Congress investigating as to who really ran the Government During Biden Term!

 

House Republicans are preparing to investigate what Rep. Jackson calls a possible "shadow presidency" during Biden's term. 

The probe will target White House physician Kevin O'Connor,

For months in early 2024, conservatives  tried to sound the alarm on President Joe Biden's declining physical and mental health. It was obvious that he was unwell.

Yet, Democrats and much of the legacy news media ignored that reality and even attacked those of us who were willing to speak the truth. They claimed we were fabricating tales and spreading baseless conspiracy theories.

Now, the narrative has changed dramatically. Journalists are publishing books and news articles detailing not only Biden's poor health but also an orchestrated cover-up inside the White House. According to one of the books, even one of Biden's closest former aides now admits that the commander in chief was "out of it" last year as he attempted to run for reelection.

This is one of the biggest scandals , Now we know that Biden's inner circle deliberately misled the American people in an election year about the incumbent president's ability to serve a second term.

We also know that journalists were far too passive, at best, in reporting revelations that Americans needed to know before the election.

Politico reported last week that at least four books will be published in the next few weeks that provide new details about Biden's failing health and the conspiracy to cover it up.

One of those books, "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” by NBC News' Jonathan Allen and The Hill's Amie Parnes, includes incredible details about Biden's poor health while he was still in office.

The authors report that Democratic leaders were worried that Biden could not win another election and had “hush-hush talks” discussing his potential withdrawal from the race as early as 2023.

Biden did withdraw, but not until July 2024, after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump.

The most damning part of "Fight" is the revelation that Vice President Kamala Harris' aides were so concerned about the president's health that they "strategized around the possibility that Biden might die in office." The authors report that Jamal Simmons, the vice president's communications director, drew up a “death-pool roster” of federal judges who could swear in Harris as president if Biden died.

In “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History," author Chris Whipple details Biden's serious mental and physical decline.

“I have fresh reporting on an hour-by-hour, day-by-day basis of Biden’s final days, and obviously his decline is a major part of the story," Whipple told Politico.

After extensive reporting, Whipple, a former "60 Minutes" producer, came to the conclusion that Democrats were in deep denial about Biden's condition: “I happen to think that to call it a ‘cover-up’ is simplistic. I think it was stranger and way more troubling than that. Biden’s inner circle, his closest advisers, many of them were in a fog of delusion and denial. They believed what they wanted to believe.”

Ron Klain, a longtime aide to Biden and his former White House chief of staff, helped the president prepare for his fateful debate with Trump last year. Klain told Whipple that Biden “didn’t know what Trump had been saying and couldn’t grasp what the back and forth was.”

Klain also described how Biden “didn’t really understand what his argument was on inflation” and “had nothing to say about a second term other than finish the job.”

Biden didn't just run for reelection, quit and pass the torch to Harris. He was the sitting president, who was in serious decline and was surrounded by people who knew it but stayed silent.

A Washington Post review of "Fight" notes, "So much fresh material, so many bruised egos, so many scores to settle. ... Every one of them saw the wreck coming, of course, in the instant the train lurched out of the station, but no one would listen. Now, at long last, they can tell it all."

But Americans deserved to be told the truth at least a year ago, not months after the 2024 election. The fact that they weren't is a scandal not only for Democrats but much of the legacy media as well.

Democratic insiders knew that concerns about the president's ability to continue serving were serious. Journalists who covered the president had ample evidence to suggest those concerns were valid.

Only now, a year too late, are they finally telling us the truth.

Lakewood's Anti-Israel Event Hired a Speaker Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro an Accused Sexual Pervert

 

Schapiro

ובני קורח לא מתו

Last Thursday night, Lakewood Askanim decided to make another asifa to degrade, ridicule, and mock the State that now houses the majority of the Jewish people! This is while Jewish Children, some of whom are husbands, are still in Gaza fighting for our lives! This is while millions of Jews living in Israel ran to shelters in the midst of the night!

The poster itself had photos of Herzl, Ben-Gurion and Jabotinsky on the right, and Rav Kotler, Chazon Ish, Brisker Rav and the Chofetz Chayim on the left! 

The poster's Headline  "Let's Stop the Confusion!"

The "hate" event took place a week before Pesach at 8:00pm a time when husbands are needed at home to help with the children and a time when most frum Jews are busy cleaning and shopping for Pesach! 

But the asknaim  felt that it was more important to gather the naive dumb Lakewood sheep to listen to one of the meraglim of our generation!  

This took place in the week of  Parshas Va'Yikrah where the Vayikra Rabba (א' ט"ו) states on the very first pasuk:  ויקרא אל משה

"מכאן אמרו, כל תלמיד חכם שאין בו דעת נבלה טובה הימנו" "from this pasuk we learn that a Talmid Chacham who has no daas, a dead carcass is better than him" 

Rabbi Dovid Pavarski from Ponivitz  explains in his sefer ישמרו דעת, that "Just like the stench of a dead carcass is so strong that one cannot bear anywhere near it, so too a Talmid Chacham who has no daas one cannot be anywhere near him"

Yet this did not stop the organizers of this "meraglim" event from having Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro from addressing these morons! 

Rabbi Shapiro has been accused many times of sexual perversions against both married and single frum Jewish girls! 

He is the author of a book called "The Empty Wagon" a Nazi-like propaganda book that drips with the vilest, disgusting hate against Jews living in Israel! 

Well, he doesn't say outright "Jews living in Israel" but rather "Zionists living in Israel" 

So let me quote from the grandfather of the Chida, R' Avraham Azulai, in his sefer Chesed LeAvraham (Ma'ayan 3, Nahar 12)

"Anyone who lives in Eretz Yisrael is considered a tzaddik even though he is presumed to be wicked"

The sefer Nachala LeYisrael written by a great talmud chacham, a dayan in Ohel Hungary for more than 40 years, and who later moved to Tverya cites the Chesed LeAvrahanm I just quoted, but adds the following:

"Thus it is clear that we don't properly understand the true nature of the inhabitants of Eretz Yisrael with our physical eyesight. For man sees what his eyes behold, while Hashem sees into the heart. Therefore, we cannot judge or degrade specific individuals and certainly not the entire community, even those who do not favor in our eyes or do not act in a manner befitting our nation."

What is indeed fascinating is that in this weeks parsha, the parsha of the asifa, the Torah discusses people that do an Aveirah "beshogeg" inadvertently!

The Torah writes

אם הכהן המשיח יחטא

"If the anointed Kohen will sin"

ואם כל-עדת ישראל ישגו

"If the entire assembly of Israel will err"

The Torah discusses scenarios of people, even the anointed Kohen, that might do an aveirah! We are not sure they will sin, but just in case they do, then they have to bring sacrifices to atone for that sin.

However, when it comes to a נשיא a leader, an asken or the rabbi, the Torah states:

אשר נשיא יחטא

"When a ruler sins" 

In other words, the Torah is 100% sure that he will definitely sin! There isn't any doubt that he will succumb and do the Aveirah! 

Commentaries explain, that "askanim," leaders, and even rabbanim become arrogant once they come into a position of power. Rashi explains this anomaly in a more positive light, that "great are the Jewish people that have leaders that repent and admit when they sin!

This menuval that calls himself "Shapiro," will never repent and this is who the Torah is talking about! 

The poster itself is in fact true! The heading is false! 

There is in fact, zero confusion!

All the characters on the posters, Herzl, Ben-Gurion,Jabotinsky,Rav Kotler, Chazon Ish, Brisker Rav and the Chofetz Chayim have many things in common; all were innovators in their own way, and I'm glad that someone put them all together finally. 

I suspect that the one who designed the poster is a secret Zionist who is laughing his or her heart out! 

IDF Eliminates Terrorist Who Kidnapped and Murdered Bibas Family

 The IDF and Shin Bet have successfully eliminated Mohammed Hassan Mohammed Awad, a senior military commander in the Palestinian Mujahideen terrorist organization. He is believed to have personally overseen the abductions of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, and was most likely involved in their horrific murders.

Mohammed Awad played a central role in the brutal October 7th massacre, infiltrating the Israeli community of Nir Oz multiple times during the attack. Additionally, Awad was responsible for the abduction and burial of Gad and Judi Lynn Weinstein, as well as the kidnapping of several Thai citizens during the same assault.

As a high-ranking operative in the Palestinian Mujahideen, a lesser-known but deadly terrorist group operating in Gaza, Awad remained active in orchestrating terror activities until his elimination. His efforts included recruiting operatives in Judea, Samaria, and within Israel to plan and execute attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces. Throughout the ongoing war, Awad and his organization were directly involved in carrying out terrorist operations targeting both the State of Israel and IDF troops in the Gaza Strip.

Zera Shimshon Parshas Va'Yikra

 

He "musk" remain.... " Trump hints that DOGE found something ‘horrible’

                                           

President Trump was adamant Thursday that he wants Elon Musk to be a part of his administration for “as long as possible,” teasing that the tech mogul’s team of government cost-cutters recently uncovered something “horrible.”  

“I want Elon to stay as long as possible,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, before rattling off a list of reasons why he likes having the billionaire X owner around the White House.

“Number one:  I like him. Number two: He’s doing a great job. Number three: He is a patriot,” the president said. 

Musk, the unofficial head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, is expected to leave his post at the end of May, when his special government employee (SGE) status expires. 

Per federal regulations, SGEs can only work in government for 130 consecutive days – pegging May 30 as the Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink CEO’s last day as DOGE chief. 

“We’re in no rush, but there will be a point in time in which Elon’s going to have to leave,” Trump said, noting that Musk has “a number of companies to run.” 

The president didn’t put an exact date on when Musk would be departing the administration but said he expects it will happen “in a few months.” 

Though Trump noted that Musk is welcome to stay “as long as he likes.” 

When asked if he would consider appointing the world’s richest man to a different post, in order to keep him around longer, Trump responded, “I would. I think Elon’s great.” 

The president signaled that DOGE’s efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in government would continue after Musk’s exit, with his Cabinet secretaries “taking totally over” and DOGE staffers shifting to permanent positions inside federal agencies. 

“We have a lot of smart people,” Trump said of Musk’s team. “A lot of those people, I believe, are going to go into the agencies and then work on it from the inside.” 

As for DOGE’s latest discovery, the president suggested it was egregious but refused to provide details. 

“[DOGE] found something today that’s horrible. It’s horrible — you’ll find out very soon, Trump teased. “What they found is incredible, and we give [Musk] a lot of credit. He’s got some very smart people.” 

The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

FM of the Country that Brutally Murdered 6 Million Jews Says That Netanyahu's Visit to Hungary "Marks a Dark Day"

 German Foreign Minister Baerbock:

“Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary marks a dark day for international law.”

Hungary Welcomes Netanyahu and Announces It’s Quitting Top War Crimes Court

 

 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Hungary’s capital early Thursday to red carpet treatment despite a warrant for his arrest issued by the world’s top war crimes court.

Hungary’s government, led by its populist prime minister and Netanyahu ally, Viktor Orbán, used the occasion of the Israeli leader’s visit to announce it will begin the procedure of withdrawing from the international tribunal that issued the warrant, the International Criminal Court.

Just as Netanyahu met with Orbán for a welcome with full military honors in Budapest’s Castle District, Orbán’s chief of staff, Gergely Gulyás, wrote in a brief statement that “the government will initiate the withdrawal procedure on Thursday, in accordance with the constitutional and international legal framework.”

At the welcoming ceremony kicking off Netanyahu’s visit, only his second foreign trip since the ICC issued the warrant against him in November, he stood alongside Orbán as a military band played and an elaborate processions of soldiers on horseback and carrying swords and bayoneted rifles marched by.

The two leaders were set to hold talks later on Thursday, and Netanyahu was also to meet Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok in the Presidential Palace.

The Israeli leader will spend several days in Hungary before departing on Sunday.

The ICC, based in The Hague, Netherlands, said when issuing its warrant there was reason to believe Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, and intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas — charges that Israeli officials deny.

After the ICC issued the warrant in November, Orbán accused the world’s only permanent global tribunal for war crimes and genocide of “interfering in an ongoing conflict for political purposes,” saying the move undermined international law and escalated tensions.

His invitation to Netanyahu was in open defiance of the court’s ruling. Hungary joined the court in 2001 during Orbán’s first term as prime minister.

Currently, all countries in the 27-member European Union including Hungary are signatories, and all members are required to detain suspects facing a warrant if they set foot on their soil. But the court relies on member countries to enforce that.

Reacting to Hungary’s decision to leave the court, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar thanked Orbán for the move, writing on X: “I commend Hungary’s important decision to withdraw from the ICC.”

“The so-called ‘International Criminal Court’ lost its moral authority after trampling the fundamental principles of international law in its zest for harming Israel’s right to self-defense,” Saar wrote. “Thank you Hungary for your clear and strong moral stance alongside Israel and the principles of justice and sovereignty!”

Netanyahu in February met U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, where Trump suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be permanently resettled outside the war-torn territory and proposed the U.S. take “ownership” in redeveloping the area into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

Neither the United States or Israel are signatories to the ICC. Trump in February issued sanctions against the court for its investigations into Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza which has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, many of them children.

The ICC has criticized Hungary’s decision to defy its warrant for Netanyahu. The court’s spokesperson, Fadi El Abdallah, earlier said it’s not for parties to the ICC “to unilaterally determine the soundness of the Court’s legal decisions.” On Thursday, he said the court “recalls that Hungary remains under a duty to cooperate with the ICC.”

Viktor Orban & the Hungarian Army greeting Netanyahu in Budapest today.

The leaders of some countries in Western Europe are calling for Hungary to arrest Netanyahu on the ICC international arrest warrant but that isn’t going to happen.

Instead, Hungary is leaving the ICC

Zelle used by 150 million shuts down its app

 

One of the biggest names in digital banking has officially shut down its app, sending millions scrambling to make sure they have a way of sending money.

Zelle, which has 150 million customers in the US, will no longer allow users to make payments through their stand-alone app.

The company initially warned users that their app was shutting down its payment services on October 31, 2024, and on Tuesday, the change went into effect.

Although millions of Americans use Zelle to pay their rent, pay bills, and send money to friends and family, the company noted that only two percent of these transactions take place on the stand-alone app itself.

The vast majority of users actually access Zelle through their bank, which led the digital payment giant to decide it was time to cut their app.

Zelle launched in 2017 with the backing of 30 banks operating in the US, including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo.

As of 2025, over 2,200 different banks and credit unions in the US offer customers the ability to use Zelle through their own banking apps - accounting for 98 percent of the company's financial transactions.

With the writing on the wall for their underused app, Zelle told anyone still sending money directly through the company to immediately sign up for their bank's online services, which will continue to work with Zelle.

In October, Zelle officials said in a blog post: 'This change will not impact the vast majority of consumers who use Zelle to send or receive money.'

To their point, the process has become incredibly convenient for those sending money through Zelle using their bank's app.

The feature even allows people to easily send money by scrolling through their phone contacts.

Once you log into your bank's app - whether that's Chase, TD Bank, or any other institution - customers will see a Zelle logo somewhere on the screen, giving them the option to send money or make payments.

Once you tap it, your smartphone's contact list pops up, eliminating the need for writing down long account numbers.

If the person you want to send money to has the email or phone number sitting in your contacts registered with a bank, you're all set - Zelle and your bank know where the money is headed.

If the person receiving the funds hasn't signed up for Zelle, they'll receive an email or text letting them know they have money ready to claim after signing up.

'Users of the app will continue to be able to access it, but the app will be dedicated to consumer education about scams and fraud and provide a list of the more than 2,200 banks and credit unions that offer Zelle,' the company explained.

Since 2017, Zelle has become the go-to peer-to-peer payment system in the country, even as they compete with rivals Venmo and Cash App.

Last year, Zelle processed over $1 trillion in payments across 3.6 billion different banking transactions.

It's a 28-percent bump over Zelle's 2023 total of $806 billion processed.

In 2023, Venmo only processed approximately $270 billion and Cash App came in at around $248 billion.

The biggest advantage the digital platform has may be its focus on direct bank-to-bank transfers without holding your money in another account on the app.

With apps like Venmo, the money someone transfers to your account first lands in a Venmo wallet, where it can take a few days to process before it shows up in your actual bank account.

However, you can get that money faster if you pay a fee for an instant bank transfer.

Zelle, on the other hand, does not charge extra fees to move your money instantly.

Brooklyn boy struck by speeding wigmaker Miriam Yarimi in horrific crash loses kidney as he fights for life

 The 4-year-old Brooklyn boy who survived a horrific crash that killed his mother and sisters continues to fight for his life, as officials revealed Wednesday that he had a kidney removed.

Philip Saada remains in critical condition at Maimonides Medical Center, officials told The Post after visiting the grieving family.

“It’s heartbreaking,” city Comptroller Brad Lander said as he left the Brooklyn home after visiting with the family as they sat shiva. “He’s still in critical condition. He lost one kidney but they are hopeful about his prognosis.”

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams also stopped by to express her condolences.

“My heart breaks for this family,” Adams said. “I will continue to pray for this family.”

Philip was the only member of his family at the scene to survive the heartbreaking Saturday afternoon crash on Ocean Parkway.

His father, Sidney Saada, was home with the couple’s youngest child at the time.

His 32-year-old wife, Natasha Saada, was crossing the street after leaving a synagogue with the three children — Philip, Diana, 8, and Debra, 5 — when they were mowed down and killed by a speeding car, police said.

Miriam Yarimi, a Brooklyn wigmaker who suffered minor injuries, was charged with three counts of second-degree manslaughter, three counts of criminally negligent homicide and four counts of second-degree assault for the other four people hurt in the crash.

She is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning. 

Yarimi, 35, was driving nearly double the speed limit when her Audi allegedly struck an Uber, flipped and mowed down the family, police and sources said.

She allegedly had a suspended license, and the Audi she was driving was uninsured and had an expired registration when she allegedly blew past a red light, police and sources said.

The controversial wigmaker has a history of posting bizarre and paranoid conspiracy theories on social media, and neighbors said she has claimed she is being followed by the CIA.

Yarimi also has a troubled history with the NYPD — she successfully sued the department claiming she was repeatedly raped by a Brooklyn cop starting when she was 14 years old and settled for $2 million.

In January, she filed a notice of claim — which signals an intent to sue — alleging she was manhandled by cops in October when they showed up to her home to take her to the hospital for a psych evaluation.

She has been held at Bellevue Hospital since the Saturday afternoon accident pending her arraignment.

Also hurt in the crash were another Brooklyn mom and her three children, who were passengers in the Uber and were injured but survived, as did the 63-year-old Uber driver.

“I got knocked out,” Mahbuba Ahmedova, 35, told The Post through tears Tuesday. “When I opened my eyes, I saw two kids were killed, and I thought they were my kids.” 

“But my kids were sitting down” on the street, she said.

Ahmedova said her 12-year-old son and daughters, 6 and 4, were bruised and battered in the wreck. 

Anti-Israel lefty Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign is a preposterous bid for a radical City Hall takeover

 On paper, the mayoral candidacy of Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is preposterous.

He is a 33-year-old Muslim and a harsh critic of Israel running to lead the city that has the world’s largest Jewish population.

He accuses Israel of “committing a genocide” in Gaza and counts among his high-profile supporters and fund­raisers two notorious antisemites, Linda Sarsour and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib.

He is also an avowed socialist whose quest to lead the city that sits at the heart of American capitalism has been endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America.

A Bernie Sanders acolyte, he believes free is the right price for passengers on city buses. He also wants to freeze rents in the city’s 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.

He promises to raise the city’s minimum wage to $30 an hour and make child care free while also raising the wages of child care workers.

And to address the high cost of groceries, he would open a government-run grocery store in each of the five boroughs that, he claims, could offer lower prices than privately owned stores.

He would, of course, pay for all this government largesse by raising taxes on the “wealthy,” most of whom would be smart enough to flee before he gets the chance.

Ben-Gvir visits Har Habayis

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the Har Habayis in Jerusalem on Wednesday, just days before the start of Pesach. His appearance at the site reflects his ongoing advocacy for increasing Jewish presence and prayer rights at the location, which holds profound religious significance in Judaism.

Ben-Gvir, who temporarily stepped away from his government position earlier this year before returning, has made several visits to the Har Habayis since assuming office in late 2022. One of his most notable visits took place on Tisha B’Av in August 2024, a date of particular historical and religious significance.

According to figures released by the organization Beyadenu, more than 52,000 Jewish individuals ascended Har Habayis over the course of the Jewish year 5784 (2023–2024). This marks a 14% increase compared to the previous year, making it the highest recorded number since 1967.

The Har habayis is considered the most sacred site in Judaism. It is the location of the First and Second Temples, and associated with the Binding of Isaac, it has remained a central focus of Jewish worship and identity throughout history.

Hungary Will Announce Embassy Move to Jerusalem, Withdraw From International Court

 

Hungary is expected to announce during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official state visit on Thursday that it is withdrawing from the International Criminal Court in The Hague and that it is moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, JNS has learned.

The diplomatic moves would serve to strengthen the alliance between Hungary, Israel and the United States at a time of fractious divisions over foreign policy within the European Union.

The Israeli leader travels to Budapest late Wednesday night to meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Thursday as part of an official four-day visit.

Netanyahu’s rare wartime trip to Hungary is his first visit to Europe since the ICC issued an arrest warrant for him and Yoav Gallant, his former defense minister, last year for alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip. His wife, Sara Netanyahu, will accompany him on the visit.

Orban had invited Netanyahu to visit Budapest the day after the ICC decision last year, and said he would not enforce the arrest warrant.

The long-planned embassy decision, which had been delayed by the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which triggered the 17-month-long war in Gaza, would make Hungary the first country in the European Union to open an embassy in Israel’s capital in the wake of the landmark move promulgated by the United States in 2017 under the first Trump administration.

Hungarian officials reached in Budapest declined to comment on Wednesday ahead of the summit meeting, citing diplomatic protocol.

Hungary’s Honorary Consul in Israel said bilateral ties were stronger than ever before, and Hungary under Orbán was “by far” the strongest ally Israel has in the European Union.

“The relations between Hungary and Israel are excellent, and develop every day to an additional level,” Honorary Consul David Wiernik told JNS on Wednesday. “The recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and the move to Jerusalem, is very important to the State of Israel and is much more than a symbolic move.”

Hungary has been operating a trade office in Jerusalem since 2019.

Two years ago, Eli Cohen, Israel’s foreign minister, announced during a visit to Budapest that Hungary would open an embassy in Jerusalem, but the move never materialized. The Hamas attack took place that fall.

Hungary, which has aligned itself closely with U.S. President Donald Trump and Netanyahu on foreign policy, has emerged as one of Israel’s strongest allies in Europe, staunchly backing the Jewish state in global arenas, and when it comes to the European Union and NATO.

Six countries have their embassies in Israel’s capital: the United States, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Paraguay and Papua New Guinea.

All other nations that maintain ties with Israel have their embassies in Tel Aviv or its suburbs due to the political sensitivities of Jerusalem.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in December 2017 set the stage for other countries to follow suit, but the war against Hamas in Gaza triggered by the Oct. 7 massacre delayed such action.

‘Interfering in an ongoing conflict’

Earlier this year, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar visited Hungary and thanked Budapest for its stance against the “politicized and corrupt” ICC.

Orbán has accused the court of “interfering in an ongoing conflict for political purposes” and has called the court’s decision to issue the arrest warrant “brazen, cynical and completely unacceptable.”

Neither Israel nor the United States is party to the court, and the Trump administration has sanctioned them for their actions against Israel.

Self hating Jew Lander Curses Cuomo in Yiddish because Cuomo Called Him Out on it!

 

“City Councilman Brad Lander believes that “ending Israel’s military occupation is a moral imperative.””
– NY Post

Search images for Lander and Linda Sarsour. He supports BDS.

City Comptroller Brad Lander launched a fierce response to Andrew Cuomo’s accusations, cursing the former governor in Yiddish during a press conference on Wednesday. The exchange follows Cuomo’s controversial remarks at a synagogue on Tuesday, where he accused Lander and other mayoral opponents of being antisemitic “disciples” of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Cuomo had taken aim at Lander for allegedly divesting from Israel bonds, In his remarks, Cuomo also criticized Lander for his policy stance on Israel, accusing him of turning his back on the Jewish state.

In an impassioned rebuttal, Lander hit back at Cuomo’s comments with an expletive-laden response in Yiddish, saying, “A beyzer gzar zol er af dir kumen,” which roughly translates to “May an evil decree come upon him.”

Lander, visibly frustrated, added, “Andrew, if you want to question my commitment to my people, say it to my face.” His outburst underscored the growing tension between the two as they vie for the mayoral seat in the 2025 race.
