The Kosher grocery store at the center of today's mass shooting in #JerseyCity was targeted according to police.
The civilian victims of the #JerseyCityShooting were all Orthodox Jews at a Kosher market that doubled as a community center.

The details of this story are just heartbreaking. The police officer who was murdered--a father of 5--was well-known to the community and described as "cherished." The Jewish EMS service attended victims, like they do for bomb victims in Israel.

Before you send me tweets dismissing the murders of Jews at a kosher grocery that doubled as a community center in a small, tight-knit Orthodox ✡Jewish ✡community, maybe at least read the up-to-date pieces I provided for you that were written this evening. Thanks.

Democrats and Republicans keep invoking Ronald Reagan's "Shining City on a Hill" line from his farewell speech. That speech was written by a woman, Pulitzer Prize-winner @Peggynoonannyc.
It remains a beautiful speech.
#ImpeachmentDebate
@Peggynoonannyc Noonan also wrote Reagan's beautiful speech after the Challenger disaster.
@Peggynoonannyc Noonan also wrote that "thousand points of light" speech for George H W Bush. Too bad she didn't use this evocative writing for better presidents. But that Challenger speech was deeply moving and impactful the night of the disaster.

In 2016 Democrats had a strong nominee with 40 years of pubic service.
Yet the disinformation campaign against @HillaryClinton was so intense and the lies so egregious that 27% of Democrats believed #Pizzagate--that HRC ran a child sex trafficking ring out of a basement.
Two women senators who rank in the top ten most progressive have been forced out of the race because of money and bad press and a relentless double standard that impacts women and POC but never touches white men no matter how often they fail.
Hillary was told to go knit--and still is. But Bernie, who lost to her in a landslide and nearly died on Oct 1 is still running as is Biden who has never gotten past single digits in his previous runs.

But Warren proposed a wealth tax AND made money as an attorney and that has garnered more than 50 articles in the past two weeks.
It was also revealed lobbyists vetted articles on her healthcare plan. But no one can complain that Bloomberg and Steyer are "socialists," right?
Health Industry Lobbyists Are Writing Lawmakers Op-Eds Against Medicare for All gq.com/story/lobbyist…

#Antisemitic Incident !!!

#Belgium #Aalst

The #Belgian city of #Aalst returns the #award of its #carnival as a #Worldheritage Site.
Background are allegations of #racism and #antisemitism.
Mayor Christoph D'Haese said that one has had enough of the "grotesque #complaints" and let the #carnival be #deleted from the list. He thus came before a decision of @UNESCO before.
he had already considered removing the #Aalst #Carnival from World Heritage at the upcoming mid-month meeting.
The controversy has been going on since #spring. At that time D'Haese defended a float of the procession,

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

Following are the 4 largest gatherings against Israel over the last few years, with tens of thousands of Anti-Zionist #Orthodox #Jews.

1) At the Barclays Stadium last year 06.11.2017:
Rabbi Shappiro: "The Jewish People Have No State!"
Listen:
Rabbi: "The State of Israel has as much to do with Judaism or Jewish Identity as China or Korea does...! They should stop calling themselves a Jewish State because that's a lie! They can call themselves, maybe Herzlstan...!"
-Thousands of Jews applauding
2) On June 9, 2013, tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews assembled on the streets of NY to protest against the existence of the State of Israel, and to condemn it's current evil decree to forcibly draft yeshiva students to their Army:

Rabbi Stauber:
