MUST WATCH!
The one and only Caroline Glick absolutely destroys condescending Danish Ambassador Jesper Vahr who insisted that Israel should be happy that Europe discriminates against the Jewish state.
The exchange took place at the 2014 Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference. Six years have passed, yet Caroline's words are still as true and relevant as ever!

Thousands of Israeli tourists have descended on Dubai in the month since commercial flights started between Israel and the UAE. Many were trying to escape the strict lockdown rules in Israel, others were genuinely interested in discovered a new and hitherto unknown culture. Unfortunately there were some tourists intent on stealing items from their hotel rooms, leading to complaints by Emirati hotel managers according to a Ynet report.
The report quoted the owner of the hotel overlooking the world’s tallest structure in Dubai who recounted in detail thefts made by some of the Israeli tourists who resided in his hotel. “We host hundreds of tourists from all countries of the world, some of them create problems, but we have not seen items stolen before”, the manager said.
He added that after checking out from the hotel it was found that their suitcases contained kettles, coffee and tea bags, hangers, towels, espresso machines and even light bulbs.
Consequently, a well-known anti-Israel Qatari presenter created a video depicting the thefts, claiming that a number of Emirati hotel owners had already contacted him detailing the thefts they managed to catch.
In the video, Abd Al-Aziz Khazraj Al-Ansari warns Emiratis saying: “They should know that normalization with Israel means having to give up room objects for now, and maybe land later on”. The video soon went viral on social media as people expressed their shock over the news.
The report goes on to describe different instances in which hotel managers noticed missing objects in rooms upon check out, saying their requests to examine the luggage of the Israeli guests were often met with shouting before they returned the objects and apologized.
“I have been visiting the UAE for many years and doing business there,” stated an Israeli businessman. “Last month I arrived at the hotel I was staying in and was terrified when I saw in the hotel lobby, Israelis are being searched for stolen items from the rooms.”

The French government has allocated about $10 million to a Palestinian organization that is a leading promoter of the boycott Israel movement.
Promoting that boycott has been found illegal in France in several high-profile cases.
The French Development Agency, or AFD, which focuses on “on climate, biodiversity, peace, education, urban development, health and governance,” last year gave an 8 million Euro grant to the NGO Development Center, or NDC, a Palestinian group that says it promotes good government practices in the West Bank. It was behind the 2008 “Palestinian NGO Code of Conduct,” a document includes a rejection of “any normalization activities with the occupier [Israel], neither at the political-security nor the cultural or developmental levels.”
NGO Monitor, an Israeli group that investigates the activities of non-governmental organizations and foreign government in the framework of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, in a statement last week called on the French government to “revise its grant in line with France’s clear rejection of BDS.”
In France, dozens of promoters of a boycott against Israel — including through the Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment Movement, or BDS — have been convicted of inciting hate or discrimination based on the Lellouche law, passed in 2003, which extends anti-racism laws to the targeting of specific nations for discriminatory treatment.
AFD Spokeswoman Magali Mevellec said that the funding “conforms to French law,” but offered no further commentary in a response to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s query on the issue.
France “supports strengthening local capabilities that improve the lives of populations” in what France considers Palestinian territories, Mevellec said.
“The sole purpose of France and AFD is improving the welfare of [those] populations,” she said.

Update: Daily Caller reports that a Facebook spokesperson claims the Facebook account was taken down as a result of an automated error and has since been restored.
Facebook has shut down the advertisement account for the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising committee fueling the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the campaigns of GOP incumbents Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler—days before the Jan. 5 run-off elections in Georgia.
The Facebook campaign was disabled for supposedly violating the platform's Unacceptable Business Practices Policy. "We don't promote products, services, schemes or offers using deceptive or misleading practices, including those meant to scam people out of money or personal information," a warning on the account's dashboard read.
"Big Tech is at it again," the NRSC tweeted Friday, urging follows to go to the fund's webpage and help the Republican Party fight back. "This is unacceptable with only 4 days to Election Day."
"You literally just overrode the veto on 230 and you’re going to tweet this?" One America News Network's Jack Posobiec commented, referring to the rare New Year's Day 81-to-13 vote by the Senate to overturn President Donald Trump's veto.

| Professor Avi Loeb and a rendering of 'Oumuamua. |
Is there a Chabad House out there?
When the first sign of intelligent life first visits us from space, it won’t be a giant saucer hovering over New York. More likely, it will be an alien civilization’s trash.
Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy, believes he’s already found some of that garbage.
In his upcoming book, “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), out Jan. 26, the professor lays out a compelling case for why an object that recently wandered into our solar system was not just another rock but actually a piece of alien technology.
The object in question traveled toward our solar system from the direction of Vega, a nearby star 25 light-years away, and intercepted our solar system’s orbital plane on Sept. 6, 2017.
On Sept. 9, its trajectory brought it closest to the sun. At the end of September, it blasted at about 58,900 miles per hour past Venus’ orbital distance, and then, on Oct. 7, it shot past Earth’s before “moving swiftly toward the constellation Pegasus and the blackness beyond,” Loeb writes in the book.
The object was first spotted by an observatory in Hawaii containing the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) — the highest definition telescope on earth.
The space object was dubbed ‘Oumuamua (pronounced “oh moo ah moo ah”), which is Hawaiian for — roughly — “scout.”
As space travelers go, it was relatively small at just about 100 yards long, but it was a big deal in the scientific community.

With apologies to Mark Twain, reports about the death of Trumpism are premature. At least for a few days more, Donald Trump has license to keep upsetting apple carts in Washington.
Just when it seemed the president was roadkill and about to be abandoned by his own party, growing numbers of GOP members of Congress are signing on to a last-ditch effort to challenge the election results. Because success in any state would require a majority of both houses to vote no, the objectors are virtually certain to fail.
Yet the swelling ranks of supporters in both chambers signals that it’s still Trump’s party and that enough of his 74.2 million voters are sticking with him that the pols have concluded it’s not politically healthy to go against him.
Most important, the challengers have more than enough clout to force debates on each state they dispute, and to require every member of Congress to vote yes or no on whether to accept the results as reported.

U.S. National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger is doubling down on the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese government-run lab in Wuhan.
Pottinger, a staunch critic of Beijing, allegedly made the claim in a recent Zoom meeting with British officials.
“There is a growing body of evidence that the lab is likely the most credible source of the virus,” Pottinger reportedly said, according to the Daily Mail.
The Trump appointee pushed the theory as the European Union made a new investment deal with China last week over protests from Pottinger and hesitance from the incoming Biden administration.
Pottinger, one of the first U.S. officials to raise alarms inside White House walls about the origins of the virus back in January 2020, has reportedly suspected since the early days of the outbreak that the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab.
He ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to search for evidence that it had, the New York Times reported in April.
A Chinese virologist who said she did some of the earliest research on COVID-19 has publicly claimed COVID-19 was man-made, and that the Chinese government covered up its dangers. Western medical experts have discredited the theory.
The World Health Organization has been investigating the source of the virus since the first case was made public in January 2020. Patient Zero has not been found.
Pottinger suggested in the recent call with British officials that the WHO probe is a ruse.
“MPs around the world have a moral role to play in exposing the WHO investigation as a Potemkin exercise,” Pottinger told the parliamentarians, referring to fake villages created in Crimea in the 18th Century to convince the visiting Russian Empress Catherine the Great that the region was in good health.
“Even establishment figures in Beijing have openly dismissed the wet market story,” Pottinger allegedly said, referring to another theory that the virus was transmitted from animals to humans inside a wildlife market in Wuhan where the first cluster of cases emerged.

Read this and weep ... they are not telling you that 90% of the patients are illegals ...
I am not suggesting they shouldn't be treated ... of course they should ... but wait till Biden brings in millions more ..all our hospitals near the Mexican boarders will be totally overwhelmed ..
CNN:
Overflowing hospital morgues, increased 911 wait times, beds only opening when patients die. Hospitals in California, where almost all of the state’s 40 million residents are living under stay-at-home orders, are seeing historic stress points.The surge of new coronavirus cases and hospitalizations is pushing hospitals in Los Angeles County to the “brink of catastrophe,” a top health official there said.To the north in Santa Clara, one doctor said: “What we are seeing now, is not normal.”Every day since November 7, Covid-19 hospitalizations in California have increased.
As of Thursday, 21,449 Covid-19 patients were in hospital beds throughout the state, with more than 4,500 of those in intensive care units.
“We are in the midst of a disaster,” Los Angeles County Director of Emergency Medical Services Agency Cathy Chidester said, talking about the challenges faced by hospitals due to the lack of resources and staffing. The amount of oxygen required for each coronavirus patient is putting extreme pressure on the hospital, according to Chidester.
They also are running out of ambulances while response times to 911 calls are getting longer and longer, she said.Los Angeles County shattered its record of the highest number of coronavirus deaths reported on a single day since the start of the pandemic with 290 deaths Thursday, according to data from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
The high number of deaths includes a backlog of cases from the holidays as well as an internet service interruption. “As we see 2020 come to a close, we’re experiencing extreme conditions in L.A. County,” Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said at a news conference.
“With no decline in the number of new cases, our hospitals continue to be overwhelmed as more and more people are rushed to hospitals.”The medical examiner’s office, which is accepting overflow from hospitals that don’t have any more room in their morgues, is also expected to receive help from the California National Guard on Monday.
While no hospitals in the L.A. County have formally declared they are operating under “crisis care,” health officials have said that some Southern California hospitals have put in place practices that would be a part of crisis care, including redirecting ambulances when facilities are overwhelmed. Ferrer warned that the data trends will continue into January and hundreds of people will die each week. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said people need to stay home to help blunt surges from the holidays.”We are still going to have our toughest and darkest days,” Garcetti said. “It’s so critical we change our behavior. Everybody’s doing something but everybody can do more.”
Doctors in Santa Clara, 45 miles south from San Francisco, are treating some critically ill patients in the emergency room, as there’s no room in intensive care units.

As we all know R' Chaim Kanievski paskened that everyone should take the Vaccine against covid.....
Well guess what?
A guy went to ask R' Chaim Kanievski whether he should vaccinate, telling the Rav that his wife is afraid to have the family take the vaccine...the Rav tells him not to take it
He secretly recorded the entire conversation ...
and you can clearly hear his question and R' Chaim answer that he SHOULD NOT VACCINATE.... ...
As soon as Yanki Kanievski heard the conversation he ordered the guy into a separate room and wouldn't allow him to get out unless he erased the recording ...,,, he refused and so they tried convincing him that R' Chaim only paskened that the guy's wife shouldn't vaccinate but that the psak was not for the world...
The guy had to call police to get him out of there... and he then promptly told anyone who wanted to hear, that the psak of R' Chaim Kanievski was for everyone ...
Now the "litvishe" world is having conniptions because they are questioning all the recent halachic decisions of R' Chaim, that was publicised by the family and not heard directly from R' Chaim ..
They are convinced that all recent "halachic decisions" are decisions made by Yanki and his father.. and not by R' Chaim ...
The Kanievski family in a panic released a video where you hear R' Chaim say one should vaccinate but the very end of the video was erased
.....So which is it?
Israel has vaccinated 1 million people against COVID-19, more than a tenth of its population, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday, as the country’s inoculation drive cemented its status as the world’s most rapid thus far.
Netanyahu was on hand to mark what he said was the millionth Israeli to receive a vaccine, in the Arab town of Umm al-Fahm.
Netanyahu called it a moment of “great excitement.”
“We are breaking all of the records. We brought millions of vaccines to the State of Israel,” he said. We are ahead of the entire world… with our excellent HMOs.”

| Letitia James and Gary Schlesinger |
State Attorney General Letitia James has recused herself from the ParCare vaccination probe “to avoid even an appearance of conflict,” her office told The Post.
The AG’s office will still investigate whether ParCare Community Health Network “fraudulently” obtained 2,300 doses of the coveted Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, a case referred by Gov. Cuomo, but James will have “zero involvement,” officials said. James is chummy with the boss of the embattled network, which runs four Brooklyn clinics, one in upstate Kiryas Joel and another in Harlem. KINDLY SUPPORT OUR BLOG BY BROWSING THE ADS |
The relationship between the secular and the ultra-Orthodox sector in Israel has always been strained. But thanks to the coronavirus, the two parties are starting to be exposed to each more, and therefore understand each other better.
Israel instituted its first lockdown in March. Soldiers were stationed all over the country to enforce the Health Ministry guidelines.
"As soon as the IDF soldiers came to Bnei Brak, the dynamics of the relationship between them and the Haredim changed," explains Ben Barber, a public activist and member of the Bobov Hassidic dynasty.
"The Haredi community has come to understand the coronavirus better, and the soldiers were exposed to the religious community and learned how much they support each other.
"Because the two parties interacted directly, and not through the media, each one changed the way they thought about the other."
Barber aims to ease the ever-present tension between the ultra-Orthodox and secular population in order to create a better communication with the government.
"When two sides do not understand each other, it is only natural that there will be tension between them. We need to remember that we are all brothers and each one has its own unique way. I believe that in the long run, this idea will seep into the depths of our consciousness. There is a great opportunity right in front of us."

On Wednesday, Hawley announced he will object during the Electoral College certification process on Jan. 6, unless an election integrity and voter fraud investigation is called.
“I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on January 6 without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws,” Hawley said, noting that some Democrats objected to the elections in 2004 and 2016.
“And I cannot vote to certify without pointing out the unprecedented effort of mega corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden,” he added. “At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections. But Congress has so far failed to act.”
Hawley’s announcement was met with harsh backlash from politicians, journalists, and others on the left.
