Senator Diane Feinstein of California returned to the Senate last week after a 2 1/2 month absence during which the 89-year-old underwent treatment for shingles. The problem? She seems to have no recollection of being missing from Washington. “What has the response from your colleagues been like? The well-wishes, what have you heard,” Ben Oreskes of the Los Angeles Times asked Feinstein about her return. “What have I heard about what,” Feinstein replied. Oreskes asked again about her absence, but the senator appeared to have no recollection of it. “No, I haven’t been gone… I haven’t been gone I’ve been working,” she insisted. “I’ve been voting. Please, either know or don’t know.” Feinstein is the oldest US senator and has been serving in the position since 1992.

As it becomes more and more clear that left-wing protesters, who every week come up with a new reason to protest, simply hate Chareidim, there was widespread condemnation of the Bnei Brak “hate protest” on Wednesday evening. Even left-wing media personalities criticized the “siege” of the Chareidi city.  Journalist Eldad Yaniv wrote: “What heartache about good Israelis who lost their way. They yell to the media that they’re ‘besieging’ their brothers – but in actuality, they fall on the refreshment stands the ‘besieged’ prepared for them.” “My camp doesn’t deserve to look like this – like an empty wagon.” “The demonstration of hatred against Bnei Brak tonight shames every humanist, liberal and human-loving Israeli.” Yaniv later added: “Tell me the truth.

A large number of officers of Israel Police and Border Guard equipped with horses and water cannons were waiting on Wednesday evening in Bnei Brak in preparation for the provocative “siege of the city and “march of rage” by left-wing protesters. Hundreds of protesters entered the city waving flags, shouting slogans and carrying anti-Chareidi signs. There were complaints from dozens of city residents who were blocked by police officers from returning to their homes on the streets where the protesters were marching. Like the previous march, some residents greeted the “besiegers” with drinks and snacks. A sign greeted the protesters saying: “Bnei Brak will remain Bnei Brak and Tel Aviv will remain Tel Aviv.

A driver’s decision to abruptly halt their vehicle in the middle of a bustling highway in Florida to allow a turtle to cross the road resulted in a major collision involving multiple vehicles, according to authorities. The incident unfolded on Tuesday morning along U.S. Route 331, as a pickup truck, a semitruck, and several other cars became entangled in a chain-reaction crash, as reported by the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. Acknowledging the importance of preserving wildlife and the natural inhabitants of the state, the sheriff’s office emphasized that everyone has a role to play in safeguarding these creatures.

A female protester who condemned Chareidim for not serving in the IDF and “not being Jews” at a protest outside the home of Housing Minister Yitzchak Goldknopf on Tuesday, didn’t serve in the army or perform national service herself, it was revealed on Wednesday by journalist Yishay Fridman. Ironically, a Chassid she confronted at the protest served in the IDF for three years and employs dozens of workers at the company he owns. The protester is Prof. Elise Brezis, a professor of economics at Bar-Ilan University and the director of the Azrieli Center for Economic Policy in Israel. Brezis is originally from a Chassidish background and her brother is a Rav.

Elon Musk has stepped into a new controversy after making some inflammatory tweets. On Monday, the ultra-wealthy tech mogul likened liberal billionaire and activist George Soros to comic book villain Magneto, a fictional character who is a Holocaust survivor. “He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity,” Musk followed up.

The Jewish Future Alliance (JFA) is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for a reported robbery at Railroad Pizza on Monday night, May 8th. The incident occurred at 227 Kingston Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11213. The robbery took place on Monday, May 8th, at approximately 11PM, after the store owner had closed for the day and was preparing for an event the following day. Two perpetrators entered the store through an open sidewalk cellar grate. They claimed to have guns and proceeded to hold up the owner, forcing him to lie face down on the floor for nearly ten minutes. During this time, they emptied his pockets, stole his phone, and took his credit card.

During the Senate Banking Committee hearing on Tuesday, Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, drew lots of unwanted attention with his fragmented and occasionally perplexing line of questioning. Fetterman, who was the final senator to engage in questioning during the hearing addressing the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, seemed to encounter difficulties as he delivered his opening statement. Fetterman said executives “went to go to Hawaiis (sic) after there was a crash of your bank” and that he “couldn’t believe it.” “So, I went up on the Internet, and it’s like, it did happen. It did happen. It did happen,” he said. “And it’s in Fortune, the second-biggest bank in U.S. history collapsed and chose to go to Hawaii on that,” he continued.

The situation at the southern border with Mexico is a mess. Even Chris Cuomo is willing to admit it. The disgraced former CNN host – long known for his liberal views – ripped into the Biden administration for ignoring the growing crisis. “You heard all the politics about how there was going to be an invasion and now there’s literally almost no one here, and for you, the absence of people should be more frightening than seeing the big groups because when you see big groups, that means you know where migrants are,” Cuomo said in a live report from the border on his new NewsNation program. “The media made a big mistake taking a pass on this because we don’t have the spectacle of massive crowds, okay?” Cuomo said.

Leftist “Brother in Arms” protesters gathered on Tuesday morning near the home of Housing Minister Yitzchak Goldknopf in the Geulah neighborhood of Jerusalem in order to arouse provocations. In a shameful display of age-old antisemitic tropes, the protesters scattered hundreds of fake 200 shekel bills in protest against the government that “robs the public purse and scatters coalitions funds.” This is the second time that Brothers in Arms scattered bills in protests against Chareidim, with the first time occurring in a protest outside Aryeh Deri’s home in March.
