Decided I needed a break from all the toxicity related to the 3rd major SAR Child Sex Abuse Scandal at this yeshiva,
This beautiful Japanese garden is way better to look at then the lies, denials, and cover-up that SAR and their public relations cronies are posting.
Anyway, tired of their bullsh*t and you should be too.
Enjoy the beautiful Japanese Garden.
Compliments of one of the prior child victims of SAR Academy.

This is what has become of the garbage New York Times…
Resorting to anti-Semitism, hate, and incitement against the Jewish people and Israel.
This from the New York Times “coincidentally” the same day that a shooting spree took place at a synagogue in California resulting with one women dead, multiple people injured, and the Rabbi losing one or more of his fingers.
Complete disgrace on the hateful, Anti-Semitic New York Times!
U.S. Department of Justice investigation!!!
Amazing how the alt-left liberals, with the New York Times leading the march of hate, profess to fight against every …phobia and …ism, except of course, against the age-old Anti-Semitism!
How are the New York Times’ disgusting “leadership” going to be held accountable?
For every decent person still out there, please dump your subscription to the garbage New York Times and stand up against the hateful publication that it truly is.

Today is the 17th anniversary since that fateful day of 9/11 when the terrorists brought down both World Trade Centers and ploughed another plane into the Pentagon.
One of the greatest acts of terrorism in history.
With almost 3,000 dead and the center of our financial and military strength hit in a flash attack, we as a nation stood naked.
We’ve gone after the terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and more, but still, there is the endless drone of world-wide terrorism.
Yes, we are lucky that nothing major has happened in the U.S. since 2001.
At the same time, we know that anything could happen at any time–from another terror attack to a catastrophic cyber attack that takes out our critical infrastructure, bioterrorism that wipes out hundreds of millions with genetically engineered viruses, or even nuclear warheads wiping out entire cities or regions of the world.
Forget natural disasters for the moment, man-made disasters are always just around the corner when it comes to planning and execution.
The FBI and our other dedicated law enforcement personnel try to stop them all, but no one and nothing human is perfect.
So while we try to maintain an elevated security posture to protect this country and even maybe someday build a wall that doesn’t leave us with porous borders for everyone and anyone to get in willy-nilly, many don’t or barely remember 9/11 and what it meant.
We said it changed everything forever, but did we mean it?
17 years and we’ve been fortunate–very fortunate–but are we ready for the next fateful blow to land in the ongoing war on terror. 😉

So this part 4 of my posts about the sexual misconduct inflicted on the children in Riverdale.
This is a follow-on to my post of January 10 regarding a message from Salanter Akiba of Riverdale (SAR) Academy about the exploits of one of its former teachers and administrators who “pleaded no contest to two counts of second-degree child molestation.”
I agreed to be interviewed by the SAR investigator about my experience as a 7th-grade child who had been lured for a Shabbat to this monsters home.
Rabbi Rosenfeld was never my teacher, and I would have never ended up at his home for Shabbat if not for this person, who invited me there, drove me there, and listened to my cries in the next room.
It was extremely painful to recount in detail the childhood memories of sexual assault as she asked me question after question about every detail, and without malice, but basically forced me to relive the events of so long ago.
What is incredible to me is that the enabler/facilitator of that Shabbat invitation and course of events, I have come to understand, MAY STILL WORK IN THAT SCHOOL!
How many other children were lured to Rabbi Rosenfeld’s home by this person–who was being paid and given benefits, as well as provided harbor and shelter, by this school (perhaps unknowingly) for decades and decades.
But now if it is true, that this person is still there, the school has an ethical and I am certain, legal duty to protect the children that go there.
No child should be abused sexually or otherwise or be part of such atrocities by former or current staff.
I was one of the children who suffered in silence for too long.
But now I understand that one of my purposes in this world is to help make things right.
To the Riverdale community, to the board and leadership of SAR, I ask you, what is your role and responsibility?

One of those are you kidding me moments…
Hillary is talking about other people’s obstruction of justice…
Wasn’t it her husband, Bill, who had a little talk with then U.S. Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, on the tarmac–with cameras and mics turned off–when the FBI was investigating her!
During the election, the crowds chanted “Lock her up!”
This isn’t about Democrat or Republican.
Wherever you look, the politics seems so dirty and the corruption so deep.
What happened to the soul of America and what we really stood for as a people and a nation?

Who would’ve thunk it…the FBI chief goes kerplunk.
James Comey–only 37% through his tenure as Director–is fired for the (mis)handling of the Hillary Clinton email fiasco.
But Hillary never even saw justice.
The politics in Washington is forever an ironic cliffhanger.
The democrats who were supposedly aggrieved by Comey in the election are now screaming foul for his dismissal
And the republicans who supposedly benefited by Comey closing and opening of the case against Clinton are signing praises for his release.
Nothing is ever as it seems.
Aliens could be falling from the sky and it would still be a political event.
Washington conspiracy and counter-conspiracy theories…but the work of the people does it ever get done? 😉

How low do some people go?
So far this year, there have been over 100 bomb threats to Jewish community centers, synagogues, and schools–threatening innocent men, women, and children.
In just three months, from the election through February 7, there have been over 1,300 hate incidents targeting a variety of religious and ethnic groups since the election–this is a 650% increase over “normal.”
Thank G-d, nothing large-scale and serious has actually happened.
But hate is alive and well in the USA.
Already, there’s been one arrest of a left-wing extremist.
You can be sure that more will follow!
Those evil people with bias, prejudice, and hate in their hearts and violence on their minds will see justice done.
It’s a matter of time…
Unanimously 100 Senators have called for swift action.
We have some of the finest law enforcement in the entire world.
And with every hateful act, you are leaving a most wonderful forensic trail of evidence that will lead them right back to you.
It’s one thing for people to disagree politically, religiously, socially or otherwise but it’s another to be a racist and hater and seek to do bad.
You may be calling in bomb threats, but what’s ticking is the clock on you…the countdown has begun until you’re caught and then you’ll be counting the years and decades locked securely behind bars, wasting away, and doing your hard time and penance for the crimes you have done and the evil you espouse.
With justice, may G-d hear it, see it, and let it be done. 😉

So true story…
This week I was walking in Downtown, D.C.
I see something strange, not usually there.
There is a U-Haul van parked in front of the GW University School of Science and Engineering.
Literally in front of the main doors.
A couple of it’s wheels are actually sloppily on the sidewalk and it is in front of a fire hydrant in front of the very doors to the school.
But that’s not all.
All around the vehicle are oddly taped on posters as you see above.
On some of the posters are antagonistic words about DOJ (the Department of Justice) and some even use the word “terrorist.”
Well, after the devastating terror attack in 1995 against the Oklahoma City Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building with a massive homemade bomb concealed in a rental truck that killed 168 people and wounded almost 700, I decided it’s probably a good idea to call the police.
In the time that it took them to come, I was able to walk to the market place and to coffee…I know they are busy, but it seemed like forever.
Finally, two patrol cars pull up…that’s good.
I go outside to meet them.
The officer after briefly looking around (and not in) the vehicle looks at me as I walk over to him.
I said, “I called you about this suspicious vehicle.”
He goes sternly, “Well, what’s suspicious about it?”
I described the obvious…how it was parked with wheels on the sidewalk, at a fire hydrant, right in front of the main doors to the school, and with all those (crazy) posters all around it and uses the word “terrorist”.
Surprisingly to me, the officer responds, “That’s not suspicious!” Then he concedes, “but I will give it a ticket.”
He must’ve seen my face go into this contorted questioning look, but I thought the better of the situation and said with deference to him, “Well Sir, you’re the expert!”
I thank him for coming out and walk away feeling disheartened at this security response just 15 years after 9/11 and when we are still fighting a gruesome war with ISIS and against global terrorism.
Then just a few days later, look at the article I came across with a homeland security warning:
“ISIS Guide: Rent a U-Haul As A Weapon, Target Thanksgiving Day Parade or Political Rallies.”
In the ISIS instructions, there is a picture of a U-Haul truck with the caption, “An Affordable Weapon” and the statement that “low security” gatherings “are fair game and more devastating to Crusader nations.”
With all due respect for our esteemed law enforcement, perhaps we need to take these terrorist warnings more seriously, and frankly even without the explicit warning, a suspicious U-Haul in downtown DC in front of a major university probably deserves more than just a parking ticket! 😉

There is a fire that even these many fire extinguishers cannot put out, because it is our very democracy that is under attack and aflame.
If secrecy, lies, perjury, corruption, and end-runs around the law weren’t enough…now, we have the ultimate in democratic corruption.
Hacked emails from the Democratic Party show election rigging, collusion, and corruption at the highest levels.
Emails document how DNC party officials questioned about:
“Whether they should raise doubts about the Sanders campaign.”
One senior official says:
“Wonder if there’s a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never had his act together, that his campaign is a mess.”
Another official stated:
“Does he believe in a G-d. He had skated as saying that he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps [people].”
Even Sanders’ campaign manager said that the emails showed that party officials were:
“Planting negative stories about him with religious leaders in various states [to rig the election towards the former First Lady].”
This is a clear case of conspiracy–and I do not use this word lightly–where the election was being steered by a corruption-infected system towards a certain candidate denying the actual will of the people and their rightful candidate choice.
Ah, so much for a fair and just democracy.
The Democratic National Convention starts on Monday, and it looks like they will be celebrating their corruption not only in terms of a system rigged with superdelegates, but where collusion and political narrative thrive and the political opposition, Bernie Sanders, never even had any chance, let alone a fair and democratic one.
Where is the accountability of these officials–are they too above the law as is their candidate.
No candidate for election should have a tacit nod of consent and support from officials and definitely should not be put in place when not in line with the will of the people!
We do not live in a dictatorship, in totalitarianism, in fascism–or perhaps, we most sadly do.
It is incredible hypocrisy that we send election monitors around the globe to police and ensure fair elections, but here at home, we can’t seem to effectively police our own system for fairness.
The election for president in the exemplary democracy of the world, the U.S.A, should not have the powerful, the elites, the 1%, control who is elected to office.
The situation has gone from bad to worse with serious allegations of:
– Vanishing global moral “red lines”
– Shady deals with our sworn “Death To America” enemies
– Laughter at murderous terrorist attacks
– Shutting of the eyes at the killing of police officers
– Money-laundering from private foundations
– Private servers exposing state secrets
– Election rigging
These are a treachery and a desertion of our very democracy, and unfortunately the fire of corruption is still burning in our beloved America while the convention just begins. 😉

So not that anyone was so thrilled with the Syria and Iraq refugee idea post 9/11 to begin with…
But now 31 States have come straight out refusing to take these refugees post the terror attack that happened just last week in Paris–where at least one of the terrorists was...
Guess what?
That’s right! A fake refugee from Syria.
But what about the “intensive vetting process” that is being promised for these 10,000 refugees?
Well what can be more intensive than the vetting that the American government does on employees working for highly sensitive agencies like the CIA, FBI, and NSA?
So how has that worked out?
Probably not too bad, but the problem is that no vetting no matter how thorough is foolproof, hence major spies have infiltrated these organizations for years or even decades and caused immense harm to national security:
Robert Hanssen (former FBI–spied for the Soviets for 21 years)
Aldrich Ames (31-year veteran of the CIA, compromised 2nd largest number of CIA agents after Robert Hanssen)
Edward Snowden (leaked classified information from the NSA on our surveillance programs)
The point is that no matter how well we vet 10,000 or more refugees from Iraq and Syria, with ISIS vowing “to strike America at its center in Washington”–there certainly can be some errors in the screening and final adjudication process.
Again no vetting process is perfect–especially when the refugees themselves are admitting that fake ideas are being given out to them like candy in a candy store.
So that’s the dilemma we now face:
HEART–do what our heart tells us to and help people in need by taking in the refugees.
OR
HEAD–follow our heads not risking another one or more potentially devastating terror attacks on the U.S. homeland.
The choice is heartbreaking or headache producing! 😉
