Brooklyn Jews Fireworks Protest At Mayor’s Home: If We Can’t Sleep, You Won’t Sleep
by Shifra on June 23, 2020Many of the residents of the Brooklyn neighborhoods where Mayor de Blasio had playgrounds shuttered, and where people finally broke the locks, are children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of survivors of Auschwitz and Dachau. And they are not afraid of a schmendrick, er, petty incompetent politician, like de Blasio. The almost-constant blast of illegal fireworks in all five boroughs of NYC are upsetting people (and pets!) Citizens revolt in #NYCagainst fireworks disrupting their sleep every night and no action by @NYCMayor .Honking car parade outside Mayor’s residence at Gracie Mansion. pic.twitter.com/kPupejH1j1 — ben eisenberger (@uhel) June 23, 2020 Via Jerusalem Post. ….Dozens of Orthodox Jews demonstrated outside Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City’s mayor, Monday night in a...

Former Netanyahu Advisor: Bolton Envied Trump, Now Throws Temper Tantrum
by Shifra on June 22, 2020Caroline Glick, an American-Israeli journalist, was the deputy managing editor of the Jerusalem Post. She was an officer in the IDF for five years, and she also served as assistant foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She has a few choice things to say about John Bolton: Via Israel Hayom. …When Bolton ran a quixotic campaign in the Republican presidential primaries in 2012, many of his supporters hoped that at a minimum his run would help to position him as the Republican Party’s national security standard-bearer. And when President Trump appointed Bolton to serve as his national security adviser in 2018, many were certain that working together, the two men would take America’s superpower stature to new heights....

ICYMI: CNN’s Stelter Lectures About Masks… in Hilarious Backfire
by Shifra on June 21, 2020Hey Brian, are we still safe wearing a mask… if we first put our grubby hands all over it, and then put it back over our nose and mouth? Asking for a friend. And Twitchy’s description of Stelter as a “frothy-mouthed yenta on helium” is probably the best thing you’ll read all weekend 🙂 Via Twitchy. …did he really think screeching like a frothy-mouthed yenta on helium about this kid would convince people to wear a mask? Spare us the eye rolls about the mask being political, Tater, because Democrats were the ones to politicize the damn things…. If my three-year-old can adapt to wearing a mask on her bike rides — and she has — adults can wear masks...

Mayor Supported Protesters, Has Home Vandalized. Now It’s ‘Domestic Terrorism’
by Shifra on June 17, 2020Why was the mayor of Olympia, Washington so upset that her house was broken into and vandalized? Why did she say it was all “so unfair” ? She should learn from ‘noted theologian’ and designer of the ‘90’s Grunge Look Marc Jacobs, who has a net worth of $100M, and said this after his upscale LA store was trashed: “NEVER let them convince you that broken glass or property is violence….Property can be replaced, human lives cannot.” So, calm down, Mayor Selby, your vandalized home is “all for the cause.” Or something…. Via Daily Wire. It’s all fun and protests until someone vandalized your home. Olympia, Washington, Mayor Cheryl Selby has been a vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter and...

Brooklyn Jews Unchain Locked Playgrounds,Tell Mayor: “Enough Is Enough!”
by Shifra on June 15, 2020“Silver lining” to the NYC COVID-19 quarantine fiasco: Entire communities are finally fed-up with Democrat rule, and will be voting GOP. Via Hamodia. ….Residents, community leaders and elected officials have held protests at playgrounds since Thursday, amid mounting frustration over what many Brooklyn residents see as a double standard – Mayor Bill de Blasio’s allowing protest gatherings to continue just blocks from where children and mothers have been expelled from playgrounds. “Our kids have been locked up at home for three months,” said Assemblyman Joe Lentol, at a standing Monday afternoon at Middleton Playground, between UJO head Rabbi Moshe Dovid Niederman and community activist Moishe Indig. “And now that summer is here, they can’t even go to a place to...

NYC Mayor: Playgrounds More Dangerous Than Mass Protests
by Shifra on June 12, 2020Yes, the mayor of NYC actually said it. Because apparently it is soooo much easier for him to target Jewish mothers and their children than to stop protesters, er, looters/arsonists. After everything NY has allowed, this is disgusting and outrageous. https://t.co/6BdPwXkHq5 — Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) June 9, 2020 Via Free Beacon. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) on Thursday said he would not reopen playgrounds to families because it is “too much of a risk” but said large protest gatherings may continue…. Hamodia journalist Reuvain Borchardt had asked de Blasio how it was fair to allow protests to continue amid the coronavirus pandemic while families are prohibited from using playgrounds. “How does it promote equality, Mr. Mayor, when...

New Pandemic-Related Disorder: ‘Zoom Fatigue’
by Shifra on June 8, 2020Looks like working from home turns out to be not so ‘perfect’ after all. Via WSJ. ….The affliction that’s come to be known as “Zoom fatigue” is way more than a byproduct of too many meetings. Social scientists say it’s the result of the sudden mass adoption of technology that’s disrupting the normal, instinctual and finely-tuned way of communicating that developed to help humans survive. “We’ve evolved to get meaning out of a flick of the eye. Our species has survived because we can produce those signals in a way that’s meaningful,” says Jeremy Bailenson, professor and director of Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab. “Zoom smothers you with cues, and they aren’t synchronous. It takes a physiological toll.” Before...

ICYMI: Biden Repeats Himself 3 Times in Less Than One Minute in Virtual Town Hall
by Shifra on June 5, 2020The look on Don Cheadle’s face says it all. But in case Joe Biden did not make himself clear enough, remember: “The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason for the protest.” But when you watch the video, don’t laugh, because you don’t want to be the “10-15% of Americans who are not very good people.” Despite the assistance of notes, Joe Biden repeats himself 3 times in less than 1 minutehttps://t.co/6S02V7yp2h pic.twitter.com/kTfYrUAdtZ — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 5, 2020 Joe Biden: “10-15% of the people out there are just not very good people”pic.twitter.com/tUdoVTtHLp — Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) June 5, 2020

Jewish Group To Eric Swalwell: Apologize for Comparing Ric Grenell to Nazi
by Shifra on June 4, 2020Looks like Eric Swalwell didn’t get the memo from Pelosi yesterday: In her little dramatic photo op, she held a Bible and lectured us that this is a time for healing. And no, Eric, there was no “gassing” of protestors before President Trump walked to the church across from the WH. Another unfortunate and disgusting Nazi reference. Someone needs to send him a copy of “Things That Offend The Jewish Community…For Dummies.” Or something. Via Free Beacon. The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) called on Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) to apologize for comparing Richard Grenell, the former U.S. ambassador to Germany, to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. After Grenell tweeted about the National Park Service’s denial of using tear gas...

Apple to Looters: We Are Tracking Your Stolen iPhones
by Shifra on June 2, 2020Good. The looters should be all arrested and jailed…unless the Biden campaign staff members don’t get to them first, by paying their bail and assisting them in avoiding prosecution. Via NY Post. Apple has an eerie message for the looters who have pillaged its stores during recent protests: We’re watching you. Thieves who made off with iPhones from ransacked Apple retail locations in recent days quickly learned that the gadgets were loaded with special security software, as they displayed a message on their screens indicating that their locations were being monitored. “Please return to Apple Walnut Street,” read the onscreen message of an iPhone stolen from an Apple store in Philadelphia, according to social media posts. “This device has been...

Hillary’s Attempted Slam of Trump’s Riot Tweet Ends in Epic Backfire

But where is @jack when you need him? Hillary’s tweet needs a big fat fact-checked label. Via Red State. ….Because she, too, often sees opportunity in tragedy to score cheap political points at the expense of actual leaders, failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton weighed in this morning with an attempted dunk on Trump over tweets he posted last night about sending in the National Guard to take control of the situation, tweets that got him in trouble with the Twitter Thought Police. Here’s what she said: The president of the...
