Left-wing protesters burst into the auditorium where Housing Minister Yitzchak Goldknopf was speaking at the Israel Land Authority conference in Tel Aviv on Wednesday morning. Protesters had congregated in front of the Eretz Yisrael museum, where the conference was held, and several burst in the hall during Goldknopf’s speech. “You want to destroy the Supreme Court!” one of them shouted. Others joined and shouted: “Busha, go home.” Goldknopf stopped speaking but then continued after the protesters were forcibly evicted from the hall by security guards. In the wake of the protest, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who were both scheduled to speak as well, canceled their speeches. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

The much-maligned Dr. Anthony Fauci and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser were caught on video attempting to convince a D.C. resident to get the Covid-19 vaccine, and it didn’t go well. The pair of big government officials coaxed, cajoled, and tried to convince the man that the jabs were for his own good, but he just wasn’t buying it. His arguments against taking the vaccine seemed in ways to stump Fauci and Bowser, which is interesting, considering that they have had more than two years now to get an answer to such basic questions. The resident also implied he believes there’s an ulterior motive to the massive campaign to getting everyone jabbed, noting that officials literally paid people to get the vaccines.

New York Attorney General Letitia James today issued a consumer alert urging New Yorkers to be cautious of potential discriminatory pricing practices at car washes in advance of Pesach. In previous years, there have been reports of car wash businesses in predominantly Orthodox Jewish communities in New York City raising prices by as much as 50 percent for Jewish customers seeking cleaning services close to Passover. In the days leading up to Passover, many Jews clean their homes, cars, and other spaces to remove “chametz” (leavened products). According to reports provided to the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), some companies have advertised “specials” for car washing services related to Passover, but instead, charged higher prices to customers.

But they didn’t understand, they didn’t really listen to us. They just screamed at us.” “They banged the car and then they took traffic signs and rocks that they were throwing at us.

Former Vice President Mike Pence took a grilling from ABC’s Jon Karl on Sunday, during which he was confronted with a recording of Donald Trump defending people who wanted to hang the vice president on January 6th, 2021. Karl rolled a tape of his interview with Trump from 2021, when the ex-president stuck up for Capitol rioters who were calling to lynch Pence. “I mean, he’s effectively justifying, or excusing, the actions of people who were calling for you to be hanged!” Karl said to Pence. “There is no excuse for the violence that took place at the Capitol on January 6th, and I’ll never diminish it as long as I live, but, look…The president’s wrong.
