NYC sees bloodiest week this year with 46 separate shooting incidents

 

New York City endured its bloodiest week so far this year, as gun violence continues to soar ahead of what could be another violent summer.

NYPD data shows 50 people were shot in 46 separate incidents over a seven-day period ending Sunday evening — a more than 250 percent surge from the same week in 2020.

Last year, the NYPD says it logged 12 shootings with 14 victims during the same time  — more than a month into the city’s COVID-19 lockdown, according to the weekly Compstat data.

But the same week in 2019 saw nearly identical figures.

This weekend alone recorded nearly two dozen shootings to cap off the violent week, according to police. 

The nearly year-long trend in gunplay began last spring as New Yorkers grappled with the first wave of COVID-19.

Mayor Bill de Blasio has repeatedly chalked up the troubling surge to a “perfect storm”of variables caused by the pandemic — including a court slowdown — despite evidence to the contrary. 

The shootings, however, have shown no signs of slowing even as the city and state slowly reopen.

So far this year, 376 shootings have been reported with 416 victims, according to NYPD data.

The mayor announced his policing plan to curb the gun violence last week, but nearly all of the measures were implemented in 2020, including the “Summer All Out” initiativethat failed to slow a months-long surge in shootings.

One Bronx cop slammed the mayor for touting gun arrests amid the shootings spike. 

“The mayor talks about record gun arrests — the only record we will have this year is record shootings,” the cop told The Post.

Over the last two weeks, gun arrests were down compared to last year.

Republicans Projected to Regain House Majority in Midterm Elections

 An internal survey of battleground congressional seats from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) found Republicans are poised to take back the House in the upcoming midterm elections.

The April battleground survey also found House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is the most unpopular politician in the country. Previously, the NRCC’s February polling found Pelosi was the most unpopular politician with a 41 percent favorable and a 52 percent unfavorable rating. This month, Pelosi’s image dropped to 38 percent favorable and 56 percent unfavorable. 

Additionally, the survey also found Pelosi hits 60 perfect unfavorable in “Trump/Democratic districts.” According to the NRCC press release, “Democrats in these districts are going to have an uphill battle defending their decisions to vote in lockstep with Pelosi’s socialist agenda.”

The survey was conducted between April 18-21. It consisted of 1,000 voters across 85 Battleground Congressional Districts and included an oversample in 16 ticket-splitting districts. Polling was conducted 65 percent over a cell phone, 15 percent from a landline, and 20 percent online.

How John Kerry Stabbed Israel Ratted out Israeli Covert Operations to the Iranian Murderers to Undermine Trump Middle-East Peace

 

From a leaked tape we learn that former Secretary of State John Kerry informed  Zarif that Israel had attacked Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times, to his astonishment, Mr. Zarif said.

John Kerry was ratting out Israeli covert operations in Syria directly to the Iranian foreign minister. Let that sink in. Wow. https://t.co/lmzhamTWFf pic.twitter.com/DzMAHAJeGy

— Noah Pollak (@NoahPollak) April 26, 2021

The rather curious defining feature of Democratic Party foreign policy, going back at least four decades, is that our friends must be bullied and our enemies must be appeased. 

The Democratic worldview holds that America is a source of geopolitical evil whose destructive influences must be tamed and reined in, and that America’s enemies must be emboldened in order to tilt the global playing field away from America’s noxious ambit.

Barack Obama’s administration encapsulated this toxic ideology through its single-minded pursuit of a nuclear accord with the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism during the president’s lame-duck second term. Many of the leading hucksters who comprised Team Obama’s “negotiators” with Tehran — Wendy Sherman, Robert Malley, and Colin Kahl among them — are now reprising their roles during Uncle Joe Biden’s third Obama term.

No individual personified the Obama Bros’ supine tango with the mullahs better than then-Secretary of State John Kerry. Kerry, the “statesman” who has been on the wrong side of every major foreign affairs issue since at least the Swift Boats of Vietnam, betrayed his country in borderline-treasonous fashion as Obama’s chief diplomatic lackey. Not content to sell the farm — and scores of unmarked pallets of U.S. taxpayer cash — to a mullocracy with untold American blood on its hands as a diplomat,

 Kerry then traitorously colluded as a layman with his pal, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, to undermine the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” Iran containment strategy.

Alas, we now know it is apparently even worse. 

New leaked audio appears to reveal that Kerry, now Team Biden’s special climate envoy, divulged to Zarif the details of over 200 clandestine Israeli military operations taken against Iranian targets in Syria. One might be loath to take on blind faith the claims of a thug like Zarif, but in this case the shoe fits. This is who John Forbes Kerry is — who he always has been, and always will be.

And if confirmed, what an utter, shambolic disgrace it is. The man who was then serving as America’s leading diplomat on the global stage betrayed our Israeli allies with reckless abandon, opting instead to buttress a rogue jihadist state and its barbarous Syrian satrapy. Rational American allies the world over will respond to this perfidy by trusting the U.S. much less with sensitive military intelligence. And for what end, other than the perverse, self-serving satisfaction of Team Obama’s “echo chamber” miscreants?

The American Left frequently responds with bemusement or defiance when it is accused of harboring a barely concealed anti-American animus. With this latest example of the full depth of leftist anti-Israel zealotry and pro-Iran sycophancy, perhaps liberals will respond next time with less confusion. In the interim, John Kerry has helped solidify his odious legacy as a dunderhead par excellence, at best — and a traitorous anti-Western ideologue, at worst.

Familiar Yerushalme Character in Geulah Had Enough of the guys protesting Against the Internet

There is a guy in Yerushalyim who hires "baalei teshuvah" to walk around with signs that warn about the internet....they walk around screaming like frightened banshies while holding signs.

You can see these meshugaim around Yerushalayim especially in Geula and also in front of Mir Yeshiva..they wear helmets for some reason 

Well one of the storekeepers in Geulah, who is a very familiar face in Geulah,  a veteran Yerushalmie ....had enough; I guess he was trying to take a nap..these crazies with the signs were disturbing his afternoon nap, and so he ran out to stop them..it didn't end well ..

Little did they know that they would wind up on the internet

Troopers Protect Corrupt "Gestetner Bais Din" From Massive "Free Lonna Kin" Protest in Monsey

 

In Feb 2016, I reported to you about this fake Bais Din, that will issue a fraudulent "Heter Meah Rabbanim" for any husband who wants to extort money from their spouse. 

They issue a "get" which is basically an "extortion letter" and they tell the wife ..."the get is ready" but when the wife shows up she is asked to pay a considerable "ransom" in order for her to "get" it! When the wife finally is able to muster the required funds, the swindler Bais Din then raises the stakes... 

This rogue fraudulent Bais Din is run by a shady guy who calls himself Gestetner!....

Multiple"seruvim" have been issued against fake Bais Din. Many poiskim have called this kangaroo court a farce, including Rav Belsky z"l, Rav Landesman, Rav Willig, Rav Fuerst and Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky.

Well, last night, Lonna Kin, an aguna for 17 years, showed up at the Bais Din to ask for her get.... but the liars, of course wouldn't  pay her any attention since she is only the wife...

Hundreds of people showed up at the Monsey Bais Din Home of these swindlers who call themselves rabbis, to protest this injustice.. New York State Troopers were there to keep the peace..and protect the Gestetner Swindlers Inc.

Meir Kin, who is the maniacal sadist husband of Lonna, obtained his fraudulent "Heter Meah Rabbanim" from these swindlers and he was able to openly practice bigamy; subsequently married some unknown South American, who had no clue to what she got herself into.....

According to psychologists who looked into this particular case, they found Meir to be a narcissistic sociopath, someone who derives pleasure from the pain of others.

Meir Kin and his criminal family rented a truck with posters to specifically defame women who got married with the permission of Gedoiei Yisrael after their husbands refused to give them a get.. these posters are trying to question their status and are calling their children "safeik mamzeirim" ... if they were so concerned about these "mamzeirim" why don't they just give them a get!

Groundbreaking study offers possible cure for autism

 

The Kids Neuro Clinic and Rehab Center, Dubai, on Sunday announced further groundbreaking findings of a new research study on the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in younger children.

The results have been published in the international, peer-reviewed journal, Children.

This is the first report in the medical literature of a treatment approach that can result in the complete resolution of ASD core signs and symptoms in very young children. The report describes Dr. Alsayouf’s highly personalized treatment protocol comprising pharmacological medications combined with standard supportive therapies for children aged less than 4 years old, for whom behavioral interventions have not been successful.

The first study to describe a potential treatment for autism in children of 4 years and older using Dr. Alsayouf’s treatment protocol was published in Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment in November 2020.

Shark Tank’ investor Daymond John Praises Louis Farrakhan's speech

 

“Shark Tank” investor Daymond John is taking heat over a since-deleted tweet praising the remarks delivered by controversial religious leader Louis Farrakhan at DMX’s funeral on Sunday.

“What a powerful speech from Minister Louis Farrakhan for the #dmxfuneral,” John wrote on the social media site.

“His deep understanding of the Bible and respect for other people’s religions was truly inspiring. #RIPDMX,” the Brooklyn-born FUBU founder continued.

Commenters quickly called out John for his support of Farrakhan, pointing to his checkered past.

“Wait, what? He’s made dozens of anti-Semitic statements,” one user wrote.

Another Twitter commenter said: “Respect for other religions? He’s a vicious antisemite and seems proud of it.”

“This is absolutely sickening. Unreal,” said a third person.

Later Sunday, John deleted the post and sent out a follow-up statement in an attempt to clarify his comments. 

“In regards to my tweet regarding DMXs funeral, my comments on Minister Farrakhan were only related to what I just witnessed tonight, unbeknownst to his prior stances,” John wrote. 

“As someone who was fortunate enough to have a step dad of the Jewish faith, I do not condone and never would condone and anti Semitic, prejudice or any remarks of hatred,” he said.

In decades of public life, Farrakhan has attacked Jewish people as “satanic,” publicly questioned the Holocaust and condemned Judaism as a “dirty religion.”

On Sunday, Farrakhan spoke via video at DMX’s private funeral service, touching on the legendary rapper’s global influence.

“DMX is who he was and who he is, and the reason he has affected the people in the hip-hop genre and human beings across the globe is because he was genuine,” Farrakhan said.

Agudah "Tuchis-Lekkers" Invite Cryi'n Schumer as a Presenter at Agudah Webinar....They Talk Only about $$$$$$$

 

Am I missing something?

 I understand and appreciate that the frum Jewish community needs and requires huge amount of funds....

But I find this nauseating .... 

"Nearly 150 people participated in the call. From stimulus checks, to security grants, to money for yeshivas"

This Webinar should not have been publicised in the press ...

It’s no secret that as Senate Majority Leader and senior senator from New York, Charles Schumer is a man whose time is not easy to pin down. But, putting down his trademark “flip phone” for a while, Senator Schumer made himself available, between votes and phone calls from senators, to present at a webinar held by Agudath Israel’s Yeshiva Services department on the topic of the funds and resources made available to Americans, and particularly relevant to the Orthodox Jewish community by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

Nearly 150 people participated in the call. From stimulus checks, to security grants, to money for yeshivas, Senator Schumer explained the details of each of the programs, stressing how important it is that these programs be known and utilized. The Majority Leader also committed to continue working to ensure that federal and state guidelines make the funds as accessible as possible to yeshivas, shuls and other community charities.

Ms. Christina Coughlin, Assistant Commissioner of the New York State EducationDepartment, also joined the webinar to explain in detail what reimbursements and funds are available to nonpublic schools and yeshivas in New York State, and how the schools should proceed to get them. “We appreciate all the work that Assistant Commissioner Coughlin does for the yeshivos and other nonpublic schools on a regular basis and thank her for taking the time to address the schools and answer our questions,” said Rabbi Yehoshua Pinkus, director of Agudah’s Yeshiva Services.

Mr. Shlomo Werdiger, Chairman of Agudah’s Board of Trustees had warm words for the senator. “We thank Senator Schumer for taking time out of his busy schedule as Senate Majority Leader to join us and are extremely grateful to him for fighting for the interests of yeshivas and nonpublic schools, shuls and nonprofits.” Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, Agudah’s Executive Vice President, who chaired the session, added, “What Senator Schumer did in moving this legislation forward and securing $2.75 billion dollars for non public schools was absolutely unprecedented and he deserves a world of credit.”

New Shocking Details On The “Chareidi” Missionary Family In Jerusalem

 

New information has been revealed about the shocking case of an English-speaking Chareidi family who integrated into the English-speaking Chareidi community in French Hill as well as the broader religious community in Jerusalem, and was revealed on Sunday to be Christian missionaries, B’Chadrei Chareidim reported.

The father, Michael, even learned in the past in the Kollel of the Mekubal HaRav Banyahu Shmueli, but following the intervention of anti-missionary figures, he was kicked out of the Kollel.

Meanwhile, Michael was born to a Christian family from New Jersey. His father, William Thomas Elk, who died in 2006, was a member of the Friendship Mennonite Church in Carneys Point, New Jersey. In the past, he taught Christianity in Seattle and presided at Christian weddings.

Currently, Michael works at a gym in Jerusalem that is affiliated with a Christian organization and has reportedly tried to spread Christianity there.

Michael was already investigated by anti-missionary figures six years ago and even admitted to being a missionary but promised to halt all his activities. Since his identity has been known to some for years, including the Yad L’Achim organization and the anti-missionary Beyneynu organization, it’s hard to understand how the family ended up successfully integrating into the community in French Hill but that’s exactly what happened.

Michael presented himself as a Kohen, wrote Tefillin and mezuzos and his children were accepted to Chareidi schools. The story began unraveling only in the past month or two, following the untimely death of the mother from cancer. The community rallied to the family’s side and raised tens of thousands of dollars for them.

The Beyneynu organization said that they have been investigating the case for a long time and were about to reveal the story in the next several days but meanwhile one of the children slipped at school and the whole story blew up.

The 13-year-old daughter of the family [whose Bas Mitzvah was made with community assistance while the mother was fighting cancer], recently told her friend at school that “Jesus accepts everyone. Even if you made a mistake, he’ll accept you.” The shocked classmate told her parents and they immediately began investigating and contacting those who know the family.

Shannon Nuszen of Beyneynu, who specializes in tracking missionaries who disguise themselves as Jews, said that their case has been known for years. In 2014, they discovered the family trying to be “mekareiv” Jews to Jesus on social media networks. They confronted the father, Michael and he admitted that he’s a missionary but he promised to halt all of his missionary activities. The organization continued to track him but one day completely lost track of him. Meanwhile, he and his family had moved to French Hill and begun integrating into the community.

Nuszen said that the children were partners in everything. They knew they were Christians and they played the game well but last week, as mentioned above, one of the girls mentioned Jesus by mistake.

Nuszen explained that before publicizing the story, they were obligated to ensure that all the facts were 100% correct. “We can’t inculpate an entire family of being missionaries without scrutinizing every detail first  – it can cause damage to future generations. So we consulted with Rabbanim and askanim, we examined their roots, and we revealed the truth.”

She also said that “our information shows that there is no sign or proof that the family has Jewish roots. If Michael claims otherwise, he should prove it together with a permit from the Interior Ministry. We don’t have access to the computers of the Interior Ministry. They have no proof that they’re Jews while we have proof that they’re non-Jews.”

The mother, who was also proven to have no Jewish origins, passed away from cancer before Purim and was buried on Har HaMenuchos with a full Jewish funeral.

A statement from Beyneynu says that for more information, please contact Shannon Nuszen, Beyneynu- 058-405-3533 or shannon@beyneynu.com. Rav Avi Elbaz of French Hill is also involved in the case.

Arabs Beating the Hell Out of Jerusalem Chareidim Yet the "Eida Ha'Chreidis" Prohibits Followers From Joining Protest

 

I have to laugh at this news report, well not so much at the News report but at the naive dummies leading the Eida Ha'chreidis!

Arabs are going around beating the crap out of the Chassidishe and Yeshivishe oilim, on a nightly basis... and so caring Jews got together to organise a protest against these Arab savages .....

So you ask .."what could possibly be wrong with that?

Oh... plenty..because the ones who organised the protests are Dati-Leumi...so to them, if you don't wear a silver bekeshe and dirty shoes, you are not part of the Jewish nation.....they are also frightened that their naive children who are leaving these extreme communities by the thousands, would meet other Jews who are frum and see that you can live a Torah life without being part of their non-tolerance community.

Oh... yes .. they will give hashgachas on Dati-Leumi manufactured foods ... yes yes yes ... to take money from them is 100% ok, but to mingle and recognise that Dati/Leumi guys come from the same ancestors ... that no! 

And what is really hysterical is they put out a poster against the protests in Arabic (see above) 

So what's "pshat" in that?

You see ... these Eida Ha'chareidie dummies think that once the Arabs see that the Chareidim are not behind the protests, they will stop beating the crap out of them...and the Arab savages will instead concentrate on beating up other Jews!........

The Eidie Ha'Chareidis learned from Mengele the idea of "selection"

This childish mentality comes from accursed Neturei Karta who believe that if they could only convince the Iranian mullas that they are also against the State of Israel and that they back the Jewish murderers of Iran who vow to wipe the State off the map...then when Iran drops an atomic bomb, chas ve'sholom, they will make sure to avoid Meah Shearim ..

These foolish dopes think that the Arabs only want the settlements, that they don't want Bnei Brak, and Meah Shearim ..

Chassidishe  and Litvishe Leaders pre-WW2 also thought, that if only Jews in the US would stop protesting Hitler ym"s and stop boycotting German products... then Hitler, Mengele and Eichmann would stop killing Jews!

We never learn! 

The Eidah HaChareidis published a letter on Friday against the nationalistic protests organized by Lehava, a Dati Leumi anti-assimilation organization, warning their followers not to join the protests under any circumstances.

On Motzei Shabbos, the Eidah, in an effort to calm the flaming tensions in the city, published the letter in Arabic to clarify that the protests were not “Chareidi.”

"With a trembling heart, we express our opposition and condemn the nationalists who tried to drag the Chareidi community into their protests and calls for revenge against Arab residents of Jerusalem,” the letter stated.

“By bringing their protests into Chareidi neighborhoods, they are putting the community at terrible risk. Who knows what can chalilah happen due to their irresponsible actions.”

“Oy to us from the Chillul Hashem if these provocations are thought to be connected to Yiryei Hashem and Shomrei Torah U’Mitzvos.”

“We call with all our heart for the calming of tensions and the quietening of the battle, of which the results cannot be imagined.  And we declare and say that Chareidi Jewry has no connection to these protests and riots. The Jews who are faithful to the Torah believe that we were exiled from our land through the gezeirah of Hashem and distanced from our land.”

“And we call to yeshivah bochurim, to the parents of talmidim, and those in chinuch: Please ensure that no bochur or child be found at these protests. Guard yourselves in ruchniyus and gashmiyus from the negative influence of nationalists who are not seeking your benefit…they are partners to the uprooting of das and the tearing of the Torah into pieces.”

Biden is Done with Russia, China, Gives Up On Bringing the US Together So He signs law that makes sesame the ninth major food allergen

President Biden on Friday signed into law a new measure that designates sesame as the ninth major food allergy and ramps up allergy research, enacting a bipartisan attempt to address marked growth in certain deadly allergies.

The Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (Faster) Act passed the Senate in March and the House of Representatives this month. It received bipartisan support.

In the past two decades, life-threatening childhood food allergies have risen steadily, growing by about 4 percent per year to afflict 32 million Americans, according to research by Northwestern University, McKinsey & Company, and Food Allergy Research and Education, a nonprofit. Studies estimate that the costs borne by American families — for medical bills, buying special foods or forgoing full-time employment to care for a child with a food allergy — total $24.8 billion annually.

There are several strong theories to explain the uptick, says Jonathan Spergel, chief of the allergies department at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, but one stands out: In 2000, a small study suggested that if parents delayed the introduction of potentially allergenic foods, kids were less likely to develop those allergies.

“Charedei” Family of French Hill Jerusalem, Exposed as Christian Missionaries

 A family living in French Hill for many years has now been exposed as Missionaries. The children were all in the classic Yeshivas and Beis Yaakovs. The father did Safrus for many years for surrounding neighborhoods, and was the local “Kohein” performing many mitzvos of Pidyon Haben. The goal was to bring Christian concepts and beliefs to “friends” and ultimately create doubt in their Religious upbringings.

The wife had become deathly ill and ultimately passed away, which led the community to raise over $30,000. Local organizations had known what was going on for years in an attempt to monitor the situation and be sure he didn’t go to another community.

Once news got out, the father began deleting messages and blurring images from his Gentile Facebook account. It has since also become clear the non-Jewish Christian family had arrived to Israel with forged documentation.

New "Rent Control" Bill Being Sneeked Through Assembly & State Will Destroy New York Housing Market

 Not content with jacking up taxes massively and dangerously mushrooming the state budget, legislators are now looking to inflict yet more pain, by sneaking through a “universal rent control” bill that would clobber the housing market.

This, even though rents in New York City have plunged to decade-long lows.

The legislation, now in committee in both the Assembly and the Senate, is misleadingly labeled “Good Cause Eviction,” when it would essentially force landlords statewide to accept tenants for life — with a cap on yearly rent increases.

That’s right: No building owner could ever evict a tenant or deny him or her a lease renewal, except under narrow circumstances. If landlords tried to raise rent beyond 3 percent, or 150 percent of the region’s Consumer Price Index, that would — by law — be a legitimate reason for a tenant to not pay and still skirt eviction.

The new law would apply to every apartment in the state, thereby instantly subjecting nearly 2 million existing units in the city alone, and any new ones, to rent control — including those rented by the wealthy. And all on top of a raft of harsh measures lawmakers took in 2019 that made it tougher for landlords to make ends meet.

Sure, the bill might sound good for tenants, but there’s no rescinding the laws of economics: It’s too much demand for housing and too little supply that drives up rent, not a lack of regulation. 

Plus, as studies show, rent-control policies only further fuel demand and decrease supply. Parents hang on to large apartments, and keep them off the market, long after the kids are gone — because rent regulation makes their monthly rent too (artificially) low to give up. The prospect of getting a rent-controlled apartment also winds up attracting more people to the market, fueling demand.

Meanwhile, though, landlords can’t recoup costs. They wind up skipping on optional repairs and upgrades and converting rental buildings to co-ops or condos. And you can forget about investors putting up new buildings. Why should they, if they’re only going to lose money?

Contractors and other businesses that depend on work from owners also suffer and the jobs they provide dry up.

“History has shown that strict rent controls lead to less housing, higher rents and more homelessness,” notes landlord rep Jay Martin.

“Whatever housing is left after ‘Good Cause Eviction,’ a k a universal rent control, will be poor quality,” and the result will be “an economic calamity” that’s “worse than the pandemic,” warns Rent Stabilization Association head Joseph Strasburg.

Too bad New York lawmakers don’t care about consequences.

Will the REAL joe Biden Stand Up? Old Joe Biden vs. New Joe Biden

 

Writer Salena Zito best described the Rorschach testthat Donald Trump represented. As she put it in 2016, “The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.” 

Now comes another presidential dilemma: What to make of the new and radical Joe Biden? 

On the surface, it seems an odd question about a 78-year-old man who has spent nearly 50 years in Washington. But the new Biden, the President Biden, doesn’t sound and act like the former senator and vice president. 

In fact, this Biden is so dramatically different that it’s not clear if we should take him either seriously or literally. 

Who the hell is this guy?
