🚨 EXCLUSIVE. MUST WATCH. MUST READ. My newest dispatch @JewishJournal @DPearlProject will blow your mind. It did mine. And reporting it breaks my heart but I persevere because this story is every city’s story of corruption, greed and power.

I came to Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday, and in 72 hours, I figured it out: The story in Springfield is not about cats or dogs. It's about mules and an alleged human trafficking operation, by a man called "King George," shuttling Haitian workers to Ohio in unmarked white Chevy and Ford vans since 2019.

The FBI and Ohio Attorney General @DaveYostOH are investigating whistleblower complaints filed against George Ten, or
"King George," the man behind the surge of Haitian migrant workers to Ohio and purchase of 43 homes, mostly decrepit, where he had the workers pay him rent. All in the shadow of the new @johnlegend theater on S. Limestone Street.

Read my new column and this thread to see the story come to life:

/feds-and-state-ag-investigate-an-alleged-human-trafficking-empire-run-in-springfield-ohio/

It’s a story on the age-old themes of power, greed and corruption. Read 🧵 how the king lives compared to the migrants.

Thank you @LailaMickelwait @1in5advocacy @orlipeter for your intellect and advocacy for the disenfranchised.

FYI @JonHusted @jcarrsmyth @ChuckCallesto @mcuban @LizMacDonaldFOX @meiselasb @maddowjewishjournal.com/cammentary/opi… I reached Miguel Ten, dad of "King George" Ten, kingpin of the alleged trafficking. He gave First Diversity to his son to run and told me: "I raised my son as a Christian, and maybe he could do stuff that people don’t like, but that he would never do.”

🚨@FairfaxTimes. @FCPSNews suspended a @LangleyHS student who drew a swastika flag as part of anti-Israel protests AND get this: ALSO SUSPENDED an Asian American teen who allegedly blew the whistle on the anti-Jew hate. Jewish parents plan protest Friday.
fairfaxtimes.com/articles/fairf… EXCLUSIVE at @FairfaxTimes.

The controversy over swastikas at one of America’s top high schools, just down the road from CIA headquarters, brings the contentious global battle over Israel and Palestine from college campuses and the streets into America’s K-12 school system. The Fairfax County walkouts have been led by Muslim Students Association. which are virulently anti-Israel and many allege anti-Jew.

The Langley High School march included the chant: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," which @ADL says is anti-Jew hate calling for the destruction of Jews in the state of Israel, along with the elimination of Israel.

Parents say this latest controversy reveals another failure by @fcpsnews @FCPSSupt Michelle Reid and her board of 12 members, including @AbrarOmeish, who refused to vote for a resolution expressing sympathy for the victims of the Hamas terror attack.

Local Jewish community members and their allies plan a rally tomorrow -- Friday, Nov. 17, at 11 a.m. -- at Fairfax County Public Schools’ Gatehouse headquarters, which they have renamed “Hatehouse,” to protest the retaliation against the Asian American teen and the lack of school district action on anti-Jew hate.

Here is the photo of the @langleyhs teen who drew the swastika flag and his friend who gave it a thumbs up. The two boys were suspended for three days.

@StopAntisemites posted the photo on Saturday, leading to a witch hunt that ended with a third boy -- an Asian American teen and ally of Jewish kids at Langley -- ALSO GETTING SUSPENDED for three days.

Parents are outraged. It's part of a growing anti-Jew hate in the local schools.

At nearby Woodson High School, Jewish senior, Yakov Schwartz, 18, led a group of half a dozen students, carrying two small Israeli flags, to the football field, where about 250 students organized by the Muslim Students Association rallied against Israel. At one point, students tried to grab his flag, and a mass of anti-Israel students rushed the field to hover menacingly over the Jewish students.

Schwartz said the decision by the Langley administrators to punish the alleged whistleblower follows a pattern and practice of retaliation school district officials mete out against Jewish students and their allies when they raise issues about anti-semitism.

“Fairfax County Public Schools doesn’t truly care about making schools safe for every student,” he said.

“The student who drew the swastika flag not only threatened Jewish students but he also defaced the flag of his country. It’s a disgrace to our flag, our country, and its people,” said Schwartz, who now carries extra Jewish prayer caps, or kippahs, in his backpack to give to friends to wear as an expression of support for Jewish students, especially younger ones still finding their way at the school.

@JasonMiyaresVA @GlennYoungkin @WinsomeSears have made fighting anti-Jew hate a priority in his campaign. Will they be able to protect this Asian American teen, interrogated by school administrators and his phone searched for evidence to use against him -- all without his parents present, according to people familiar with the situation.

🧵 Remember this day. Nov. 4, 2023. 5:41 PM. The Woke Army is at the White House. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” they bellowed in the war chant that means only one thing: the annihilation of Jews in the state of Israel.

I stood with my back pinned against the black steel fence between the crowd on Pennsylvania Avenue and the White House, as the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas crowd chanted, “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!” Allah is great.

They shouted the shahada, the Muslim proclamation of faith, too. The call to prayer for the maghrib sunset prayer broke through the chants. And the crowd held signs from the Party for Socialism and Liberation. They shouted for the intifada. And trashed the White House lawn with water bottles and posters thrown over the fence. They painted the pillars to the security gates with red paint of “blood” hand prints.

There is a bloodlust for Israel and Jews. It made my eyes widen, my stomach sick and my heart pulse. It’s staged political theater, socialists bussed in from New York and Muslims ascending from mosques.

We Muslim reformers and ex-Muslims @DrZuhdiJasser @Ayaan @YasMohammedxx @Raheelraza @TheMuslimReform @CLARITyCoaltion tried a 1,000 times to warn the Democratic Party and liberals they had forged an unholy alliance with Islamists but they did it. Now the crowd has a bloodlust for “Genocide Joe” Biden. I’ll put the snapshots from the day here.

If you had any naïveté that Jews or Israels could negotiate with the revolutionaries in the red-green alliance of leftists and Islamists, I can tell you: no way. The Biden administration will have to surrender Israel and Jews to the Woke Army. That’s the only deal they will accept. There is no negotiation. There was not a single word for the Jews slaughtered by Hamas.

I know this after today: the Hamas terrorist murders did not result in shame; it stoked a blood lust among anti-Israel groups from the Socialists to the Islamists to destroy Israel. There is no middle ground with them.
I wear a uniform covering these anti-Jew, anti-Israel protests: my newspaper print jacket over my @IDF hoodie purchased in the West Bank at a Palestinian second-hand store, my book, #WokeArmy—and my war paint: black eyeliner to protect me from the evil eye.

The Woke Army? They went with red paint to ruin the pillars to the White House security gate to symbolize “blood” on the hands of Biden, signs and water bottles they trashed on the White House lawns, stickers they put on the metal fence “F*ck Fascists Nazi Netanyahu + Genocide Joe”— all for taxpayers to clean up.

🚨 🧵 @OCRegister, I argue: if @GavinNewsom signs a xenophobic anti-Hindu bill he “risks alienating millions of Indian Americans…and worse, endorsing an insidious slander,” based on a hoax at Cisco. Reply politely to urge him to veto the anti-Hindu bill. ocregister.com/2023/09/11/gov… 2/🚨 Breaking: Just right after publication of my @OCRegister op-ed, I received this comment about California Senate Bill 403 from a spokesperson for Gov. @GavinNewsom: “We don’t typically comment on pending legislation. As with all measures that reach the Governor's desk, the bill will be evaluated on its merits.”

🎯 My point exactly. SB403 is problematic—“on its merits”

🎯 @CalChamber @SVCCofficial should be worried about this bill “on its merits” because the bill makes it open season for anybody to sue others for alleged discrimination based on the very vague concept of “inherited social status.”

🎯 The @AAHOA Asian American Hotel Owners Association (with many Indian American members) has raised alarm bells. Democratic State @SenJoshBecker has asked serious questions about the overreach.

🎯 Here is a link to SB403:

🎯 The Governor’s office said the public can “submit comment re a bill by calling the office at
916-445-2841 or using the online webform (select “an active bill" in the dropdown menu after topics and then select the bill number in the next dropdown menu.) The comments are then routed to our legislative unit.”

Go to:

🎯 @GavinNewsomPres set the standard: and SB403 fails—based “on its merits.”

🚨 @FairfaxTimes. @FFXParentsAssoc sends missive to leaders for saying @nationalmerit Commended Student awards “don’t matter," writing: "You should hang your heads in shame." @JennInVirginia called America's top 3% of students "4th place finishers."
READ: fairfaxtimes.com/fairfax-county… Image Taking a cue from these leaders, local activists disparaged parents and children raising concern with the withholding of the awards, saying they were chasing a “fake news story” with “Faux outrage” and an “absurd accusation of bias” by @fcpsnews.

🚨NEW @FairfaxTimes: Principals at not 1, not 3, but 7 @fcpsnews high schools withheld @nationalmerit awards. It's a civil rights disaster blamed on "staffing."
My estimates:
TJ ~70% of kids hurt = students of color
Now ~80% of kids hurt = students of color 🤯
@JasonMiyaresVA EXCLUSIVE @FairfaxTimes: Faith Alejandro, chair of the Diversity + Inclusion Committee @SandsAnderson, sent parents a letter. She wrote: "We will also ask your permission to record the conversation." A mom tells me she will only talk to @JasonMiyaresVA.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE @FairfaxTimes. It gets worse. As @TJAnnB hid National Merit awards, @fcpsnews signed a 9-month no-bid contract to pay "Performance Fact Inc." $455,000 for “equity” work with the goal: “equal outcomes for every student, without exception.”

🧵 So you understand the racism TJ parents face: @CindyDG17 is an American-born mom and former TJ PTSA president who had the privilege of even KNOWING what National Merit means. TJ parents are mostly immigrants + never heard of National Merit. She uses her privilege to shut us up She and her husband Bob Gersony (who was nice enough to me) have so navigated the highest levels of the US elite that author Robert D. Kaplan wrote A BOOK about her husband’s “epic life.” But she wants to keep our immigrant families in our place as she defends a racist principal.
