There is nothing at all in this NorthJersey.com report, of course, about the relentless “Palestinian” jihad, or the genocidal incitement of “Palestinian” children, or the practice of passing out sweets whenever Israeli civilians are killed, or any other hint that the “Palestinians” are anything but a noble, oppressed people. The involvement of hard-Left anti-Semite Linda Sarsour is not even mentioned, but she was prominently involved enough to be among a handful of people photographed on a lift under the new street sign. Linda Sarsour is a rabidly antisemitic Islamic supremacist who has said that “nothing is creepier than Zionism” and has equated it with “racism.” She is an enthusiastic supporter of the “Palestinian” jihad against Israel and has even claimed that feminists cannot and must not support Israel.
Do Paterson officials care about her history of hateful, incendiary, and anti-Semitic statements? Almost certainly not. Would they care if they did? Almost certainly not.
“Palestine Way: Paterson celebrates street renaming in tribute to community,” by Hannan Adely and Rebecca King, NorthJersey.com, May 15, 2022:
PATERSON — The South Paterson neighborhood is home to stores, restaurants and offices with Palestinian flags and images of Jerusalem hanging on walls. Everywhere, signs of the Palestinian homeland are emblazoned on property names, from Jerusalem Pharmacy to Nablus Sweets to Palestine Hair Salon.
Now, visitors to the area will also find street signs. On Sunday, city officials celebrated the renaming of a five-block section of Main Street, from Gould Avenue to Buffalo Avenue, to Palestine Way.
“Many Palestinians call Paterson home, and this is the day we get to celebrate it,” said Councilman Alaa “Al” Abdelaziz.
The City Council voted unanimously in April for the street renaming to honor the city’s large Palestinian community and its contributions to civic life and business. A bustling street festival, organized by the Palestinian American Community Center, was held along Main Street to celebrate the occasion.
Vendors set up booths selling roasted corn, dresses, bags and more. T-shirts emblazoned with “Palestine Way” were available. Red, white, black and green Palestinian flags were passed out to attendees and draped from buildings and tents.
“I wish we had something like this every year,” said Lina Ramadan, who was visiting from Jordan and hadn’t been to Paterson in 22 years. She used to live in Union City.
“I feel like I’m in my country,” she said. “Everyone is so happy. It’s very special.”…
Chants of “Free Palestine” and “Palestine Way” accompanied the unveiling of the street sign….
Buffalo shooter exposed: Not a “right-wing white nationalist” but rather a left-wing activist seeking “justice for Ukraine”

(Natural News) The problem with trying to put people into certain categories immediately following horrific incidents is that rushes to judgment are frequently wrong.
But then, that’s what the deep state always does when it is trying to push a false narrative to advance its political and social agendas.
The most recent case in point: The young man accused of being a “right-wing white nationalist” who shot and killed mostly black patrons at a supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y. over the weekend.
The suspect now in custody, Payton Gendron, 18, cannot be put into the category of ‘right wing’ at all, but more in the category of leaning left. That said, he is more of a hybrid individual than anything else; he has elements of both left- and right-leaning ideological beliefs. But again, if one category dominates, it’s the left.
“The published manifesto shows support for the same symbols used by the Nazi Azov Battalion in Ukraine. The shooter also expressed hatred for Americans opposed to US military involvement in the Ukraine conflict in his manifesto,” Newspunch reported following the exposure of the document. “In other words, Payton Gendron supports the far-left globalist agenda in Ukraine and sympathizes with the neo-Nazi groups Russia is trying to fight.”
In addition, as some have pointed out online, the shooter hates Fox News, which doesn’t at all establish him as some ‘right-wing ideologue.’

Conservative commentator Mike Cernovich added, “The manifesto of the terrorist who killed people today contains the following: – He did a chart of Jewish people and
included me under ‘troll Jew.’ – Rejection of Christianity. – An admission that he is … ‘authoritarian left-wing.’ – Hybrid Nazi and ‘green nationalism.'”

Now, there is no question that he picked his target — a business frequented mostly by blacks in a mostly-black neighborhood, which, on the surface, makes him appear to be a massive white nationalist bigot. But digging further into his manifesto, he is far from being that easily defined.
“When I was 12 I was deep into communist ideology, talk to anyone from my old high school and ask about me and you will hear that. From age 15 to 18 however, I consistently moved farther to the right. On the political compass, I fall in the mild-moderate authoritarian left category, and I would prefer to be called a populist,” he wrote in his manifest when discussing his political views.
As for those he supports, he noted: “I support many of those that take a stand against ethnic and cultural genocide. Brenton Tarrant, Patrick Crusius, John Earnest, Robert Bowers, Phillip Manshaus, Luca Traini, Anders Breivik, Dylann Roof, Anton Lundin Pettersson, Darren Osbourne, etc. I have never had any connections with other confirmed partisans though.”
When discussing whether he’ll live to see prison: “Yes, I do wish to see how the world plays out after all. If I become old in the same prison. I would only assume that we have passed the point of no return and will die out and that I have failed. If we do
rise up against the replacers, I expect that I will be let out and honored amongst my people.”
So clearly, there are racist elements here, but if he were serious about “the replacers,” wouldn’t he have attacked a different minority group, since blacks are not coming to the country in the same numbers as Hispanics?
Either way, he is evil and frankly, he should not live long enough to die in prison. He should die by lethal injection before he turns 20.

Senate Advances $40 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine & other liberal programs
BY VERONIKA KYRYLENKO
SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/senate-advances-40b-package-to-aid-ukraine/;
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
The United States got one step closer to sending more than $40 billion — or roughly one percent of the entire U.S. federal budget — to the Zelensky regime in Ukraine when the U.S. Senate supported a motion to initiate debate on a bill formally known as the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriation Act 2022.
The motion got 81 votes, and since the legislation is proceeding under standard Senate rules, at least 60 votes were needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. Thirty-seven Republicans voted with Democrats, eight abstained, and 11 Senators opposed the funding.
The senators who voted against the package were Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Mike Crapo (R-Id.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wy.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.).
The 11 senators criticized the Biden administration’s wasteful spending at a time when the American economy is in shambles and Americans are struggling to make ends meet.
“Spending $40 billion on Ukraine aid — more than three times what all of Europe has spent combined — is not in America’s interests. It neglects priorities at home (the border), allows Europe to freeload, short changes critical interests abroad, and comes w/ no meaningful oversight,” tweeted Senator Hawley.
Last week, the package of military and humanitarian assistance was held up by Senator Paul, who argued that “we cannot save Ukraine by dooming the U.S. economy.”
Reminding the public that his “oath of office is to the U.S. Constitution, not to any foreign nation,” Paul contended that the United States doesn’t always need to be “the policeman that saves the world, particularly when it is on borrowed money.”
However, instead of rejecting the bill in its entirety, the senator proposed amending it to allow for a special inspector general to oversee how the money is spent.
While Paul insisted on the provision written into the legislation itself, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made a rare joint offer to allow an amendment vote on the language Paul sought.
During the trip, McConnell seemingly downplayed the opposition among his own party to the massive “aid package” to Ukraine. He said, for example, that it had “broad bipartisan support,” including from “an overwhelming majority of Republicans.” McConnell portrayed those opposing the bill as “isolationists” who wouldn’t affect the final decision.
The U.S. House voted 368-57 last Tuesday to approve the measure. All Democrats and most Republicans backed it, with 75 Republicans voting “no.”
One may wonder where all the money will go to. According to the House Appropriations Committee summary of the bill, the spending bill includes provisions that aim to cover the cost of the war in Ukraine but also support “friendly” European nations and cover the expenses of U.S. federal bodies involved in supporting Ukraine.
Ukraine and Europe
- $6 billion for the so-called Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which allows the Department of Defense to purchase weapons and other military services for Ukraine;
- $8.8 billion for the Economic Support Fund to respond to emerging needs in Ukraine
- $1 billion to help settle Ukraine’s refugees in the U.S. and Europe
- $5 billion to address food shortages around the world caused by the war;
- $3.9 billion for the mission and intelligence support of European Command Operations. The bill also increases the cap on assistance that can be provided to friendly foreign nations from $450 million to $950 million;
- $500 million to support Ukraine’s economic and energy needs through the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The bill includes $11 billion to provide equipment to Ukraine and other regional allies if needed.
The United States (some overlap with above items)
- $13.926 billion for numerous missions of the Department of State, including, among others, $4 billion for the Foreign Military Financing Program to “provide additional support for Ukraine and countries affected by the situation in Ukraine” and $8.766 billion for the Economic Support Fund to “respond to emergent needs in Ukraine, provide needed budget support to assist with Ukraine’s continuity of government”;
- $9.06 billion to replenish U.S. equipment stocks already sent to Ukraine;
- $4.365 billion for the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID), the vast majority of which would be used “to provide emergency food assistance to people around the world suffering from hunger as a result of the conflict in Ukraine” and other humanitarian needs;
- $600 million for the Defense Production Act;
- $67 million for the Department of Justice to seize, retain, and sell forfeited property from Russian oligarchs (e.g., yachts);
- $52 million for the Department of Treasury to trace Russian financial activity related to the war;
- $54 million for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide medical support, screening, and related public health activities for arrivals and refugees from Ukraine.
The new legislation, set to be voted upon on Wednesday, would bring American support of Ukraine to nearly $54 billion, including the $13.6 billion in support Congress enacted in March, according to a January report by the Congressional Research Service cited by USNews.com. This is roughly $6 billion more than the U.S. spent on all foreign and military aid in 2019.
Back in April, President Biden asked Congress to approve $33 billion in funding to aid Ukraine. The U.S. House has increased the funding by $7 billion.
Biden Admin Includes Crack, Meth Pipes in Tax-funded “Safe” Smoking Kits
BY VERONIKA KYRYLENKO
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
Contrary to the Biden administration’s repeated denials, it appears that it is actually financing “safe” pipes for drug addicts.
According to an investigative report posted last week by the Washington Free Beacon,
The findings are the result of Washington Free Beacon visits to five harm-reduction organizations and calls to over two dozen more. In fact, every organization we visited — facilities in Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Richmond, Va. — included crack pipes in the kits.
The outlet posted a picture of the contents of the “safe smoking kits” that are available thanks to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grant program, which began in May.
“The kits became the subject of national attention in the wake of a Free Beacon report in February indicating that a $30 million harm-reduction program was set to fund the distribution of free crack pipes in ‘safe-smoking kits’,” the outlet reminded.
As reported by The New American, the grant includes awards of $400,000 for 25 municipal applicants tasked with providing residents with “harm reduction” supplies related to drug use and will run for three years. The funding is provided through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
The goal of the program is to advance “racial equity” and provide “support” for “underserved communities” by reducing the rate of drug overdoses and related health issues such as STDs and other infectious diseases.
“Safe smoking kits/supplies” were also on the list of the HHS program, and the unnamed HHS representative told the Free Beacon that those would include pipes that could be used to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and “any illicit substance.”
Faced with the uproar, top administration officials vehemently denied that drug paraphernalia would be included in the kit.
Then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki denied that the administration would soon begin distributing crack pipes. She called the Free Beacon’s report “inaccurate,” and stated, “[The pipes] were never a part of the kit.” Psaki added that included in the “safe smoking kits” were “alcohol swabs, lip balms, and other materials to promote hygiene and reduce transmission of diseases like HIV and hepatitis.” The program, Psaki said, was designed to address the opioid crisis that was “killing millions of Americans.”
HHS spokeswoman Sarah Lovenheim chimed in and clarified that the department “is not distributing crack pipes,” adding that the program will adhere to “state and local laws.”
Mainstream media “fact-checkers,” such as USA Today, typically quoted official statements to support the claim that crack pipes would not be included in the kits.
The Free Beacon visited non-profit organizations in major cities to see what they were offering to drug addicts and found that the “safe” drug pipes, were, in fact, offered to anyone who’d ask for them.
For example, in Washington, D.C., “just about a mile from the U.S. Capitol and within blocks of two elementary schools,” a harm-reduction center had pipes for crack and meth “readily available.” No ID was required to get the supplies. The center, which had received $3.1 million from the HHS, did not confirm whether it participated in that specific HHS program.
At one such facility run by the Boston Public Health Commission, and visited by the Beacon reporters, the staff asked for their initials, dates of birth, housing situation, and HIV status before offering “an array of drug equipment,” such as crack pipes and various syringes for drug injections. The rule is to get a single pipe and a single syringe to an addict once a day. The report noted that it was unclear if the supplies were provided thanks to the HHS grant.
A harm-reduction center in Richmond, Virginia, could also offer only a pipe for smoking crack.
“To make up for the shortcoming, the employees added a meth pipe along with two ‘snorting kits,’ which include straws, a plastic razor blade to break up drugs, short plastic straws, a small spoon, and a bedazzled playing card to snort drugs off of,” said Free Beacon.
Reporters were offered “a long menu of drug paraphernalia available free of charge” in New York, where they were asked for their initiatives, DOBs, and ZIP codes.
On the “menu” was a “booty bump” kit for rectal ingestion of narcotics and smoking kits that included two pipes — one for crack and one for meth. According to the report, “The center advertises that its pipes are made of Pyrex, a stronger tempered glass designed for high heat.”
In Baltimore, the reporters were given “two smoking kits containing glass crack pipes as well as Chore Boy copper mesh, a cleaning product used to hold the crack rock at the end of the pipe,” as well as instructions on how to properly use it all. While IDs were not required, the reporters were asked to provide their initials, DOBs, and ZIP codes.
Commenting on the new report, the White House called it a “conspiracy theory,” and insisted that no federal money is spent on smoking pipes.
As reported by The New American, following the original Free Beacon report, Senate Republicans introduced the Cutting off Rampant Access to Crack Kits (CRACK) Act, which would prohibit federal funding and distribution of drug paraphernalia.
College Student Expelled for Refusing COVID Booster After Previous Severe Reactions
BY CAROLYN HENDLER, JD
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
A student at Union College was unenrolled and forced to leave the campus in upstate New York after she refused to take a COVID-19 booster shot. The pre-med biology and Spanish language student suffered severe adverse reactions after receiving the first series of Pfizer/BioNTech COVID shots in the fall.1
Sophomore Ellie Puentes is a first-generation student who attended Union College on an academic scholarship. Puentes received the first set of COVID vaccines when the college required the shots in order to attend school. Immediately afterward, Puentes suffered from sharp adnominal pain landing her in a hospital emergency room for hours. She still suffers from constant nausea, vomiting, chest pains, and shortness of breath.2
Puentes said:
Just the other day I wake up randomly just puking and I don’t know what the cause of that is, and then on top of that, I have shortness of breath. I can’t work out like I used to. I’m getting chest pains where this never happened prior to the vaccine. And I don’t know what’s going on! “The puking happens more often than I would say the diarrhea and the shortness of breath. … I get these sharp pains in my chest and even my immune system, I believe, has just gone down. I’ve been more sick than I’ve ever been.3
College Rejects Medical Exemption to COVID Booster
When the college recently announced that boosters would be mandatory, Puentes e-mailed the school explaining her situation and the severe adverse reactions she had to the first series of COVID shots and asked to speak to the administrative staff in person about this issue. That request was denied, and Puentes was expelled from school and ordered to leave campus via e-mail. [4] The school refused a letter from Puentes's long-time doctor who stated the COVID vaccine booster shot was “ill-advised”5 as well as the paperwork she received from the hospital after her visit post-COVID vaccination.6
The letter Puentes’ doctor sent to the college read in part…
Ms. Puentes is a 20-year-old who has had severe, prolonged symptoms since receiving her COVID vaccines…She missed one week of school after the shot…it is my opinion that Ms. Puentes be granted an exception from receiving the booster COVID vaccine. She currently is in an unfavorable state of health, presumably caused by the vaccine itself and getting the vaccine is ill advised.7
Despite Union College purportedly allowing exemptions to vaccination for approved medical and religious reasons, the doctor’s letter was ignored by college officials.8
Both Puentes’ doctor and the doctors in the emergency room diagnosed her with gastritis. However, Union College denied that gastritis could be an adverse reaction to the shot. The school nurse told her to just get Moderna’s Spikevax COVID biologic this time, which uses the same messenger RNA (mRNA) technology as Pfizer/BioNtech Comirnaty COVID biologic if she was concerned about the reactions she had to Comirnaty.9
Pfizer/BioNTech Confirms Reaction Was Likely from COVID Shot
Undeterred, Puentes reached out to Pfizer to inquire whether her severe symptoms could be due to the vaccines she was forced to get to attend college. Puentes said Pfizer confirmed her fears stating, “They confirmed that the symptoms I’m having could be or are related to the vaccine because they have seen others with the same reactions.”10
Union College officials discounted the vaccine manufacturer’s confirmation that other people were diagnosed with gastritis like Puentes and that her symptoms were likely from the Comirnaty vaccine. Puentes was denied a medical exemption to the COVID vaccine requirement and she was expelled from school.11
The school’s actions are not supported by government policy as the federal health officials consider individuals, who have received the initial two-dose series of COVID shots, to be fully vaccinated and they have not changed the definition of “fully vaccinated” to include booster doses. However, despite the federal government's stance, Union College is not alone in demanding receipt of COVID booster doses. A number of private businesses and schools are mandating the COVID booster shot as proof a person is “fully vaccinated.” New York University, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Michigan, and Northwestern are among the other universities that require a COVID booster for attendance.12 13
Puentes’ friends started a GoFundMe account to help her pay for the remaining weeks she had on campus and to raise money for a lawyer.14 GoFundMe, an online fundraising platform, shut Puentes’ account down silencing her friends’ efforts to help the young college student.15>
