Gov .
Cuomo : ‘ We will hold that rabbi accountable ’ for defying state with 7,000 wedding guests “ @ @ @ @ @ was a blatant disregard of the law , ” New York ’ s Gov .
@ @ @ @ @ briefing on Monday .
“ It ’ s illegal .

Satmar Grand Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum had invited about 7,000 guests @ @ @ @ @ grandson , Yoel Teitelbaum .
“ If it turns out that because we stopped that @ @ @ @ @ ‘ Well we ’ ll have a secret wedding , ’ that would be really @ @ @ @ @ ” Cuomo said .
“ It ’ s illegal and the city should do a @ @ @ @ @ to my podcast :

In an unexpected turn of events, the city of Goodhue in southeastern Minnesota finds itself without a police force as the chief and other department members tendered their resignations.
Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck conveyed the city’s determination to move forward despite the setback, assuring the public of continued police coverage.
Mayor Buck emphasized, “I want to reiterate that we will have police coverage in the city of Goodhue. That is not an issue.” Police Chief Josh Smith, who will remain in his position until August 24th, attributed the force’s dissolution to the inability to recruit new officers, according to reports from Fox News.
“This has been three weeks now, we have zero applicants, and I have zero prospects,” Smith disclosed on July 26. “I’ve called every PD around for the youngest guys out there, getting into the game. There’s nobody getting into the game.”
Chris Schmit, a Goodhue City Council member, praised the police force for their commitment to upholding law and order in the city, underscoring their invaluable contribution to the community’s safety. “I can probably speak for everyone when I say that they provided excellent safety and security to our community. And the small-town policing that they did, we want that back.”
Smith bared a stark truth to the Goodhue City Council, unraveling the crux of the department’s recruitment turmoil. The resounding echo of low wages and the unrelenting surge of rivalry from neighboring larger communities reverberated through his words. With an urgency born of necessity, he underscored the imperative for swift and substantial transformation to reorient this daunting trajectory.
In a state that has witnessed significant policing developments, including the George Floyd case, Minneapolis serves as a prominent backdrop. The latest ex-Minneapolis police officer convicted in Floyd’s death received a sentence of four years and nine months on August 7. Prior to his sentencing, Tou Thao, the former officer, shared a personal reflection on his faith journey while incarcerated.
Despite repeated attempts, the Goodhue Police Department, the mayor, and city council members remained unavailable for comments.
This unexpected loss of an entire police force underscores the challenges many smaller communities face in maintaining law enforcement personnel amidst increasing demands and competition from larger urban centers.

On Monday, President-elect Joe Biden announced a slate of national security and foreign policy officials, including former Secretary of State John Kerry for the newly created role of “special presidential envoy for climate.” This new position will be part of the National Security Council, Biden’s transition team says, and it will not require Senate confirmation.
Kerry served as the nation’s chief diplomat during part of President Barack Obama’s second term in the White House after having been a decades-long U.S. senator from Massachusetts and the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in 2004. Under Kerry’s tenure as secretary of state, the United States joined the 2015 Paris Climate Accord. The U.S. has since withdrawn from the accord under President Donald Trump’s administration.
The creation of this new post is a sign that Biden plans to make climate change a significant focus of his administration.

Rep. Tlaib faces renewed backlash for antisemitism before she’s to host a panel on combatting antisemitism

Rep. Tlaib faces renewed backlash for antisemitism before she ’ s to host a panel on combatting antisemitism This story was first published on TheDarkWire.com .
To read the story click here .
U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is back in the news cycle first because she ’ s been tapped to speak on an upcoming panel seeking to combat antisemitism and second because of a comment she made over the weekend about Joe Biden ’ s expected pick for Secretary of State .
The upcoming event is hosted by Leftist groups including Jewish Voice for Peace ( JVP ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manufacture division and fear , ” as The Jerusalem Post ’ s Seth J. Frantzman pointed out in a recent article .
The event quickly drew backlash with many Twitter users considering the event as satire .
Activist and writer Hen Mazzig said he “ fixed ” the advertisement of the event showing Tlaib and other panelists , hanging the title to “ ENABLING ANTISEMITISM , JEWS DON ’ T DESERVE JUSTICE : A PANEL DISCUSSION.

“ So long as he doesn ’ t suppress my First Amendment right to speak out against Netanyahu ’ s racist and inhumane policies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Palestinian people deserve equality and justice.
” Jewish Journal reporter Aaron Bandler wrote of Tlaib ’ s tweet , “ She doesn ’ t like the fact that he ’ s Jewish , ” adding “ Also the fact that her first concern about a new SOS is being able to demonize Israel should tell you all you need to know about her.

UPDATE:
In a significant turn of events, Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprising announcement on Friday, elevating Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the role of special counsel. This decision marks a shift in focus towards the investigation of the Biden family’s financial matters. The probe, which encompasses Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and any potential connections his father, President Joe Biden, might have with his foreign associates, is slated to extend into the 2024 election cycle. Interestingly, this move comes as former President Donald Trump is simultaneously facing two federal indictments from the same department.
Garland stressed that the decision to appoint Weiss as an independent prosecutor aligns with the “public interest” and adheres to departmental regulations. Importantly, this transition was initiated by Weiss himself, who, earlier this week, conveyed his belief that the investigation had reached a point where he should proceed as a special counsel.
Weiss is no stranger to this intricate landscape. He is the federal prosecutor responsible for bringing charges against President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in Delaware. Recent times have witnessed the unfolding of legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden, including a probation-oriented plea arrangement that was ultimately rejected by a judge. In June, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting guilt in two tax-related offenses and a firearm charge, potentially leading to the dismissal of the latter charge. This latest development underscores the intensification of scrutiny into the financial affairs of the Biden family and highlights the evolving legal landscape involving prominent political figures.
—
Attorney General Merrick Garland will speak to the public Friday afternoon. It is highly anticipated because I believe, as do many others, that he may be getting ready to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate “Hunter Biden” and his financial dealings overseas. Although, welcome there are still too many concerns with the DOJ that need to be addressed and there is little faith among many Americans that anything will be done.
Americans have witnessed the makings and the result of a two tiered justice system since President Trump was elected and then the continuing targeting of Trump even after his term as president.
I’ve spoken about the need for an outside investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden at length on my podcast, The Sara Carter Show and on Fox News. But I’ve been jaded by the failures of past investigations and the weaponization of the Justice Department to do its job. The failure of the DOJ to be blind and just has been devastating to our nation.
Will Garland appoint a special counsel? I don’t know but as Americans we must demand that our leadership, our bureaucracies and our law makers follow the rule of law without prejudice. If they do not, as we have seen over the past decade with the establishments attacks on President Donald Trump and the weaponization of the system to target him, then our foundation will not only be fractured but it will be irreparable.
Either way, the alleged crimes and obvious financial connections linked to the Biden family with adversarial nations like China and Russia must be thoroughly investigated and the investigation must be made public. The Biden connections and large sums of money taken from government connected energy companies in Ukraine must also be thoroughly vetted and any improprieties must be made public.

The Biden administration continues to pressure Israel against its own national interests. Israel’s democratically elected coalition government is not good enough for President Biden, who recently called it “one of the most extremist…cabinets that I’ve seen.” Despite Israel’s coalition pursuing judicial reform that strengthens democracy in the country, US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides stated that the US wants to prevent Israel from “going off the rails” on such reform. Clearly siding with the protesters, the White House also told Israel to “protect and respect the right of peaceful assembly.”
Additionally, the Biden administration is undermining Israel’s national interests by supporting a “two-state solution,” opposing “settlements,” hating on prospects of a Saudi-Israel peace, and joining UNESCO.
“Two-State Solution” / “Settlements”
The Biden administration continues to peddle the so-called “two-state solution.” In a recent interview with CNN, President Biden remarked that “I am one of those who believes that Israel’s ultimate security rests in a two-state solution.” This is despite the reality of the multiple wars that the Palestinians have initiated against Israel after the Oslo Accords and the so-called “peace process.”
Additionally, in that interview, Biden said that certain members of Israel’s cabinet [he did not mention any by name] are “…part of the problem…particularly individuals in the cabinet who would say…we [i.e., the “settlers”] could settle anywhere we want, they [i.e., the Palestinians] have no right to be here, et cetera.” This is despite the fact that Israel has an inalienable right to build in Judea and Samaria both historically and according to international law.
And the Biden administration has forced Israel’s hand on the “settlements” recently, as it was integral in getting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to postpone hearings on constructing in the E-1 corridor in both March and June of this year. E-1 falls within Area C of to the Oslo Accords, and coincidentally is also within Judea, the ancient homeland of the Jewish people. E-1 also serves to join Jerusalem with Ma’aleh Adumim, and to also provide a buffer between Jerusalem and Palestinian-administered Bethlehem.
Saudi/Israel Normalization
The Biden administration is undercutting prospects for a Saudi-Israeli normalization pact through its negative public statements on the issue. President Biden recently said: “We’re a long way from [reaching a normalization deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel].”Biden also said that “…whether or not we would provide a means by which they could have civilian nuclear power and/or be a guarantor of their security, that is — I think that is a little way off.” This remark is jarring, given the Biden administration’s willingness to allow Iran to have [at least] civilian nuclear power, as shown in the administration’s shuttle diplomacy with Iran in Oman. These statements follow earlier remarks by Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict undermines prospects of an Israeli-Saudi deal. Statements like these push Saudi Arabia and Israel further away from reaching peace with each other.
US Joins UNESCO
Days ago, the US formally re-joined UNESCO, following multiple statements of the Biden administration announcing its desire to do so. Both the US and Israel, under President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, announced their intent to withdraw from the organization in October 2017, following through in January 2019. UNESCO has long had a pro-Palestinian bias. In 2010, UNESCO called the Tomb of Patriarchs in Hebron and Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem, recognized as Jewish Heritage sites by Muslims for centuries, as “Palestinian Heritage Sites” in “the occupied Palestinian territory.” UNESCO then made similar declarations in 2017 and 2018. Included in these statements was UNESCO referring to Rachel’s Tomb as a “mosque,” adopting Palestinian propaganda that had begun referring to the tomb as such only beginning in 1996. UNESCO also called the Golan Heights “Occupied Syrian Golan” in a separate statement in 2018.
The Biden administration continues to undermine its greatest ally in the region by supporting a “two-state solution,” opposing “settlements,” undermining Saudi-Israel peace negotiations, and joining UNESCO. For it to contribute to durable peace in the region, the Biden administration must support the Abraham Accords, withdraw from negotiations with Iran, and cease bullying Israel on issues critical to its national security.

Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a surprise trip to Israel, where he visited the controversial settlements in the Israeli areas of the West Bank and Golan Heights, in an unprecedented move for a sitting U.S. secretary of state.

saraacater--2020-11-25--Dark Wire: MS-13 Members Face Federal Charges For Houston Machete Murder

This story was first published on TheDarkWire.com .
To read the full report , click here .
Five members of @ @ @ @ @ charged with murder in connection with the 2018 machete slaying of a rival gang member @ @ @ @ @ , the U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday .

A suspected al Qaeda terrorist – wanted by U.S. federal law enforcement and intelligence officials – was captured on the streets of San Jose, Costa Rica Wednesday by one of the nation’s anti-terrorism units, according to sources and news reports from the region.
In June, SaraACarter.com first reported that DHS officials had issued a Be On the Lookout alert (BOLO), for “Mohamed Shaker MOHAMED ABDELAAL.” Shaker, who is associated with the Al-Nusrah terrorist group, was attempting to enter the United States through the Southern border with Mexico, according to information obtained by intelligence officials and foreign intelligence agencies.
Costa Rican authorities announced this week that they intercepted Shaker on Wednesday, “as he walked the streets of the capital,” according to the report.
“Shaker had been under surveillance by the Anti-Terrorism Unit of the Intelligence and Security Directorate (DIS) after Costa Rica received an international alert about him. DIS coordinated with the Professional Migration Police and San José Municipal Police to apprehend Shaker downtown,” according to a news report from Costa Rica.
A former U.S. intelligence official, with knowledge of al Qaeda and other terrorist affiliated groups, told SaraACarter.com that the southern border has become a “magnet for entrance into the U.S. by terrorists, as well as other criminals but he is just one example of serious the porous southern border really is when terrorists direct plans are to fly into a Central American country and move across by foot.”
“How many more have already crossed illegally is unknown,” the former U.S. intelligence official added.
U.S. authorities became aware several months ago that Shaker, who is a suspected terrorist and on a “no fly list” had made his way through Panama. The information obtained by U.S. authorities also suggested that he had planned to enter through the southwest border, according to a documents obtained by saraacarter.com.
The BOLO national security threat/no fly alert said “Mohamed Shaker MOHAMED ABDELAAL”, poses a “imminent threat to national security.” According to the alert Mohamed Shaker is from Egypt and was identified by sources in Panama, according to officials and the BOLO alert.
Several months ago, a DHS source, with knowledge of the incident, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “The border has gotten so bad that we just don’t know what is getting in. We have had terrorist facilitators, guerrillas, hard corp gang members and who knows what coming in.”
“They must feel pretty comfortable with the state of the border if they are risking coming in. The numbers of military age “asylum seekers” coming in is enough to overwhelm law enforcement resources. We are in for a rough future if this doesn’t stop,” he added. The dhs source who spoke on background stated that the BOLO alert has been issued to local and state authorities.
According to CBP.gov, there was total of 380 terrorists who attempted to cross illegally into the United States at both the southern and northern border in 2022. This year the U.S. has already encountered 295 known terrorists entering the country illegally and there is still 6 months left in the year. This puts the United States at great risk of a National Security threat.

In a recent development, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, along with two associates, find themselves at the center of a high-profile case involving human trafficking allegations.
The charges leveled against them indicate the formation of an organized criminal group in 2021 with the intent to carry out human trafficking operations not only in Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The investigation, which led to their arrest in December last year, has culminated in an indictment filed with the Bucharest court. According to the indictment, the Tate brothers are accused of luring their victims with false promises of love and marriage. Seven individuals have been identified as alleged victims, who were later coerced and subjected to a harrowing ordeal.
Prosecutors contend that the victims were taken to locations in Ilfov county, Romania, where they faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and control. The defendants allegedly forced the victims into debt and coerced them into participating in pornographic activities, with the explicit material subsequently shared on social media platforms. Shockingly, one of the defendants is accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, further amplifying the gravity of the charges.
While the trial is not expected to commence immediately, as a Romanian judge is granted 60 days to inspect the case files, it is anticipated to be a protracted legal battle. The complexity of the case and the severity of the charges will undoubtedly result in a lengthy trial process, with several years potentially passing before a verdict is reached.
Representatives for the Tate brothers released a statement acknowledging the unsurprising nature of the news but maintaining their belief in their innocence.
As reported by the BBC, the Tate brothers media team stared, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They expressed their eagerness to present a comprehensive body of evidence meticulously collected over time, which they believe will substantiate their claims of innocence and restore their tarnished reputation.
However, it should be noted that additional charges, such as money laundering and trafficking of minors, are still under investigation. If evidence is uncovered to support these allegations, a separate indictment could be filed, further complicating the legal proceedings for the defendants.
Andrew Tate, who gained notoriety through his participation in the reality television show Big Brother, has a controversial past, having been removed from the show in 2016 following a video that appeared to depict him assaulting a woman.
Despite subsequent bans on social media platforms due to his contentious statements, he has managed to amass a following, particularly among young men, by promoting an ostentatious and hyper-masculine lifestyle.
As the case unfolds, public attention will undoubtedly be drawn to the trial, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to be served for the alleged victims. The complex web of charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants ensure that this trial will be closely monitored and scrutinized by the media and the public alike.

saraacater--2020-11-27--Trump Calls for an End of Section 230, saying Big Tech is a ‘National Security’ concern

Trump Calls for an End of Section 230 , saying Big Tech is a ‘ National Security ’ concern Last night , Donald Trump accused Twitter of “ conservative discrimination ” and called for an end of Section 230 , which offers a degree of immunity to the social media platforms for any content uploaded by third parties .
Section 230 has been criticized by Trump and Joe Biden , while social media and tech giants claim that it is critical to their continued existence .
Still , critics of the big tech giants point out that because Twitter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ operate as publishers , they no longer deserve immunity from content uploaded by third parties .
Trump has accused social media sites of censoring conservative voices , including his own , while Biden told The New York Times the law needed changing as the platforms have played a key role in the spreading of viral misinformation .
In October , Trump accused Twitter of censoring tweets that had to do with Hunter Biden email controversy .
“ Why isn ’ t Biden corruption trending number one on Twitter ?
Biggest world story , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is no ‘ trend ’ , only negative stories that Twitter wants to put up .
Disgraceful !
Section 230 , ” the president tweeted October 28 .
Twitter has repeatedly flagged Trump ’ s tweets by adding warning labels claiming the information in the tweets is “ misleading.
” Trump ’ s battle with censorship has been ongoing and has escalated in recent months .
Trump called for a repeal of Section 230 back in May , but is now emphasizing the importance of repealing the act .
On Twitter last night @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fake News , working together , want to SILENCE THE TRUTH .
Can ’ t let that happen .
This is what Communist countries do !

In a significant breakthrough, Australian law enforcement has arrested 19 men, charging them with a combined 138 offenses in connection with an international pedophile ring. The arrests were made as a result of a meticulous FBI investigation, which proved to be fatal for two American agents.
The Australian Federal Police Commander, Helen Schneider, highlighted the gravity of the situation, stating, “We will allege that these men were members of a technologically sophisticated online child abuse network that was operating across the country.” Thirteen children were rescued in the operation, though the specifics of the victims’ circumstances remain undisclosed.
The roots of this investigation can be traced back to a tragic incident in 2021, according to reports from Fox News. FBI special agents Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger were killed while executing a search warrant related to child pornography in Florida. The shootout with suspect David Lee Huber ended with the agents losing their lives and three others being injured. The brave agents’ untimely demise stirred deep sentiments within the FBI community.
Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker shared her personal connection with Agent Schwartzenberger. “Laura struggled with the darkness she saw, but her faith in God carried her through,” she reflected. Parker emphasized that the agents’ dedication to such crucial investigations underscores the vital role the FBI plays in tackling such heinous crimes.
Despite ongoing controversies, experts like Parker assert that investigations of this nature exemplify the crucial work the FBI should prioritize. The recent operation in Australia serves as a testament to international cooperation in dismantling criminal networks that exploit the vulnerable.
As investigations continue and charges are pursued, law enforcement agencies worldwide remain resolute in their fight against these reprehensible crimes. The legacy of the fallen agents reminds us of the dedication and sacrifice required to protect the innocent and bring justice to victims of such heinous acts.
