Chances Are, Your Next Rabbi Is Probably Gay, Study Shows

/0 Comments/in , /by

Over half of non-Ultra-Orthodox rabbinical students in the U.S. identify as LGBTQ+, according to a new study.

Approximately 51% of current non-Haredi rabbinical students projected to be ordained after 2025 claim they are LGBTQ+, the study conducted by Atra: Center for Rabbinic Innovation found. This is a sharp incline from the 7% of ordained non-Haredi rabbis who identified as such before 2004. The study claims to provide a clear portrait of the contemporary non-Haredi, or non–Ultra-Orthodox, rabbinic pipeline in the U.S.

“The student figure may be an overestimate since weighing cannot fully correct for discrepancies without a variable directly measuring LGBTQ+ identity. However, even if it is somewhat overstated, the consistent year-over-year increase in LGBTQ+ representation is almost certainly real,” the Atra wrote, noting Gallup poll data finding an increase in the general U.S. adult population.

Atra said that its study revealed “a delicate and urgent truth: the calling to be a rabbi remains strong, but the pathway to enter and sustain this work has become increasingly fragile.”

Hannah Karpel-Pomerantz met her wife at rabbinical school and grew close due to a shared interest in Jewish texts and rituals, The Times of Israel reported. She said Hebrew Union College shared their “love story” all over their website.

“HUC wanted to feature me and my wife as a love story — as something that makes the school look good,” she recalled. “It signals that American progressive Jewish life has evolved to the point where LGBTQ inclusion is a no-brainer.” (Read more from “Chances Are, Your Next Rabbi Is Probably Gay, Study Shows” HERE)

It’s High Time Liberal Judges Are Held Accountable for Failing to Lock Up Violent Career Criminals

/31 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Liberal judges who decide not to jail violent career criminals and sadistic psychopaths ought to be held liable when the felons attack innocent citizens.

Two horrendous, unprovoked attacks on helpless young women on public transit in recent weeks would never have happened if the legal system had done what it’s designed to do.

Instead, BLM-inspired reparatory justice has endangered the most vulnerable among us — women, children, the elderly and disabled. We pay police and judges to keep evil and dangerous predators away from weak and defenseless innocents. Yet radical Democrats who have taken over blue cities are hellbent on a destructive ideological crusade to defund the police, close the jails and install obedient judges who side with the perpetrator over the victim.

And yet, law-abiding citizens who dare to try to defend themselves — or gallantly protect others, as in the case of Good Samaritan Daniel Penny — are the ones arrested, prosecuted and even sent to jail. Queens senior citizen Charles Foehner has just been sentenced to four years in jail for gun offenses after shooting dead his mugger.

Two cases in the last three months illustrate the moral inversion of law and order Democrats have instituted under the cover of COVID and the anti-cop George Floyd protests of 2020.

Bethany MaGee, 26, identified as Chicago victim set on fire on CTA train by serial thug with 72 arrests

By New York Post. The 26-year-old woman who cops said was set on fire by a lunatic with a lengthy rap sheet on a Chicago L train earlier this month has been identified as Bethany MaGee.

“It is devastating that a career criminal with 72 PRIOR ARRESTS is now accused of attacking 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on Chicago’s L train, and setting her on fire,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on social media Sunday.

“This would never have happened if this thug had been behind bars. Yet Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the streets,” Duffy said of suspect Lawrence Reed, 50, who is facing federal terrorism charges in connection with the senseless fire attack.

“Chicago’s carelessness is putting the American people at risk. No one should ever have to fear for their life on the subway,” Duffy said, lambasting the Windy City’s soft-on-crime policies that let a dangerous convicted felon roam free.

Reed approached MaGee, who was sitting with her back to the crazed firebug on the train in downtown Chicago around 9 p.m. on Nov. 17, according to the criminal complaint. (Read more from “Bethany MaGee, 26, identified as Chicago victim set on fire on CTA train by serial thug with 72 arrests” HERE)

Foreign ‘Patriots’ Caught Red-Handed as Musk’s X Unveils Hidden Account Locations

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new feature on Elon Musk’s X is exposing the truth behind social media accounts across the political spectrum, with account owners apparently misleading followers about where they are posting from.

The new feature allows all X users to inspect where a given account is based, usually listing a country or region. Many popular accounts posing as American “patriots” or “constitutionalists” have been exposed as being run from foreign countries since the update rolled out on Friday.

One account with the handle “@1776General_” boasts over 140,000 followers and has a user biography describing the owner as a “constitutionalist, patriot and ethnically American.” The biography claims the account is based in the U.S., but X’s new feature reveals it is actually based in Turkey.

“I work in international business. I’m currently working in Turkey on a contract,” the owner of the account posted after the new feature was released.

Another account, “@AmericanVoice__” had over 200,000 followers before the update rolled out. The new feature exposed that it was being run from South Asia, and the owners simply deleted the account.

Report: White House to Unveil Healthcare Framework to Lower Costs

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump White House is expected to unveil a healthcare policy framework that would lower costs and extend expiring Obamacare subsidies, according to reports.

MS NOW and Politico reported that the healthcare policy framework would include a two-year extension of the expiring enhanced premium tax credits (EPTC), or enhanced Obamacare subsidies, which would otherwise expire at the end of the year. The proposal could be unveiled as early as Monday.

A White House declined to confirm the details of the alleged plan to Politico, stating, “Until President Trump makes an announcement himself, any reporting about the administration’s healthcare positions is mere speculation.”

The plan would lower limits on income eligibility for the credits and set minimum premium payments, according to the reports. The proposed eligibility cap would set the subsidies to 700 percent of the federal poverty line; Republicans have complained that, with the current Obamacare enhanced subsidy scheme, wealthy Americans would benefit from the subsidies in what was meant to be a temporary, coronavirus-era benefit.

The White House plan would also urge Congress to fund cost-sharing reduction (CSR) plans, which Republicans pushed for in the Big Beautiful Bill, but were nixed after Senate Democrats objected to its inclusion in Trump’s landmark legislation, believing it violated rules on budgetary reconciliation.

Department of War Investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for ‘Seditious’ Video Urging Military to Disobey Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of War (DOW) has launched an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) that may lead to court-martial proceedings after “serious allegations of misconduct” were made against him.

Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy captain, has been facing accusations of “sedition” from President Donald Trump after participating in a video with other Democrats last week calling on military servicemembers and intelligence officials to “refuse illegal orders” from the administration.

In a statement posted to social media Monday, the DOW announced that it is aware of the severe accusations and has initiated a “thorough review” to determine further actions, which “may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures.”

“This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality,” the department stated. “Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.” (Read more from “Department of War Investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for ‘Seditious’ Video Urging Military to Disobey Trump” HERE)

DHS Rocked by Viral Claims After X Lists Account Location in Israel

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new transparency feature on X has sparked major political controversy after users circulated screenshots claiming the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s official account was listed as being based in Israel. The feature, which quietly appeared on the platform over the weekend, allows users to view the current or past location of an account by tapping the join-date field. While the tool was intended to expose foreign-operated influence accounts posing as Americans, the rollout instead created a wave of confusion and speculation.

Almost immediately, users began posting screen captures showing the DHS location field reading “Tel Aviv, Israel.” The images and videos spread rapidly across X and other platforms, intensifying criticism amid already heightened debate over U.S. support for Israel. Some posts also highlighted a surge of MAGA-branded accounts that appeared to originate from locations in Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa—supposedly undermining their authenticity.

Initially, DHS responded informally with a meme-like image, but quickly followed with a formal statement denying the claim. The agency insisted that its account had “only ever been run and operated from the United States.”

X leadership backed that explanation. Nikita Bier, the platform’s Head of Product, called the viral screenshots “fake news,” explaining that a subset of older accounts had been assigned inaccurate creation locations due to shifting IP ranges over the years.

Soon after the uproar, the feature briefly disappeared from the platform before returning with modified behavior. DHS’s account now displays “United States” as its location. However, it remains the only major government-linked account showing location data at all, raising new questions about the feature’s rollout and consistency.

X has said that inaccuracies will continue to be corrected over time, but has not offered a clear timeline for when the feature will be fully reliable.

Trump Fires Back at ‘Lowlifes’ as GOP Faces Fallout From MTG’s Sudden Exit

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump made a passionate post claiming that the Republican Party is “so UNITED” on Sunday night, amid internal divisions in the party over leadership, tariffs, and legislative priorities.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that the GOP has “never been so UNITED AS IT iS RIGHT NOW!”

“Other than Rand Paul, Rand Paul Jr.(Massie!), Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, and a couple of other ‘lowlifes,’ and other than the fact that many want the Election threatening Filibuster TERMINATED (the Dems will do it in the first minute of their first chance!), and some don’t, there is great spirit and cohesion,” Trump’s post read.

The president also claimed that the Republican Party is “MUCH BIGGER” than it was before he launched his first presidential campaign in 2015.

“Many Millions More Members!” Trump wrote. “We now have the Strongest Border EVER, Biggest Tax Cuts, the Best Economy, Highest Stock Market in USA History, and sooo much more.” (Read more from “Trump Fires Back at ‘Lowlifes’ as GOP Faces Fallout From MTG’s Sudden Exit” HERE)

Web Of Depraved Satanic Groups Brainwashed School Shooter – Only One Culprit Has Been Unmasked

/0 Comments/in , /by

Authorities linked a foreign Satanic group to a deadly Tennessee school shooting, but another online cult leader’s whereabouts are not publicly known nearly a year after taking credit for the bloodshed.

Georgian neo-Nazi “Maniac Murder Cult” leader Michail Chkhikvishvili pleaded guilty to federal charges on Monday after his propaganda incited violent plots such as the January Antioch High School shooting in Nashville, court records show. The deceased shooter’s online ramblings also point to a similar cult, “Totenation,” that went unnoticed despite an unidentified leader for the group claiming responsibility, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of archived webpages.

That figurehead, who appears to be an internet user going by “Liber of Love,” has also promoted pedophilic themes tied to Satanist terror networks that are a top FBI target in child exploitation cases.

Solomon Henderson, 17, fired ten shots in his school’s cafeteria on Jan. 22, killing one student and injuring another before fatally shooting himself. Law enforcement, media outlets and researchers found he was immersed in dark internet trends promoting hatred of humanity, occultism, child sex abuse and terrorism — traits that the Department of Justice (DOJ) associates with “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (NVEs).

Chkhikvishvili was arrested in Moldova in July 2024 for plotting violence against Jews in New York and extradited to the U.S. in May. The DOJ then revealed that Henderson cited Chkhikvishvili and his Europe-based group as inspiration after Chkhikvishvili spread materials encouraging school shootings.

Shock Resignation: Trump Celebrates Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Exit as “Great News for the Country”

/88 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump reacted swiftly Friday night to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) surprise announcement that she will resign from Congress, calling the decision “great news” for the United States.

“I think it’s great news for the country,” Trump told ABC News in a brief phone interview. The president said that Greene had not informed him of her plans in advance but appeared unconcerned, adding, “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know? But I think it’s great. I think she should be happy.”

Greene, who represents Georgia’s 14th District, announced that her last day in office would be January 5, 2026. Her resignation caps a dramatic and very public falling-out with Trump, whom she has supported since entering Congress and throughout his political comeback.

The split between the two formerly close political allies escalated over the past several weeks. Trump recently withdrew his endorsement of Greene and signaled that he would support a primary challenger if one emerged.

In her resignation statement posted to X, Greene said she would not force her constituents, or herself, through a bitter primary fight fueled by the president she helped elect.

“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for,” she wrote.

Greene argued that such a battle would drain tens of millions of dollars and could weaken Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections, all while forcing her to defend Trump against impeachment efforts after “he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.”

“It’s all so absurd and completely unserious,” she said. “I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”

Greene emphasized her long-standing loyalty to Trump, pointing out that she left her mother’s side during her father’s brain surgery in order to vote against Trump’s second impeachment in 2021. She noted that her voting record has aligned with the president and Republicans “almost entirely,” except on several key issues including:

Opposition to H-1B visa policies she believes displace American workers

Foreign military involvement

Pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files

“Loyalty should be a two way street,” Greene wrote, arguing that Republican lawmakers should be able to vote according to conscience and the interests of their constituents without being branded disloyal to Trump.

Greene also addressed criticism she received from Trump and allies for supporting legislation to compel the Department of Justice to release remaining Epstein-related files. Trump allegedly called her a “traitor” and a “lunatic” over the effort, despite the Epstein scandal remaining a high-profile topic among many conservatives.

“Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States of America, whom I fought for,” she wrote.

Greene’s decision brings an abrupt end to a term defined by outspoken advocacy for Trump, frequent breaks with Republican leadership, and national controversy. A major figure in the MAGA movement, Greene rose to prominence by railing against the political establishment, supporting hardline policy positions, and promoting conspiracy theories on social media and in public remarks.

Bill, Hillary Clinton Threatened With Contempt of Congress as House Expands Jeffrey Epstein Probe

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has ordered Bill and Hillary Clinton to appear for depositions next month for the panel’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — or face possible contempt of Congress.

Comer initially subpoenaed the former first couple on Aug. 5 to answer questions about their relationship with Epstein — but the Clintons’ attorney in a Nov. 3 response had asked for his clients to make merely “a written proffer of what little information” they have.

“Given the admission that your clients possess some relevant information, your position amounts to a demand that the Committee forgo in-person testimony, potentially relevant to its legislative oversight,” the powerful GOP chairman said.

“Additionally, your suggestion that your clients’ testimony would not be relevant to the stated purposes of the Committee’s investigation because the events in question took place outside of the Clintons’ respective official duties misses the Committee’s point,” Comer added.

“It is precisely the fact President Clinton and Secretary Clinton each maintained relationships with Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell in their personal capacities as private citizens that is of interest to the Committee.” (Read more from “Bill, Hillary Clinton Threatened With Contempt of Congress as House Expands Jeffrey Epstein Probe” HERE)
