Facebook’s ‘independent’ board stocked with Trump haters

 

What do you get if you cross a former Danish prime minister, someone who once edited the left-wing Guardian newspaper, a Yemini activist, a bunch of law professors and a Pakistani digital rights advocate? The predictable banning of Donald Trump.  

Those are just some of the members of the Facebook Oversight Board, a kind of social media Supreme Court, one the left has already packed. Yesterday, the group extended the banning of Trump from Facebook for six months, urging the company to come up with guidelines that would extend his censoring. Considering how central Facebook can be to political fundraising and outreach, not to mention news, exiling Trump is no small matter. It is meddling with democracy. 

Facebook suggests this 20-member group is “independent,” but that’s a farce. 

A cursory glance at the board members show how the fix was in against Trump from the start: 

• Co-chair Jamal Greene, a Columbia Law professor, has tweeted “The transparency of Trump’s unfitness means, almost tautologically, that a big chunk of his supporters are conspiracy-minded.” 
• 
  
• Nighat Dad, a lawyer and “internet activist” in Pakistan, had this to say. “Mr Trump FYI Pakistan is soon going to enact Transgender Protection Act 2017. Sorry America sad to see what kind of country you have become.” 
• 
  
• Alan Rusbridger, former editor-in-chief of the Guardian who is for some reason on the board, tweeted, “This is terrifying” when Trump said he would decide when the nation reopens from COVID-19 lockdowns.

• Nicolas Suzor, a Queensland University of Technology law professor in Australia, praised an article comparing Trump to a certain Nazi leader, writing: “I love this! ‘Teen Vogue vs Trump; American Vogue vs Hitler’ ” 
• 
  
• Afia Asantewaa Asare-Kyei, a human rights lawyer from Ghana and South Africa, who criticized Trump’s immigration policies. The group she was a part of, Open Society Foundation, once Tweeted at Trump: “We support the right to protest, enshrined in the 1st Amendment, and are shocked a sitting president does not share the Founders’ view.”
• 
  
• The closest the board seems to get to a conservative is Stanford law professor Michael McConnell, who John McCain and Mitt Romney might have made a Supreme Court justice had they been elected, and John Samples, vice president of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. Neither are full throated, unapologetic, or conservative torchbearers. In fact Samples appeared on a podcast called, “Trump’s Assault On America’s Institutions.” 
• 
  
• Not involved in the Trump decision was Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan, but that’s only because she recently stepped down — to join the Biden administration as principal deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division.

This is just a sample, but considering that many of the other board members are “activists” or law professors, it’s doubtful any of them own a MAGA hat.

 This was Trump’s jury, not a jury of peers but a jury of jeers. 

The reason this all matters of course is that a third of Americans get their news from Facebook. The platform is so ubiquitous that for many people it’s the only way they connect with their families and friends.

Allowing a far left leaning, international commission to decide if a former President can reach those Americans is absurd and dangerous.  

The bottom line is that an overwhelmingly progressive group of experts have decided that Trump, who received 74 million votes for president, is too dangerous to be allowed on the world’s most important platform. No corporation in our country should have that much power to silence political speech, certainly not one that can’t even put together a fair or balanced oversight board.  

Every day Republicans are more ready to rein the social media giant. Facebook may object, but hey, at least those lawmakers are elected.

Yehuda Guetta, 19, who was critically wounded in the Arab shooting attack at Tapuah junction on Sunday Passes Away

 19-year-old Yehuda Guetta, a student at the Itamar Yeshiva who was critically wounded in the shooting attack at the Tapuah junction earlier this week, succumbed to his wounds at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva on Wednesday evening.

Guetta, a resident of the Kiryat Moshe neighborhood of Jerusalem, is survived by his parents, four brothers and two sisters.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the death of Yehuda Guetta and said, "I send my deepest condolences to the family of the late Yehuda Guetta. The IDF, the Shin Bet and the security forces are in pursuit of the criminal terrorist. We will reach him very soon and will bring him to justice. These are difficult moments for the Guetta family and the entire people of Israel are with them in their time of grief.”

Defense Minister Benny Gantz issued a statement following the death of Guetta and said, "My heart goes out tonight to the Guetta family, who lost Yehuda tonight, only 19 years old, after he was shot in the criminal attack at Tapuach Junction. The IDF and all the security forces will not rest until they catch the terrorist who murdered Yehuda. My deepest condolences, I wish you would know no more sorrow," Gantz wrote.

Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, called for the checkpoints in Judea and Samaria to be restored and for a new community to be established in Samaria in response to the murder.

"A heavy tragedy - not only for the Itamar Yeshiva and the settlement in Samaria - but for the entire State of Israel. Yehuda did not die of cancer. He was murdered because he was a Jew in the Land of Israel. He was killed by a vile murderer, who was instigated and funded by the terrorist Abu Mazen and his terrorist friends from Ramallah. The Israeli government must wake up," Dagan called.

"Our lives are more important than any politics. I am not ready to hear that the IDF will contain the incident. Our lives are not a line in a presentation. The Israeli government must now show leadership. I call on the Prime Minister to immediately approve the establishment of a new community near the Tapuah junction, the scene of the murder, and to double the community of Itamar, where Yehuda had studied. Terrorism must not feel that it is winning. It should be clear that the people of Israel are defeating their vile enemies," he added.

Meanwhile on Wednesday, security forces continued to search for the terrorist suspected of carrying out the shooting attack at Tapuah junction.

Palestinian Arab media reported that the perpetrator is Muntasser Shalbi, from the village of Turmus Aya in the Ramallah area, and that in the last two days the Shin Bet and the IDF have called his family and warned them not to help him.

In a heartwarming gesture, a secular couple from Tel Aviv is donating NIS 1 million to the families of the Meron victims.

Philanthropist and businessman Marius Nacht, one of Israel’s leading entrepreneurs who co-founded the CheckPoint company and is regarded as as one of the founding fathers of Israel’s cybersecurity industry, and his wife, Inbar Nacht, a lawyer, stated on Tuesday that they will be giving NIS 18,000 to each of the 45 families who lost a family member in the disaster.

The donation will be carried out via the couple’s family foundation, Nacht Philanthropic Ventures, which launched a number of initiatives during the coronavirus crisis.

The foundations’ representative, Nachman Rosenberg, told Ynet: “From the moment the news of the tragedy hit, the Nacht family felt obligated, from a moral and Zionist standoint, to find a way to assist, and strengthen the sense of mutual responsibility.”

“After it became known that many of the mourning families struggled with daily financial difficulties, which was exacerbated by the tragedy, Attorney Inbar Nacht made a decision to grant NIS 18,000 that would be immediately transferred to each family directly, without intermediaries.”

Washington DC mayor bans DANCING at weddings Because People are Not "Shomer Negia"

 

Washington DC has loosened most of its COVID-19 restrictions and doubled allowed capacity in places like schools, gyms and live entertainment events - but has drawn a line on dancing or standing at weddings. 

Under an order issued on April 26 by Mayor Muriel Bowser, wedding attendees must remain socially distanced in their seats with standing and dancing both prohibited. The order does lift attendance limits, however, with weddings allowed at 25 percent capacity or up to 250 people, whichever is fewer.  

The dancing ban was put in place as an extra layer of safety to reduce the spread of COVID-19 because when people stand and dance their behavior changes, the DC mayor's office told FOX 5 DC. For example, people are more likely to get close and touch each other without a dancing ban.

It was one of the events now allowed under the new COVID-19 guidelines in DC and was listed in the mayor's 12-page decree that also loosened restrictions in other areas, such allowing people to buy booze without food, and doubled capacity from 25 to 50 per cent in non-essential retail businesses, restaurants, bars, gyms and colleges. 

But the dance ban is turning off future newlyweds. 

Jillian Harig, a bride who is getting married in July, told FOX 5 that people look forward to having fun and dancing at a wedding as part of the celebration. 

'We're used to wearing masks at this point, we've been doing this since March. Why not allow dancing but make masks a requirement or even requiring a negative COVID test for wedding guests or provide your vaccination card,' Harig told FOX 5.

'A lot of the country is reopening at this point so to me no dancing or standing at a reception seems like it's a little bit more of stepping backwards instead of moving forward to more of that normalcy that we're all looking forward to,' she said. 

'I think the light is at the end of the tunnel. I am disappointed and shocked about this.'

The executive order is in effect until May 20, unless the mayor's office issues another update. Anyone who violates the order can be fined, and venues can have their business licenses suspended or revoked.

CDC releases 'cruel' summer camp rules: Masks must be worn indoors and outdoors, no toy sharing and kids must be 3ft apart

 

The CDC has been slammed for releasing 'cruel' rules for summer camps that instruct campers to wear masks indoors and outdoors and remain at least three feet apart. 

Last month, the CDC shared guidance on how summer camps should operate. That guidance includes mask-wearing indoors and outdoors for campers and staffers whether vaccinated or not. Vaccinations, for now, are limited to adults, not kids.

'All people in camp facilities should wear masks at all times with exceptions for certain people, or for certain settings or activities, such as while eating and drinking or swimming,' the CDC said. 

According to the CDC, campers should wear their masks for sports and athletic activities that are done outdoors when possible. Campers should also avoid playing close-contact or indoor sports.

The guidance comes as summer camps that have been devastated by the pandemic prepare to welcome new campers in the coming months. About 60 summer camps had to close their doors due to the impact of the pandemic over the last year.  

The agency also noted that campers should maintain a distance of three feet between all campers within a cohort, at least six feet between all campers outside of their cohort and at least six feet while eating and drinking, including among people within the same cohort. 

Experts have blasted this guidance as 'draconian' with one infectious disease scientist telling the New York Magazine: 'With staff and parents vaccinated, there is no reason to continue incredibly strict mitigation efforts or put severe limitations on activities.

'Requiring kids to continuously wear masks at camps, even while outside playing in the heat, when it provides little additional protection is unfair and cruel to our children. 

Epidemiologist Dimitri Christakis told the publication that the CDC's guidance is 'unfairly draconian'. He added: 'We should let kids be close and play, he said, adding that 'keeping children masked for activities like baseball and tennis is ridiculous'. 

Most camp directors sat out last summer as the virus raged across the country, either because of state restrictions that barred them from opening or because of concerns about keeping kids healthy. 

But with cases declining and more people vaccinated each day, many are feeling more confident about reopening this season.

Malian woman gives birth to NINE Babies and ALL five girls and four boys are 'doing fine'

 

A Malian woman has given birth to nine babies after medics missed two on her scans and told her she would have seven.

Halima Cisse, 25, and all five girls and four boys are 'doing fine' after a cesarean section was carried out successfully in Morocco.

Ms Cisse was flown from the north of the poor West African state to Morocco to make sure the babies were delivered safely after the pregnancy attracted the attention of the West African nation's leaders.

Moroccan health ministry spokesman Rachid Koudhari said he had no knowledge of such a multiple birth having taken place in one of the country's hospitals.

But Mali's health ministry said in a statement that Cisse had given birth to five girls and four boys by Caesarean section. 

'The newborns (five girls and four boys) and the mother are all doing well,' Mali's health minister, Fanta Siby, said in a statement. 

The minister added that she had been kept informed by the Malian doctor who accompanied Cisse to Morocco.

They are due to return home in several weeks' time, she added.

Siby offered her congratulations to 'the medical teams of Mali and Morocco, whose professionalism is at the origin of the happy outcome of this pregnancy'. 

Cisse was expected to give birth to seven babies, according to ultrasounds conducted in Morocco and Mali that missed two of the siblings. 

All were delivered by caesarean section.

Cases of women successfully carrying septuplets to term are rare - and nonuplets even rarer. 

Medical complications in multiple births of this kind often mean that some of the babies do not reach full term.

The first recorded case of nonuplets came in Sydney in the 1970s, although sadly none of the babies survived, according to The Independent.

Another set of nonuplets were born on 26 March 1999, in Malaysia to Zurina Mat Saad. Like the case in the 1970s, none of the babies survived longer than six hours. 

In 2009, a woman in the US gave birth to octuplets - eight babies - with all surviving past birth, and by 2019, all had celebrated their tenth birthday.

In a more recent case, a woman in Texas gave birth to sextuplets - two sets of twin boys and one pair of twin girls - in 2019.

New book reveals previously unknown German Holocaust crimes

 

East Germany's intelligence agency deliberately withheld information that incriminated Nazi criminals, including infamous Auschwitz physician Josef Mengele, a new book by German historian Henry Leide revealed. 

In Auschwitz und Staatssicherheit, Leide explained that the agency, called the Stasi, buried in its archives the testimony of Dr. Horst Fischer, a German doctor who also worked at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, which could have otherwise aided the capture of Mengele, who fled to South America after World War II. 

Fischer was arrested by East German investigators in 1965 for heading the selection process at Auschwitz and the Monowitz concentration camps. Stasi officials were looking to get information from the doctor on Nazi criminals who had not yet been brought to justice, and Fischer, who was facing a death sentence, provided them with detailed testimony in hopes to ease his punishment. 

Fischer thought his cooperation would help spare his life, but eight weeks later, he was executed in Leipzig on July 8, 1966. 

The testimony he gave to Stasi incriminated Mengele, known as the Angel of Death, who performed horrific experiments on Auschwitz prisoners, particularly twins. 

Instead of using Fischer's testimony to track down Mengele, Stasi stacked it away in its archives on the Nazi era, which was set up in Berlin, next to its headquarters.  

The document was not used at all, despite efforts by West Germany, Israel, and Nazi hunters to track down Mengele. East Germany pretended to lead the struggle against fascism, but in reality, it only hindered efforts to bring Mengele to justice. 

In his testimony, Fischer spoke of the first time he met Mengele in the summer of 1941 when he served as a doctor in the SS Wiking division that participated in Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany. 

"During our first meeting, which was very superficial and short, Mengele gave the impression of a humble man, very closed and composed," Fischer said. 

The next time they met in Auschwitz, Fischer returned to Germany from the war after having contracted tuberculosis. He was appointed as a doctor at the Monowitz camp and the IG Farben chemical company, which produced the Zyklon B cyanide-based pesticide that the Nazi regime used in its gas chambers to murder millions of Jews. 

Fischer was also responsible for the selection process of Jews who were transported to Auschwitz. He called the shots as to who was declared able-bodied and was sent to the concentration camps and who was sent to their deaths.

Watch Video from Two Years Ago at the Meron Death Trap!

Evidence is emerging very quickly that unfortunately it was our Chareidie Askanim that should be held responsible for this deadly fiasco. 

There I said it...

They are quick to blame Police whom they call "Nazis" and are now scapegoating them, but evidence is emerging that the Askanim themselves are responsible for this deadly event..

On one hand they scream that this was a "Gezeirah min Hashamayim"and in the very next breath, they blame Police..

 See above "Kol Korah" that says in the name of "Daas Torah" that it is prohibited to hand over control of Meron to the government. 

Remember, that the Kotel, Means Hamachpeilah, Kever Rachel is under government control .

The above "Kol Korah" was signed by the following Gedoilim:

Rav Elyashiv. Rav Wosner. Rav Steinman. Rav Michel Lefkowitz. Rav Scheinberg. Rav Karelitz. Rav Shmuel Auerbach. Rav Chaim Kanievsky. Rav Yitzchak Scheiner. Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel. Rav Yaakov Hillel. 

Notice that the convicted and admitted Sexual Predator Eliezer Berland, also signed this notice.

Sheldon Silver Gets Released from Prison

 

A sickly looking Sheldon Silver was wheeled into his Manhattan apartment building in a wheelchair Tuesday afternoon after being released from prisonon furlough earlier in the day. 

The ex-speaker of the New York State Assembly and convicted swindler was accompanied by his wife, Rosa Mandelkern, as he made his way into his Grand Street building on the Lower East Side. 

The disgraced politician didn’t speak as he returned home, wearing a gray baseball cap, gray sweatshirt and a blue surgical mask. 

His friend and supporter Akiva Homnick met Silver and his wife in front of the building and later told reporters that the former lawmaker was “thrilled” to be home. 

“He wasn’t super smily but I’m sure inside he’s thrilled and ecstatic to be out,” Homnick said.

“I’m sure he’s thrilled to be home. Any time you don’t have to be in solitary confinement or even in prison it’s always a step in the right direction,” he added. 

Homnick said Silver spent a large chunk of his time behind bars in solitary confinement, as he was forced to quarantine every time he saw a doctor. 

Silver was cut loose on furlough from Otisville Correctional Facility — after serving less than a year of his his 6 1/2-year sentence — while waiting for the Bureau of Prisons to decide if he’ll be eligible to serve the remainder of his term on home confinement. 

The BOP was given broad authority to release inmates to home confinement last year amid the growing coronavirus pandemic.

‘Experts’ Doubt the U.S. Will Ever Reach ‘HERD IMMUNITY’

 

“Experts” are now doubting the United States will ever be able to reach herd immunity in regards to the Chinese coronavirus, according to a report from the New York Times, which concluded the virus is “here to stay.”

The New York Times, in a Monday report, cited a “widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts” who believe the herd immunity threshold is “not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.

Rather, they say the virus will stick around, becoming something the U.S. manages, though it remains unclear what the immediate ramifications of that mindset are, whether it be extended universal masking or continued social distancing.

“The virus is unlikely to go away,” Rustom Antia, an evolutionary biologist at Emory University in Atlanta, told the Times. “But we want to do all we can to check that it’s likely to become a mild infection.”

The Times also spoke to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who last year gradually shifted the goalposts of reaching herd immunity, moving from 60-70 percent to over 80 percent.

“People were getting confused and thinking you’re never going to get the infections down until you reach this mystical level of herd immunity, whatever that number is,” he said.

“That’s why we stopped using herd immunity in the classic sense,” Fauci added. “I’m saying: Forget that for a second. You vaccinate enough people, the infections are going to go down.”

“If the herd immunity threshold is not attainable, what matters most is the rate of hospitalizations and deaths after pandemic restrictions are relaxed, experts believe,” the outlet reported, pitching vaccines as the best way to move forward.

21-TON Chinese rocket is falling to Earth and nobody knows where it could land

 

An out-of-control 21-ton Chinese rocket is falling to earth and could land on populated areas, experts warn.  

China’s Long March 5b rocket that launched Thursday is predicted to crash back to Earth within the next few days. 

Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer who tracks objects orbiting Earth, told SpaceNews that it’s path takes it ‘a little farther north than New York, Madrid and Beijing and as far south as southern Chile and Wellington, New Zealand’. 

It could land anywhere in this range, that covers oceans and populated and unpopulated areas, but most of it would burn up in the atmosphere.   

Satellite trackers have detected the 100-foot-long rocket travelling at more than four miles per second.  

China launched Long March 5B at 11:23 am local time on Thursday to deliver the first stage of its upcoming space station.

The module, named ‘Tianhe’, or ‘Harmony of the Heavens’, will become living quarters for three crew members once the massive structure is complete.

China aims to complete its Chinese Space Station, known as Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) by the end of 2022, state media reported, after several further modules are launched.

When complete, Tiangong Space Station  will orbit Earth at an altitude of 211 to 280 miles.    

……

However, the return of the rocket could put an end to China’s celebration if the vehicle lands in an inhabited area.

Space debris trackers observed it moving slowly and unpredictably to Earth over the past few days, and  reentry of the vehicle would be one of the largest

President expected to give Lapid mandate to form government

 

President Reuven Rivlin is likely to task Opposition Leader Yair Lapid with forming a new government once Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s mandate expires, Israel Hayomreported Tuesday morning, citing senior political officials.

Netanyahu’s mandate to form a coalition expires at midnight between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

While Netanyahu could request an extension, it is unclear if the prime minister will seek an extension.

A senior official in the president’s office told Israel Hayom that Rivlin is leaning towards giving the mandate to Lapid rather than Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett.

The official explained that the President has reasoned that “one bloc” – the Right – has “already had a chance” and failed, and there is no reason to expect that another party from the same bloc will be more successful.

In addition, the official cited in the report said that Rivlin won’t hold another round of consultations with faction leaders, but will accept comments from lawmakers regarding any changes in the political situation.

“He won’t hold an additional round of consultations. Whoever wants to can express their position. The President will get a picture of the situation based on everything he sees – including talks with party representatives who request a meeting.”

The report also pointed to growing tensions between Lapid and Bennett, with the Opposition Leader hoping to receive the mandate in place of Bennett, fearing that if Bennett is tasked with forming a government, he will use the mandate to form a coalition with Netanyahu and the Right.

Heartwarming meeting between Meron victim and the Cop who saved him

 

Avigdor Hayut, whose son was among the 45 people killed in the Meron disaster last week, met Monday with the police officer who saved his life and the life of one of his sons during the Lag Ba’Omer catastrophe.

The officer, Rami Olan, visited the Hayut family Monday to offer his condolences on the loss of their son.

During Olan’s visit, Hayut recalled how Olan rescued him, did not, "ask me about my religious background, which party I supported, or if I were Jewish, Druze, or Muslim."

“I was lying on the floor, down on the ramp, with the mass of hundreds of people pressing down on us,” said Avidgor Hayut.

“I saw Rami yelling to me, ‘Give me your hand, I’ll pull you out.’ But I said ‘forget about me, save the boy.’”

“At that point, Rami tried, but was unsuccessful.”

"What Rami did for me shows that we can make coexistence work if we really put our minds to it, that it’s in our hands," he said and continued, "We can do it when disaster strikes, but that doesn't have to be the case. We can also do it on an everyday level."

"What happened is in the past. God took my son's life and my student's but thanks to Rami my life and my son's were saved."

Stunning Therapy Knocks Out Cancer by training immune cells to seek and destroy deadly threats

 

While it sounds like the stuff of science fiction, a cancer treatment in which a patient’s own cells are engineered to hunt down and wipe out their disease — and then linger in the body to stop the cancer returning — is helping to save patients’ lives.

The results of the treatment, known as CAR T-cell therapy, have been astonishing. 

Patients who had exhausted all other options and been told they had just months to live have gone into remission. Others have even been cured by the one-off dose.

In trials, all signs of cancer disappeared in more than 80 per cent of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia — the most common cancer in children — after receiving CAR T-cells.

Success stories include Emily Whitehead, now 16, who in 2012 became the first child in the world to take part in a CAR T-cell trial.

Emily, who only had weeks to live when her leukaemia became resistant to conventional therapies, had the revolutionary treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in the U.S. when she was six years old. She is still cancer-free today.
