I voted for Melinda Katz to be the next Queens District Attorney. Prior to the endorsement of self-described “queer Latina” Tiffany Caban by The New York Times, the term-limited Queens Borough President was not my first, nor second choice in the seven-person contest for the borough’s top prosecutor. But as the leftist picked up in momentum, there was no longer any other viable choice when it came to representing my community.
Last week, Andrew Cuomo, New York Governor for the entirety of the 2010s, stated that he will be seeking a fourth term as Governor of New York in 2022. In the 2018 election cycle, New York has essentially become a one-party state, and the radical left agenda that has been plaguing this state will continue under Cuomo’s leadership. Here are ten reasons for New Yorkers to mobilize in the next election cycle to finally kick Cuomo out of office.
Usually by the time we hear about an anti-Israel professor at some university, it’s too late; he already has tenure, or he’s chairman of his department, or he’s so deeply entrenched in other ways that there’s simply no way to prevent him from turning young minds against Israel for decade after decade.
Today, Sunday, as I write this, is the 28th day of Iyar. It is a rich historical day for many reasons. Firstly, it is the day on which Yehoshua led Israel into our first battle against Amaleik. Further, in Tanach, the 28th day of Iyar marks the day on which the Prophet Samuel, Shmuel HaNavi, departed our world. In more recent history, the 28th day of Iyar is remembered for the day on which HaRav Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook, the first Chief Rabbi of Eretz Yisrael, made aliyah to then-Palestine, under British rule, and unified Jerusalem under Hebrew sovereignty, despite the very challenging situation on the ground.
After years of allegations of anti-Semitism, the UK Labour Party has become the subject of a formal investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, a UK watchdog group. While the BBC claims that the party has been plagued by these allegations since mid-2016, the roots of the issue are deeper than that. An analysis of the infestation of anti-Semitism in Labour shows dangerous comparisons to the anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. If the Democrats ignore it, as they have been doing so far, they too will be tarred with this reputation for a generation.
Who said this horrible thing?
The Democratic representative from Michigan, Rashida Tlaib.
This is what she said:
