Estranged husband of Murdered Aliza Sherman dead in Florida

Dr. Sanford Sherman, the estranged husband of the late Aliza Sherman, has died in Florida.

Aliza Sherman was a 53-year-old in-vitro fertilization nurse and Beachwood mother who was murdered in downtown Cleveland on March 24, 2013, two days before their divorce trial was set to start. Her murder remains unsolved 11 years later.

Sanford Sherman, 68, was never named a suspect by police in the murder of Aliza Sherman. He died earlier this month, according to Neshama Jewish Funeral Services in Pompano Beach, Fla.

Records show that dating back to Nov. 2, 2000, Beachwood Police were called to the Sherman house 22 times for reports of domestic disturbances, the Cleveland Jewish News previously reported.

After Aliza Sherman’s death, daughter Jennifer Sherman filed a civil lawsuit against Sanford Sherman for charges including counts of conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, civil remedy for criminal acts and civil conspiracy related to Aliza’s estate. Over the course of the civil trial, depositions connected to the case involved Sanford Sherman admitting to an extramarital affair, details of a defamation lawsuit involving an exotic dancer and a reference to a conversation where Sanford solicited advice on how to commit the “perfect murder.”

The suit also alleges that in early 2013, during the divorce case’s discovery process, forensic accounting showed a Merrill Lynch financial account in Aliza’s name only was secretly opened by Sanford Sherman in May 2000. Between 2000 and 2010, he allegedly made more than $2 million in deposits into the account, the CJN reported. The suit showed that in 2004, Sanford Sherman forged a durable power of attorney, which allowed him to withdraw funds from the account. In the following six years, the account was emptied.

Sanford Sherman retired from ophthalmology and closed his Severance Circle practice in 2004, the CJN reported. He later moved to Florida after Aliza’s death.

Aliza Sherman was outside the office of her divorce attorney, Gregory Moore, at the Stafford & Stafford law firm on Erieview Plaza in downtown Cleveland when she was stabbed 11 times by a still-unidentified assailant wearing a face covering.

The investigation into Aliza Sherman’s murder was turned over to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation in 2021, and was previously investigated by Cleveland Police. BCI was recently informed of Sanford Sherman’s death and the investigation into Aliza Sherman’s murder remains active and ongoing, Steve Irwin, press secretary for the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, told the CJN.

In 2023, the CJN produced a multi-episode podcast series about Aliza Sherman’s life, legacy and murder.

The reward for information leading to Aliza Sherman’s killer stands at $100,000 – the largest reward in Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County history. Anyone with information regarding Sherman’s murder should contact Crime Stoppers at 25crime.com or 216-252-7463. Callers can remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward if the information given leads to an arrest or grand jury indictment of a felony offender.

Biden’s fading campaign is creating a Democrat nightmare

                                                                        

If you are a Trump-hating Democrat, you are probably having trouble separating your nightmares from reality.

After all, the Republicans just had a wildly successful convention while your party is forming circular firing squads.

Worst of all, Joe Biden has picked a terrible time to throw a hissy fit, making it impossible to know who will be your party’s presidential nominee.

Consider two reports circulating Friday: One says Biden is “in it to win it” and sees a path to victory, the other insists he and his family are discussing his imminent withdrawal.

At this point, it’s not clear which is true or even which would be better for Dems.

One thing is certain: the confusion perfectly captures the helter-skelter mess Biden has created. His misbegotten presidency amounts to a long list of major failures and he should have had the sense a year ago to pass the torch.

But he and the people around him grew fat with arrogance and, cosseted by a cheerleading media, came to believe their own lies about his “accomplishments.” The comeuppance is harsh, with even his exit a disaster.

Make no mistake — it will be an exit from the race. He’s running out of time and options, and his attacks on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton demonstrate that he’s mad enough to blow up the party on his way out the door.

Feeling betrayed by people he thought were friends and allies, he’s hitting back by making the most incendiary charge one Dem can make against others: blaming them for Trump’s 2016 election.

A Biden source tells NBC: “Can we all just remember for a minute that these same people who are trying to push Joe Biden out are the same people who literally gave us Donald Trump? In 2015, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer pushed Biden aside in favor of Hillary; they were wrong then, and they are wrong now.”

The source went on to denounce polls as “BS” and added: “maybe, just maybe, Joe Biden is more in touch with actual Americans than Obama-Pelosi-Schumer?”

If that’s Biden’s view, it’s especially bizarre coming from a man who has spent 50 years in Washington, where “actual Americans,” as in ordinary people, are as scarce as the proverbial hen’s teeth.

His denial about the polls is also strange given that they have been consistent for months in showing that two-thirds of Democrats believe he should withdraw.

A poll here or there might be off, but it’s a fool’s errand to argue with a clear consensus. Perhaps Biden doesn’t even remember the debate debacle on June 27, but it sealed his fate.

I said then he was toast and predicted he would be gone from the race within a month, so his exit is on schedule.

There’s another reason why Biden can’t be saved: when a Dem incumbent has lost the leftist media, there is no hope. Without the propaganda arm to cover up his stumbles and attack Trump, Biden is forced to articulate his own case, a job beyond his cognitive capacity.

The New York Times, which has turned on Biden with a vengeance, recounted Saturday in painful detail how he fumbled every effort to save himself.

The Gray Lady is finally getting the picture: the president is a bumbling incompetent, and always has been.

OUTRAGIOUS: ICJ: Israel Has No Right To Occupy Palestinian Territory, Denying Them Self-Determination

The ICJ delivered its ruling on the alleged ‘Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory on Friday. In the ruling, the court declared that ‘Israel’s withdrawal of its military does not completely end Israel’s obligations’.

The court declared that Israel continues to have obligations towards Palestinians under the Geneva Convention, which provides that a people should not be deprived of self-determination by any agreements, including those between governments.

Israel has ‘a duty to administer the occupied territory to the benefit of the local population.’ The court noted that ‘the occupation cannot transfer sovereignty’ and that ‘an occupation being prolonged does not itself change this definition.’

The court criticized what it called ‘Israel’s settlement policy’, saying that it was in violation of the Geneva Convention due to Israel’s providing incentives for Israelis to move to Judea and Samaria and recognizing towns in those areas as Israeli territory. “The prohibition of population transfer does not necessarily mean only forcible transfer,” the court noted. It also noted that Israel “requisitioned large amounts of land for the benefit of Israeli settlers to the detriment of the local Palestinian population.”

Israeli jets strike back at Houthis in Yemen after deadly Tel Aviv attack as all signs indicate Deif is dead

 

Israeli fighter jets for the first time attacked Yemen Saturday, retaliating on the Houthi stronghold days after the Iran-backed group attacked the former U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, in a drone strike that killed one and wounded seven.

Saturday’s military operation targeted the western Yemen city of al-Hudaydah, The Times of Israel reported. The bombs destroyed fuel repositories and oil refineries.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the retributive strikes, saying it was a response to the hundreds of attacks the Houthis have aimed at Israel in recent months. The group has joined Iran in efforts to punish Israel for its war in Gaza.

Earlier reports suggested that the US and UK had also sent jets as part of the mission, but the Times of Israel reported that Israeli jets alone carried out the strikes.

The retaliation came as some U.S. politicians, including Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres, began calling on President Biden’s administration to reverse its February 2021 removal of the group from the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list.

Torres, in a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, wrote that, in light of the Tel Aviv attack, “strongly” urged him “to consider relisting the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.”

Meanwhile, Israeli military officials said there is “increasing” evidence last weekend’s major airstrike on Gaza did in fact kill Mohammed Deif, the Hamas leader thought to have masterminded the Oct. 7 terror attacks on the Jewish state that triggered the ongoing nine-month offensive.

“The signs are increasing as to the success of the elimination of Muhammad Deif,” said IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, reports the Times of Israel.

Hagari said Hamas is concealing what happened to Deif July 13, when IDF forces dropped five 2,000-pound bombs in the al-Mawasi area, taking out Hamas commander Rafa’a Salameh.

Hagari claims Salameh and Deif “were next to each other at the time” of last week’s bombings, and confirmed Salameh was “definitely eliminated” in the attack.

Word of Deif’s likely demise came on the heels of IDF’s strikes Saturday on a building linked to a company that allegedly funds the terrorist group’s atrocities.

The building, located in a designated humanitarian zone on the Gaza Strip, was bombed on Friday, the Times of Israel reported.

IDF said the business was used for safekeeping Hamas munitions and funneling money to the terrorists since the war’s start.

Biden Antisemites weighing sanctions against two Israeli ministers

 The Biden administration is weighing sanctions against Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, head of the Religious Zionism party, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who heads Otzma Yehudit, Axios reported.

The Axios report quoted three US officials, who said that the US government sees the two ministers as responsible for the unrest and security situation in Judea and Samaria.

The report comes ahead of the expected meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, which is scheduled for early next week.

On Monday evening, the US Treasury Department announced that it would remove Aviad Shlomo Sarid, a resident of Revava in Samaria, from the list of sanctions that were mistakenly imposed on him.

The sanctions were imposed on Sarid following a misidentification, as his name is similar to one of the leaders of the Tzav 9 organization, Aviad Sarid. The US had also imposed sanctions on Reut Ben Haim from Tzav 9, a 38-year-old mother of eight who resides in Netivot.

Washington Post Slams the Parents of Hostages Parents For Not Condemning Israel then Delets it!

 

The Washington Post has deleted a post on X, which scolded the distraught parents of an Israeli-American hostage held in Gaza, for not accusing Israel of killing innocent Gazans. Even after the post was deleted, the article itself echoes the sentiment.

The parents of Omer Neutra addressed the RNC in an extremely emotional speech, in an effort to bring attention to those Americans (and Israelis) being held captive since Oct. 7, and the Biden administration’s failure to bring them home.

The now deleted post read:

 “Omer Neutra has been missing since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. When his parents speak publicly, they don’t talk about Israel’s assault on Gaza that has killed over 38,000 Palestinians, according to local officials. Experts have warned of looming famine.”

He is not "missing" he is being held hostage!

The post received major backlash for asserting that Omer was “missing”, not being held captive and that his parents should be advocating on behalf of civilians in Gaza. Some are calling for the editor and author to be fired.

TV host Lou Dobbs dies at 78

 Lou Dobbs, the conservative political pundit and TV host who was a nightly presence on Fox Business Network for more than a decade, passed away on Thursday at the age of 78, according to The Associated Press.

His death was announced in a post on his official X account, which called him a "fighter till the very end -- fighting for what mattered to him the most, God, his family and the country."

"Lou's legacy will forever live on as a patriot and a great American. We ask for your prayers for Lou's wonderful wife Debi, children and grandchildren," the post said.

Dobbs hosted "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on FOX Business from 2011 to 2021, following two separate stints at CNN.

Fox canceled Dobbs’ show in February of 2021, after the network and Dobbs were sued for defamation by voting technology firm Smartmatic, which claimed $2.7 billion in losses from the network for promoting false claims that the company was involved in fraud in the November 2020 presidential election.

A mediator in 2023 pushed the two sides toward a $787 million settlement, averting a trial.

At the time of the cancellation, Dobbs' show had the highest viewership on Fox News' affiliate channel, averaging more than 300,000 viewers every night.

Fox News Media said in a statement on Thursday that the network was saddened by Dobbs' passing.

"An incredible business mind with a gift for broadcasting, Lou helped pioneer cable news into a successful and influential industry," the statement said. "We are immensely grateful for his many contributions and send our heartfelt condolences to his family."

Chief Rabbi's ruling: Releasing Murderers & Rapists 'permitted' in order to free hostages

 

Outgoing Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef on Thursday morning urged the Israeli government to sign a ceasefire-prisoner swap deal with the Hamas terror group.

Speaking at an event at the President's Residence in Jerusalem, Rabbi Yosef urged, "They should finish the deal already. There's nothing else to do - release terrorists with blood on their hands, it hurts the heart, we released [Hamas leader] Yahya SInwar and we saw what happened, but this is a matter of immediate life and death."

"If you don't release them, they will kill the hostages, this is a time-sensitive matter of life and death. It could be that these [terrorists] will later go out and kill, that's not immediate, the hostages are immediate."

Rabbi Yosef also noted the opinion of his father, the late Sephardic Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef: "We are permitted to release all of the accursed terrorists, and later they will do something small and we will immediately kill them. We need to pray that all of them return to their homes and are mentally well, and may we hear good news."

Regarding the IDF, he added, "We must not forget that they are emissaries. All of the soldiers sacrifice their lives. We learn Torah and pray for them."

"They protect us. What would we do if there weren't all of these soldiers? They are G-d's emissaries, they are emissaries of the One Above, they sacrifice their lives for us, we pray for them."

8-week-old Lakewood girl dies after Father left her in hot cars during heat wave While Learning in Kolel

 

Kollel Cheshek Shlomo synagogue

An 8-week-old girl met her fate in New Jersey, marking the 11th and 12th hot car fatalities in the US this year, according to officials.

In the latest tragedy, 28-year-old father "AC" left his infant daughter in a vehicle for “an extended period of time” in Lakewood Township amid a sweltering summer heat wave, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Officers responded to a report of a child in cardiac arrest near New Egypt Road around 1:45 p.m. Despite lifesaving efforts, the 8-week-old baby was declared dead on scene, according to police and prosecutors.

C was inside of the Kollel Cheshek Shlomo synagogue while his daughter was trapped in the hot car, News 12 New Jersey reported.

The father was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

He was taken to the Ocean County Jail and additional charges may be forthcoming, according to the prosecutor’s office.

On Monday as blistering heat has suffocated most of the country.

The boy was found inside of a car in the parking lot of the Sleepy Hollow Apartment Complex

Monday’s tragedies are the 11th and 12th confirmed deaths of children left in hot cars in the nation this year, according to national nonprofit Kids and Car Safety.

Last week, a 5-year-old twin died in Nebraska after his foster mom left him trapped in a vehicle for seven hours in 89-degree heat while she went to work at a nail salon, police said.

Earlier this month, a 2-year-old girl died after her 37-year-old father left her in the brutal Arizona heat for hours as he played video games. He was charged with murder.

A total of 29 children died from hot-car related deaths in 2023 and another 36 died in 2022, according to the organization. The average number of US child hot car deaths is 38 per year.

Kids and Car Safety Director Amber Rollins told The Post on Wednesday that a majority of hot car fatalities involve loving, caring parents who slip into “autopilot mode” that leads to the child being left behind in the car.

“It’s really the product of the right circumstances. These cases, almost all of them, are very much the same,” Rollins said. 

“The number one contributing factor is sleep deprivation, which is par for the course for parents of young children, combined with a change in the normal daily routine,” she continued. “A lot of these parents aren’t even used to having a child yet, and the first few months are brutal.”

Some safety tips the organization recommends to ensure the children are accounted for include getting into the habit of putting an item that’s necessary to a parent’s day — like a work laptop or wallet — in the backseat.

“The idea is that its training you of getting into the habit of opening the backdoor every time you leave the vehicle,” Rollins said.

It’s also recommended that parents keep a “reminder item” like a large stuffed animal in their vehicles that “lives in the backseat of your car.” When the children are in the car, parents should put the item in the front as a visual cue to remind them their child is there.

Kids and Car Safety helped pass federal legislation as part of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act which includes a mandate for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue federal safety regulations to the auto industry on technology that automakers must put in vehicles to prevent hot car deaths.

Rollins said safety standards were supposed to be submitted last fall, but they still haven’t issued it. They’ve repeatedly pushed back the deadline, with the agency announcing just last week they’d need until April 2025.

“Meanwhile, every week, children continue dying, families continue burying their children and it’s unacceptable,” she said.

Since 1990, at least 1,095 children have died in hot cars, about 88% of whom were 3 years old or younger, according to the organization.

A Double Win for Trump as a Date Is Set To Decide Fani Willis’s Disqualification

 The Georgia Court of Appeals’s decision to hold oral arguments on the disqualification of District Attorney Fani Willis on December 5 suggests that a collision could be coming between the Peach State and a possible second Trump White House.

That the session is scheduled amounts to a victory for Trump and his co-defendants, who requested the session. It is another setback for Ms. Willis, who sought to convince the review tribunal that Trump had not mustered up enough evidence to earn such a hearing. All three judges set to hear the case — Trenton Brown, Todd Markle, and Benjamin Land —  are Republican appointees.

The timing of the hearing could be another boon to Trump. The Court of Appeals had set a tentative date of October 4 for the hearing, which would have meant that arguments would have been rehearsed a month before the election. The court has until March 2025 to render a decision. The appellate court has frozen all motions in the case during the pendency of this appeal.      

The issue of whether Ms. Willis can continue to prosecute the sprawling racketeering case she brought against Trump and 18 others comes to the appeals court via a petition from the 45th president. The trial court judge, Scott McAfee, ruled that Ms. Willis could stay on if her former lover and special prosecutor, Nathan Wade, stepped aside, which he did with dispatch. 

Judge McAfee found that Ms. Willis’s behavior, which he noted exuded a “significant appearance of impropriety,” was far from impeccable. He described her characterization of the affair as one that emitted an “odor of mendacity” and castigated her comments about her opponents “playing the race card” as “legally improper.”

Ms. Willis’s office paid Mr. Wade more than $650,000 for his services. He has never before prosecuted a felony case. During his employment at Fulton County, the two took trips to destinations like Napa Valley, Belize, and Aruba, all paid for by Mr. Wade. Ms. Willis claims that she reimbursed him in cash that she kept at home. Her father testified that practice was a “Black thing.”

Trump contends that Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade, who maintain that they only began dating after Mr. Wade was hired, are lying. The 45th president has marshaled cellphone evidence that purports to show that the amorous duo exchanged thousands of calls and text messages before Mr. Wade was hired. He has since told ABC News that workplace romances are “as American as apple pie.” 

The December 5 date throws into sharp relief the possibility that this case could lurch back into motion soon after its most prominent defendant wins the election — though before he is sworn into office as the 47th president on January 20. The order from the Court of Appeals gives no indication that its schedule is subject to revision in the event that Trump wins. 

A sitting president has never faced state criminal charges. The Supreme Court ruled that President Clinton could be subject to federal civil suit, and Department of Justice regulations prohibit the prosecution of a president on federal criminal charges. Trump could still challenge the Georgia charges in light of the Supreme Court’s grant of immunity for official presidential acts, which could protect some of the behavior cited in Ms. Willis’s indictment.

Trump, should he return to the White House, could not fire Ms. Willis — or a possible replacement. His control over prosecutors would extend only over the federal kind. Similarly, he could possibly pardon himself for federal charges — “offenses against the United States” is how the Constitution puts it — but not for state ones. It is possible, though, that the Supreme Court could, in the name of protecting a functioning Executive, freeze the case until 2029.

On Wednesday Mr. Smith filed notice to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit that he intends to appeal Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling that his appointment violated the Constitution because he was not confirmed by the Senate nor hired under an applicable law. Now, the special counsel’s chances of ever reaching a jury on the Mar-a-Lago charges depend on the riders at Atlanta.
