🚨I am honored to earn once again the endorsement of President Donald J. Trump. I fought alongside President Trump to secure the border, cut taxes, support our military and fully fund our police. President Trump is a true champion for the people of New York’s 24th district and I look forward to serving with him to Save America. 👇
We have had respectful relationship & hopefully will continue but call to US Embassy was AFTER your vehicle was stopped. We had no advance notice of your trip. I go often into Judea/Samaria & visit Palestinians. I publicly condemn ALL violence whether Israeli to Palestinian or Palestinian to Israeli. You would have been well served to have spent time with Israelis who were held hostage or victims of terror to understand big picture but you only chose to come in secretly with an anti-Israel activist to hear one version of reality. Please come back. Let me know when. I will go with you & we will meet with ppl in the PA & in Israel with Jewish, Christian, & Muslims We will visit Hadassah Medical Center which will destroy any notion of “apartheid “ & will arrange a classified briefing to dispel any doubt about the ridiculous claim that Israel engaged in “genocide.” Let’s elevate the discussion. I’ll leave the light on for you!
FIFA world cup semifinals: THE JEW VIEW.
Four countries left. One question that actually matters: Who should Jews root for?! Let's see...🤔
A completely objective, deeply petty, historically rigorous ranking.
🇫🇷 France:
✔ Expelled the Jews in 1182. Let them back.
✔ Expelled them in 1306. Let them back.
✔ Expelled them AGAIN in 1394. Practice makes perfect.
✔ Framed the only Jewish officer on its General Staff for treason (the Dreyfus Affair) — a trial so antisemitic it inspired a journalist named Theodor Herzl to invent modern Zionism.
✔ Then Vichy France helped deport 75,000 Jews to the camps.
⚽ Points for: 3rd largest Jewish community on Earth. Accidentally created Zionism. Excellent kosher wine.
📂 Current form: Record antisemitism. Aliyah applications through the roof.
JEW VIEW SCALE: 4/10 for inventing modern Zionism (by accident)
🇪🇸 Spain:
✔ Invented the Inquisition (1478). Nobody expected it.
✔ Then 1492: convert, leave, or die — fifteen centuries of Spanish Jewry ended with one royal signature.
✔ The expulsion decree stayed legally in force for 476 years.
✔ Spain revoked it in 1968. Yes. THAT 1968.
⚽ Points for: Offered citizenship to Sephardic descendants in 2015. Only 523 years late. Great tapas (we checked — not kosher).
🇮🇱 Current form: ~40,000 Jews left, and a government going for Western Europe's gold medal in anti-Israel hysteria.
JEW VIEW SCALE: 1.5/10 for knowing what they did, but refusing to admit or talk about it. Ok
🏴 England:
✔ Invented the blood libel — Norwich, 1144. History's worst export.
✔ First country in Europe to expel its ENTIRE Jewish population (1290). The ban lasted 366 years.
✔ In 2025, Jews were murdered outside a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur.
⚽ Points for: The Balfour Declaration. 5th largest Jewish community in the world. Readmitted the Jews in 1656 because Cromwell heard we were good for business — flattering AND insulting.
🥯 Current form: Despite scyrocketing record of antisemitism, multiple shootings, stabbings, and bombings, the North London bagels are holding the line.
JEW VIEW SCALE: 3/10 – "giveth the blood libel, giveth the Balfour"
🇦🇷 Argentina:
✔ Opened the door to thousands of Nazis after WWII. Eichmann. Mengele. A whole retirement plan.
✔ In 1994, the AMIA bombing killed 85 people — the deadliest attack on Jews outside Israel since the Holocaust.
✔ Iran and Hezbollah. Still unpunished.
⚽ Points for: The Mossad caught Eichmann in Buenos Aires anyway — thanks for the address. Largest Jewish community in Latin America. Current president studies Torah, wept at the Western Wall, and says he wants to convert. The most philosemitic head of state on Earth.
✡️ Current form: From Nazi haven to "is the president having a bar mitzvah?" in one generation.
JEW VIEW SCALE: 7.5/10 for “character development”
So, who are YOU rooting for?
I can't believe this is real.
The Chancellor of UC San Francisco testified under oath that a "vast majority of pregnancies are in women." Implying some pregnancies occur in men.
When asked directly whether a non-biological woman has ever had a baby, he refused to answer. This is the head of one of the top medical schools in the country.
Yesterday, I addressed a common question: how can an incompetent buffoon such as @GovKathyHochul come remotely close to being re-elected, given her horrendous performance as Governor?
I used ONE small example of a major campaign donor receiving multimillion-dollar state contracts.
Afterward, my phone started ringing with people asking me to look closer to home.
They said, "Chrissy - @markpoloncarz is one of the most unlikeable people to ever walk on this earth. He's a condescending, do-nothing, empty suit that has a record of physically attacking women and giving tax dollars to his side hustles."
So let's look at Erie County.
Here are Mark Poloncarz's top private donors alongside their estimated Erie County business:
Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman LLP
Campaign donations: $108,297
Estimated Erie County contracts: $5–10 million
Phillips Lytle LLP
Campaign donations: $69,524
Estimated Erie County contracts: $2–5 million
James DeMarco (Bengart & DeMarco)
Campaign donations: $67,300
Estimated Erie County contracts: $1–3 million
John DiDonato/DiDonato Associates
Campaign donations: $59,549
Estimated Erie County contracts: $3-8 million
Clough Harbour & Associates (CHA)
Campaign donations: $51,450
Estimated Erie County contracts: $10-$20 million.
Must be nice to have such a thick campaign war chest filled from government contractors - let alone already having a huge advantage of free press from your position.
Everyone should have the ability to call for a press conference when part of their face is numb for a few days. Or make a government video about shoveling snow. Or get the ribbon-cutting photo at a billion-dollar stadium paid for by taxpayers...
Have a great day!
BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, the UN has finally admitted that Hamas is blocking aid into Gaza.
They describe a system of arresting drivers, intimidating and threatening aid workers, and limiting aid.
Israel has been vindicated once again.
Apart from the question of whether @RoKhanna is lying (he is), his performative visit to Judea and Samaria broke the rules and undermined our Constitution.
I was US Ambassador to Israel for 4 years. During that time, the US Embassy facilitated the visits of hundreds of members of Congress. IN EVERY SINGLE CASE, the visit, including the itinerary, was coordinated with the Embassy, and usually with the State Department in DC as well.
This is not just a security driven protocol, although that is an important factor. It also is a reflection of the Constitutional mandate that the foreign policy of the United States is directed by the President through the Department of State.
When a US representative visits a foreign country, the Constitution says that the Executive Branch has the paramount interest in how that visit is achieved. That doesn’t mean that the representative can’t do his own fact finding or draw his own conclusions. But when the representative goes off undermining US foreign policy on foreign soil, that’s foul play.
@RoKhanna went rogue. He couldn’t have cared less about how his theatrics reflected upon our nation. He wanted his sound bites and his video clip, no matter how misleading, and he wasn’t going to let our Constitution get in the way.
On this day 7 years ago, Novak Djokovic defeated Federer in the longest Wimbledon final ever.
The crowd told Roger all he needed was one more point.
In the end, Novak Djokovic silenced them all. 🥶
Let’s be honest, this was a publicity stunt. Channels exist to protect elected officials, and Khanna intentionally entered a restricted, unstable area without coordinating to provoke a response.
What’s appalling is that Ro ignored requests to meet 10/7 survivors and hostages, or to visit sites of the 10/7 terrorist attacks. Instead, riding the anti-Zionist wave, he used the trip as a presidential campaign cameo.

How does one Queens adult daycare center receive nearly $13 MILLION in Medicaid funding without setting off alarm bells?
@nickshirleyy is asking the questions NY Democrats ignored for YEARS.
Hochul and Mamdani’s silence is DEAFENING. What are they doing to stop this fraud?
My friend Senator Graham reportedly died from an aortic dissection, which I focused on as a heart surgeon. This catastrophic condition kills most victims within 48 hours and is best prevented by managing your blood pressure.
My father also suffered an aortic dissection at age 66. He survived for 7 years paralyzed from the waist down and blind from macular degeneration. He continued to serve as a NY Supreme Court Justice during those years. He also continued to play bridge on Saturdays with his signature bold style. We helped him read the cards. He always had a brilliant mind and a strong will to live life to the fullest.
PSA -Just an observation but Senator Lindsey Graham died of the same condition as actor John Ritter. They each had an aortic dissection, which is a tear in the inner wall of the aorta (the body's main artery). The tear causes high-pressure blood to tunnel between the artery's wall layers, separating them & potentially leading to a fatal rupture. In 2003, Ritter fell ill while rehearsing on a TV set. His doctors initially misdiagnosed the aortal tear as a heart attack. Because it was not caught in time, he passed away at age 54. The family later created the John Ritter Foundation to help raise awareness about aortic diseases. The moral of the story is for everyone to get checked. It’s a silent killer. @American_Heart@ACCinTouch@AmerCollPhyAdv@GAACP1@medwma@ACSethics@AP@NBCNews@nypost@POTUS
Let's not lose our grip on the facts - instead of recriminations and accusations - just the facts.
1) Congressman @RoKhanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel - this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in-depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer.
He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
2) He chose to conduct his visit accompanied by Palestinian activists, and, for some reason, @nytimes journalists with cameras at the ready. With him was also a person affiliated with @jstreet, an organization that actively lobbies against the government of Israel on Capitol Hill.
3) Mr. Khanna and his entourage entered what was believed to be a closed military zone without permission. The military had no prior knowledge of him going there, due to his refusal to coordinate with them. The vehicle they stopped was unknown to them and therefore provoked suspicion. The moment details of the Congressman's identity were cleared, he was free to go. At no point was the congressman, or any member of his party, threatened by the soldiers, or civilians bearing arms.
4) To add insult to injury - the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout "genocide" and "apartheid" libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti-Israel media frenzy.
The facts don't lie - this was a cheap, anticipated provocation, that could, and should have been avoided.
5) Calling me a liar won’t change the facts. I’d be happy to host Congressman Khanna at our embassy for an in-depth conversation on his grievances regarding Israel.
Tough way to go. My father survived a dissecting aortal aneurysm. He lived for seven years paralyzed from the waist down and blind. He was a positive inspiration to me and so many others even in that condition.
🫀Now that’s it’s been revealed that Senator Lindsey Graham died of an aortic dissection, I wanted to provide some clarity as to what it is (and isn’t).
As you see👇, the aorta is like the water main, a huge artery that sends oxygenated blood to the entire body. It’s under extreme pressure - every time the heart beats, it expands a little and has to withstand the force of blood pumping. To do this, it has to be elastic - able to bounce back after being stretched.
In some individuals with atherosclerotic disease (hardening of arteries), the inner aorta wall becomes hardened. Imagine a very old rubber band that is brittle and crumbles when you stretch it rather than stretching and bouncing back. The aorta wall crumbles slightly, allowing blood under high pressure to make its way between the inner and outer walls of the aorta.
After just a few heartbeats (insufficient time to really do much about it in many cases), the blood peels the inner and outer walls of the aorta away from one another, causing it to burst. I’ve treated a patient with it - and he didn’t make it. It’s tough to survive.
How to avoid this? Tough to detect in advance that it’ll happen. So… Eat well (including fatty fish with Omega 3’a), lower your cholesterol, keep your blood pressure normal (exercise and weight loss help a lot).
May Senator Graham rest in peace.
