A patriotic Upper West Side synagogue whose leaders fought with George Washington has been celebrating Thanksgiving since the first president proclaimed it a national holiday in 1789.As a modern and secular holiday, Thanksgiving celebrations are rare in Jewish houses of worship — but that is not the case at Shearith Israel, America’s first Jewish congregation.On Thanksgiving day, the temple will feature a special holiday-themed liturgy, followed by an address by Rabbi Meir Soloveichik and readings from a Torah adorned with Liberty Bells.

Democrats Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are receiving a stream of cash from Republican donors as the centrist senators continue to derail Joe Biden's liberal agenda in Congress.With a 50-50 split Senate, even one defector could severely throw off the Democrat agenda – as their best hope is to get all members of the party on board and have Vice President Kamala Harris come in to break the tie.Billionaire Republican donor Stanley Hubbard wrote his first check to Sinema in September and said he is considering also donating to Manchin.

Kamala Harris became the first woman ‘acting president’ on Friday when President Joe Biden underwent a brief, routine medical procedure in what press secretary Jen Psaki called, a moment “that will be noted for many women, young girls across the country.” Harris, who is the first female Vice President, served as acting president for a whole hour and 25 minutes while Biden was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy and medical exam at Walter Reed Medical Center.Harris technically became the first female in the country’s history to hold the commander-in-chief’s office– however brief it may have been.

The White House's communications chief of staff has announced she is leaving her post, marking the administration's second high-profile resignation this week as President Biden's approval ratings continue to plummet. White House communications chief of staff Emma Riley said Friday she is resigning from her Oval Office gig less than a year into the administration and is heading to a new post at the Labor Department. 'It was an honor and privilege to serve @POTUS and the American people at the @White House … I'm excited to be moving down Pennsylvania Ave and traveling around the country with @SecMartyWalsh and @USDOL,' Riley tweeted.

By a narrow margin, the Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives voted on complicated and controversial legislation. Inside-the-Beltway observers, always attuned to political technique, were duly impressed by the muscle used to get the bill through the House. In the words of Politico, “Despite the tough path to passage, the legislation is a significant win for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.” For his part, the new Democratic president—less than a year into office—was delighted. He said of the legislation, “It’s a bold and necessary step.”So, yes, Democrats were very happy when the American Clean Energy and Security Act passed the House on June 26, 2009.
As Vice President Kamala Harris continues to flounder in the polls, Democrats are scrambling to dispel rumors that President Biden will not run in the 2024 election while maintaining a dose of healthy realism.Last week, former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT), a longtime friend of the president, sparked a wave of speculation when he suggested to the New York Times that Biden may not seek reelection.“I’m hoping the president runs for re-election,” Dodd said. “But for whatever reason that might not be the case, it’s hard to believe there would be a shortlist without Kamala’s name on it. She’s the vice president of the United States.

Fox News analyst Juan Williams said on Friday on “Special Report” that if Kyle Rittenhouse were a black teen, he would have been treated differently.Discussing Rittenhouse’s not guilty verdict, Williams said, “Well, I think one of the realities is that the jury made a decision. And I think a considered decision after lengthy three days, obviously, looking at the facts of the case and looking at the law. I think that’s where we have to go. I think there are lots of people who are concerned that someone crossing into another state with a weapon, you know, really a vicious weapon, is now under the law allowed to engage in

‘Validates the Terrorist Acts of a White Supremacist’ 46 replies
After a Wisconsin jury declared that accused shooter Kyle Rittenhouse was “not guilty” on all counts, former NFL player Colin Kaepernick called the teenager a “white supremacist” benefiting from a system that Kaep wants to “abolish.”Rittenhouse, the teenager who shot several assailants who attacked him during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020, was declared innocent in a Friday afternoon reading of his verdict. Still, the determination did not sit well with the hard-left, anti-American protester and former second-string NFL quarterback.Just after the verdict, Kaepernick went on a tear, tweeting, “We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist.”
Eighty looters ransacked a Nordstrom store in California's Bay Area on Saturday night, injuring at least three employees in a raid that lasted less than a minute. The large group,wearing ski masks and carrying crowbars, rushed the Walnut Creek store, stole an undetermined amount of merchandise and fled in their vehicles.
During the theft, two Nordstrom workers were punched and kicked, while another was sprayed with pepper spray.(Snip)The brazen robbery comes as Bay Area businesses reduce their hours due to a spate of brazen shoplifting incidents. Locals are also slamming woke San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin over his failure to prosecute thefts.
Last week, Dr. Anthony Fauci made perhaps the most damning confession in the Covid vaccine saga. So far-reaching are the implications of his statement that the interview in which he made it may well prove a turning point in the fight against the vaccine fraud that is being perpetrated on the peoples of the world.
In a November 12 podcast session with the New York Times, Fauci was forced to admit the fact that the vaccines do not reliably protect their recipients from serious Covid or death. (snip) Fauci’s words amount to the admission that the vaccinated are getting infected and more and more of them are ending up in hospital
On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” host Joy Reid reacted to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict by stating that America “was built on the idea that white men had a particular kind of freedom and a particular kind of citizenship that only they have, that gives, from the slave catchers on, the right to inflict violence in the name of protecting property. That’s like the foundational creation of the United States.” And so, a conviction of Rittenhouse would have been a shock.Reid said, “I was not at all surprised. We’ve talked about this. I mean, this is what we expected to happen.
One of CNN’s responses to Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal on murder and reckless endangerment charges Friday was to publish a lengthy column by a black senior writer and producer declaring that the “angry white man” is “more frightening in America” today than anything else.“…[A]s I’ve watched three separate trials about White male violence unfold across the US these past few weeks — the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the Ahmaud Arbery death trial and the civil case against organizers of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville — I’ve come to a sobering conclusion: There is nothing more frightening in America today than an angry White man,” wrote John Blake
The White House issued a statement on Saturday recognizing a day of remembrance for the transgender community, citing those who were killed in acts of violence. President Biden called on state and local leaders to follow suit of his administration to advance policies that aid and protect LGBTQ people. “Transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know. But no person should have to be brave just to live in safety and dignity. Today, we remember. Tomorrow—and every day—we must continue to act,” Mr. Biden said in a statement. The president also condemned various bills across GOP-led state legislatures that are aimed at curbing transgender policies.
For many, it was a brave and long-overdue airing of an important and distressing subject: a painstaking investigation into claims that predatory trans women have been pressuring lesbians for sex, published on the BBC News website. But a leaked email shows that the influential trans lobby group Stonewall attempted to suppress the investigation before it had even been published–and made the extraordinary claim that debating the issues was equivalent to ‘sexual racism’. This latest move to try to stifle free speech will add to growing concerns about the influence of Stonewall, which is paid millions of pounds for advising public bodies–including Government departments, police forces and universities
The White House on Friday released a copy of results from President Biden's first physical exam, which claims he is fit to lead the nation and highlights observations including his "stiffened" walking pattern.Biden, who turns 79 on Saturday, was evaluated for his first physical since taking office by White House physician Kevin O'Connor. According to O'Connor's examination, Biden "remains a healthy, vigorous, 78-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency."While O'Connor did not report any vital health concerns regarding the president, the results of his exam
The relationship between Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their respective staffs has been on rocky ground for months. As RedState previously reported, the vice president and her camp have complained about being abandoned, even blaming racism as a possible factor, while the White House has fretted at Harris’ sheer incompetence and inability to garner support on her own. Those tensions have led to lots of speculation about what exactly happens in 2024. Harris is clearly a terrible candidate, something she showed during the 2020 presidential primary, but she’s also the heir apparent until Democrats forcibly remove her from that position.
