During last night’s Yartzeit Tish of the Satmar Rov ZT’L, the Satmar Rebbe Shlita warned that anyone not aligned and following the Kiryas Yoel values in accordance with the Shitah set forth by the Rebbe ZT’L, should not move to the area, stating that the Rebbe ZT’L will hold accountable those who help bring such families in, and reminded that anyone buying property in Kiryas Yoel should not pay more than $250 per square foot, emphasizing that “Yiddish money is not hefker”.

Pam Bondi on Making D.C. Safe Again: There has not been a homicide in a week because of the presence of law enforcement. President Trump being out there today was an incredible inspiration to all of those men and women… they were so happy to see the President.
Vice President JD Vance pitched President Donald Trump’s sweeping new law as a “working families’ tax cut” during a visit Thursday to a refrigeration facility in swing-state Georgia, a preview of the midterm message that Republicans are expected to campaign on next year. In his third trip to promote Trump’s tax cuts and spending bill, Vance cited its tax cut extensions as well as tax breaks on overtime and tips that he said “rewards you instead of punishes you for working hard.” “If you’re working hard, the government ought to leave you alone,” Vance said in his visit to Alta Refrigeration, an industrial refrigeration manufacturing facility in Peachtree City, in metro Atlanta. Less than 20 miles to the northeast, Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff was also talking about the tax law but noting provisions that cut Medicaid and food stamps by $1.2 trillion. He pointed to reports this week from Evans Memorial Hospital, a rural hospital in Claxton, Georgia, where the facility’s CEO is blaming the law for a $3.3 million hole in the hospital’s budget. Bill Lee, the president and CEO of the hospital, told reporters that it might need to cut its intensive care unit. “To be very blunt, I think it is embarrassing for the vice president to be coming to Georgia to sell a policy that is already resulting in harm,” Ossoff said in Jonesboro at the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce. The visits encapsulate how both Republicans and Democrats are seeking to capitalize on the president’s signature law before the 2026 elections, where U.S. House, Senate and governor’s seats are up for grabs. The races will give voters nationwide one of their first chances to weigh in on the second Trump presidency. In Peachtree City, Vance described the cuts to Medicaid as ensuring that people who are in the United States illegally are not receiving benefits meant for low-income people. “It’s not about kicking people off of health care,” Vance said. “It’s about kicking illegal aliens the hell out of this country, so that we can preserve health care for American families.” Vance was joined by two members of Congress, Buddy Carter and Mike Collins, and former college football coach Derek Dooley, all of whom who are running in the GOP race to challenge Ossoff next year. At the Alta Refrigeration facility, Vance stood in a warehouse in front of a large American flag and two banners that said, “Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!” As he spoke to several hundred people, the vice president also said he was proud to have gone out in the District of Columbia with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday to visit National Guard troops that Trump has deployed in the city as part of a law enforcement crackdown. “We’ve got to take America’s streets back for the American people,” Vance said. He was asked if the administration expected to deploy troops in Atlanta, too. Vance did not directly answer but said the Republican administration has focused on the situation in the nation’s capital. “We hope the people see what we’re doing in Washington, D.C., and follow our example all across the country,” he said. Last month, Vance also promoted the new law in visits to areas in Ohio and Pennsylvania that are expected to have competitive U.S. House races next year. While […]
The Trump administration said Thursday that it is reviewing more than 55 million people who have valid U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation, marking a growing crackdown on foreigners who are even permitted to be in the United States. In a written answer to a question from The Associated Press, the State Department said all U.S. visa holders, which can include tourists from many countries, are subject to “continuous vetting,” with an eye toward any indication that they could be ineligible for permission to enter or stay in the United States. Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked, and if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation. Since President Donald Trump took office, his administration has focused on deporting migrants illegally in the United States as well as holders of student and visitor exchange visas. The State Department’s new language suggests that the continual vetting process, which officials acknowledge is time-consuming, is far more widespread and could mean even those approved to be in the U.S. could abruptly see those permissions revoked. The department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility, including people staying past the authorized timeframe outlined in a visa, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity or providing support to a terrorist organization. “We review all available information as part of our vetting, including law enforcement or immigration records or any other information that comes to light after visa issuance indicating a potential ineligibility,” the department said. The administration has steadily imposed more restrictions and requirements on visa applicants, including requiring them to submit to in-person interviews. The review of all visa holders appears to be a significant expansion of what had initially been a process focused mainly on students who have been involved in what the government perceives as pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel activity. Officials say the reviews will include all visa holders’ social media accounts, law enforcement and immigration records in their home countries, along with any actionable violations of U.S. law committed while they were in the United States. “As part of the Trump Administration’s commitment to protect U.S. national security and public safety, since Inauguration Day the State Department has revoked more than twice as many visas, including nearly four times as many student visas, as during the same time period last year,” the State Department said. The vast majority of foreigners seeking to come to the U.S. require visas, especially those who want to study or work for extended periods. Among the exceptions for short-term tourist or business visits are citizens of the 40 mainly European and Asian countries belonging to the Visa Waiver Program, which grants those nationals a stay of up to three months without having to apply for a visa. But large swaths of the world — including highly populated countries like China, India, Indonesia, Russia and most of Africa — are not part of the program, meaning their citizens must apply for and receive visas to travel to the United States. Earlier this week, the department said that since Trump returned to the White House, it has revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and violations of local, state and federal law, the vast majority […]
Socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani continues to lead the New York City mayoral race, even as a majority of voters say they are turned off by his past anti-police stance, according to a new poll. The survey, conducted by American Pulse Research & Polling, shows Mamdani with 36.9% support among general election voters, compared to 24.6% for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 16.8% for Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, and 11.4% for incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. Mamdani’s advantage over Cuomo has doubled in recent weeks, as the ex-governor’s numbers have collapsed following his Democratic primary loss. The poll notes that Mamdani’s record on policing could be his greatest vulnerability. A majority of respondents — 58.4% — said his previous support for defunding the NYPD and dismantling a strategic response unit made them less likely to back him. Nearly half of voters, 45%, described his policies as “too extreme.” When asked directly, more voters said they would choose “anyone else” over Mamdani by a margin of six points once informed of his anti-police statements. Mamdani has since walked back those positions, claiming he does not currently support cutting NYPD funding. Still, Mamdani’s opponents face their own uphill battles. Cuomo remains damaged by his record on bail reform, with 53% of voters saying they are less likely to support him because of the cashless bail law he approved as governor. Adams fares even worse: 68.7% said they are less likely to support him following the collapse of federal corruption charges. Both men hold high negative ratings — 55% for Cuomo and 65% for Adams. By contrast, Mamdani is the only candidate with a net positive rating, with 47.8% viewing him favorably against 43.6% unfavorably. Sliwa, though less unpopular than Adams and Cuomo, remains in third place with just 16.8% support. The poll suggests that Mamdani could be vulnerable if the race consolidates. Without Adams, Mamdani leads Cuomo 38.5% to 30.3%, with Sliwa at 23%. Without Sliwa, Mamdani edges Cuomo 38.3% to 32.3%, with Adams at 20.4%. Mamdani holds 48% of Democratic voters, while Sliwa commands 53% of Republicans. Both stand to gain if they can unify their bases. Another poll released Tuesday by Gotham Polling & Analytics/AARP also showed Mamdani in the lead, but indicated growing unease among voters over his record. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Donald Trump and senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, says it is “high time” for the United States to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. Speaking at the Hudson Institute, Gorka echoed recent remarks by Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio, who called the Brotherhood “the progenitor” and “grandfather of all modern global jihadism.” “There are pushes in both houses of Congress to declare the Brotherhood a foreign terror group,” Gorka said, noting that several Arab nations, including Jordan, have already taken that step. “We have to recognize that if Arab Muslim nations like Jordan have designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror organization, it may be high time for us to do so as well.” Gorka went on to outline the administration’s broader Middle East strategy, saying that Trump views the region through a single lens: Iran. “When the president looks at the region, he doesn’t slice it down into cylinders of excellence,” Gorka explained. “He doesn’t care if you’re the Syrian desk officer or the natural resources expert. He has one overlay for the whole area of responsibility, and that one metric, that one prism, is Iran.” The White House adviser also praised Israel’s operations in Syria, asserting they have “rewritten the map for the next 50 to 100 years.” He argued that with the fall of the Assad regime, “the murderous mullahs of Iran do not have safe harbor and a resupply route through Syria.” Israel’s actions, he said, amount to “one of the greatest things Israel has achieved for the modern world in the last decade or more.” Gorka added that Trump has extended “the offer of a lifetime” to Syria’s new leadership, while expressing hope that Israel and Turkey could resolve their tensions by “finding the bare minimum overlap in the Venn diagram.” On Israel’s northern border, Gorka described Hezbollah as gravely weakened, saying the Iranian-backed terror group is “not at death’s door” but “in the ICU.” He also dismissed the idea that anti-Israel sentiment is rising within the Republican Party, calling it the work of “half a dozen very loud people on Twitter and Rumble.” By contrast, he insisted, the 80 million Americans who re-elected Trump “actually have a very special place in their heart for Israel.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
The Trump administration can slash hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of research funding in its push to cut federal diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the Supreme Court decided Thursday. The high court majority lifted a judge’s order blocking $783 million worth of cuts made by the National Institutes of Health to align with Republican President Donald Trump’s priorities. The high court did keep Trump administration guidance on future funding blocked, however. The court split 5-4 on the decision. Chief Justice John Roberts was along those who would have kept the cuts blocked, along with the court’s three liberals. The order marks the latest Supreme Court win for Trump and allows the administration to forge ahead with canceling hundreds of grants while the lawsuit continues to unfold. The plaintiffs, including states and public-health advocacy groups, have argued that the cuts will inflict “incalculable losses in public health and human life.” The Justice Department, meanwhile, has said funding decisions should not be “subject to judicial second-guessing” and efforts to promote policies referred to as DEI can “conceal insidious racial discrimination.” The lawsuit addresses only part of the estimated $12 billion of NIH research projects that have been cut, but in its emergency appeal, the Trump administration also took aim at nearly two dozen other times judges have stood in the way of its funding cuts. Solicitor General D. John Sauer said judges shouldn’t be considering those cases under an earlier Supreme Court decision that cleared the way for teacher-training program cuts. He says they should go to federal claims court instead. But the plaintiffs, 16 Democratic state attorneys general and public-health advocacy groups, argued that research grants are fundamentally different from the teacher-training contracts and couldn’t be sent to claims court. Halting studies midway can also ruin the data already collected and ultimately harm the country’s potential for scientific breakthroughs by disrupting scientists’ work in the middle of their careers, they argued. U.S. District Judge William Young judge in Massachusetts agreed, finding the abrupt cancellations were arbitrary and discriminatory. “I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” Young, an appointee of Republican President Ronald Reagan, said at a hearing in June. He later added: “Have we no shame.” An appeals court left Young’s ruling in place. (AP)
The United States Postal Service (USPS) announced it will issue a new stamp honoring Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, continuing its tradition of recognizing distinguished Americans. Wiesel, who passed away in 2016 at age 87, is the 18th figure to be featured in the USPS Distinguished Americans series. The stamp is scheduled for release on September 17. “The 18th stamp in the Distinguished Americans series honors humanitarian Elie Wiesel (1928–2016), a survivor of Nazi concentration camps whose dozens of works bore witness to the Holocaust and whose resilience and compassion continue to be a source of inspiration,” the USPS said in its announcement. As a teenager, Wiesel and his father, Shlomo, were deported to the Buna Werke labor camp in the Auschwitz complex. He later emerged as one of the world’s leading voices on human rights, publishing acclaimed books and essays, including Night (1960), his memoir recounting his Holocaust experiences. Over the course of his life, Wiesel received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal, the National Humanities Medal, and the Medal of Liberty. The stamp, designed for two-ounce mail, features a 1999 black-and-white portrait of Wiesel by photographer Sergey Bermeniev, alongside his name and the word “Humanitarian.” Sheets of 20 stamps are available for pre-order at $21.40. Wiesel joins other notable Jewish figures honored in USPS collections, including Jonas Salk, Albert Sabin, Edna Ferber, Shel Silverstein, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

A pair of federal lawsuits filed in San Francisco and New York this week accuse Delta Air Lines and United Airlines of misleading passengers by charging premium fees for window seats next to blank walls. A New York law firm brought the cases as proposed class actions on behalf of any passengers who say they wouldn’t have selected or paid more for their reserved places if they had known the seats did not include a window. “We have received a flood of interest from passengers who feel they have been harmed by this practice and who wish to join the lawsuits,” the Greenbaum Olbrantz firm said in a statement. “It makes sense that people are upset. The majority of Americans fly on one of these airlines at some point and a large proportion of them want or need a window, and they pay good money for the privilege.” Both Delta and United declined to comment, citing pending litigation. The lawsuit against Delta Air Lines states that when New York resident Nicholas Meyer arrived at row No. 23 for a flight to California earlier this month, he discovered the seat he bought was next to a blank wall. At no point during the seat selection process did Delta warn him that 23F was a windowless window seat, according to Meyer, one of the lead plaintiffs. Alaska Airlines and American Airlines also sell such seats but disclose the information when customers choose their seats, the lawsuits assert. The lawsuits allege that United and Delta long have been aware of consumer complaints posted on social media about the windowless seats yet continued charging extra for window seats without windows. The Delta lawsuit includes screenshots of some of those complaints. “Your seat map should not consider this premium, nor should it call it a window seat … There is actually LESS leg room and no perks,” one Delta customer said in a post on Reddit. The proposed class actions are seeking millions of dollars in damages from each carrier. (AP)
A catastrophic attack on Israeli soldiers in Gaza was narrowly averted last month when a Hamas explosive device failed to detonate inside a Namer armored personnel carrier (APC) after troops were forced to open its hatch due to a broken air conditioner. On July 26, during a searing heatwave that pushed temperatures to 35°C (95°F) with suffocating coastal humidity, the cooling system of a Namer APC malfunctioned. As the interior sweltered to 60°C (140°F), soldiers inside were left with no choice but to open the top hatch for air. Hamas footage later showed terrorists sprinting toward the exposed APC, climbing aboard, and tossing an explosive device inside before fleeing. By a miracle, the charge was faulty and failed to detonate, sparing the dozen soldiers inside from certain death. “This was exactly the same scenario as the June incident in which Hamas killed seven soldiers in a combat engineering vehicle,” a former senior officer told Israel Hayom. “Twelve lives were saved by chance alone.” The near-disaster highlights a recurring vulnerability. Soldiers in Gaza have repeatedly been forced to compromise protection because of failing APC cooling systems, particularly in the heavily used Namer fleet, which is built on the Merkava tank chassis. “Every summer, parents are warned not to leave babies in hot cars. Meanwhile, our soldiers are sitting inside sealed vehicles with broken air conditioners, wearing flak jackets and helmets, baking at double the outside temperature,” the officer said. The Namer’s air conditioning units are serviced by civilian contractors, but after two years of nonstop fighting, many systems are simply burning out faster than they can be replaced. The IDF has deployed field repair teams to swap out failed units under fire, but the pace of breakdowns is straining logistics. Commanders on the ground face an impossible choice: pull a vehicle from the field and compromise the mission, or operate with hatches open—exposing troops to enemy fire. Too often, they choose the latter. Veterans warn that the problem reflects a deeper flaw in the army’s readiness model. “The Ground Forces believe toughness means soldiers can go without sleep, food, or proper equipment. That mindset is outdated and dangerous,” the officer stressed. “There are only a few tens of thousands of frontline fighters. They need the best equipment and portable cooling solutions—not broken systems that force them to choose between heatstroke and Hamas.” The IDF Spokesperson pushed back, saying no unresolved air conditioning failures had been identified: “Following field inspections, no untreated air conditioning issues were found. Malfunctions, when they occur, are fixed in real time. Vehicles are closely supervised and maintained, with replacement systems available to every battalion. Extreme conditions in Gaza cause occasional breakdowns, but there is no shortage of solutions in Southern Command.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

President Trump speaks to the National Guard and law enforcement in D.C.: “I just want to thank everybody very much for being here… We’ve had some incredible results… It’s like a different place. It’s like a different city. It’s the capital — it’s going to be the best in the world.”
President Trump visits some of the federal agents and National Guard troops working to make Washington, D.C. safe: “I’ve never received so many phone calls thanking me for what we’ve done in Washington, D.C. … They said what you’ve done, it’s unprecedented.”
A 20-year-old Oklahoma man who pledged support to ISIS, threatened to bomb synagogues, and possessed illicit child abuse materials has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, the Justice Department announced. Landon Kyle Swinford of Blanchard was arrested following a months-long FBI investigation in which he repeatedly expressed interest in committing acts of terror in the United States and fighting abroad for the Islamic State. According to prosecutors, Swinford communicated with an undercover law enforcement officer between May and October 2023 after posting pro-ISIS propaganda online. During those conversations, he said he wanted to travel overseas to fight for ISIS, scouted the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord Memorial Stadium as a potential target, and suggested attacking a Walmart or even the city of New Orleans. The Justice Department said Swinford also circulated a manifesto and recorded a video pledging allegiance to ISIS in which he burned an Israeli flag. Investigators uncovered numerous posts in which Swinford issued threats, including one that read: “Cast fear into the hearts of the kuffar this Halloween, dress up as your favorite mujahideen and bomb a synagogue.” Federal prosecutors said he “specifically targeted synagogues and people of the Jewish faith.” During the probe, the FBI also discovered illicit images of minors on Swinford’s devices. Along with the 10-year prison term, a federal judge ordered five years of supervised release. “The egregious conduct of this defendant stands in direct violation of our core values and must be confronted with the full force of the law,” said Robert Troester, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma.

Uganda has agreed to a deal with the United States to take deported migrants as long as they don’t have criminal records and are not unaccompanied minors, the foreign ministry said Thursday. The ministry said in a statement that the agreement had been concluded but that terms were still being worked out. It added that Uganda prefers that the migrants sent there be of African nationalities, but did not elaborate on what Uganda might get in return for accepting deportees. The U.S. embassy in Uganda declined to comment on what it called “diplomatic negotiations,” but said that diplomats were seeking to uphold U.S. President Donald Trump’s “policy of keeping Americans safe.” However, later in Washington, the State Department said Secretary of State Marco Rubio had spoken by phone with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni about migration and a number of other issues. The department said the call focused on “migration, reciprocal trade, and commercial ties” and that Rubio had “thanked Uganda for providing a model of regional stability including its valuable contributions to peacekeeping in East Africa.” The Trump administration has been seeking ways to deter migrants from entering the United States illegally and to deport those who already have done so, especially those with criminal records and including those who cannot easily be deported to their home country. Human rights activists criticized the deportee deal as possibly going against international law. Henry Okello Oryem, Uganda’s state minister for foreign affairs, on Wednesday had denied that any agreement on deportees had been reached, though he said his government was in discussions about “visas, tariffs, sanctions, and related issues.” He also suggested that his country would draw the line at accepting people associated with criminal groups. “We are talking about cartels: people who are unwanted in their own countries. How can we integrate them into local communities in Uganda?” he said at the time. Oryem and other Ugandan government officials declined to comment Thursday. Opposition lawmaker Muwada Nkunyingi suggested that such a deal with the United States would give the Ugandan government legitimacy ahead of elections, and urged Washington not to turn a blind eye toward what he described as human rights and governance issues in Uganda. Uganda’s leaders will rush into a deal to “clear their image now that we are heading into the 2026 elections,” Nkunyingi said. Human rights lawyer Nicholas Opio likened a deportee deal to human trafficking, and said it would leave status of the deportees unclear. “Are they refugees or prisoners?” he said. “The proposed deal runs afoul of international law. We are sacrificing human beings for political expediency; in this case because Uganda wants to be in the good books of the United States,” he said. “That I can keep your prisoners if you pay me; how is that different from human trafficking?” In July, the U.S. deported five men with criminal backgrounds to the southern African kingdom of Eswatini and sent eight more to South Sudan. The men from Cuba, Jamaica, Laos, Yemen and Vietnam sent to Eswatini are being held in solitary confinement until they can be deported to their home countries, which could take up to a year. A legal challenge in the U.S had halted the deportation process of the eight men in South Sudan but a Supreme Court ruling eventually cleared […]
A German court has ruled that the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial may lawfully bar visitors from wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh at commemorative events, upholding the site’s right to restrict political displays on its grounds. The Higher Administrative Court of Thuringia issued the decision Wednesday after a woman challenged her exclusion from an April ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of Buchenwald’s liberation. She had arrived wearing the scarf, which she admitted was meant to protest what she described as the memorial’s “one-sided support” for Israel. The judges determined that her protest risked disturbing the site’s solemn purpose and Jewish visitors in particular. “It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,” the court said in its ruling. It concluded that the woman’s right to free expression was outweighed by the memorial’s mandate to preserve historical dignity and prevent political agitation. The case follows controversy over a leaked internal Buchenwald document that described the keffiyeh as “closely associated with efforts to destroy the state of Israel.” Memorial director Jens-Christian Wagner later called that phrasing “mistaken,” but stood by restrictions when the scarf is used to politicize Nazi crimes or undermine the memory of Holocaust victims. “The keffiyeh is not banned outright,” Wagner told AFP, “but it may be restricted when it risks relativizing Nazi crimes.” Buchenwald, located near Weimar, was one of the largest concentration camps on German soil. During World War II, about 340,000 people were imprisoned there. At least 56,000 died in the camp itself, while another 20,000 perished at its Mittelbau-Dora annex, where prisoners were forced to build rockets for the Nazi war machine.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said Thursday that former White House spokesman Ian Sams admitted he spoke with President Biden just two times during his more than two years in the administration — raising questions about who was truly making decisions in the West Wing. “One of the most shocking things to me,” Comer told reporters after Sams’ testimony, “is that he communicated with Joe Biden two times, he saw Joe Biden, talked to Joe Biden — two times.” Comer added that even former special counsel Robert Hur “spent more time with Joe Biden than Ian Sams,” despite Sams serving as the public face of the White House Counsel’s Office from mid-2022 until his departure in August 2024. Sams left the post to join Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign as a senior adviser. “It raises serious concerns and serious questions about who was calling the shots at the White House,” Comer said. “If the White House spokesperson was being shielded from the president of the United States, who was operating the Oval Office?” The interview with Sams was the committee’s 11th session with a former Biden aide as Republicans pursue their investigation into what they describe as a coordinated cover-up of Biden’s decline. Comer and other GOP investigators allege that aides improperly used executive authority to maintain the appearance of normalcy inside the White House. “There were very few people around Joe Biden, especially at the end,” Comer continued, “and that’s when the majority of the pardons and executive orders were signed with that autopen.” The revelations, Comer suggested, point to a president increasingly isolated from his own staff — and raise the possibility that critical decisions and executive actions were carried out without his direct involvement.
