Former Health Ministry director-general Prof. Gabi Barbash fears that Israel is heading for to another lockdown next winter.

In an interview with 103FM radio, Barbash, who is the former director-general of the Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv as well as former Health Ministry director-general, said that due to the coronavirus outbreak coinciding with the expected return of the seasonal flu, the upcoming winter is going to be exceptionally challenging. "We are headed to a long lockdown in the coming winter," he said.

Barbash further commented on the government's decision to impose new restrictions, which will come into effect Friday at 5:00 p.m.The decision is part of a larger package of restrictions intended to curb the rapid spread of the coronavirus.

Comment: "...since the chances of being infected with coronavirus in the open air are low." And that, concisely, is the rebuttal on lockdown protocol. Stringing together even two pieces of proven logic is more than most 'authorities' care to consider.

The Trump administration is rebuking Portland officials for enabling a violent siege that has dragged on for nearly eight weeks, firing the latest salvo in a clash with leftist mayors over failures to restore order to US cities.

Portland's leaders "refuse to restore order to protect their city," acting Homeland Security chief Chad Wolf said in a statement issued Thursday. He provided a 47-day timeline, stretching from May 29 to July 15, chronicling a series of attacks on property and people by "violent anarchists."

The statement came two days after Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said his biggest concern was the violent tactics that federal law enforcement officers were using against protesters. "We do not need or want their help," he added, and suggested that federal officers "stay inside their building or leave Portland altogether."

This new wave of lockdowns will ensure the US remains in an economic depression through the 2020 election

Covid puzzle
Another wave of lockdowns has begun, and that is really bad news for the U.S. economy. The first wave of lockdowns resulted in the permanent closing of more than 100,000 U.S. businesses, colossal lines at food banks around the nation, and the loss of tens of millions of jobs. Needless to say, this new wave of lockdowns will make things even worse, and some are speculating that this is precisely what Democrats want. If the U.S. economy continues to fall apart as we approach the election in November, the thinking is that this will make President Trump look bad and will make it more likely that people will cast votes for Democrats. But there is also the possibility that this could backfire in a huge way for the left. If millions of Americans start to identify the Democrats as "the party of the lockdowns", that could actually greatly help President Trump in November.

At this point, the battle lines are becoming quite clear. President Trump and other top Republicans are strongly against more lockdowns, but Democratic politicians in many areas of the country are starting to institute them anyway. In fact, we just learned that all schools in Los Angeles, San Diego, Atlanta and Nashville will be closed at the beginning of the new school year...
Resisting pressure from President Donald Trump, three of the nation's largest school districts said Monday that they will begin the new school year with all students learning from home.

Schools in Los Angeles, San Diego and Atlanta will begin entirely online, officials said Monday. Schools in Nashville plan to do the same, at least through Labor Day.

Columbus' proposed SPLC-backed police witch hunt will send chills down your spine

The city council of Columbus, Ohio, is considering legislation to screen police officers for any connection to "hate groups" (including secretly harboring the beliefs of "hate groups"), citing the ever-so-reliable Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Former SPLC employees have confessed to taking part in a hate-for-pay scheme, exaggerating the number of "hate groups" in order to bilk donors, and the SPLC faces numerous defamation lawsuits regarding that "hate group" accusation. Even so, a city council member told PJ Media that the council will define "hate group" in such a manner as to include organizations accused by the SPLC, and to go further.

"We want to make it clear that our challenge with developing this legislation will be in defining what is considered a hate group," Columbus City Councilmember Shayla Favor, chair of the Criminal Justice Committee, told PJ Media in a statement.

Soros-backed attorney Kim Gardner's long history of outlandish behavior even before going after the McCloskeys

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner
Far left billionaire George Soros has been systematically targeting district attorney races throughout the United States for several years now. Several of his candidates are already in office creating havoc. In St. Louis City George Soros was Kim Gardner's biggest donor in her race for Circuit Attorney. Soros funded PAC even released an ad in support of this far left and unqualified nutcase.

Kim Gardner may be the most radical Soros-funded Circuit Attorney in the nation today.

Kim Gardner is so intolerable that two dozen attorneys and more than one-third of the trial lawyers left the office when she was hired. And this is a Democrat dominated office!

Comment: Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has weighed in on the affair, penning a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr:
Senator Josh Hawley is calling for a federal civil rights investigation into St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner after claiming she is "targeting the McCloskey family for using firearms to defend themselves and their property against a mob of protesters."

"This is an unacceptable abuse of power and threat to the Second Amendment, and I urge you to consider a federal civil rights investigation into the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office to determine whether this investigation and impending prosecution violates this family's constitutional rights," Hawley wrote.

"I am deeply disappointed that a U.S. Senator would intervene in a local matter that is under investigation," said Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner in a statement.

Hawley's letter:




Briefcase

Britain must get Shamima Begum back to London and give this wilful traitor an honest trial

Shamima Begum
© YouTube / BBC NewsShamima Begum in a BBC interview
Why is the UK more concerned about Shamima Begum's citizenship than bringing her to justice? It is essential she faces a jury in a British court, so the public can fully understand why traiterous behaviour is unacceptable.

I agree with the Court of Appeal's ruling that Shamima Begum should be allowed to return to the UK to fight the decision to remove her citizenship. The decision to revoke it was wrong, and not allowing her to return to Britain was ill-judged, because it deprived the public of the right to pass judgement on her traitorous behaviour.

What's at issue is not simply Begum's right to fight for the return of her citizenship, but also the importance of holding to account those who have apparently betrayed their national community.

Five years ago, Begum - then aged 15 - was one of three schoolgirls who left London to join the Islamic State group in Syria. To this day, she does not appear to regret her decision to commit an apparent act of treason and join and support a terrorist death cult comprising some of her nation's sworn enemies.

Comment: Perhaps one reason why the British government doesn't seek to try Begum in a court of law is because it will call attention to the criminal complicity that their intelligence and military community is guilty of in fostering and propping up the radicalization of those vulnerable to such indoctrination. Like the US and Israel, the UK has instigated, supplied and supported much of the foreign and domestic terror attacks that we have seen over the past two decades.

Nick Cannon dubs Jews 'magnificent people' in long apology after anti-Semitism charges, stays mum about calling whites 'savages'

Entertainer Nick Cannon has offered a lengthy apology after creating a wave of controversy with anti-Jewish remarks in a recently published interview, but offered no mea culpa for similar inflammatory comments about white people.

"First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin," Cannon said in the first of a series of tweets on Wednesday night, adding that he is "ashamed" his comments "reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people."


Comment: It's always nice to have a PR person write your public apologies for you. It really screams sincerity and authenticity, not to mention genuine remorse.



Cannon landed himself in hot water earlier this week after posting an interview with rapper and former Public Enemy member Richard Griffin, believed to have been recorded sometime last year. In the clip, Cannon delved into a number of questionable theories, arguing African Americans are the "true Hebrews," while suggesting the Rothschilds - a wealthy Jewish family that features prominently in a number of conspiracy theories - were part of a cabal seeking to control "everything, even outside of America." The comments swiftly prompted his employer, ViacomCBS, to cut ties with the entertainer.


Comment: One of those statements has a tad more truth than the other.


Wednesday's apology marks a rapid reversal for Cannon, who less than a day prior penned a nearly 1,500-word Facebook post demanding that ViacomCBS apologize instead - saying the company was "on the wrong side of history" - and insisting on "full ownership" of the 'Wild 'n Out' TV series he hosted and helped to create.

Comment: One of the good things about free speech is actual idiots and racists have the freedom to expose themselves for all to see.

Rolling Stone writer says word 'pro-life' is racist, should be retired

jamil smith
Rolling Stone senior writer Jamil Smith opined that the word "pro-life" has so often been used in service to racism and misogyny that it should be retired like the name "Redskins."

Smith made the comment on Twitter while responding to an incendiary comment from Bishop Talbert Swan against pro-life voters.

"Ironically, the governors most willing to watch their citizens die are the ones who have used 'pro-life' rhetoric to compel people of faith to support the narrow interests of corporate greed & white political power. COVID has revealed how the 'pro-life' movement is killing us," tweeted Swan.


Comment: Number of abortions in the USA in 2016: 620,000. Number of alleged COVID deaths in the US so far: 138,000, many in 'pro-choice' states like New York and California. The U.S. aborts more babies in one year than have died worldwide from COVID-19.


Smith agreed and added that the word should be cancelled.

"This point cannot be emphasized enough, or too often," tweeted Smith.


Comment: Says this clown. Yes, it can be emphasized too often. Once is more than enough.



"The moniker 'pro-life,' so often used in the service of not just misogyny but also racism, should be retired right along with Aunt Jemima and the 'Redskins' team name," he added.

Best of the Web: The dehumanizing condescension of 'White Fragility'

The popular book aims to combat racism but talks down to Black people.

I must admit that I had not gotten around to actually reading Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility until recently. But it was time to jump in. DiAngelo is an education professor and — most prominently today — a diversity consultant who argues that whites in America must face the racist bias implanted in them by a racist society. Their resistance to acknowledging this, she maintains, constitutes a "white fragility" that they must overcome in order for meaningful progress on both interpersonal and societal racism to happen.

White Fragility was published in 2018 but jumped to the top of the New York Times best-seller list amid the protests following the death of George Floyd and the ensuing national reckoning about racism. DiAngelo has convinced university administrators, corporate human-resources offices, and no small part of the reading public that white Americans must embark on a self-critical project of looking inward to examine and work against racist biases that many have barely known they had.

New from Teen Vogue: Sleep is systemically racist

" ... to navigate as an activist or organizer ... creates a lot of burnout."

Teen Vogue, in its imperishable desire to act as the spearhead for political correctness, published an article titled "Black Power Naps Is Addressing Systemic Racism in Sleep," in which they plugged an artistic initiative entitled "Black Power Naps," which argues that blacks have had shorter lives than whites because blacks were not permitted to sleep, and thus reparations must be given in the form of time off from work.

Teen Vogue writes of Fannie Sosa and Navild Acosta, who created Black Power Naps, that they "were tired, but it wasn't just any old fatigue. Yes, they experienced a lack of sleep, but they were specifically experiencing a generational fatigue familiar to Black people and people of color."

Comment: Sleep deprivation is, unfortunately, part of the current human condition. To try to use that as a means of browbeating race cards into their readers is entirely typical of Teen Vogue, an absolute trash rag. By teaching their young readers to see racism everywhere, even in sleep, they're ensuring the future generation will be even more coddled and useless than the previous one.
