Incoming House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declined to say that he wants President Joe Biden to run for a second term in 2024, though he did express his support for the president. “How about President Biden? We saw this major move by him and his allies in the DNC this week to rejigger the primary calendar, putting South Carolina first. Of course, South Carolina, many would argue, made Joe Biden president back in 2020. Do you expect him to run? Do you want him to run?” ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos asked Jeffries. “I certainly expect him to run. And I absolutely look forward to strongly supporting him,” Jeffries responded.

A frum jeweler was ambushed by a group of armed crooks in Pompano Beach, Florida, with the four criminals fleeing in a vehicle with an undisclosed amount of valuables. One of the assailants appeared to be armed with a knife and threatened to stab the Jewish victim, while another grabbed the jeweler’s backpack and a third opened his car trunk and stole his suitcase. Once they got their loot, the three attackers jumped back into the vehicle they arrived in – a four-door gray sedan with an out-of-state license plate – and sped off with a fourth accomplice at the wheel. Police have not yet identified the thieves and are asking for the public’s help. If you have any information that could lead to the arrest of the villains, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.

Incoming Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday that Donald Trump was “wrong” for meeting with antisemites at his Mar-a-Lago estate and will not endorse his former friend for president in 2024. “You have a unique relationship with former President Trump,” NBC’s Chuck Todd said to Netanyahu. “He has consistently flirted with some really fringe characters that spout this antisemitic behavior, that preach white nationalism, things like that, and doesn’t denounce it. He has yet to denounce Kanye West at all, has yet to denounce being with the white supremacist days ago. Why do you think he has this difficulty, do you think?” “I don’t know,” Netanyahu replied. “First, President Trump does great things for Jerusalem.

President Joe Biden seemed to cast doubt on his plans to run for a second term in the White House while speaking at Tribal Nations Summit in Washington. As Biden finished his speech, someone in the crowd yelled out, “Four more years!” But the president waved off the comment, saying, “I don’t know about that. Thanks — thank you.” His comment comes less than a month after the midterms in which his party did much better than expected, but also in which exit polls found that 66% of voters don’t want him to run for another term.

Senate Minority Mitch McConnell made his feelings about Donald Trump’s meeting with antisemites Kanye West and Nick Fuentes clear, saying “there is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy.” “Anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view — in my judgment — are highly unlikely to ever be elected President of the United States,” he added, making reference to Trump without mentioning him by name. Trump responded by unleashing one of his signature attacks against McConnell. “Mitch is a loser for our nation and for the Republican Party who would not have been re-elected in Kentucky without my endorsement, which he begged me for because he was going down,” Trump told Fox News Digital.

Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai on Tuesday spoke with the two police officers who neutralized the terrorist that carried out the ramming attack in Binyamin on Tuesday morning that seriously injured an IDF soldier. The officers, who were on the road, had noticed the terrorist’s car even before they heard about the attack. “We were driving behind a vehicle driving wildly and meanwhile we were hearing reports about the attack. We realized it was the terrorist’s car.” During the chase, one of the police officers leaned out of the police car and fired at the terrorist’s car, causing the terrorist to crash into a safety rail. “We got out of the car and broke the window of the terrorist’s car to make sure that he was indeed neutralized and didn’t pose any danger,” he said.

Rapper and Trump friend Kanye West stormed out of an interview with a podcaster after the latter gave a tepid push against West’s non-stop antisemitism. West, who along with white supremacist Nick Fuentes and far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos was wined and dined by Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week, went on Tim Pool’s podcast. However, the podcast was cut short barely 20 minutes in after Pool gave light pushback to the rapper’s antisemitism. “I think they’ve been extremely unfair to you,” Pool told West, referring to the national media. “Who is they, though? We can’t say who they is,” West responded. “The corporate press,” Pool said. “I don’t use the word – as the way I guess you guys…” “It is them, though, isn’t it” chimed in Fuentes.
