These high-end NYC hotels not changing sheets, wiping down surfaces

Some high-end Manhattan hotels aren’t thoroughly cleaning rooms between guests amid the coronavirus pandemic, a new report found.

Three different Midtown hotels didn’t even bother to change pillowcases or wipe down commonly used surfaces, according to an investigation by Inside Edition set to air Monday night.

Producers with the TV program booked rooms at each of the hotels and used a washable spray to apply an Inside Edition logo — only visible under UV light — to the pillows, bed sheets and bath towels.

They also doused commonly touched surfaces, like the TV remote, thermostat and desk with a special washable gel.

The next day, using a new reservation under a different name, they checked-in to the same room to see if the linens had been changed and surfaces wiped down.

At the Hyatt Place Times Square, the logo was still visible on the bedsheets and pillowcase under UV light — indicating they hadn’t been replaced, the report found.

While the desk had been wiped down and the towel replaced, the gel was visible on the remote control when placed under UV light.

A few blocks away at the Hampton Inn Times Square Central, the sheets and a pillowcase weren’t changed either and neither the remote control nor thermostat were wiped down, according to the report.

At the Trump International Hotel overlooking Central Park, the sheets and towels were changed. But the pillowcase wasn’t and the desk and the remote control weren’t wiped down.

A Hyatt spokesperson told the program they were “deeply concerned” about the situation.

“We are working with the hotel’s owner to ensure the hotel is implementing proper cleaning protocols that are consistent with Hyatt’s commitment to cleanliness for the safety and wellbeing of our guests,” the statement said.

A spokesperson for Hampton Inn said it had conducted an investigation of their own and found that “our housekeeping team relied on a visual inspection of the room’s cleanliness to determine which areas received attention, deviating from our protocols.”

“This is a violation of our standards to thoroughly clean each room,” the statement said. “Both our housekeeping team and management apologize for this mistake and we are retraining our team members to reinforce our procedures.”

A rep for the Trump International Hotel denied Inside Edition’s findings.

“Following an internal review, we have concluded that the claims made by Inside Edition are categorically false,” the spokesperson said.

After 76 Years, A DNA Test Revealed To David Reicher Where His Father Was Murdered

David Reicher was just 3 months old when his father disappeared, never to be seen again by his family. David, who was born Daniel Reicher in Rome, survived the Holocaust together with his mother Ethel and his sister Rosetta but never knew anything about the fate of his father, according to a Walla news report.

David’s mother, who he terms “the great survivor”, took her two infant children on a legitimate ship to Palestine in March 1945, before the war in Europe had even ended. 

Wishing to give them a new lease on life after the tumultuous childhood they had suffered, she changed their names to David (in memory of his grandfather who was murdered in the Holocaust as well) and Shoshana. She worked hard to support her children and rarely spoke about the war years. David only knew that his parents escaped during the war from Poland to Italy, that his father was a dentist named Moshe and that one day he had left the house and disappeared.

L’Oreal Will Remove Words Like ‘Whitening’ from Skin Products

A world gone mad... will they now require in the game of chess for "black" to go first? ....

I think they should remove "black" from "black lives matter"

French cosmetics giant L’Oreal said Saturday that it will remove words like “whitening” from its skin care products, a move that comes amid global protests against racism sparked by the death of George Floyd in the United States.

The company said in a statement Saturday that it “has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products.”

L’Oreal’s decision follows a similar move by Anglo-Dutch firm Unilever on Thursday. It is among a number of companies that have been the target of criticism in the wake of Floyd’s death following his arrest in Minneapolis.

Earlier this month, L’Oreal tweeted that it “stands in solidarity with the Black community and against injustice of any kind. … Speaking out is worth it.” The post drew a negative reaction from people who see the company’s business model and advertising as focused on white consumers.

English model Munroe Bergdorf notably accused the beauty brand of hypocrisy for having fired her three years ago. Bergdorf was sacked as L’Oreal UK’s first openly transgender model in 2017 for decrying “the racial violence of white people.”

"Cuomo Killed 31,000" ........Rep. Louie Gohmert

As anti-Trump media seeks to widely disseminate data on the COVID-19 case increases in red states Florida, Arizona, and Texas, they are selectively ignoring data on hospitalizations and mortality rates compared to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s New York, according to Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, on Newsmax TV.

“That’s what they do: They lie, they misrepresent, and they’ve taken their lead – well, I’m not sure if they’ve taken their lead from the Democrats or the Democrats took their lead from the media, but either way they work together and they misrepresent the facts,” Gohmert told “Saturday Report.”

Gohmert told host Grant Stinchfield the narrative is spinning away from the reality that the virus started in Wuhan, China – something media once called a conspiracy theory – is one example.

Another is pointing to “upticks” in Texas, Gohmert’s state, since late May, while ignoring hospitalization and death rates in Texas vs. New York.

“We’re testing people like crazy here in Texas,” Gohmert adding to Stinchfield. “But, Grant, if you look at the deaths, the precious lives that have been lost, New York deaths are up over 8,000 in that period; Texas is up a little over 700.

“Every life is precious, but we don’t have a governor sending people with COVID to our nursing homes. We don’t have them killing and spreading the virus to people who are most vulnerable like Gov. Cuomo did.”

Charedi Infant In Critical Condition After Contracting Herpes At His Bris

What is it with these Mohalim? Are they the only ones with Herpes?  All Mohalim should be tested immediately and exposed... I wonder how they got it??

A three-week-old infant, born to a Charedi family in Haifa, was brought to the Bnei Zion medical center in Haifa in serious condition. It is believed that the infant contracted the Herpes virus during his Bris Milah. The infection caused serious contamination in the young boy’s brain that caused seizures. Lab results showed that the infant was suffering from herpes.

Head of the Pediatrics Department in Bnei Zion, Professor Yitzchak Serugo said: “The infant has been hospitalized in serious condition. It appears that he has a brain infection that is causing prolonged seizures and a serious infection of his skin.”

The baby was rushed to the hospital by his parents who noticed the infection a number of days after his bris. During his time in the pediatrics department, the herpes virus was discovered in his spinal fluid, his brain, and on the lesions on his skin. The infant seized for the first three days after being hospitalized in spite of receiving anti-seizure medication.

According to Professor Serugo, the infant is receiving anti-viral treatment to remove the virus from his brain but will have to undergo continuing treatments for the next six months in order to eradicate the disease completely.

The Chief Rabbinate of Israel issued a statement in response to the incident: “The incident will be investigated by the committee that oversees mohalim on behalf of the Health Ministry and the Chief Rabbinate. All mohalim are instructed to tell the parents exactly how the bris will be performed and are responsible for disinfecting their mouths prior to performing the mitzvah.

From an initial investigation, it was found that the mohalim who conducted the bris has not conducted any others since this incident.”

Blacks Perpetrated a Pogrom Against Jews on Shevuois... And Jews Are Silent

The silence of the Jews of America in the face of rising anti-Semitism is stunning.

Over the Shavuot festival on May 30, members of Black Lives Matter (BLM) carried out a pogrom in Fairfax, the oldest Jewish community in Los Angeles, largely populated today by ultra-Orthodox Jews. They vandalized five synagogues and three Jewish schools. Most of the Jewish businesses on Fairfax Avenue were looted.

As Daniel Greenfield reported at Frontpage, Allyson Rowen Taylor, a co-founder of StandWithUs, shared an account of the riots in which they chanted, “F**k the police and kill the Jews.”

Aryeh Rosenfeld, whose store was looted, told The Jerusalem Post that when he came to defend his store there were people driving through the streets screaming “effing Jews” at the Jewish store owners.

Greenfield revealed that the Jews were not incidental victims in a larger night of “anti-racist” rioting by BLM. BLM in Los Angeles is led by outspoken anti-Semites with intimate ties to the virulently anti-Semitic Nation of Islam.

Fox TV Will Broadcast Farrakhan the Black Anti-Semite on July 4

The ‪Americans Against Antisemitism organization on Sunday called on Fox Broadcasting Co. to immediately cancel the planned July 4 broadcast of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan which is scheduled to air on Fox Soul TV.

In a video posted to social media, the head of Americans Against Antisemitism Dov Hikind, said,

 “How is that possible? How can Fox permit something like this? We call on Fox TV, we call on Fox Soul: Do not permit this man of the Nation of Islam, an organization that is classified as a hate organization, do not permit this hater to appear on your station, on national television.”

Farrakhan has blamed Jews for the trans-Atlantic slave trade and American slavery, accused American Jews of being part of the “Synagogue of Satan”, compared Jews to termites, warned of the eventual annihilation of whites, claimed that white people were artificially created by a mad scientist and calling them only “potential humans”, accused “the Jews” of helping Adolf Hitler “get the Third Reich on the road”.

Two years ago, he called the Talmud “filthy, so filthy,” and “ugly”, while deriding Jews as “Satanic people”.

Last year Farrakhan led a chant of “Death to Israel, Death to America” during a visit to Tehran.

In another incident, Farrakhan denied having ever used hateful or bigoted rhetoric, but once again referenced “Satanic Jews”, even though he said he did not believe all Jews fell into this category.

Reb Shayala the Brother of the Aish Kodesh .... Ha'Admor Ha'Chalutz

As a new feature, inspired by my brother, I will begin to feature real "Gedoilei Hador" who quietly but purposefully supported the return of Jews to their homeland ......

Some of these greats you may know by name and may even have heard about, but what you don't know is that they supported Aliyah going against the Chareidie "staying in the galut mentality"....and going against the accepted norms of the "gedoilim" of their day ...

At the end of the day ... these "chalutzim" and pioneers of Jewish thought won the debate ...though the Chassidish/Yeshivash sheep will not admit it even with "reality" smacking them in the face..

One on those greats was none other than Rabbi Yeshayahu Shapira, a brother of the famous Piaseczna Rebbe, Rav Kalonymous Kalmish Shapira hy”d,the Aish Kodesh, who was brutally murdered in the Holocaust.
