The first speaker at the event was the chairman of the Otzma Yehudit party, MK Itamar Ben Gvir. In his speech Ben Gvir emphasized that he respects R' Kahane who was a great lover of Israel but at the same time disagrees with all his opinions regarding the expulsion of Arabs and separate sea shores. He was booed when he said that he did not agree with parts of R' Kahana's teachings. "It is no secret that today I am not R' Kahane and I do not support the deportation of all Arabs, and I will not enact laws for...

ROME — On June 19, 2017, the Vatican gendarmes entered the offices of the church’s chief auditor. They confiscated his phone and iPad, threw his papers on the floor and ordered the fire brigade to smash open a locked metal filing cabinet, from which they extracted a document that they said proved he was abusing resources to spy on top Vatican cardinals. “Now you have to confess,” they demanded, according to the auditor, Libero Milone. Faced, he said, with being thrown in a Vatican jail, Mr. Milone signed resignation papers. In the ensuing five years, the Vatican has done much...

A slowdown in price gains delivered a second dose of welcome news for President Biden, who has spent months on the defensive about rapid inflation and his handling of the economy. The moderation comes just two days after his party defied the kind of political blood bath that many had expected given voter concerns about the economy, including price gains that hit a 40-year high this summer. Mr. Biden took quick credit for the slowdown in the Consumer Price Index on Thursday, saying in a statement that his policies are helping to cool price gains while acknowledging there could be...

The Biden administration for the first time will send Ukraine four Avenger air defense systems as part of its latest $400 million weapons package, the Pentagon announced Thursday. The most recent lethal aid tranche — which comes less than a week after the Defense Department on Nov. 4 announced a $400 million military assistance package — comes as the Russian military has announced a withdrawal from the southern city of Kherson, though the move is viewed as a possible ruse to inflict massive casualties on Ukrainian forces. It also drops during a brutal Kremlin missile barrage on major Ukrainian cities...

Sears was on “Cavuto: Coast to Coast” on Thursday discussing whether Trump needs to step aside. “Voters have spoken, and they have said that they want a different leader. And a true leader understands when they have become a liability,” Sears said. “A true leader understands that it’s time to step off the stage, and the voters have given us that very clear message. Because this is about America.” “So if the party wants to move on or some in the party such as yourself, Lt. Governor, maybe Gov. Youngkin feels the same way, but Donald Trump still makes a...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who chairs the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has come out in opposition to President Biden’s renomination of an interstate energy regulator. Manchin spokesperson Sam Runyon said via email that the senator is “not comfortable holding a hearing” on the confirmation of Richard Glick for another term on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Runyon’s brief email did not elaborate on Manchin’s reasoning. Glick’s term on the energy commission expired over the summer, but he’s allowed to serve until the end of the year. Manchin’s position, which was first reported by Bloomberg Law, comes amid...

Memorial of Saint Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church Luke 17:20–25 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus warns that he, the Son of Man, will come on a day we do not expect. What’s so frightening about the coming of the Son of Man? Why isn’t it just good news?Well, if he is the life, that life which is opposed to him has to give way; and if he’s truth, then false claimants to truth must cede to him; and if he’s the way, then the false ways have to be abandoned. So as we await the Lord’s...

Fragile? It must be Italian — or Oklahoman! A 50-foot-tall version of the sexy iconic leg lamp featured in the classic film “A Christmas Story” was erected in a small Oklahoma town to honor the artist who inspired it, according to friends and city officials. The statue boasts a black high heel and a fringed fiberglass lampshade atop a 10-foot crate marked “fragile” in Chickasha’s new downtown park, the oklahoman.com reported. The delightfully tacky novelty lamp — which was said to have emitted the “soft glow of electric sex” in the 1983 flick — was the brainchild of the late...

Explanation: The beginning, middle, and end of a journey through planet Earth's colorful umbral shadow is captured in this timelapse composite image of a total lunar eclipse. Taken on November 8 from Kitt Peak National Observatory this eclipse's 1 hour and 25 minute long total phase starts on the right and finishes on the left. Reddened sunlight, scattered into the central shadow by Earth's dusty atmosphere produces the dramatic dark red hues reflected by the lunar disk. For this eclipse, additional reddening is likely due to scattering from ash lingering in the atmosphere after a large volcanic eruption in the...

Russian lawmakers are planning to loosen restrictions on child labor, allowing kids as young as 14 to go out and find jobs to ease the labor shortage caused in part by the mobilization of 300,000 reservists for the war in Ukraine. Representatives from the ruling United Russia party, of which President Vladimir Putin is the de facto leader, on Wednesday proposed a series of changes to the state labor laws, paving the way for those 14 and older to join the workforce without having to obtain permission from social service agencies. A child wishing to get a part-time job would...
