The Second Biggest Loser in 2024: Chuck Schumer

by Neil Munro

The second-biggest loser of the 2024 election is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is being demoted from the powerful Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate to the largely powerless Minority Leader.

Schumer’s demotion to the minority status — which is shared by the other 46 Democrats — was smoothed by his support for President Joe Biden’s maximum-migration policy.

That Schumer-backed policy imported roughly nine million southern migrants — ensuring the defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris and the loss of three Democrat-held Senate seats. That three-seat loss created a new 53-seat Republican majority in the Senate, thus forcing Schumer to hand over the gavel and return to minority status.

Moreover, this is the second time Schumer has lost the Majority Leader job because he prefers mass migration above investment in American citizens’ prosperity, productivity, and births.

In 2014, the Democrats lost five Senate seats because President Barack Obama welcomed illegal migrants and pushed for passage of the “Gang of Eight” amnesty and cheap labor bill. Schumer supported the bill, which canceled his expected promotion to Senate Majority Leader in 2015.

By 2022, Schumer had forgotten his 2014 election disaster and was back touting the mass migration directed by Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas:

The 2024 election was a rerun of the 2014 election, in part, because both disasters were caused by the Democrat party’s increasingly unpopular welcome for millions of migrants.

Democrat senators are blaming the Schumer-backed policy for their fall. “We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democrat senator told the Hill for a November 29 report. “That’s political malpractice. That’s not someone else’s fault. That’s not the groups pushing us around,” the senator added.

Syria in Huge Trouble as Rebels Seize Control Of Aleppo

Syrian rebel forces have breached Syria’s second-largest city, Aleppo, in their strongest and swiftest advance since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011.

The fighters, led by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militant group (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra), reached the city center on Friday evening after having been expelled from Aleppo nearly ten years ago by regime forces and allies of President Bashar al-Assad.

The Syrian army told Reuters on Saturday dozens of its soldiers had been killed in the attack, forcing the army to redeploy in the biggest challenge to the Assad regime in years.

The same forces also reportedly seize a Russian military armored vehicle in the northern Hama countryside, southwest of Aleppo, on Saturday evening. Local sources reported regime forces were retreating from Hama and Homs, further south from Hama. However, the reports are unconfirmed, and denied by the government of President Bashar al-Assad.

It’s not yet clear how the situation will affect the State of Israel and its recent ceasefire agreement with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon — if at all.

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has in the past held strong ties with Al Qaeda; however, in 2016, the group’s leader Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani publicly dissolved Jabhat al-Nusra to form HTS, announcing the group had broken ties with Al Qaeda.

Nevertheless, HTS is perceived to be a threat to the lives of some 20,000 Christians living in Aleppo. The group has imposed a curfew on the city until Sunday morning.

Fani Willis is the last person still prosecuting Trump — but the case isn’t likely to last much longer

As the national tide turns in President-elect Donald Trump’s favor, Fulton County DA Fani Willis is the last woman standing in his way — but she isn’t likely to last long.

Willis is prosecuting the only court case left against Trump before he returns to office in January, over alleged election interference in Georgia.

Federal cases into the returning president’s involvement in the January 6, 2021 insurrection in Washington DC and his alleged hoarding of classified documents were both dropped after he won the presidential election.

A lot has changed from one year ago when Willis, 53 — the first woman elected as Fulton County DA in 2021 — was riding high as the prosecutor set to take down Trump in a blockbuster high-profile RICO racketeering case.

Although Willis appears adamant she will stay the course, she could potentially be kicked off the case by a body who are investigating it or usurped by the state Supreme Court, who are likely to step in and close it, according to sources.

“Fani doesn’t see how she’s headed for a brick wall, she’s going full tilt with vengeance and emotions,” one local defense lawyer who knows her told The Post.

“She’s still so full of herself and hasn’t learned her lesson yet. She doesn’t realize she is her own demise and she’s the reason everything’s falling apart.”

Willis – who won re-election for a second term as DA in November – has remained defiant and ignored a subpoena in September from a special senate committee looking into the case, refusing to show up for a hearing when was supposed to testify.

Last week, a Georgia appeals court abruptly canceled oral arguments scheduled for next month in the case and Trump’s lawyers are likely cite the federal end to the election interference charges against him to get the Georgia case thrown out.

“I would be shocked if it wasn’t (dismissed) but Fani has an ego bigger than the entire state so who knows,” a source close to the Willis investigations told The Post.

Representatives for Willis and Wade did respond to requests for comment from The Post for this article.

Willis, the daughter of a Black Panther-turned-criminal defense attorney, blew up her own reputation in Jan. 2024 when it came out that she had hired her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, a criminal defense lawyer with no prior experience with felony cases, to be a special prosecutor on the Trump case. Wade, who operates out of a basement office in a local industrial park, was allegedly paid thousands more than the other qualified lawyers on the team by Willis’ office.

Anti-Sematic Amnesty International set to accuse Israel of ‘genocide’

 

Notoriously anti-Israel human rights group Amnesty International is set to issue a report accusing the Jewish state of “genocide” next month — a claim experts and Israel alike ripped as “fabricated.”

“Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against the Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip,” the group, which critics say has a long history of anti-Israel bias, said in the report due out Dec. 5.

Israel has long maintained its offensive in Gaza is solely to eliminate Hamas terrorists who killed 1,200 and kidnapped 251 Israelis during the Oct. 7 massacre, and has said it takes great care to avoid civilian casualties with pinpoint strikes.

But genocidal intent can “co-exist” with Israel’s stated military goals, claimed Amnesty, which critics say has a long history of anti-Israel bias.

Experts said Amnesty is confused as to what a genocide really is.

“If Israel’s defense against Hamas constitutes genocide, then American wars from World War II to Obama’s campaign against ISIS do as well,” said George Mason Law Professor Eugene Kontorovich.

“An actual genocide looks completely different: In the early 2000s the Sudanese government armed Arab militias to ethnically cleanse all African groups in the Darfur region through a campaign of mass murder, rape and persecution based on the victims’ race,” said National Jewish Advocacy Center director Mark Geldfeder.

The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health has claimed more than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began. At least 17,000 of them were terrorists, according to the Israeli Defense Forces.

“Amnesty cannot point to a single instance in which Israel has purposely targeted a civilian,” Geldfeder said.

Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Oren Marmorstein told The Post: “The deplorable and fanatical organization Amnesty International has produced a fabricated report entirely based on lies.”

Amnesty International did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

NYC staffer paid to promote "Unity" caught ripping down Israel hostage poster

 

An Adams administration staffer whose mission includes fostering “unity” and bridging “cultural divides,” is under fire for ripping down an Israeli hostage poster — and then allegedly assaulting an outraged eyewitness, The Post has learned.

Nallah Sutherland, a special event coordinator for the Mayor’s Office of Special Projects and Community Events, was spotted earlier this month tearing down the poster from an Upper East Side light pole, ripping it up and dumping it in a trash bin, according to video posted online by the nonprofit StopAntisemetism.

“It’s an appalling act of antisemitism,” said the nonprofit’s founder Liora Rez, who demanded Adams immediately fire Sutherland.

But Sutherland, 25, only got a slap on the wrist by her bosses — who merely required her to take “multicultural training” and added a disciplinary note to her permanent work file, a City Hall source told The Post.

“Is there a reason you’re taking those down?” asks an eyewitness about the poster, part of a public art campaign to raise awareness of Israeli and American hostages taken captive by Hamas during its Oct. 7, 2023 terror attack on the Jewish state.

“Those were hostages. They were taken by terrorists,” adds the eyewitness, according to the 20-second clip he recorded.

Sutherland then walks toward the man and swipes his phone with her right hand, briefly knocking it out of focus, the video shows.

“That’s assault actually. You know that, right?” the man responds to Sutherland, who smirks and walks away, the video shows.

Sutherland began working for Adams – a staunch Israel supporter – in 2023. She earns $61,135-a-year helping plan celebrations he hosts at Gracie Mansion and at other sites to honor the diverse city’s many ethnic groups, records show.

She’s part of a team whose job is to “bridge cultural divides … and support key city initiatives that help provide a source of strength, unity, and resilience to New Yorkers across all communities within the five boroughs and beyond,” according to her office’s website.

In May, the office organized a Jewish heritage celebration hosted by Adams at Gracie Mansion. The guest speakers included Shoshan Haran, who along with her daughter and two grandchildren, were taken hostage by Hamas and released 50 days later.

“It’s extremely hypocritical that someone who supports the murder of anyone still has a job, much less in a department that plays a vital role in our city’s diversity efforts — despite the fact that she cannot tolerate innocent Jews who were kidnapped by Hamas,” said Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (R-Brooklyn) after being told about Sutherland’s action.

“Decisive action must be taken to purge this disgusting pro-jihadist sentiment from” city government “once and for all,” added Vernikov, who is Jewish.

The eyewitness, who is Jewish and didn’t report the incident to authorities, wants to remain anonymous out of fear of retribution considering antisemitism cases are soaring statewide.

“It’s a sad state of affairs when the victim doesn’t have trust in the NYPD or” soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “to properly investigate” hate crimes,” said Rez. “There’s no trust in the authorities to keep the victim safe.”

Israeli hiker, 12, finds 3,500-year-old Egyptian amulet

 

A young girl discovered a 3,500-year-old Egyptian amulet during a family trip near an archaeological site in Hod Hasharon, a city northeast of Tel Aviv. Dafna Filshteiner, 12, was hiking below the ancient site of Tel Qana when she discovered a beetle-like stone.

“I was looking down at the ground to find porcupine needles and smooth pebbles,” she said, when she found the curious-looking stone. She showed to her mother, who said it was nothing.

“But then I saw a decoration and stubbornly insisted it was more than that, so we searched on the internet. There, we identified more photos of stones similar to what we had found. We realized that it was something special and immediately called the Antiquities Authority,” Filshteiner said.

Dafna and her family were awarded a certificate of excellence for good citizenship.

The find, examined by Yitzhak Paz, a Bronze Age expert at the Israel Antiquities Authority, dates from the New Kingdom period in Egypt, between the 16th and 11th centuries BCE.

Two scorpions appear on it, standing head to tail.

“The scorpion symbol represented the Egyptian goddess Serket, who was considered responsible, among other things, for protecting pregnant mothers,” Paz said.

Another decoration on the amulet is the nefer symbol, which in Egyptian means “good” or “chosen.” There is also another symbol that looks like a royal staff, Paz noted.

The scarab is an amulet designed in the shape of a dung beetle. This beetle, considered sacred by ancient Egyptians, was a symbol of new life because it would create a dung ball and lay its eggs in it from which new life hatched.

The Egyptian name derives from the verb “to form,” or “to be created,” as the Egyptians saw the scarab as symbolizing the embodiment of the divine creator.

“The scarab is indeed a distinct Egyptian characteristic, but their wide distribution also reached far beyond Egypt’s borders. It may have been dropped by an important and authoritative figure passing through the area, or it may have been deliberately buried,” said Paz.

The scarab amulets found in Israel—sometimes used as a seal—are evidence of Egyptian rule and cultural influence in the region more than 3,000 years ago.

Tel Qana, which stands near the spot where the scarab was found, is an archaeological site of historic importance.

“This find is both exciting and significant. The scarab and its unique pictorial features, along with other finds discovered at Tel Qana with similar motifs, provide new insights into the nature of the Egyptian influence in the region in general, and the Yarkon area in particular,” said Amit Dagan, from Bar-Ilan University’s Martin (Szusz) Department of Land of Israel Studies and Archaeology, and Ayelet Dayan from the Israel Antiquities Authority, who are excavating at the site.

The discovery will be presented to the public in Jerusalem, at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel.

Biden's Final Stab in the Back of Jews! Biden spotted with book that accuses Israel of settler-colonialism, apartheid

 US President Joe Biden was spotted leaving a bookstore in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Friday with a copy of The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017, by Palestinian-American historian Rashid Khalidi.

The purchase occurred during a holiday visit with his family as the nation kicked off the Black Friday shopping season following Thanksgiving. Photos of the outing have circulated all over X/Twitter and international media outlets.

It is unclear if Biden purchased the book or if it was handed to him. Multiple media outlets, including Fox News and The New York Post, have reached out to the White House for comment, but so far, there has been no response.

The New York Post also reached out to Khalidi to ask about his reaction to the president holding his book. “I do not speak to the Post (or the Times, for that matter), so this is not for publication, but my reaction is that this is four years too late,” Khalidi told The New York Post, which clarified that it did not offer or agree to any terms conditioning that response as off the record.

Khalidi’s book, first published in 2020, presents a controversial perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The historian, known for his outspoken critiques of Israeli policies, describes Palestine’s modern history as "a colonial war waged against the indigenous population by various parties to force them to relinquish their homeland." Khalidi’s framing has drawn both praise and criticism for its sharp departure from traditional narratives.

The book highlights key moments such as the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the 1948 establishment of Israel—referred to as “the destruction of Palestine”—Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and the “endless, futile peace process.” 

Khalidi has previously criticized former US President Donald Trump’s policies, such as relocating the US Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, calling them discriminatory toward Palestinians. “Conflicts between settlers and indigenous peoples have ended in only three ways,” Khalidi writes, likening Israel’s policies to historical settler-colonial conflicts in North America, Algeria, and South Africa.

The "historian" also discusses moments of Palestinian resistance and terrorism. He praises the First Intifada as “an extraordinary example of popular resistance against oppression.” Still, he labels the Second Intifada “a major failure” that contributed to the construction of Israel’s separation barrier. Khalidi predicts that “popular resistance will continue to rise,” framing the Palestinian struggle as an enduring battle against colonialism.

Menachem Markowitz the Get Refuser Flees Monroe and Goes to Monsey the Sanctuary City of Neturei Karta

 

View this post on Instagram

 Monsey is a sanctuary city for everyone and anybody, no one really cares! The Neturei Karta live there in peace and quiet, and their children go to any yeshiva they wish. They shop in any store they feel like and they daven anywhere they want and no one says boo! 

So is it any wonder that a character like Menachem Markowitz who refuses to give a get to his wife after 12 years of separation finds his new home with his live-in girlfriend in Monsey? Monsey is the quintessential home for get refusers and savages like NK!

 In a dramatic development that has shaken the charedi Jewish communities in the United States and abroad, a man who allegedly married a second wife while refusing to grant his first wife a religious divorce (get) has fled the town of Monroe for Monsey, just ahead of being formally expelled from the community, according to a JFeed report.

The Satmar Rebbe made a second appearance at the community’s main study hall last night to address the situation. This follows his unprecedented 24-hour ultimatum to the man to resolve his marital status according to Jewish law.

In recent weeks, the Rebbe heard that the man had begun to pray regularly in the kollel headed by the Rebbe’s son-in-law, Shimon Zeev Meisels. the Rebbe called his son-in-law in recent days and ordered him to remove the husband from the study hall. The son-in-law tried to soften the Rebbe, who allowed him to try to convince the husband to grant a divorce through persuasion and dialogue.

After several conversations between the head of the kollel and the recalcitrant husband, he agreed to grant a divorce, but ultimately retracted due to stubborn reluctance. This led the Rebbe to stand in the central Beit Midrash in Kiryat Joel and for the first time publicly addressing the painful affair.

“Here in Kiryat Joel lives a man who married his second wife before he divorced his first wife, and his claim is that he has the permission of a hundred rabbis. I have learned that some of the rabbis have already retracted their signature after learning that the entire permit is based on false lies, some have retracted in writing and some orally even before he married his second wife,” the Rebbe said.
