In this generation of fleeting allegiance and loyalty, particularly in the realm of Jewish leadership, it seems inexplicable that today, years after the brutal murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane, he is mourned by so many Jews throughout the world. The phrase coined so as to perpetuate his ideas as well as his memory is" Kahane tzadak", Kahane was right
Having worked closely for more than two decades with this self-sacrificing Jewish leader, both in the United States and in Israel, I feel impelled, on the l9th anniversary of his murder, to relate a few little known insights about the man behind the headlines.
Although demonized by both left- and right-wing Israeli governments for his prophetic warnings concerning the rise of Arab nationalism and the dire consequences of making concessions to these implacable enemies, Rabbi Kahane remained undaunted. In his view, the Torah was the only timely and relevant 'road map' for the Jewish people.

Is this China? Is this Russia? Is this some 3rd world counytry? Nope...
It's the USA .... The Land of the Free .... BS ...
A Michigan USPS whistleblower has provided Project Veritas with details of a directive he received from his superiors to back-date late mail-in-ballots as received November 3rd, 2020 so they are accepted.
“Separate them from standard letter mail so they can hand stamp them with yesterday's date & put them through," was the order he received.
Meanwhile, Gateway Pundit reports a poll watcher filmed highly suspicious activity at a vote-counting center in Detroit at 4 a.m., the morning after election day.
In the footage, taken by Texas lawyer and Lawyers for Trump member Kellye SoRelle, a person in a white van was filmed loading a red wagon outside the ballot counting location and bringing it inside.
SoRelle released the video to Texas Scorecard, because she wanted to raise “alarms that the box may have been a ballot box that arrived long after all ballots were expected to have been received at the counting facility.”
The website reports that “other images appear to show suitcases and coolers moving in and out of the secure area where mail-in ballots were being counted during a shift change at 4 a.m.”
The New York Post reports that dead people were also conscripted to the vote in New York, with an absentee ballot received from one Frances Reckhow of Staten Island, a registered Democrat, who would have been 105 if she were alive today but unfortunately, she passed away eight years earlier. Despite this inconsequential detail, the NYC Board of Elections received the ballot on the 8th of October and declared it valid. Other ballots of people impersonating dead persons were also received in New York.
The Staten Island Republican Party is reportedly referring the matter to the police and Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon’s office. “People should be on the alert for dead people voting. There are people using the names of dead voters to cast ballots,” said chairman Brendan Lantry. “I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Lantry. “We’re requesting that the NYPD and the Staten Island District Attorney’s office investigate.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) let loose on Democrats and the Joe Biden campaign on Tuesday night for not putting more effort into securing the Latino vote during this election cycle.
Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter hours after Biden lost the state of Florida, where he greatly underperformed in the Latino community. President Donald Trump ended up winning the crucial swing state with 51.21% of the vote, according to The Blaze.
Ocasio-Cortez shared a brief video in which journalist Hunter Walker said, “Progressive allies of Biden were raising alarms about this over the summer. The Biden campaign did do a little more Latino outreach, but he has really struggled to on that front.”
“ I will say we’ve been sounding the alarm about Dem vulnerabilities w/Latinos for a long, long time,” the congresswoman wrote. “There is a strategy and a path, but the necessary effort simply hasn’t been put in.”
China has unveiled a mega bridge-building machine that's expected construct high-speed railway overpasses faster and cheaper.
The Kunlun is capable of erecting a 1,000-tonne box girder - a support beam of a bridge - with a maximum span of 40 metres (131 feet), according to the government.
The mechanical giant is currently building a gigantic cross-sea bridge measuring 14.7 kilometres (9.1 miles) long in Fujian Province, south-eastern China.
Time-lapse footage released by the Kunlun's state-owned manufacturer shows the machine assembling and extending the Meizhou Bay Bridge from the land to the sea.
The Kunlun is seen carrying and picking up large sections of concrete before laying them onto the structure.
The Kunlun is developed and manufactured by the China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC), a large construction and engineering company directly supervised by China's State Council.
The firm claims the Kunlun transport-erect machine is the first of its kind in the world to be able to handle such heavy box girders.
It is expected to help the nation lower the cost of the construction of its high-speed railways and accelerate the expansion of the transport network, especially in remote areas.
The Kunlun can reduce about 20 per cent of girder erection costs and improves erection speed by 25 per cent, according to a release from the State Council.
It is also filmed stretching itself from one bridge supporter to another over the sea to install chunks of the bridge surface.
High-speed railway bridges are ubiquitous in China, covering a combined length of more than 16,000 kilometres (9,941 miles) as of April last year.
One of the country's transport arteries, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, comprises 244 bridges over a distance of 1,318 kilometres (819 miles).
State experts say that high-speed railway bridges can help cut travel time, make train journeys more smooth, save land resources and improve the safety of railroads

Surveillance footage captured a disturbing physical assault of two young women in a Brooklyn, New York deli over the weekend.
The video captures the attack, which happened at 1.15am on Sunday morning at a deli on Utica Avenue near Sterling Place. A young man puts his bag down and suddenly punches the two women, knocking one down, before calmly appearing to walk away.
The store clerk and a woman at an ATM also appear in the surveillance video, although they don't appear to be affected by the assault.
The attacker, who remains at large, appears to be in his 30s.
There are several delis open late in the area - the NYPD did not state which deli this occurred in.
According to PIX 11, police say the two victims were a 21-year-old and 24-year old. The former suffered a detached retina, while the latter suffered pain and bruising from the assault.
NBC New York reports both women were taken to the hospital, where they were listed in stable condition.
This is not the only recent violent incident that has occurred in a deli in recent weeks.
According to 1010 WINS, an 18-year-old man was shot and killed in a deli in East New York last Wednesday.

o comedian Katherine Ryan has said what some of us have thought for as long as we’ve been married to a divorcé: ‘I don’t think most men are really ready to be married until they’ve been divorced’. Most might be pushing it, but not by much.
I’m certainly relieved to be the second wife, mainly because getting hitched for the first time to a man who has done it all before guarantees that at least one of you is going into it with realistic expectations.
It’s not that men are more pragmatic the second time around — my husband Tris had three kids; I had no experience of children and didn’t cook or clean — they’re just wiser.
You know what I found hilarious in the following article? This Luntz guy, blames the Trump voters for his own failures. Ha Ha
He says that the reason the pollsters failed is because the Trumpers " don't 'cooperate' with pollsters" .... crazy ... at least we can laugh too.
A prominent Republican pollster called political polling a 'systematic failure' after most major surveyors got it wrong again four years after incorrectly predicting that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump.
Frank Luntz told DailyMail.com that the main reason pollsters couldn't get it right in 2016 or 2020 is because the president's voters don't 'cooperate' with pollsters.
'Trump voters assume polls and pollsters have an agenda that doesn't include them, so they refuse to cooperate,' Luntz said. 'That's why they're underrepresented. That's why they get left out of the polls.'
'The only way to fix this is to let Trump voters know they have a voice and that their opinions truly matter,' he suggested.
He also levied an apology to a rival pollster for Trump, John McLaughlin, who correctly predicted in his polling that key rust belt states would go for Trump by very slight margins.
'I owe an apology to @JMcLghln, who had the key Rust Belt states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin) going for Trump by 1% margins or less,' Luntz tweeted Wednesday.
'No matter which way those states ultimately go, John's numbers were closer than the semi-blowout margins from mainstream pollsters,' he continued.
Luntz's tweets came after he posted over the weekend that he didn't believe the polling numbers from McLaughlin.
'Trump pollster @JMcLghln is privately telling people that Trump is ahead in ALL the swing states – including Penn and Michigan, and tied in Wisconsin,' Luntz tweeted on Saturday. 'I don't believe it. But if he's right, he's a genius. If he's wrong, I wonder if he'll ever work again.'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing tough questions about her ability to win enough votes to retain her leadership, after Democrats shrunk their House majority and moderates in the party plotted to back a challenger.
Democrats went into Tuesday night expecting to pad their majority in the House by marching deeper into President Donald Trump's 2016 win territory, but instead Republicans made gains.
Already, two centrist Democrats in the House say they are contacting colleagues to round up support for House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, a top Pelosi lieutenant, for Speaker in the next Congress, according to The Hill.
Emboldent with a possible Biden presidency, A United Nations General Assembly committee on Wednesday adopted a resolution that referred to Jerusalem's Temple Mount solely by its Muslim name of Haram al-Sharif, the UN Watch NGO reported.
The Temple Mount resolution was one of seven resolutions passed by the General Assembly that single out or condemn Israel, with zero on the entire rest of the world.
One of the other texts approved on Wednesday condemns Israel for "repressive measures" against Syrian citizens in the Golan Heights, another renews the mandate of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), while another renews the mandate of the UN's "special committee to investigate Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people and other Arabs of the Occupied Territories."
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, presented arguments against the anti-Israel resolutions, calling them outdated and maintaining they do nothing but perpetuate the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In his remarks, Erdan highlighted why the UN has continually failed to solve the conflict.
“One of the biggest reasons for the UN’s failure in ending the conflict is its continued support of UNRWA,” he said. “Simply put, UNRWA’s very existence makes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict unsolvable, and I don’t intend to allow business as usual anymore.”
Erdan pointed out how UNRWA uses its schools to spread hatred and antisemitism, inciting Palestinian children to violence, promoting terrorism and questioning Israel’s right to exist.
The Israeli Ambassador also criticized the UN’s refusal to refer to Judaism’s holiest site as the Temple Mount, saying that by using only the sacred esplanade’s Islamic name was an “audacious attempt to rewrite history” and erase the centuries old Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
“As Minister of Public Security, I ensured that all religions had access to Jerusalem’s holy sites,” said Erdan. “During my term, the number of Jews visiting the Temple Mount each year more than tripled. No resolution passed here will stop that process. No resolution passed here will change the eternal connection between the Jewish people and the holiest site of our faith – the Temple Mount.”
Erdan pushed committee members to reconsider their blind support of these annual resolutions.
“What is the point of these resolutions? Just to pave the way for future resolutions?” he asked. “By supporting these resolutions you are not only wasting UN resources, you are also sabotaging any changes of future peace.”
Israel’s mission to the UN noted that Every year, the General Assembly adopts a package of about 20 anti-Israel resolutions, including renewing the mandate of biased Palestinian committees. Israel views this as part of a diplomatic effort led by the Palestinians to undermine its legitimacy.
The UN’s anti-Israel bias is well-documented. Three years ago, its cultural body UNESCO approved a series of resolutions denying the Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon several times admitted the UN’s anti-Israel bias, the first time being during a 2013 session with Israeli students.
Just before he stepped down from his role in 2016, Ban admitted that the UN has a "disproportionate volume of resolutions, reports and conferences criticizing Israel" and that "in many cases, rather than helping the Palestinian cause, this reality has hampered the ability of the UN to fulfill its role effectively."
As I write, on November 2, 2020, it is 16 years to the day since Dutch-Moroccan jihadist Mohammed Bouyeri, dressed in a djellaba and carrying a knife, a machete and a gun, shot and stabbed filmmaker-writer Theo van Gogh to death on the sun-filled streets of Amsterdam.
Less than a year later, Flemming Rose, an editor at the Danish Jyllands-Posten received death threats from Muslim radicals in his own country, while Muslims worldwide called for a boycott of Danish products, burned the Danish embassy in Damascus, and rioted across the globe.
And then in 2015, after satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo republished a selection of those same cartoons, a group of Muslim terrorists raided its Paris office, killing 12 illustrators and editors, and wounding 11 more.
The reason: Van Gogh, the Jyllands Posten, and Charlie Hebdo had all allegedly insulted Islam, had mocked – dishonored, even – the prophet Mohammed. They deserved to die.
Now here we are again.
It began in late September, when an 18-year-old Pakistani man wielding a knife stabbed two people outside the former offices of Charlie Hebdo. The attack occurred as the trial for the 2015 Charlie Hebdo accomplices was beginning, and soon after Charlie Hebdo's new editors republished the cartoons – a timing officials believe was no coincidence.
The incident raised again the long-unresolved debate in France – and elsewhere in the West – over free speech, blasphemy, and censorship, and whether "blasphemous" speech should be permissible, even where free speech is enshrined into the law, as it is in the United States. France, like other European countries, does ban some forms of speech it deems "hate speech," like Holocaust denial, where America does not.
For at least one teacher in a Paris suburb, the incident made for an important lesson. Challenging his students to debate the question of free expression, Samuel Paty shared one of the Mohammed cartoons with his students, creating an uproar within the school and among the parents of many Muslim students. The fury spread. Just days later, 18-year-old Abdoullakh Anzorov, a Chechen immigrant who didn't even attend the school, slit Paty's throat and decapitated him, as he walked along a shaded street.
French officials immediately spoke out to honor the teacher and to denounce what President Emmanuel Macron called "an attempt to strike down the republic."

US President Donald Trump performed historically well among Jewish voters in Tuesday night's presidential election, receiving the highest portion of the Jewish vote for any Republican candidate since 1988, according to early exit polling cited by the Washington Free Beacon.
Trump won 30.5 percent of the Jewish vote, up from the 24 percent he received in 2016, according to the Republican Jewish Coalition, which conducted an analysis of national exit polls along with analyst groups Basswood Research and McLaughlin & Associates.
The poll included 600 registered voters nationwide who identified as Jewish.
Trump won 43 percent of the Jewish vote in Florida, a historic high, according to polls conducted by the New York Times and Associated Press. This helped Trump clinch the state and remain competitive in the race as several states continue to count ballots.
The poll also indicates that Jewish voters are increasingly willing to vote Republican despite the plurality of Jews historically voting Democratic.
"There is no doubt that in this election, when Donald Trump won in the key battleground state of Florida by fewer than 3 points, the Jewish vote was critical to his victory," RJC executive director Matthew Brooks said in a statement on the organization's exit polling.
As with much of the country, Jewish voters polled by the RJC said the economy and domestic issues are their chief concerns. Nearly 95 percent of respondents said they made up their minds about who to vote for well in advance of Election Day.
The coronavirus pandemic and "character of the candidate" also were top considerations for Jewish voters, much like the rest of the general American public.
Just 8 percent of those polled cited Israel as their top voting issue, showing foreign policy did not largely factor into their decision making. Respondents ranged in age from 18 to over 65.
For four years now, Democrats and their media allies have tarred President Trump as a reprehensible white supremacist leading a dying party. The Trumpian, populist GOP, they claimed, was doomed to become a regional rump party, whose electoral prospects were tied to a shrinking share of bitter, downscale whites.
That narrative was always bunk. It finally died, once and for all, on Tuesday evening.
Team Trump and Republicans nationwide made unprecedented inroads with black and Hispanic voters. Nationally, preliminary numbers indicated that 26 percent of Trump’s voting share came from nonwhite voters — the highest percentage for a GOP presidential candidate since 1960.
In Florida’s Miami-Dade County, the heartland of Cuban America, Trump turned a 30-plus point Hillary Clinton romp in 2016 into a narrow single-digit Joe Biden win. Texas’ Starr County, overwhelmingly Mexican American and positioned in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, barely delivered for the Democrats. Biden’s Hispanic support in other key swing states, like Ohio and Georgia, tailed off from Clinton’s 2016 benchmarks.
Overall, exit polls indicated that 32 to 35 percent of Latinos voted for the president. And young black men are gravitating to the GOP at a remarkable pace (given the baseline).

Let’s be real. Goliath was never going to let David breeze through the rematch.
The provinces, for whom President Trump is an instrument, not an end in himself, were never going to have an easy time winning the 2020 election against the amassed might of the Democratic Party, the “Fake News” media and allied pollsters, Big Tech, woke billionaires and the celebrity class, who united to stamp out the barbarian orange emperor.
The “chumps” and “ugly folk,” as Joe Biden calls them, came out in their glorious millions from the American heartland on Election Day and now we will see if people power prevails, if the nationalist populist movement enabled by Donald Trump, but not defined by him, lives to fight another day against the corrupt globalists represented by the sad husk of Biden.
It boils down to Trump’s belief that the Democrats perpetrated widespread voter fraud in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and elsewhere to steal the election.
While even those in his own party are urging him to lose gracefully, the president has every right to ensure electoral laws are enforced to prevent fraud.
In fact, he owes it to the 68 million deplorables who voted for him.
To that end, Trump has turned to an old ally, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, to lead a heroic legal challenge.
They probably know that the networks were wrong .....
President Donald Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien says the president plans to “immediately” request a recount in the battleground state of Wisconsin, where the race remains close.
In Wisconsin, if a race is within 1 percentage point, the trailing candidate can force a recount.
Stepien says in a statement Wednesday: “The President is well within the threshold to request a recount and we will immediately do so.”
The fate of the United States presidency is hanging in the balance, with Trump and his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, battling for three familiar battleground states — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — that could prove crucial in determining who wins the White House.
In the race to the 270 electoral votes needed to win, Biden has 238 while Trump has 213.
A now-deleted page on Bush’s campaign website had said she supported BDS. If she still holds those views, it will bring the number of BDS supporters in the Democratic caucus to three.
Projections are showing that Bush will win St. Louis’ traditionally Democratic seat handily, defeating Republican Anthony Rogers. She defeated Lacy Clay, the longtime Democratic incumbent, in a primary earlier this year.
BDS was not a notable issue in the Bush-Clay race, which hinged on the divide between progressive and establishment politics. Bush is a racial justice activist who was backed by progressives including Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Clay, a more centrist Democrat who had succeeded his father in the seat, had attempted to use Bush’s BDS support against her late in the campaign, highlighting it in a mailer.
Omar was declared the victor in her Minnesota congressional district, showing her staying power despite accusations of anti-Semitism. Last year, Omar drew condemnation from both sides of the aisle for suggesting that Jews pay politicians to be pro-Israel. She apologized for the comment but has continued to be a target of criticism from Democrats.
In August, Omar fended off a well-funded primary challenger, Antone Melton-Meaux, who made attacking her Israel comments a key part of his campaign.
She and Tlaib, who is the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress, are both members of the “Squad,” a group of four progressive freshman congresswomen.
