This Is What New York City’s Worst Borough Looks Like Now- The Bronx!

The Bronx, one of New York City's five boroughs, is a vibrant and diverse area with a rich cultural history. While the term "hood" may be used colloquially to refer to certain neighborhoods or communities, it’s important to approach the subject with sensitivity and an appreciation for the resilience and culture of its residents. The Bronx is the birthplace of hip-hop and home to iconic landmarks like Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo. It has historically faced challenges such as economic inequality and systemic underinvestment, but it is also full of tightly knit communities, artistic expression, and entrepreneurial spirit. Areas like Fordham, South Bronx, and Highbridge have their unique identities, blending longstanding traditions with ongoing urban revitalization.

IDF Soldier “It’s TIME to Tell You EVERYTHING that Happened to Me…”

Who We Are: In 2010, Rabbi Uriel & Shevy Vigler invited a group of wounded IDF veterans for a 10-day all-expense paid trip to New York City. “We felt the soldiers could boost morale and might appreciate recognition from their American Jewish friends.” Little did they expect the true impact the trip would have. Vigler’s heartfelt gesture of solidarity and support was the root of Belev Echad. Since then, the program has developed into a global organization that is dedicated to helping IDF veterans thrive. The connection and camaraderie between the staff and soldiers makes a tremendous difference when dealing with the trauma associated with war. The Belev Echad family provides a safe space where the soldiers, and their families, can let their guard down and don’t have to face the horrors they have witnessed alone.

A Florida man has been arrested after allegedly making “violent” threats against President Donald Trump.

On Saturday, the West Palm Beach Police stated that Shannon Depararro Atkins, 46, was arrested after a tip provided to the authorities accused him of threatening to kill the president on social media. 

He is currently facing one count of making written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism. 

Atkins is also facing a drug possession charge after detectives found cocaine on him at the time of the arrest.

West Palm Beach Police stated that they began their investigation on January 19th after a tip sent to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center reported a man in Okeechobee, later identified as Atkins, making violent Facebook posts aimed towards Trump.

According to WPEC, authorities stated that Atkins said something along the lines of “Lincoln, JFK, Reagan, Martin Luther King, and Trump. Unfortunately, one is still alive.” Another post by Atkins allegedly stated “Bullets, please. Jesus! Save America” and “I’ve been banned from X because I said I hope and pray someone kills him. We haven’t had an assassination in years.”

The inquiry, which led police to Atkins, was started on January 20 by a detective from the West Palm Beach Police who was attached to the FBI task team. Detectives had been keeping an eye on Atkins during the inquiry before his arrest on Friday night.

Atkins was driving a white 2013 BMW 750Li when he was stopped during a traffic stop close to his West Palm Beach residence just before 7:30 p.m. Friday, according to West Palm Beach Police.

Atkins acknowledged creating the posts online during his interrogation with police. He was subsequently brought to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Main Detention Center, where he is being held on the aforementioned counts. The U.S. Secret Service was also informed by detectives, and they will decide if Atkins will be charged with any federal offenses.

Voter registration records show that Atkins voted Democrat since at least 2008.

Atkins’ arrest comes months after Trump survived two assassination attempts, including a shooting during a Butler, Pennsylvania rally in July in which a bullet grazed his ear.
