Jewish Cemetery In Rochester Vandalized: Gothamist

As for President Trump, he and his advisors spent the last couple of days cautioning everyone not to jump to conclusions and to focus on what’s important. Trump told a meeting of state attorneys general that bomb threats against JCCs nationwide might have been done in order to “make others look bad,” a statement which baffled the Pennsylvania state attorney general. Trump advisor Anthony Scaramucci tweeted a reminder that some Democratic activists engaged in “bird dogging” during the 2016 election, a tactic that’s generally understood to mean aggressive questioning of elected officials, as proof that…maybe liberals are behind this? Typical of a coward who’s “just raising questions,” Scaramucci later tweeted that he just didn’t want anyone to overreact and of course he Loves The Jews.

Bomb threats to Jewish Community Centers | FlowingData And Mr. Trump thinks all this is to make him look bad, which would mean that it’s not haters of Jews but haters of Trump? Pretty delusional, I’d say

Ken Schwencke and Al Shaw from ProPublica with a set of straightforward maps that show bomb threats to Jewish community centers and organizations: Since Jan. 1, at least 89 locations of Jewish organizations in the United States — including schools, Jewish Community Centers, and offices of the Anti-Defamation League — have received a total of 114 bomb threats. The majority have come in five of what the JCC Association of North America calls “waves” — groups of robocalls coming on a single day. So far, none of the threats have been carried out.

Trump Condemns Attacks On Jews – After Earlier Suggesting They Are Meant To Make Him Look Bad | Southern Poverty Law Center ROTFLMAO – People are threatening Jews and defacing cemeteries to make Trump look bad??? A new definition of spin, BS and ItsAllAboutMe!

the president believes the threatened attacks on Jewish communities around the United States are not the product of anti-Semitic terrorism, but instead are part of a campaign by his political enemies to make him look bad.On Tuesday morning, he reportedly told a gathering of state attorneys general that “sometimes it’s the reverse” when asked about such incidents as the toppling of nearly a hundred headstones in a Philadelphia Jewish cemetery.Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro told reporters: “He just said, ‘Sometimes it’s the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad,’ and he used the word ‘reverse’ I would say two to three times in his comments,” Shapiro said. “He did correctly say at the top that it was reprehensible.”

Richmond District Indian, Eritrean Restaurants Shot At During Dinner: SFist Happy David Duke, Trumpster?

Diners and staff at two Richmond District restaurants a half a mile apart were terrified but uninjured by gunfire in the same five minute span on Sunday night, incidents that an SFPD spokesperson called “very similar” in speaking to the Chronicle.“People heard a loud pop,” said officer Giselle Talkoff. “A window shattered. No one saw any suspects.” The restaurants appear to be Star India on the 3700 block of Geary Boulevard, fired into at 7:21 p.m., and Assab Eritrean on the 2800 block of the same street at 7:26 p.m.“Through the course of the investigation, they’ll try to determine whether this was a specific, targeted [crime] or see if it was something random,” Talkoff added. No arrests have yet been made as investigators scour the neighborhood for leads like surveillance footage and witnesses.

This Interview With Shirtless Alex Jones Will Ruin Your Day: Gothamist “Putin wannabe pose – next Trump on a horse and no shirt – my eyes, my eyes! My brain is melting!”

Alex Jones—a red-faced screaming sack of flesh who thinks the Obama administration faked the Sandy Hook massacre so they could take away Americans’ guns and now has the ear of the President of the United States—was the subject of a sprawling profile in German news magazine Der Spiegel today. At some point, the reporter had lunch with Jones, who was dressed like this:

AG Sessions: Justice Dept. to “pull back” on suing police depts. over violating civil rights of minorities | 3CHICSPOLITICO “Sick racist now in charge of Department of Justice!”

“We need, so far as we can, to help police departments get better, not diminish their effectiveness. And I’m afraid we’ve done some of that,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions.“So we’re going to try to pull back on this,” he told a meeting of the nation’s state attorneys general in Washington.Sessions said such a move would not be “wrong or insensitive to civil rights or human rights.” Instead, he said people in poor and minority communities must feel free from the threat of violent crime, which will require more effective policing with help from the federal government.While crime rates are half of what they were a few decades ago, recent increases in violent crimes do not appear to be “an aberration, a one-time blip. I’m afraid it represents the beginning of a trend.”Sessions said he will encourage federal prosecutors to bring charges when crimes are committed using guns. Referring local drug violations that involve the use of a firearm, for example, to federal court can result is often a stiffer sentence than would be imposed by state courts.“We need to return to the ideas that got us here, the ideas that reduce crime and stay on it. Maybe we got a bit overconfident when we’ve seen the crime rate decline so steadily for so long,” he said.Under the Obama Administration, the Justice Department opened 25 investigations into police departments and sheriff’s offices and was enforcing 19 agreements at the end of 2016, resolving civil rights lawsuits filed against police departments in Ferguson, Missouri; Baltimore, New Orleans, Cleveland and 15 other cities.

U.S. detains and nearly deports French Holocaust historian – The Washington Post “When you really don’t know what you are doing but trying to please the boss – crap like this is inevitable!”

It remains unclear what about Rousso was identified as suspect by immigration authorities.Egypt — from which Rousso and his family, as Jews, were exiled in 1956, after a slew of anti-Semitic measures imposed by the administration of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz — was not among the seven nations in the travel ban, which had been suspended by the time he arrived in the United States.[Who is affected by the travel ban?]Furthermore, France is a beneficiary of the U.S. visa waiver program, which permits French citizens to enter the United States without a visa. All that is required is an online ESTA application before departure.For Marouf, Rousso’s ordeal was indicative of a strict new U.S. border control regime: “It seems like there’s much more rigidity and rigor in enforcing these immigration requirements and technicalities of every visa,” she told the Eagle.

Leading German politician calls AfD′s Höcke a ′Nazi′ | News | DW.COM | 25.02.2017 AfD are yuuge Trump fans.

“For me, Björn Höcke is a Nazi,” Oppermann said at Saturday’s meeting of the SPD’s state delegates in Thuringia. “Someone who wants to resuscitate the ethnic ideology of the National Socialists has no place in a democratic society.”Oppermann said Germany could no longer tolerate discrimination based on gender, religion, national origin or heritage. “Someone who does not observe this ground rule of democracy has no business in the Bundestag,” he said.’A 180-degree reversal'”These stupid politics of coming to grips with the past cripple us,” Höcke told the AfD’s youth wing in January. “We need nothing other than a 180-degree reversal on the politics of remembrance.” Referring to Berlin’s Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, he added: “We Germans, that is to say, our people, are the only people in the world who have planted a monument of shame in the heart of their capital.”
