Prominent anti-vax doctor has license permanently revoked
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/358874
Dr. Aryeh Avni, a prominent figure in what is commonly known as the "anti-vax" movement, has had his license to practice medicine permanently revoked, after the Jerusalem District Court rejected his appeal filed after the Health Ministry stripped him of his license a year ago.
"We must distinguish between having an opinion and incitement," stated Judge Nimrod Flax in his ruling, adding that Avni had "conducted a smear campaign against health authorities in an effort to persuade people not to abide by their directives. A doctor who decides to act in such a way, delegitimizing the medical authorities, places himself outside the health system."
Con Law: How a Fake Document Could Help the Supreme Court Diminish Our Democracy

In June’s Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, the court took a hammer to the wall separating church and state, when the six conservative justices sided with a public school football coach, Joseph Kennedy, who claimed he was fired for quietly praying alone after the final whistle. “Joseph Kennedy lost his job as a high school football coach because he knelt at midfield after games,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in his majority opinion. “He offered his prayers quietly while his students were otherwise occupied.”
This is not what happened. The record in the case shows that Kennedy’s prayers were neither quiet nor private; students joined in, some because they felt pressured—which is precisely why schools prohibit such prayers. “Kennedy’s practice evolved into postgame talks in which Kennedy would hold aloft student helmets and deliver speeches with ‘overtly religious references,’” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissent, which included a picture showing Kennedy raising a helmet while players kneel around him. When asked to make his prayers private, Kennedy had refused.

Far Right Turns on Marjorie Taylor Greene

"It bothers me and should bother all of you that MTG is claiming to be pro-Trump and using Trump to boost her profile, while she and her team are secretly undermining him by using Milo as a political operative to make Trump look bad," Loomer said. "MTG is a snake and she needs to go. That's why I call her Marjorie TRAITOR Greene."

Ex-Florida official with ties to Gaetz sentenced to 11 years in sprawling public corruption case
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/01/greenberg-sentenced-gaetz-ties-00071614
Greenberg was initially charged with more than 30 criminal counts, but in May 2021 pleaded guilty to six charges — including sex trafficking and fraud — in exchange for his cooperation in multiple cases, including a sex trafficking probe into Gaetz. The two men were once friends, and Gaetz described Greenberg as his “wingman” to acquaintances.
Rabbis: Homosexual Marriage Bill: an Existential Threat
BS"D
December 6, '22
Re: the threats posed by legal recognition of same-gender "marriage"
Esteemed Leaders and All,
A vote on the homosexual marriage bill HR8404 is looming in the U.S. House of Representatives, after passage in the Senate last Tues., due to support of 12 Republicans, joining 49 out of 50 Democratic senators. In July, over 47 Republicans voted for a similar bill in the House. The more votes the bill gets, the graver the legitimacy that it will lend the the dangerous myth of homosexual marriage, and the graver the danger for "dissidents" who resist this antireligious edict ("Gezairah al HaDas").
Our Holy Sages, in the venerated Midrash Rabbah on the Book of VaYikra, 23:9 (on the verse Leviticus 18:3), identify the writing of marriage contracts for homosexual "marriages" as what triggered the Great Flood - the catastrophic deluge that destroyed the entirety of civilization, except Noach and those saved with him.
Attached are a few important items of interest. WHATEVER CAN BE DONE TO STOP THIS EXISTENTIAL THREAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP, TODAY. We hope for a delay, to continue mounting pressure nation-wide, but ought to act as if there will be none.
Congressional Switchboard: 202-224-3121
Please ask to be transferred to (or for the number of) the specific Senator or Congressman needed.
A senior Orthodox activist explained to me years ago that it's important that the elected officials understand that in addition to being an issue of deeply held principles, this type of legislation poses a very real and present danger, and does so in a very personal and tangible manner. The politicians need to understand from us that this type of legislation is killing us.
Thank you again,

Did Trump Say Election Fraud Allows for 'Termination' of US Constitution?
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-termination-us-constitution/
In sum, Trump posted on Truth Social that, what he believed to be, election fraud in the 2020 presidential election allows "for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." For that reason, we rated this claim "Correct Attribution."
Why Trump’s ‘termination’ of Constitution, demanding reinstatement or do-over, has set off alarms
Billions of words have been devoted to analyzing, criticizing, demonizing and denouncing Donald Trump.
In newspapers, magazines and books, on television and social media, unnamed advisers provide a barometer of his moods and methods, sometimes venting their own frustration about what he’s doing or refusing to do.
And yet for all the digging about what’s happening behind the scenes, it is often Trump’s own words – on display, out in the open, in the light of day – that cause him the greatest problems.
Yakov is the chosen one
Tanchuma (Kedoshim 02:01) When Adam was created, the angels said, “Master of the world, is this the one in whose name we are praising You?” He told them, “No. This person is a thief.When Noah came, they said to to G-d, “Is this the one?” He told them, “No. This person is a drunkard When Abraham came, they said to Him, “Is this the one?” He told them, “This is a stranger.” When Isaac came, they said to Him, “Is this the one?” He told them, “This one loves My enemy” When Jacob came, they said to Him, “Is this the one?” He told them, “Yes,
Mizrachi (Bereishis 33:20) And he called the name of the altar by the name of the miracle as if he called it G-d. In other words he said because the G-d of Israel is my G-d since my name is Israel. The explanation of “my G-d” is that He has saved me from all attacks and therefore it is equivalent to calling the altar “G-d is my miracle”. Bereishis Rabbah gives a different explanation that Yakov said You are G-d in the upper realm and I am G-d in the lower realm since the image of Jakob is engaved on the throne of glory.
Rabbeinu Bachya (Bereishis 33:20) “he set up an altar there and he called it G-d, G-d the L-rd of Israel.” The plain meaning of these words is that Yaakov named the altar after the G-d who had performed a miracle for him at that site. Moses did something similar as the Torah reports in Shemos 17,16 after Israel had warded off the attack by Amalek “Moses built an altar and called it: ‘G-d is My banner.’”A kabbalistic approach: the G-d of Israel called Yaakov “EL.” This is also what our sages have said in Bereshit Rabbah 79,8. The wording there is that G-d said to Israel: “I am G-d in heaven whereas you are “EL” on earth.” This would reflect what we have quoted repeatedly that Yaakov’s likeness is engraved on the throne of G-d.
Ramban (Bereishis 33:20) And by way of the Truth, [that is, the mystic lore of the Cabala, the verse is to be understood] as being in accord with the Midrash which the Rabbis have expounded in Megillah “Whence do we know that the Holy One, blessed be He, called Jacob eil? It is said, And He — the G-d of Israel — called him ‘eil.’ “ There is in this matter a great secret, which the Sages have additionally mentioned in another way: “Jacob said to G-d, ‘Thou art the G-d of those on high, and I am the master of those down below.’” The Sages thereby alluded to that which they constantly say: the likeness of Jacob is engraved in the Heavenly Throne.
Al Jazeera hands ICC purported proof IDF ‘deliberately’ killed reporter Abu Akleh
Gantz has insisted that the assertion, also made by the Palestinian Authority, that Israel deliberately targeted Abu Akleh is a “blatant lie.” Gantz also said last month that the FBI investigation is unnecessary. Lapid criticized the US decision to investigate the incident, vowing not to allow IDF soldiers to be “interrogated by the FBI or by any foreign body or foreign country, no matter how friendly.”

Gop investigations of Democrats generally fail to uncover anything
Remember Hillary's emails, the crime of the century the Russian Hoax, the Duram investigation
the Republican investigation to connect hunter Biden to corruption of Joe Biden - all ended in failure
And yet that obsession is what still energizes the GOP and their future not the issues of crime inflation or the economy.
Two years, $7 million, 800 pages later, GOP Benghazi report lands with a thud
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton loomed large in the House Republican probe of the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya in the Benghazi attack. Hauled before a GOP panel, she was grilled for eight hours. On Tuesday, an 800-page report landed and House Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-SC, denied the probe was ever about Clinton.
Why John Durham’s investigation has failed so spectacularly
For years, Team Trump insisted that the Russia scandal was pointless but John Durham’s investigation was real. Republicans had this entirely backward.
But the humiliation is not limited to the prosecutor. Every once in a while, Trump still blurts out Durham’s name, hoping the prosecutor might yet bolster some of the former president’s conspiracy theories. As regular readers may recall, the Republican has even suggested at times that Durham’s probe could serve as a possible vehicle for retaliating against his perceived enemies.illion, 800 pages later, GOP Benghazi report lands with a thud
Herschel Walker Takes Credit for Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka's 'Intelligence'

Hate speech dramatically surges on Twitter following Elon Musk takeover, new research shows
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/02/tech/twitter-hate-speech/index.html
New Twitter owner Elon Musk declared last month that “hate speech impressions” had dramatically fallen on the platform since he took over.
“A safe space for hate is a hostile environment to most decent folks,” Ahmed added, “by means of comparison, who would want to sit in a cafe or pub where crazies are screaming expletives and bigotry, let alone have the chutzpah to claim that it was democratically-essential debate?”
Specifically, the Center for Countering Digital Hate said the daily use of the n-word under Musk is triple the 2022 average and the use of slurs against gay men and trans persons are up 58% and 62%, respectively.
And the Anti-Defamation League said in a separate report that its data shows “both an increase in antisemitic content on the platform and a decrease in the moderation of antisemitic posts.”
