To be fair, Fang Fang was trying to make @rokhanna less anti-American.
We now are learning that suspected Chinese Spy Fang Fang & her family donated over $4 Million dollars to Swalwell, Ro Khanna, Kamala Harris & Gavin Newsom.
Fang Fang’s Brother is a Senior Advisor for Khanna.

Truth
Why is it that all the people that want to tax billionaires, never want to tax not-for-profits?
If accumulated economic power is the concern, why should we scrutinize $10 billion controlled by an individual differently from $10 billion controlled by a perpetual tax-exempt corporation?
Help me, help you! I’m just a dumb redneck from Louisiana. Educate me.

A beautiful Succot Reading by the wonderful @mijalbitton
Unity is In Our Hands
A short thought before the holiday of Sukkot starts:
The rabbis offer two reasons for the holiday: we sit in sukkot to remember the clouds of glory that sheltered our ancestors in the wilderness, or to remember the actual huts they built there. Either way, the holiday is deeply, deeply relevant to our lives.
There is intimacy with God. One midrashic tradition imagines the sukkah as an embrace, God wrapping His arms around us in the days after the intensity of the High Holidays.
There is gratitude. Sukkot falls at the harvest, the ancient version of the season when the paycheck clears, and precisely then we are commanded to look up and remember where it all comes from.
There is vulnerability. The roof must be flimsy enough to see the stars, a week-long rehearsal of the truth that our real shelter was never the house.
There is simplicity, almost an anti-affluenza medicine: leave the comfortable home behind and discover how joyful it can be to live with less.
And there is being together. One of my favorite teachings of Rabbi Sacks is that Sukkot is the holiday on which we are explicitly commanded to be joyous, and that the Hebrew Bible almost always uses that word for joy in the context of sharing: celebrating with others, with the stranger and the widow folded in. The ushpizin, the mystical guests we welcome each night, make the point in ritual form. A sukkah is not full until it is shared.
All of these matter tremendously. But this year I keep returning to the theme I have usually filed under the holiday’s fluffier offerings: unity.

You might know the teaching: we take four species, the lulav, the etrog, the myrtle and the willow, and bind them together. The midrash reads them as four kinds of Jews, those with learning and those without, those with good deeds and those without, and insists that the mitzvah works only when all four are held in one grip.
(I confess the four species also supply my favorite Jewish street comedy: the Chabad guys holding lulav and etrog in the NYC subway, trying to spot who is Jewish so they can get them to shake it too.)
But unity does not feel fluffy to me this year. It feels urgent.
I have reached the stage of literally dreaming about it. Last week I dreamed I was in Israel during the election, in a noisy room full of politicians and voters, trying to break up their fights and begging them to remember how dangerous this moment is. True story. I woke up with my heart pounding.
I do not think I am the only one. So many of us who love Israel are carrying dread right now. We fear a particular political outcome, but we are also sickened by the division itself, the poison, the sense that we have slid back into fights we told ourselves we had outgrown.
And maybe that is why I keep thinking about those four species.
Sukkot does not ask us to pretend the four species are the same. They are not. They have different qualities, different strengths, different deficiencies. The whole point is that they belong together anyway.
And there is something especially striking about the fact that no cloud descends to hold them together
Unity, the holiday insists, is in our hands
Each of us gets to hold all four.
I want to close with a glimpse of what that work can look like.

Before Yom Kippur, my friend Rabbi Joe Wolfson sent me a picture of thousands of empty chairs on a Tel Aviv beach, waiting for prayer-goers. It moved me. Rabbi Joe does this every year, and it is essential work. He is an Orthodox rabbi in secular Tel Aviv, doubling down on praying together across differences in the very city where Yom Kippur services were disrupted in 2023.
Rabbi Joe does not offer the kind of “unity” that comes from having no boundaries or giving up one’s values. He is an Orthodox rabbi with principled commitments. But he believes we are one people, and that we should pray together.
After Yom Kippur, I was moved to see Yair Lapid share a post about joining Rabbi Joe’s service. He described the scene in Kikar Atarim, where thousands gathered to pray in the open air. He described a yeshiva student swaying in devotion beside a young mother rocking her baby at the same rhythm, and a caregiver behind a boy’s wheelchair, returning the kippah to the child’s head each time it fell, with endless patience
What struck me most was the way Lapid described the people gathered there: they came to do their own cheshbon nefesh [introspection], not anyone else’s. “We came to ask the Holy One to accept us,” he wrote, “and we began by accepting each other.”
Rabbi Joe responded on Facebook with a teaching of his own. Before Neilah, he had spoken about the motif in the tefillot of being God’s children and asking to be treated with a parent’s love. But, he wrote, if we are God’s children, then we are each other’s brothers and sisters. Just as we expect our children to treat each other with love despite their squabbles and disagreements, so too can thousands of people gathered in prayer model for Israel what it means to emphasize what we have in common rather than what separates us.
This week, when we pick up the four species, I hope we think of those chairs facing the sea.
The etrog and the willow share no taste and no scent. They have no power to bind themselves. They are held together, or not at all.
That was never up to heaven.
It has always been up to us, which is the most sobering thing about this holiday, and the most hopeful.
Hag Sukkot Sameah,

Among the earliest exploiters of white guilt? Yasser Arafat and the PLO. Today, it's Hamas.

This is the power of antizionism. The world’s foremost “expert” on famine repeatedly made wildly false predictions and false claims all so as to maintain the public legitimacy of antizionist libel-narratives. That is exactly what systemic antizionism means.
September 24, 2026: Noam Dworman sits down with "the world's leading famine expert" and reads him his old predictions and declarations about famine in Gaza.
Alex de Waal wrote the standard textbook on famine, runs the World Peace Foundation, and helped write starvation crimes into international law. When the media says "famine experts warn," this is who they mean.
In January 2024, he told Owen Jones famine would probably arrive by early February. February came and went. In March 2024, he told CBS it was expected between then and May. Days later, he told Democracy Now that children were dying "likely in thousands already." In April 2024, at Harvard, he called it the most intense famine since records began. In October 2025, Democracy Now brought him back.
Nobody ever asked him about any of prior predictions and declarations. On September 24, 2026, Noam Dworman did.
0:00 Alex de Waal admits to overstating catastrophes to get headlines
0:30 March 25, 2024. De Waal: The Famine Review Committee is "the ultimate arbiter, the High Court"
0:47 September 24, 2026. De Waal admits his own "high court" found no famine
1:11 March 2024: "It's too late to avert" thousands to tens of thousands of deaths
1:22 De Waal recasts it as conditional: "I said, yes, if this trajectory continues"
1:47 Dworman reads him the published wording, which was not conditional. De Waal: "We actually don't know how many have died"
2:14 Dworman to De Waal: You let Feroze Sidhwa tell my audience that 62,000 Gazans died of starvation
3:10 De Waal: We don't know the numbers. Dworman: The Gaza Ministry of Health doesn't claim anything close to your numbers
3:43 Dworman calls out the moving goalposts: "So I never said they were dying." De Waal accuses him of arguing semantics
4:21 Alex de Waal claims that the famine call "made no comment on the mortality"
—
What actually happened:
The IPC's own Famine Review Committee, June 2024: the famine claims were "not plausible," and "the available evidence does not indicate that Famine is currently occurring."

After the October 2025 ceasefire, a UNICEF-led survey found 0.5 percent acute child malnutrition in Gaza, one of the lowest rates in the region.

Full interview: nitter.net/noam_dworman/status/21…
--
In 2024, Alex de Waal was certain enough to tell the world it was already too late.
In 2026, Alex de Waal just isn't certain enough to say how many people died.
Alex de Waal once wrote that you need to overstate catastrophes in order to get attention. He was not joking.

More people need to listen to John 👇
Honored to have my research mentioned by @netanyahu in his address to the UNGA. Israel has in fact implemented more civilian harm mitigation measures (many that no nation has ever even imagined/attemped) than any military in history.
The other facts in his speech were also spot on. Israel has not only implemented extraordinary precautions in urban warfare to prevent civilian harm while Hamas has done everything it can to increase civilian harm, there is no genocide, actually the opposite of genocide in Gaza, Israel provided tons of food, water, medical supplies, facilitated immunizations for the entire populations, field hospitals, built new water lines, electricity, got patients to hospitals outside of Gaza, and much more.

If the Dems win Congress, they'll chalk it up to the party's big shift towards anti-Israel & antisemitic candidates & promises. So these are all-or-nothing midterms for America's Jews, even foolish liberal ones who think they'll be spared or masochistically welcome punishment.

Some blunt 20-second advice from @mikepompeo — who knows the Islamic regime very well from his service as CIA Director and Secretary of State — on the 7-day “plan” Iran just floated to end the war.
The NYT reports the offer: reopen the Strait of Hormuz, revive nuclear talks, unfreeze funds, end the U.S. naval blockade, lift the latest sanctions.
Pompeo’s quick analysis: it’s “not new, it’s probably not a serious proposal.” Iran’s president “is both lying about their intention to have a nuclear weapon” and he is “completely irrelevant to the decision makers sitting back in Tehran continuing to work to undermine Western democracy and terrorize the world.”
The Trump administration should listen. Don’t fall for it.

It’s BS. It makes Healthcare more EXPENSIVE.
We have more Physicians now than we did 30 years ago.
We don’t have a Doctor Shortage. We have a Criminally Mismanaged Healthcare system.
Clear evidence it should be ILLEGAL for anyone but Doctors to own and run a Hospital or a Doctor’s Practice.
The AMA has no interest in fixing Healthcare and helping Physicians and patients.
#Hospital #Congress #CORRUPTION
An important issue that could have real repercussions in healthcare:
A $103,000 visa fee could have a very real impact on whether some communities can access quality care from a doctor.
That’s why the AMA is urging the Administration to exempt physicians from the proposed H-1B fee.
