Extreme summer heat is coming! 🌡️🥵

Here's how to clear out hot, stagnant air and cool your car in seconds. ⤵️

And remember: never leave a child alone in a vehicle — not even for a second.

"Day after day, the emphasis falls overwhelmingly on Israeli operations, Israeli warnings, Israeli escalation, and Israeli airstrikes. Hezbollah’s attacks often appeared deep in the article, stripped of scale and frequency, if they appeared at all." https://t.co/XKqGdUaXCr

Across much of the Western media landscape, the impression left for readers is that Israel drives the violence while Hezbollah simply exists somewhere in the background of the story that it actually starts.

That distortion now shapes public understanding far beyond the battlefield itself. Israel is often discussed as though it exists outside the standards applied to every other sovereign nation. For months, rockets strike civilian communities while armed drones target patrols, border positions, and towns across northern Israel. Tens of thousands of Israelis remain displaced from their homes. Yet once Israel responds militarily, much of the international focus shifts almost immediately away from the side initiating the attacks and toward the country attempting to stop them.

What Is Anti-Zionism?

Anti-Zionism is the rejection of Zionism — the denial of Israel’s right to exist. It’s not criticism of Israeli policy (which any democracy must invite); it’s the denial of the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in parts of their ancestral homeland. From Soviet propaganda and UN Resolution 3379 to today’s BDS movement and campus activism, anti-Zionism has evolved into a coordinated effort to strip the world’s only Jewish state of its legitimacy by dressing the oldest hatred in the language of social justice. Natan Sharansky’s Three Ds — Delegitimization, Demonization, and Double Standards — and the IHRA definition, adopted by more than 30 countries, draw a clear line between legitimate criticism and Jew hatred. Anti-Zionism is antisemitism, plain and simple.

All 8 episodes of “What Is” are now out. Stay tuned for updates about Season 2.

Your trash is costing Maryland cash.

The millions spent annually cleaning litter from Maryland roads could instead help fill nearly 136,000 potholes statewide.

Respect Maryland Roads. Don't litter.

The hottest months of the year are nearly here. 🔥🌡️

Parents — here is the data you need to know to keep your little ones safe this summer. ⬇️

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Sadly, there have been 2 devastating losses this week alone, and 4 so far this year. 💔

As we head into the hottest months of the year, remember to look out for our littlest passengers:

1️⃣ Always check the back seat.
2️⃣ Lock your vehicle doors.
3️⃣ If you see a child alone in a hot car, call 911 immediately.

Severe weather can create hazardous road conditions. ⛈️ If you find yourself driving on slick roads during a downpour, slow down and remember the basics. ⤵️

If you come across high water, Turn Around, Don't Drown!

What Is Zionism?

Zionism is the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in parts of their ancestral homeland — the belief that Jews, like every other people, deserve to live in safety and freedom. First articulated by Nathan Birnbaum and then Theodor Herzl in the late 19th century, it grew into the national liberation movement that led to the reestablishment of Israel in 1948. Simply put, Zionism is Israel’s right to exist.

New episodes coming every Monday and Thursday at 11am ET throughout May.

Confirmed: rapists, cowards and vile deviants.

Volumes of incontrovertible evidence of the depravity of Hamas.

NYT preemptively dropped a grotesque op-ed with sources linked to Hamas for a beachhead of “bothsiderism” Hamas defenders.

What Is The Land Of Israel?

The Land of Israel, also called Eretz Yisrael, is the heart of the Jewish story, the place where the Jewish journey began and where it has remained central to Jewish identity ever since. From Abraham’s covenant through King David, the First and Second Temples, exile, and the modern reestablishment of Israel in 1948, it’s an ancient, sacred place where history, identity, and faith intersect.

This week — and every week — we remind drivers to show their appreciation for first responders by slowing down or moving over when they see flashing lights on the shoulder. 🚨

Let's keep our protectors safe!

May 11-17 is Bike to Work week. Expect to see more bicyclists on the roadways during your travels. Leave plenty of space when passing and watch when opening your vehicle’s doors. #BikeToWorkMD

[MD State Highway Adm @MDSHA]

Today, we remember Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Patel, two members of our SHA family who lost their lives in the line of duty. Their service will never be forgotten. Behind every orange cone, work truck, and reflective vest is a person loved by many. Slow down. Stay alert. Move over.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas shitheads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care.

Where’s my party’s condemnation?

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

From May snow to severe storms and heavy rain, some parts of the country are experiencing extreme weather whiplash this week. 🌨️⛈️🌥️

When you're behind the wheel, remember to adjust your speed to match the conditions. ⤵️

[Governor Wes Moore @GovWesMoore]

Jewish Americans have helped shape this country and this state for the better in ways we see every day — in our communities, our culture, and our history.

I'm proud to celebrate that contribution and stand steadfast in love and support for our Jewish community.

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Keep you and your fellow drivers SAFE! Slow down, move over and give them the space they need.

*Move Over laws vary. Check your state's specific laws.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

My Toronto synagogue has been targeted 10 times, this Jewish-owned business has been vandalized three times, day schools have been shot at repeatedly.

The attackers keep coming back because @MayorOliviaChow doesn’t seem to care that it’s open season on Canadian Jews.
