California’s financially battered restaurants filed government claims Monday to recover more than $100 million in fees for liquor and health permits and tourism charges that they say were assessed even though their businesses were shuttered or only partially operating under long-running coronavirus orders. Few industries have been hit as hard during the pandemic as restaurants,…

A family of seven ‒ including four kids ‒ were pepper-sprayed by violent rioters on Sunday while participating in a “Jews For Trump” rally in New York City.
A spokesperson for the New York Police Department said 11 people were taken into custody after the rally descended into chaos and violence Sunday afternoon. Six people were charged with disorderly conduct, obstruction of government administration and harassment, while a seventh person was charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest, the NYPD said Monday.
A convoy of hundreds of cars draped with American flags and “Trump 2020” banners rolled slowly through Manhattan and Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon. The caravan traveled from Coney Island to the Trump Tower in Manhattan before heading to a rally in a Brooklyn park.
Rapper and Joe Biden surrogate Cardi B was terrified when she recently encountered groups of Trump supporters in Los Angeles, expressing horror at their “big ass trucks” and saying “I don’t like this shit!”
Cardi B reportedly posted a series of clips to her Instagram Stories on Saturday in which she livestreamed herself driving past Trump fans wearing MAGA hats and waving American flags.
“Look how many fuckers! I’m scared now we’re gonna get jumped. I really feel like we’re gonna get jumped. Oh my God. Ahhh!” she screamed.
In another clip, she said: “Trump supporters are everywhere, I’m scared. I don’t like it, with their big ass trucks.”
The rapper said in a third clip: “I don’t like this shit. Look at this. Look at this! Look how they’re walking around, with fake guns out and covering their fucking face. I don’t like this shit!”
Watch below:
Cardi B’s Instagram rants are believed to have taken place shortly before or after police officers detained her husband, the rapper known as Offset, after someone inside his vehicle allegedly pointed a gun at Trump supporters who had just participated in a rally in Beverly Hills.
Watch below:
Cardi B reportedly pleaded with the officers to release her husband.
The Beverly Hills Police Department released a statement late Saturday, saying that they had arrested one of the passengers in the vehicle for pointing the weapon. The individual was identified as Marcelo Almanzar, 20, who faces charges of carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a loaded firearm in public. The Beverly Hills PD said Offset wasn’t arrested.
Cardi B has actively campaigned for Joe Biden, conducting in a lengthy interview with the presidential hopeful for Elle magazine in August in which she demanded free college tuition and health insurance. The “WAP” singer recently threw herself a lavish birthday celebration in Las Vegas where she was seen partying without wearing a mask.
In the wake of a pro-Trump rally held by Orthodox Jews in New York City on Sunday, a new poll was released suggesting that more than two-thirds of American Jews believe the Republican Party holds anti-Semitic views, compared to 37% who say the same about Democrats.
The poll included a survey of American Jews and Americans in general.
“Results from both surveys indicate more Americans attribute anti-Semitic views to the Republican Party than attribute them to the Democratic Party,” the non-partisan American Jewish Committee (AJC), which published the polls, said.
“Majorities of respondents in both surveys say the Republican Party holds a lot or some anti-Semitic views. More than two-thirds of American Jews (69%) and over half of US adults (52%) say the Republican Party holds at least some anti-Semitic views, compared to 37% of American Jews and 42% of the general public who say the same about the Democratic Party.”
The Jewish survey was not, however, reflective of the views of Orthodox Jews, who overwhelmingly support Trump — 83%, according to another poll — support Trump.
Among Orthodox Jewish respondents in AJC’s poll, 66% say the Democratic Party holds anti-Semitic views. Among Republican Jews, 71% say the extreme left poses a very or moderately serious antisemitic threat, and 79% say the Democratic Party holds antisemitic views.
Sunday’s rally saw a large crowd turn out for a “Jews for Trump” parade and rally in Brooklyn, with many speakers taking the podium to condemn what they view as hypocrisy on the part of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in their handling of the coronavirus crisis in Orthodox areas.
The rally also included a car parade with more than 1,000 vehicles adorned with Trump flags — some of which were attacked multiple times with pepper spray, punches, rocks and eggs.
One video posted on Twitter shows a pro-Trump convoy led by former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani being pelted with eggs.
“Hey Cuomo, you probably wouldn’t have allowed this [gathering]… Come get me!” said the rally’s MC Nachman Mostofsky, the executive director of the right-wing, pro-Israel policy group Chovevei Zion, as quoted by the Times of Israel.
A family of seven were pepper sprayed by an anti-Trump activist, Fox News reported.
In the AJC poll, 89% of the Jewish respondents said the extreme political right poses a threat to American Jews; 61% said the extreme political left poses a threat.
Strangely, the AJC’s general population survey found that nearly half of Americans don’t know what the phrase “antisemitism” means, with 21% of Americans saying they’ve never even heard of the word. An additional 25% of Americans said they have heard the term but are unsure of what it means.
President Donald Trump warned supporters in Pennsylvania on Monday that former Vice President Joe Biden’s energy plan is an “economic death sentence” for the commonwealth.
“He’s going to ban fracking and deliver an economic death sentence for Pennsylvania, and many other places in our country,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania.
Trump returned to Biden’s record on the issue of fracking and energy in the state, including the former vice president’s assertion during the final presidential debate that he would eliminate oil production entirely.
“I felt like Perry Mason,” Trump said, recalling drawing out Biden’s “confession” about his plans for the oil industry at the end of the debate. “I was Perry Mason; ‘No oil Joe?’”
“That means no fracking, no natural gas, no jobs, no energy for Pennsylvania families,” Trump continued. “He will eradicate your energy and send Pennsylvania into a crippling depression.”
The president also told his supporters that Biden’s running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), sponsored the Green New Deal conceived by socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
“No planes, no cars, no cows … they don’t like cattle of any kind,” Trump said. “It’s a plan for economic suicide.”
Trump also criticized Biden’s energy plan at a rally earlier in the day in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
“The Biden energy shutdown would inflict deep pain and misery on Pennsylvania, mass layoffs constant blackouts and brownouts, soaring gas prices,” Trump said. “Surging energy bills, no air conditioning in the summer, no heat during the winter, and no electricity during peak hours.”
Windmills, Trump argued, only increased carbon emissions simply from their manufacturing process.
“He wants to go wind. … He wants to go with windmills made Germany and China and send big, big carbon into the air when they’re making them.”
The president played a clip for his crowd featuring Biden’s rhetoric during the campaign about getting rid of fossil fuels and discussing a ban on fracking.
Liberal activists and their allies in the mainstream media are now claiming that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden did not accidentally reference former President George W. Bush instead of President Donald Trump while speaking of the upcoming election. Instead, liberals claim, Bided was talking about actor and comedian George Lopez, who was on the stream with […]
President Donald Trump rallied with members of the Pennsylvania Dutch community in Lititz, Pennsylvania, thanking them for their support.
“You know, we have Pennsylvania Dutch,” Trump said as the crowd cheered.
The Pennsylvania Dutch communities are typically made up of Amish, Mennonite, Lutheran, German Reformed, Moravian, and other groups.
“I heard that the other day,” Trump said. “They said, ‘We can’t have a man who sleeps,’ They work hard. ‘We can’t have a guy that sleeps all day in the basement. We can’t. We like Trump.’”
Trump turned and acknowledged a group of the Pennsylvania Dutch who attended his rally wearing traditional clothing and hats.
“Don’t tell anyone. You know they’re great people, they’re great people, but they’re not known for going out and voting for a variety of reasons,” Trump said.
The group grinned as a few of them flashed a thumbs-up sign at the president as the crowd cheered.
Trump recalled that, as a real estate developer, he had a business relationship with the Pennsylvania Dutch.
“Hard workers, incredible craftsmen,” Trump said, adding, “They can throw up a barn in about two days … they use the wooden cogs, they don’t use screws because they want to make everything themselves right?”
President Donald Trump will have withdrawn about 8,000 U.S. troops from land wars in the Middle East and South Asia by the end of November, as part of his efforts to end the U.S.’s participation in foreign wars.
In Afghanistan, Trump is slated to bring home approximately 4,000 U.S. troops from America’s longest war. When he first entered office in January 2017, there were approximately 8,600 forces there. That number will be 4,500 by the end of November.
Trump wants to bring down forces in Afghanistan even further, to 2,500 by early next year, and pull out all forces by the middle of 2021.
In Iraq, Trump has ordered the number reduced to 3,000, down from 5,200 when he first came in. The Obama administration pulled out all U.S. forces in 2011, but put troops back into Iraq and into Syria after the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) appeared poised to take Baghdad.
In Syria, Trump has reduced the U.S. presence from approximately 2,000 to 500.
The bulk of the troop withdrawals in Afghanistan have come after the U.S. helped initiate negotiations in Afghanistan between the U.S.-backed Afghan government and the Taliban.
In Iraq, the withdrawals came after the U.S. military-led anti-ISIS coalition and Iraqi forces took back all the territory that ISIS had seized in 2019, and killed the head of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
Trump touted his administration’s foreign policy achievements during a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Monday.
“Exactly one year ago today, we killed the leader of ISIS, al-Baghdadi. And we took out the world’s number one terrorist, Soleimani is dead. And we took 100 percent of the ISIS caliphate, you know that, 100 percent,” he said.
Trump also listed ending the Iran nuclear deal, which he called “one of the worst, stupidest deals,” and floated the potential of talks with Iran on a better agreement if he wins a second term.
“The first call I get when we win will be from the head of Iran, ‘Let’s make a deal.’ Their economy is crashing, is crashing,” he said.
Trump also listed the moving of the official U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, formally recognizing the city as Israel’s capital. Since then, several Middle East nations have formalized relations with Israel.
“Instead of never-ending wars, we are forging peace in the Middle East,” Trump said.
“No blood in the sand, much less expensive,” he said. “They’re tired of fighting all the time. They’re tired. We’re bringing our soldiers back from Afghanistan, all coming back.”
