House Speaker Nancy Pelosi  privately told senior Democrats that she’d like to see President Trump “in prison,” Politico reported Wednesday.
Her remarks came during a meeting Tuesday night with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and other top Democrats leading investigations against the White House, multiple sources told Politico.
Nadler reportedly pressed Pelosi to let his committee launch an impeachment inquiry, which the Democratic leader denied.
“I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,” Pelosi said, according to Politico.

When the Bnei Yisroel were in Sinai after having crossed through the Yam Suf, Hakadosh Boruch Hu commanded them to count down the days until Shavuos, at which time the Torah would be given to them and shtei halachem would be brought (Vayikra 23:15-16).
It is commonly understood al pi drush that the reason for the count was to signify their anticipation to receive the Torah. The purpose of Yetzias Mitzrayim was not simply to free the Jewish people from slavery, but to bring them to Har Sinai for them to receive the Torah and become obligated to studying it and observing its many commandments.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday dismissed the notion that anti-Semitism exists on the left side of the political spectrum, saying that Jew-hatred is a “right-wing movement.”
At a press conference in Brooklyn, home to 561,000 Jews, he said, “I think the ideological movement that is anti-Semitic is the right-wing movement.”
De Blasio, a candidate for president, disagreed with a claim by a reporter who noted increasing anti-Semitism “on the left in the BDS movement and around the world.”
BDS supporters are predominantly associated with the far-left, belonging, for example, to the Democratic Socialists of America, and are especially active within academia and on college campuses.

The following are two major takeaways from Tuesday night’s election in Toms River, NJ, in which Mo Hill and his entire slate won.
First, all the Jewish-supported candidates won by margins smaller than the Jewish vote. So the Jewish vote clearly swayed the election. Jewish-community-supported Mo Hill garnered 511 more votes than runner up Joe Coronato. Had 256 Jewish voters voted for Coronato and his slate instead of Hill and his, Coronato and his slate would have won. The breakdown of districts show that Hill won by a landslide in the Jewish-dense areas.

The New York Times has already devoted not one but two food-section articles to boycott-Israel-promoter Yasmin Khan’s book of “recipes and stories from the Palestinian kitchen.”

Israel’s Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit will not give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an additional delay on the pre-indictment hearing in the three corruption cases against him, despite Netanyahu’s insistence that the hearing will unjustly affect the Sept. 17 election.
In a letter Thursday to Netanyahu’s lawyers, top Mandelblit adviser Gil Limon said the new election does not justify a delay, and that evidence for the scheduled October 2-3 hearing was provided to Netanyahu’s legal team in April.

The leader of the Shomron Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, expressed the opposite of “I’m loving it” in regards to opposition to McDonald’s being given a tender to operate at Ben-Gurion Airport, as the fast-food chain will not operate franchises in the West Bank.
“A company that boycotts part of the state must not be allowed to compete in government tenders,” wrote Dagan in a letter to Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, Transport Minister Israel Katz and Airports Authority director-general Yaakov Ganot.
He added that “the State of Israel recently passed the ‘Boycott Law’ whose purpose is to impose sanctions that will help deal with internal and external elements that seek to harm and confiscate parts of the State of Israel and its citizens.”

Dear Klal Yisroel,
I come to you with a broken heart and a broken soul. I write this with tears streaming down my face. I have a 26 year old brother, a young father of two who is suffering from a rare and aggressive illness r”l. He is currently battling stage four cancer and is fighting for his life. He has undergone months of excruciatingly painful treatments of all types. At this point, the doctors are running out of options. However, there is one final trial that they are willing to try, which they believe can save his life.
