independence and the redemption of the land, some two thousand years later.

Chagei Huberman Describes His Experience on his visit to Har Habayit
The article appeared in a Hebrew publication and I translated it
בְּחַצְרות בֵּית ה' בְּתוכֵכִי יְרוּשָׁלָיִם – הַלְלוּיָה
Anyone who goes up to the Har Habayit sees up close the slow changes that are taking place there. When I went up in 2003, for a quick ride almost non-stop, we were not even allowed to mumble verses. This year I was privileged to pray on Chol Hamoed in a morning minyan and Hallel with a blessing. Some bowed – and no one bothered them
Last Thursday, Chol Hamoed Passover, for the first time in my life, I had the privilege of praying the morning prayer of the holiday and the Hallel prayer with a blessing – on the Temple Mount. It was a special experience to sing "בְּחַצְרות בֵּית ה' בְּתוכֵכִי יְרוּשָׁלָיִם – הַלְלוּיָה" standing in the courtyard of the House of God, and to sing "בצאת ישראל ממצרים" on Chol HaMoed Pesach – in the holiest place for the Jewish people.
As in all the times when I went up to the Temple Mount, it was a joy and exciting to meet Rabbi Shimshon Elbaum, head of the Temple Mount Administration, and his son Rabbi Chaim, whose activities and the energy they invest have made a great, very significant contribution to the regular prayers that have been held on the Temple Mount for several years. Rabbi Shimshon Elbaum is the man who helped most of all to open the Temple Mount to Jewish prayer.
Well, the prayer wasn't perfect.
Chareidim Join Arabs in Ignoring Yom Ha'shoah Siren
The article below appeared in the Hebrew Newsletter "Matzav HaRuach"
I translated it into English!
The Whistle Refuseniks
Three sects in Israel refuse to honor the memory of the martyrs of the Holocaust and to stand still during the siren of Memorial Day in memory of the six million * The Jewish commandment אל תפרוש מן הציבור is not even a choice for them * And how exactly do we save the people of Israel from our young men who spend time in the Swiss Alps and report from there on 'A-Gishmake Hasidishe Ski'?
1. The wheel of history has turned in such a way that Holocaust Remembrance Day, the 27th of Nissan, usually falls in the week at the end of which we read in Parashat Shmini, about the tragic death of the two sons of Aharon the Cohen. The parasha also describes the powerful reaction of their father Aharon, which was summed up in thunderous silence: "וידם אהרן." From this we learn that sometimes it is precisely the silence, in the sense of "Thy blood is praise," that is the most thunderous action.
There is no doubt that the silence that Aharon Hacohen decreed upon himself on the occasion of the death of his two sons, was the background of the Rav of the Medina's decision, in 1959, to hold a moment of communion on Holocaust Remembrance Day, accompanied by a loud siren, with the holy memory of the six million who were slaughtered and burned and who were bound to sanctify God's name during the years of rage of 5700-1945 – only because of the sin of being Jews! Since then, the siren of communion has been one of the highlights of the day, as we are indeed experiencing this year as well.
Desecration of Rav Chaim Vital’s Holy Resting Place
By Rabbi Yair Hoffman
Tonight, the 30th of Nissan, marks the yahrtzeit of the great Rabbi Chaim Vital, zatzal, the primary disciple of the holy Arizal and transmitter of his teachings. On this solemn day of remembrance, we are confronted with disturbing news that demands our tefilos and perhaps of learning Rav Chaim Vital’s Torah.
Jewish leaders worldwide have expressed profound outrage after learning that the tomb of Rabbi Chaim Vital in Damascus, Syria was desecrated this weekend. The Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic Countries, representing Jewish communities across Muslim-majority nations, has issued a strong condemnation of this heinous act.
This desecration occurring just before Rav Vital’s yahrtzeit cannot be dismissed as mere coincidence. We must recognize this as a deliberate act perpetrated by those who harbor ill will toward our holy sages and, by extension, toward the Jewish people. They did this just before his Yahrtzeit! History has repeatedly shown, those who raise their hands against our kedoshim invariably face Divine retribution. The neshama of this great tzaddik will surely bring about heavenly judgment upon those responsible, as we have already begun to witness.
The Tzaddik of Damascus and His Divine Protection
Few realize the profound spiritual role Rav Chaim Vital zt”l continues to play in the affairs of the region. The great mekubal serves as a spiritual guardian watching over Israel from his resting place in Damascus, where he was sent by the Arizal to overcome powerful forces of tumah (spiritual impurity) known as Bais Rimon.

Crown Heights Shaitel Store Robbed of $30K in wigs by Career Thief
A career criminal with nearly 60 arrests on his rap sheet burglarized a Brooklyn wig shop and made off with $30,000 in pricey pieces — including some possibly meant for cancer patients, police sources said.
Daron Ware, 52, allegedly hit the Hustle Wig shop on Dean Street in Crown Heights on the morning of March 4, cops said. Police detectives got surveillance video of a man entering the closed shop and walking out with a stuffed sack.
“They took wigs and materials to make the wigs, including hair and some hats and some random things,” co-owner Rivky Krinsky said.
Nine of the stolen hairpieces were valued at about $30,000, around $3,300 for each, according to Krinsky.
Some of the shop’s wigs, which are created from real human hair, are sold to cancer patients, Krinsky said, but she wasn’t sure how many of the stolen wigs were for patients.
“The clients didn’t know because we were able to replace the orders very swiftly,” she said. “We were able to get everything out pretty much on time.”
Cops caught up with Ware on March 13, charging him with burglary and illegal entry, police said.
He’s currently in jail on Rikers Island.
Iranian port blows up injuring 700
A powerful explosion at the Port of Shahid Rajaee in Bandar Abbas, Iran, left hundreds injured.
The Saturday blast left at least four dead and around 700 injured, some seriously, state media said.
An Israeli source said that Israel was not involved in the explosion.
In recent months, shipments with chemicals used as fuel for mid-range rockets have been brought to the port. Some of the rockets were launched at Israel.
An Iranian government spokesperson said that a final determination of the cause will take time, but in the meantime, the containers, which were stored at the port - and which may have contained chemicals - exploded.
"NowJewishNanny" Joining Project Mesorah Women’s Poland Mission
Among the dozens of women who heading to Poland on April 27th for a five day trip to explore Eastern Europe’s once-vibrant heritage will be one who converted just over a month.
Popular Instagrammer NowJewishNanny announced to her more than 96,000 followers that she would be joining the Project Mesorah Chizuk Mission just hours before the start of Yom Hashoah. The influencer prefers to be known for safety reasons as Adina, the name she took on when her conversion to Orthodox Judaism was completed in late March.
Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan arrested by the FBI for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade arrest
Dugan previously ranted about how she "used the law" to "advance social change for those who are most vulnerable."
According to FBI Director Kash Patel, Dugan was arrested on obstruction charges.
"The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction, after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week," Kash Patel posted.
"We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject, an illegal alien, to evade arrest."
The mask should’ve been a dead giveaway…

ICC Appeals Court Delivers Major Win to Israel, Freezes War Crimes Case Against Netanyahu & Gallant
In what is being hailed as a potential turning point in Israel’s long and fraught battle with the International Criminal Court (ICC), the ICC’s Appeals Chamber on Thursday reversed a landmark November 2024 ruling that had rejected Israel’s jurisdictional objections to the issuance of arrest warrants for alleged war crimes against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
As reported by The Jerusalem Post, the decision is not only a major legal win for Israel—its first significant success before the ICC since 2012—but also a dramatic shift in the trajectory of a case that had, until now, been rapidly advancing through the ICC’s procedural stages. Legal experts say the ruling may halt the momentum behind attempts to criminalize Israel’s leaders for their roles in prosecuting the war in Gaza, at least for the foreseeable future.
101-year-old Hasidic family matriarch who fled Russia after WWII fatally struck by unlicensed driver in NYC
A 101-year-old Hasidic family matriarch who fled Russia after World War II – and was “extremely independent till her last day” – was fatally struck by an unlicensed driver in Brooklyn, according to cops and her family.
Taibel Brod was walking home from a birthday party for a rebbe around 8:25 p.m. on April 8 when a 65-year-old man behind the wheel of a 2023 GMC Yukon SUV plowed into her as she crossed at the corner of Brooklyn Avenue and Montgomery Street in Crown Heights, authorities and relatives said.
Brod was rushed to Maimonides Medical Center, where she was initially listed in stable condition – but succumbed to her injuries less than two weeks later, on Sunday, police said.
Brod left behind five children – three sons, two daughters — and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, according to her loved ones.
Born in Kremenchuk, Ukraine, Brod was among many Hasidim who fled Russia on escape trains to Poland, according to an online obituary.
She met her husband, Reb Chatzkel Brod, at the Poking displaced persons camp in Germany, the obit said.
They married there and had two daughters before moving to the US in 1951, according to Brod’s relatives.
The growing Chabad family lived in Brownsville before moving to Crown Heights in the mid-1950s.
Brod lived alone after her husband died 20 years ago.
On Thursday afternoon, her Crown Heights home – a short walk from the deadly crash – was filled with grieving family members sitting shiva, a seven-day Jewish mourning ritual.
Her son, Yosef Brod, 73, who works as a building engineer in Los Angeles, said his mother spent decades feeding patients at Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center.
“For over 50 years she would feed patients,” said Yosef, as he sat next to three lit candles. “Over 50 years day in and day out.”
Yosef said his mother, who was “very active in the community,” had “goodness and kindness going for her.”
Another son echoed his sentiments.
Minnesota shoplifting bust narrowly thwarts potential mass-shooting planned by suspect: ‘israelliImperialism’
A Minnesota shoplifting spree turned out to be something far more nefarious — with police alleging the deranged suspect was plotting to carry out a religiously-charged “mass-casualty” shooting within hours.
Mohamed Adan Mohamed, 24, was arrested on April 17 after he took off from a Mankato sporting goods store with more than $2,000 worth of ammunition magazines, body armor and bear spray, according to Blue Earth County charging documents.
Store employees had noticed Mohamed prowling about the shop in an oversized jacket, medical mask and hat, and grabbing expensive items off the shelves without checking the prices.
When they confronted him, he explained he was buying supplies for his AR-style rifle, according to the docs.
Police were called to the scene over reports of a suspicious person, but before they could arrive, Mohamed ran off with the goods as store security tried to stop him. He then leapt into a minivan without plates and sped away — jumping a curb and nearly hitting somebody in the process, the papers alleged.
However, he left behind a shopping list at the scene, labelled “Survival Gear List with Alternative” — which included a sleeping bag, gun magazines, pepper spray, knives, lighters and bow and arrows.
One of the responding officers reviewing the bizarre list remembered a recent investigation into a local man who’d been posting videos of himself pointing guns at the camera.
And the hashtags on those videos — allegedly posted by Mohamed — read “deathtoamerikkan&israelliImperialism,” according to police.
Investigators found that a Sienna matching the one seen at the scene was registered to Mohamed’s address in nearby St. Peter, and determined “there were strong indicators that Mohamed was preparing to conduct some sort of attack in the next twenty-four hours,” which they also called a possible “mass casualty event.”
Investigators searched Mohamed’s home and found an assault rifle and two 3D-printed guns. He was then arrested at his home.
Neighbors said they are saddened by Mohamed’s arrest but not entirely surprised. A former classmate recalled that he had been struggling with mental health since high school.
“We grew in St. Peter together, and it’s heartbreaking,” a neighbor named Dunia told CBS Minnesota. “We just start seeing Mohamed just start talking to himself, not socializing with us, with the kids.”
“He has a very beautiful heart,” she added. “He’s a really good guy. It’s just, he’s not mentally, physically there right now at the moment.”
Mohamed was charged with felony theft, and threats of violence. Both charges could carry sentences of up to five years in prison.
Unilever lays down the law after Ben & Jerry’s woke founders try to buy back brand
Unilever on Thursday said the conglomerate has no intention of selling Ben & Jerry’s — despite a bid by the founders of the popular ice cream brand to buy back the company.
Starting July 1, Unilever’s ice cream brands will be spun off and renamed the Magnum Ice Cream Company, a nod to the division’s other popular company. The spin-off will be listed in the Netherlands as a separate company.
“The separation and listing of ice cream is the option that we consider maximizes shareholder value, that has not changed,” Unilever CEO Fernando Fernandez said on a media call, according to Bloomberg.
Ben & Jerry’s did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Ben & Jerry’s has been battling its London-based owner for years over its freedom to support liberal causes publicly, like protesting President Trump and the war in Gaza, and calling for police departments to be defunded.
In 2022, the ice cream brand sued Unilever for selling its Ben & Jerry’s business in Israel to a partner who continued to sell the sweet treats with slightly different branding.
The companies reached a settlement that same year, which required Unilever to respect Ben & Jerry’s independent board.
Earlier this week, news broke that Unilever allegedly threatened to pull funding for the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, a nonprofit supporting organizations that advocate for prison reforms and undocumented youth.
Unilever demanded the foundation submit to an expedited audit to continue receiving funding – about $5 million each year, sources told Reuters.
“We have not made any threat,” Fernandez said, adding that audits are a valid form of governance and the company wants to know where its money is going.
“It is our responsibility to ensure that these funds are used properly,” he said. “It has to be allocated to areas or institutions that are absolutely in line with the ones that are part of the acquisition agreement.”
In March, Ben & Jerry’s claimed Unilever fired its chief executive David Stever, who started as a tour guide at the brand’s Waterbury, Vt., factory, over anti-Trump activism.
The brand argued the firing violated its 2000 merger agreement with Unilever.
Unilever responded that it has the authority to appoint a new chief executive, and that it would only make such a decision after speaking with the board.
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, childhood friends from Long Island, NY, founded the company in 1978. They sold the company to Unilever for $326 million in 2000.
Sa'ar wants Banks to revoke 200 shekel bills in order to undermine Hamas' economy.
The goal is to undermine Hamas’ economic power base in the Gaza Strip. Sa'ar explained that Hamas relies heavily on cash circulating within Gaza, estimated at billions of shekels.
According to Sa'ar, Hamas uses these bills to pay its operatives and collect “taxes” from merchants. According to a team of experts, who worked on a voluntary basis, about 80% of the amount in Gaza is held in 200 shekel bills.
“Denying the financing capacity of terrorist organizations in general and Hamas, in particular, is a vital pillar of the war effort,” Sa'ar wrote.
Sa'ar added that canceling a certain series of 200 shekel bills, which were transferred to Gaza in recent years, could deal a "strategic economic blow" to Hamas, disrupting its governance abilities and recruitment mechanisms.

Yom Hashoah!!
Tonight and tomorrow on Yom HaShoah, we at DIN remember the 6 million Jews who were brutally murdered during the Holocaust.
*Especially now, as antisemitism is once again rearing its ugly head, I believe that regardless of whether one agrees with designating a specific day for Holocaust remembrance, as opposed to honoring the Kedoshim every single day, we can all take a moment to pause, to reflect, and to remember the holy Neshamos who were murdered solely for being Jewish.
Say a kapitel tehillim that you otherwise wouldn’t say. Maybe refrain from that conversation during Chazaras HaShatz.
Do something L’iluy Nishmasam.*
Rabbi Dov Landau admitted to hospital following fall.
