Kamala Harris Recalls How As A Little Girl She Helped Slaves Escape On The "Undewgwound Wailwoad"
She recalled in her interview with The Babylon Bee how as a little girl she helped slaves escape to the North on the "undewgwound wailwoad." (Did we mention how warm and sincere she was? It was like talking to your best bud).
"My parents were pushing me in a stroller," she says, cackling -- no, chuckling -- "and I must have gotten loose somehow." (At the time, there weren't any safety regulations on strollers, so this is not her parents' fault, just to be clear). "Anyway, I wandered away down to the Deep South and began helping slaves get to the free states. When my parents found me years later, they were understandably upset. They said, 'Kamala! What are you doing!?'"
She chuckled again.
"I replied, 'I'm hewping swaves escape on da undewground wailwoad, mommy!'" Harris then revealed that one of the slaves she helped escape grew up to be none other than Albert Einstein.
Harris, with her likeable laugh and authentic demeanor, went on to tell the story of how she helped "Abwaham Winkon" draft the "Emancipation Pwocwamation" and how she refused to give up her seat on a bus, launching the "Civil wights" movement.

One was Moshe Leon, the Mayor of Yerushalyim who asked if the Yeshivos should close during this new lockdown ... R' Chaim said "yes"
But when Harav Pinzal the principal of a Yeshiva in Yerushalyim asked the exact same question... R' Chaim answered that it should remain "Open"
The family of R' Chaim answered when questioned about the discrepancy
"there is no clear cut decision"
So that's it! Now we know ...
"any more questions?"

Skverer Rebbe Flies to Calif on Private Plane

240 Israelis found with COVID after vaccination, underscoring need for vigilance
Among the nearly one million Israelis vaccinated against coronavirus so far, some 240 Israelis have been diagnosed with the virus days after getting the shot, Channel 13 News reported Thursday.
The figure underscores the need for individuals to continue to protect themselves for weeks after being inoculated, as the body takes time to develop effective antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
The Pfizer vaccine is not made with the coronavirus itself, meaning that there is no chance anyone could catch it from the shots. Instead, the vaccine contains a piece of genetic code that trains the immune system to recognize the spiked protein on the surface of the virus and create antibodies to attack if it encounters the real thing.
But this process takes time, and studies of the vaccine so far have shown immunity to the virus rises only some 8-10 days after the first injection — and then only to around 50 percent effectiveness.

Stupid & Dangerous European Union says it will redouble efforts to save Iran nuclear deal
The European Union said Tuesday it would redouble its efforts to save the Iran nuclear agreement despite what it calls Tehran’s “important breach” of commitments made in the 2015 deal by starting to enrich uranium to new levels.
EU spokesman Peter Stano said that Iran’s actions “will have serious implications when it comes to nuclear nonproliferation.”
Stano said it was in everyone’s interest to rescue the deal and said the 27-nation bloc “will strengthen” its attempts to make sure all adhere to the commitments made in the landmark deal.
Iran stepping up its uranium enrichment also raised concerns in Israel. Defense Minister Benny Gantz called for greater international efforts to counter Iran.
“We know that Iran is continuing to ignite the region with instability and chose to raise enrichment to 20 percent. Iran is a global and regional challenge and we too have our eyes open,” Gantz said in a video statement Tuesday.
“Everyone needs to join together in the fight against Iran, its regional terror activities and the threat of its nuclear armament,” he said.
Iran began enriching uranium Monday to levels unseen since its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. The decision appeared aimed at increasing Tehran’s leverage in the waning days in office for US President Donald Trump, whose unilateral withdrawal from the atomic accord in 2018 began a series of escalating incidents.
Increasing enrichment at its underground Fordo facility puts Tehran a technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the action was “fully reversible” if other partners in the deal fully complied too, without elaborating.
Iran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency of its plans to increase enrichment to 20% last week.
Iran’s decision to begin enriching to 20% purity a decade ago nearly triggered an Israeli strike targeting its nuclear facilities, tensions that only abated with the 2015 atomic deal, which saw Iran limit its enrichment in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Other parties to the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plane of Action including the EU, UK, France and Germany have been scrambling to keep alive the accord aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear program.

The USA Going To the Garbage Bin of History as AOC and ‘Squad’ allies named to House oversight committee
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and two of her “Squad” allies were appointed Tuesday to the House oversight committee, giving the legislators a valuable perch to influence President-elect Joe Biden’s administration.
Ocasio-Cortez, author of the Green New Deal, recently was denied her request for a seat on the House energy and commerce committee. Democrats voted 46-13 to instead appoint centrist New York Democratic Rep. Kathleen Rice.
But the oversight committee appointment, announced Tuesday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), will allow the self-labeled socialist to push Biden and his appointees on adoption or implementation of policies across the federal bureaucracy.
The 31-year-old legislator, who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, will be joined on the committee by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who was an original member of Ocasio-Cortez’s four-person “Squad,” also called “AOC plus three.”
Former St Louis area protest organizer Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), who posed for a celebratory “Squad” expansion photo as she was sworn in on Sunday, also will be on the oversight committee.
Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and “Squad” associate Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) were on the oversight committee in the past two-year House term, but during that period most of the action — notably including President Trump’s impeachment — was delegated to the Judiciary and Intelligence committees.
Prior to Trump’s presidency, the House oversight committee was a frequently news-making investigatory panel. Under Trump, its focuses included a hearing last year grilling Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on cost-cutting reforms made before the election and hearings focused on the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
The committee is chaired by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). Pelosi said Tuesday that Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) also will re-join the committee after earning significant attention for her emotive interrogations of witnesses.
Although Ocasio-Cortez supported Biden, she said Sunday, ““we have to push the Biden administration hard. This whole thing ‘We can’t cancel student loan debt’ is not gonna fly.”

Anti-masker Gasps for Breath as he Issues Plea from Hospital Bed
An anti-masker who believed the COVID-19 crisis was just a “political” stunt issued an emotional plea to skeptics from his hospital bed — after becoming seriously ill with the virus.
In a Facebook video shared by a pal on Monday, Chuck Stacey gasps for breath as he admits he was wrong about the pandemic that’s killed 1.8 million globally.
“I didn’t wear a mask. I should’ve. I didn’t,” Stacey says with oxygen tubes in his nose. “I believed this was just the flu, that it was all going to go away, that it was political. I didn’t think a mask would help.”
He struggles as he continues, “You don’t want to end up like me. I’m having trouble breathing. I may have to be intubated if I get any worse.”
Stacey’s eyes well up as he begs skeptics to change their minds and protect themselves — and their families.
“If wearing a mask can reduce your chances of getting this even by 5 percent, just wear a mask,” he says. “Do it for your children, your loved ones. Do it for yourself.”
In May, Stacey blasted employees at his local Donut Hole for wearing face masks.
“I have to say I have had it with the masks that the employees are being forced to wear,” he wrote on Facebook. “It’s just another example of the continued over reaction to this situation … Please stop so when we come to eat we can enjoy our meal without feeling sorry for the employees.”
Stacey told Storyful that he had opted to wear a face shield because he suffers from claustrophobia.
COVID-19 skeptic patient says he was wrong about the virus
“My doctor came up with the idea of a face shield with social distancing and being responsible with hand sanitizer and [minimizing] my contact in the field. I own an IT company so I can work from home. It’s worked for almost a year,” he explained.
“Nothing is 100% on this virus and even if I would’ve wore a mask I could’ve still gotten it. But the fact of the matter is we have to do everything that we can do to protect ourselves and to protect the people that are really at risk. I just thank God that I haven’t given this to someone and taken a life. I would not be able to handle that.”
In an update Monday, Stacey suggested he’s been fielding death threats for going public about his COVID-19 battle.
COVID skeptic says he was wrong about protecting himself from virus
“I was wrong, can’t be more wrong. But to wish me death? To say I don’t deserve to be treated? What’s wrong with you people, we’re supposed to love one another, pray for one another,” he said in the video. “I pray for all y’all. I pray you don’t get it.”

How New York thwarted the 1947 smallpox outbreak by vaccinating 6M people in less than a month with only two deaths
 |
| In 1947, millions of New Yorkers were immunized virtually overnight when the highly contagious and fatal smallpox outbreak occurred. Thousands of New Yorkers are seen lining up for smallpox vaccines in against smallpox in 1947 |
From president-elect Joe Biden to angry and frustrated democratic governors across the country, there's been much whining and bickering over the slowness of the Covid-19 vaccine distribution – and, not surprisingly, blame is on the outgoing Trump administration.
'As I long feared and warned,' declared Biden. 'The effort to distribute and administer the vaccine is not progressing as it should…it would take years, not months, to vaccinate the American people.'
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer contends, 'The feds are slow-walking the process…the bottleneck appears to be the [Trump] White House.' While New York's Andrew Cuomo claims, 'The people of this country don't trust the federal government with this vaccine process.'
But the complaining politicians have only to look back to 1947 - when highly contagious and monstrously fatal smallpox quietly slipped into New York City from Mexico - to see how millions of Big Apple citizens were immunized, virtually overnight, resulting in just two deaths, and with none of the politicization and panic that exists today with the Covid vaccine.
What happened in New York City was successful because of federal, state and local communication, voluntary vaccinations and a public information blitz – and that's what's needed in any pandemic,' according to Judith Leavitt, professor emerita of history of medicine, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and author of Typhoid Mary: Captive to the Public's Health.
What could have become a killer smallpox epidemic in New York City, claiming the lives of untold thousands, began on February 24, 1947, when a 47-year-old American businessman by the name of Eugene Le Bar and his wife were on their way to their home in Maine and boarded a New York-bound bus in Mexico City.

Chuckie Schumer Running Scared as AOC Won’t Rule out Primary Challenge Against Him
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not ruling out a primary challenge against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, she revealed Monday.
Speaking to Punchbowl News in an interview to mark the launch of its flagship newsletter, Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) explained that she had not made a decision on whether she would challenge Schumer (D-NY), who will be up for re-election in 2022.
“I’m a no b——t kind of person. I’m not playing coy or anything like that,” she told the outlet.
“I’m still very much in a place where I’m trying to decide what is the most effective thing I can do to help our Congress, our [political] process, and our country actually address the issues of climate change, health care, wage inequality, etc.,” the progressive pol continued.
Asked by the outlet whether the Senate minority leader was doing a good job, Ocasio-Cortez declined to give a yes or no answer.
“It’s a hard thing to say too. We’ve had to deal with a fascist president and Mitch McConnell,” she remarked.
Rumors have swirled for well over a year that the 31-year-old congresswoman would mount a primary challenge against the top-ranking Senate Democrat, but her comments to Punchbowl are some of her most candid yet on the matter.
In an interview with Vanity Fair as their December cover star, AOC acknowledged that she did not know what her political future would hold.
“I don’t know if I’m really going to be staying in the House forever, or if I do stay in the House, what that would look like. I don’t see myself really staying where I’m at for the rest of my life. I don’t want to aspire to a quote-unquote higher position just for the sake of that title or just for the sake of having a different or higher position.”
President Trump has also weighed in on the potential intra-party fight, tweeting and remarking during media appearances throughout the last year that he believed Ocasio-Cortez would be able to oust Schumer.
For his part, Schumer has expressed confidence in his standing in the state and his ability to keep his seat.
Asked about a possible challenge from Ocasio-Cortez by CNN back in April, he said, “Look, throughout my career, I have done my job. I’m totally focused on COVID, we are the epicenter. And I have found, throughout my career, you do your job well, everything else works out okay.”

Cuomo Supports Bill Authorizing Detention of Suspected COVID-19 Carriers
If the New York State Assembly passes Bill A416, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will be given the authority to order the removal and/or detention of any individual suspected of being a carrier of COVID-19, or any other contagious disease.
The bill would “amend the public health law in relation to the removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases who are potentially dangerous to the public health.” It would also authorize fines of up to $1 million to penalize those who administer the vaccine to individuals who do not appear on the priority list.
At his daily coronavirus briefing in Albany on Monday, Cuomo did not directly respond to questions about Bill A416, which talks about arresting people suspected of being a carrier of COVID-19 and other contagious diseases. Instead, he redirected his response to the issue of fraud.
Cuomo said he believes individuals and institutions who misrepresent themselves in trying to obtain the vaccine, or in selling it to someone who should not have received it, should be prosecuted.
“Criminal law is intent. It’s not a mistake. It’s not that you were defrauded. It’s you were engaged knowingly in a criminal act. You sold the vaccine because you wanted to make money,” Cuomo said, adding there have already been cases where fraudulent clinics have obtained the vaccine and in fact, inoculated unwary New Yorkers.
“I am talking about criminal conduct. . . I’m talking about an affirmative fraud using this vaccine,” the governor said. “You’re gonna see fraud in this vaccine. You’re gonna see people selling this vaccine. It’s money. It’s valuable,” Cuomo underlined.
Cuomo told reporters about 300,000 COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the state up to this point. However, he wants hospitals to administer the vaccines faster: “We want those vaccines in people’s arms,” he said.
Coronavirus figures in New York State are continuing to climb.
The governor reported Monday that total COVID-19 hospitalizations in the state have reached 8,251. Of the 134,360 coronavirus tests that were carried out on Saturday, 11,209 came back with positive diagnoses, resulting in an 8.34 percent contagion rate in the state. There were 1,344 patients in the state’s ICUs, and of those, 815 patients were being maintained on life support, with ventilators, and there were 170 deaths as well.

Shin Bet Releases Details from Interrogation of Esther Horgan’s Terrorist Animal
 |
| The Coward Dog YM"S |
The Shin Bet in cooperation with the Israel Police (Samaria and Judea District), including the special anti-terror unit, and the IDF, in intelligence and operational activity, on December 24, 2020 detained for interrogation a suspect in the brutal, murderous terrorist attack on the late Esther Horgan perpetrated on December 20.
The suspect is Muhammad Cabha, 40, from the village of Tura al-Gharbiya, near Jenin, who has previously served sentences for terrorist activity.
Four additional suspects were arrested with him for assisting him in hiding from the security forces following the attack.
During his Shin Bet and Israel Police interrogation, it was learned that Cabha murdered Esther Horgan for nationalist motives; he also divulged additional details about the murder:
Approximately six weeks before the murder, the suspect decided to carry out a terrorist attack to avenge the death of a security prisoner he knew, Kamal Abu Awar, who died in of cancer prison while serving four life terms plus 50 years.
Cabha went to the area of the murder via a breach in the security fence in order to familiarize himself with it. After discerning scant traffic in the area and the passage of Israeli civilians, he decided that the place was suitable for carrying out the terrorist attack.
It was also learned that on December 20, 2020, in the afternoon, when the suspect was in the forest adjacent to Tal Menashe in order to engage in smuggling cigarettes through the fence, he identified a Jewish woman walking alone, and attacked and murdered her.
In the days following the attack, the suspect was aided by his relatives, as well as acquaintances in the village of Dayr al-Ghusun, in hiding from the security forces.
The investigation of the suspect is ongoing; upon its conclusion it is anticipated that he will be tried in the Samaria Military Court.

"Green passports" will be a means to manage daily life'
Passports to be required for entrance to large number of public venues in Israel, even though there's no proof vaccine confers immunity.
Despite repeated assurances that the coronavirus vaccine will not be made compulsory, the government is gradually extending the limits of its “positive incentives” system for promoting vaccination to the general public, and yesterday disclosed further ways in which those people who comply with official advice will benefit.
“To achieve herd immunity in the State of Israel, we’re talking about 70 percent [of the population] vaccinated. The green passport is a means that we want to use to manage daily life as the number of people who have recovered from the virus increases,” Professor Nachman Ash, the government’s coronavirus project manager told the Knesset’s Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee.
Ministry officials later expanded further on what they had in mind, telling MKs that the passport would likely be required for entrance to cultural and sports events, museums, hotels, restaurants and cafes, malls, gyms, and swimming pools. However, it would not be required for entrance to schools, workplaces, synagogues, street stores; or for using public transportation.
