https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/06/us/anti-jewish-threats-us-adl/index.html
Threats to Jews in the United States tripled in the one-year period since the deadly October 7 terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas, preliminary data provided to CNN by the Anti-Defamation League shows.

More than 10,000 antisemitic incidents occurred between October 7, 2023, and September 2024 – up from 3,325 incidents the prior year. That marks the most incidents recorded in a 12-month period by the organization since it began tracking threats in 1979.

Since last October’s terrorist attack, “Jewish Americans haven’t had a single moment of respite,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement. “Instead, we’ve faced a shocking number of antisemitic threats and experienced calls for more violence against Israelis and Jews everywhere.”

The new preliminary figures released ahead of an upcoming full report by the organization come as police agencies across the country have ramped up patrols around Jewish and Muslim institutions as a precaution in response to the escalating conflict in the Middle East, Monday’s October 7 anniversary and the Jewish High Holidays.

Since the war between Israel and Hamas began, reports of hate crimes and bias incidents targeting Jews, Muslims and Arabs have surged across the United States.

Colorado judge who sentenced election denier Tina Peters to prison receives threats

https://apnews.com/article/tina-peters-election-clerk-sentenced-threats-d565bd42bc566d4d178491a258238765

A rural Colorado county courthouse beefed up security Friday after threats were made against staff and a judge who sentenced former county clerk Tina Peters to nearly nine years behind bars and admonished her for her role in a data breach scheme catalyzed by the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

Courthouse staff in Grand Junction, Colorado, received multiple threats that were being vetted by law enforcement while extra security was provided, said spokesperson Wendy Likes with the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office.

She did not say how many threats were made or how they were received. She also declined to describe the extra security.

The court received compliments as well as threats for Judge Matthew Barrett’s sentencing of Peters, Will Sightler, the court executive of the 21st Judicial District, said in a statement Friday. He didn’t elaborate on what the compliments said.

Peters, a Republican, was sentenced Thursday for allowing access to the county’s election system to a man affiliated with My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell — a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the election.

Elon Musk jumped wildly with his fists in air as he joined Donald Trump on stage for the first time.

The dramatic appearance by the Tesla and SpaceX boss came as Trump returned to the Butler Farm Show grounds in Pennsylvania, where he survived an attempted assassination three months ago.

After leaping up and down, Musk told the huge crowd: 'America is the home of the brave and the true test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire.

'We had one president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist-pumping after getting shot! FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!

Musk, wearing a black baseball hat, urged supporters to vote, and register to vote, and to get others to 'vote right now'.

'I'm being repetitive for a reason,' he said. 'Honestly you want to be a pest. Fight, fight, fight! Vote, vote, vote!'

False claims about the federal response to the historic devastation left by Hurricane Helene are spreading out of control on social media, hampering recovery efforts in hard-hit areas, according to local officials.

The flood of misinformation targeting the Biden administration’s response to the destructive storm is an ominous sign for the coming election, with the presidential contest between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris sure to trigger further attacks on the truth.

“If you think the lies and distortions and know-nothing takes about FEMA are bad, just wait until this time next month,” Tim Alberta, The Atlantic staff writer and author, wrote on X, one of the primary platforms where falsehoods have spread faster than facts.

Elon Musk, the X owner who has endorsed Trump, has repeatedly posted rumors and innuendo denigrating the federal government’s response to Helene. Most of the misinformation is brazenly political, portraying President Joe Biden and Harris as incompetent in an attempt to help Trump win reelection.

Israeli bombing raids on Lebanon continue, with central Beirut neighbourhoods again targeted as the Israeli army ordered the population of more than 30 villages in the south to immediately evacuate and head north. Also hit was the road leading to the Masnaa crossing, the main transit point with neighbouring Syria, which in recent days had been crossed by thousands of Lebanese fleeing the violence. Yesterday, the Israeli armed forces had accused Hezbollah militants of using the crossing to smuggle weapons into the country and warned that they would act to prevent the group from resupplying. According to Beirut government statistics, more than 300,000 people – the vast majority of them Syrian – have crossed the border from Lebanon into Syria in the past 10 days to escape the bombing. In addition, the Lebanese health ministry says 37 people have been killed in Israeli air and ground strikes in the past 24 hours, while the death toll for the past two weeks has surpassed 2,000. On the other front, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) say about 20 rockets were launched from Lebanon towards the Haifa area, while others were reportedly launched towards the Galilee. Most of these were intercepted, while others hit open areas.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/elon-musk-jumped-for-trump-at-butler-rally.html
Elon Musk joined the MAGA circus in person on Saturday night, literally jumping on stage with Donald Trump during the former president’s big rally return to the same Butler, Pennsylvania fairgrounds where he was nearly assassinated in July. After Trump introduced Musk as a “truly incredible guy” who “saved free speech,” the tech billionaire emerged and awkwardly jumped up and down with his arms up behind Trump, who then shouted for him to “take over” the mic. Musk looked like he was trying to become a human MAGA meme.

“As you can see, I’m not just MAGA, I’m dark MAGA,” Musk told the crowd, apparently referring to his black MAGA hat. He then said it was “an honor” to be there before launching into a short speech in which he both celebrated Trump and demonized Democrats.

Musk especially praised Trump for his reaction to getting grazed by a bullet back in July, even imitated Trump by shouting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” for the crowd.

Otherwise, Musk mostly echoed the same hyperbolic rhetoric that has long been standard at Trump rallies regardless of who’s speaking.

“President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America, this is a must-win situation,” the X owner said. He also told the crowd that Democrats want “to take away your freedom of speech, they want to take away your right to bear arms, they want to take away your fight to vote, effectively,” and after asking rally attendees to help get out the vote, offered the apocalyptic warning that “this will be the last election” if Trump doesn’t win.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/mayorkas-claim-fema-tremendously-prepared-comes-haunt-him-helene-aftermath

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas' words have come back to haunt him as video from earlier this year touting the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA’s) preparedness before Hurricane Helene exposed shortcomings in the organization.

Mayorkas this week warned that FEMA was running out of funds as hurricane season continued to slam the southeastern United States. The organization has enough funds to deal with the aftermath of Helene but would not have enough to "make it through the season."

This warning stands in stark contrast to previous comments Mayorkas made in the summer assuring that FEMA would be able to handle upcoming weather crises.

"FEMA is tremendously prepared," Mayorkas assured reporters in a video from July. "This is what we do, this is what they do, and the key here … is to also make sure the communities who are potentially impacted are prepared as well."

"And it’s not just hurricanes and wildfires – also extreme heat, which certainly some parts of the United States are experiencing," he added. Mayorkas stressed that FEMA has "exercised these muscles, regrettably, year after year" due to the "increasing frequency and gravity of weather events."

However, Mayorkas did argue that FEMA’s disaster relief fund remained in a precarious position and needed fresh funding from Congress ahead of an expected heavy hurricane season. In July, he anticipated running out by "mid-August."

Mayorkas stressed the need to be ready for the "consequences" of increasingly severe weather events as climate change continues to exacerbate disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires.

>Nonfarm payrolls surged by 254,000 in September, up from a revised 159,000 in August and better than the 150,000 Dow Jones consensus forecast.
>The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, down 0.1 percentage point, as the survey of household employment showed an even stronger picture, with a gain of 430,000.
>Average hourly earnings increased 0.4% on the month and were up 4% from a year ago. Both figures were ahead of respective estimates.

The U.S. economy added far more jobs than expected in September, pointing to a vital employment picture as the unemployment rate edged lower, the Labor Department reported Friday.

Nonfarm payrolls surged by 254,000 for the month, up from a revised 159,000 in August and better than the 150,000 Dow Jones consensus forecast. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, down 0.1 percentage point.

With upward revisions from previous months, the report eases concerns about the state of the labor market and likely locks in the Federal Reserve to a more gradual pace of interest rate reductions. August’s total was revised up by 17,000, while July saw a much larger addition of 55,000, taking the monthly growth up to 144,000.

Strength in job creation spilled over to wages, as average hourly earnings increased 0.4% on the month and were up 4% from a year ago. Both figures were ahead of respective estimates for gains of 0.3% and 3.8%. The average workweek nudged lower to 34.2 hours, down 0.1 hour.

“It was ‘wow’ across the board, much stronger than expected,” Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab, said of the report. “The bottom line is it was a very good report. You get upward revisions and it tells you the job market continues to be healthy, and that means the economy is healthy.”

A Pennsylvania middle school installed a window in its gender-inclusive restroom, making its interior visible from the school hallway.

The window was constructed at Emory H. Markle Middle School in Hanover, Pennsylvania, which is roughly 5 miles north of the Maryland border. Gender-inclusive bathrooms are commonly used by transgender and nonbinary people for privacy and safety reasons.

Matthew Gelazela, the board president of the South Western School District, said the district decided to add the window as it “engages in renovating multiuser restroom facilities.”

“It has an interest in opening a view into the non-private area of those facilities in similar fashion to what has existed for years in our elementary schools,” Gelazela said in a statement to NBC affiliate WGAL in Lancaster. “In making the area outside of stalls more viewable, we are better able to monitor for a multitude of prohibited activities such as any possible vaping, drug use, bullying or absenteeism.”

Gelazela added that the window does not provide a “view into those private stall spaces from outside of the restrooms.”

The district did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for additional comment.

The window installation raised concerns among some of the students’ parents, who said windows were not added to the school’s single-sex multiuser restrooms.

>Scientists looked at images from space to see how fast Antarctica is turning green. Here’s what they found
>They found plant life — mostly mosses — had increased in this harsh environment more than 10-fold over the past four decades, according to the study by scientists at the universities of Exeter and Hertfordshire in England, and the British Antarctic Survey, published Friday in the journal Nature Geoscience.
>Vegetation covered less than 0.4 square miles of the Antarctic Peninsula in 1986 but had reached almost 5 square miles by 2021, the study found. The rate at which the region has been greening over nearly four decades has also been speeding up, accelerating by more than 30% between 2016 and 2021.

When he and his family needed help in 2019 to get their son Trevor released from Russia, Reed said Sen. Cruz was the first person they called, but that he didn't help them at all.

"It's the direct interaction that we had with Ted Cruz and his failure to assist us in any way when everyone else in the Congress did, and especially all the Congressmen from Texas from both parties," Reed said.

https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/us-news/feds-say-theres-no-money-left-to-respond-to-hurricanes-after-fema-used-640-9m-this-year-on-migrants/

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — after the agency spent more than $1.4 billion since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina.

“We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” he added. “We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what — what is imminent.”

Critics pointed out that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allocated $640.9 million this year in FEMA-administered funds to aid state and local governments coping with the influx of asylum seekers — though Mayorkas’ office fired back late Thursday, insisting that those funds couldn’t be used for hurricane relief because Congress authorized them specifically for the migrant crisis.

“This is easy. Mayorkas and FEMA — immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane. Put Americans first,” Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted Wednesday in response to the DHS chief.

“Yeah!” agreed Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
