BE PREPARED: FBI trained Michigan Jewish temple’s staff how to handle active shooters weeks before attack.

The FBI posted about the active shooter seminar Jan. 30, which was designed to help clergy and staff at the temple learn how to respond to an active shooter situation amid a rise in antisemitism.

“FBI Detroit led an Active Shooter Attack Prevention and Preparedness training for the clergy and staff of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield,” the field office posted on X. “The FBI course combines lessons learned from years of research and employs scenario-based exercises to help participants practice the decision-making process of the Run, Hide, Fight principles and take necessary actions for survival. We appreciate them for having us.”

The field office said it has also trained other organizations in the state who are trying to protect schools, houses of worship, medical facilities, government facilities and other public gathering sites and communities.

Don’t be a soft target.

THE LEFT KNOWS WHO ITS ENEMIES ARE AND BEHAVES ACCORDINGLY:

PRIORITIES: Food stamp recipients ⁠sue Agriculture ⁠Department over restrictions on sugary drinks, candy.

The suit was filed Wednesday in federal court in Washington, D.C., by a private firm and the National Center for Law and Economic Justice, which advocates for low-income people, on behalf of five plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs argue the restrictions “destabilize food access” for participants in ⁠the Supplemental ⁠Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAPS, in the states in which the USDA has ​approved the “food restriction” waivers, according to Reuters.

The plaintiffs live in Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee and West Virginia, and said that either they or ⁠family ⁠members rely on the ⁠restricted foods ​to manage health conditions such as diabetes and allergies, or to obtain energy boosts to conduct their ⁠daily lives.

According to the lawsuit, the waivers cause confusion at the checkout line and irreparable harm by forcing the plaintiffs to choose between spending cash on restricted items or forgoing spending money on rent and transportation.

End SNAP. Make soup kitchens great again.

DECLINE IS A CHOICE:

But as CDR Salamander added, “It is not irreversible. You just refuse to do it because if you did, your coalition partners would abandon you, force a snap election, and the AfD would have good chance of being a majority party.”

They’d rather condemn Germany to a Morgenthau existence than let AfD win.

WHEN HE’S RIGHT, HE’S RIGHT: Sen. John Fetterman says Israel should kill Iran’s new supreme leader.

Fetterman also said the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas need to be killed too.

“I mean, I’m always going to support that,” he said, according to The Hill newspaper.

“I think it’s a good thing to continue to eliminate leaders of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Iranian, too.”

He did say that his red line for this war was boots on the ground. He also wanted to know why his Democratic colleagues weren’t as supportive of U.S. action in Iran.

“I would just like to remind everybody watching that every single Democratic presidential candidate always identified that Iran is a top, top security issue,” Fetterman said.

And when he’s wrong, he’s wrong — none of those candidates had any intention of doing anything about it.

WHAT SHE SAID:

Fighting “over there” has been the American way for more than a century, but the Islamists — and their enablers on the Left — figured out ways around that.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Another Day, Another Couple of Islamic Psychopaths in the News. “My mom was born and raised in Dearborn, and I spent time there as a kid and a young adult. I am still stunned by how radically it has changed. The change happened in a relatively short period of time, too. It’s an Americanized version of what has been happening in the United Kingdom, Germany, and other parts of Europe.”

MAKE THEM PAY: Ted Frank’s turnaround: Driving a class action for motorists ‘imprisoned’ by a protest. “Frank and his team brought the case in 2024 on behalf of drivers stuck for ‌hours in a traffic jam while pro-Palestinian protesters blocked a highway near Chicago’s O’Hare airport. On its website, opens new tab, Hamilton Lincoln says they sued to hold the activists accountable and ‘prevent further politically-motivated attacks in the future.’ The filing made the novel argument that the motorists were falsely imprisoned in their cars and sought $36 million in damages for thousands of drivers.”

I approve. That said, beyond the intentional tort of false imprisonment, when you perform an illegal action, you should be responsible for the foreseeable consequences — missed flights, etc. It is not simply a “traffic jam” but deliberate infliction of harm on third parties for political reasons.

THE CORBYNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS ACCELERATING RATHER EXPONENTIALLY: NYC first lady Rama Duwaji illustrated essay for anti-Israel activist who raged about ‘Jewish supremacist vampires.’

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, created artwork for an essay book compiled by an anti-Israel activist who has described Jewish people as “vampires,” “demons” and “ghouls” – and celebrated the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel.

Duwaji, a Syrian American artist and first lady of New York City, drew the lead graphic for “A Trail of Soap,” an essay published by Susan Abulhawa in the Slow Factory’s latest issue of “Everything Is Political” magazine, the Washington Free Beacon reported on Thursday.

Abulhawa is a staunch critic of Israel and has been criticized by the Anti-Defamation League for her “inflammatory rhetoric” towards the Jewish State.

In an op-ed published days after Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israel, Abulhawa called the massacre “a spectacular moment that shocked the world” and insinuated that Israel allowed the attack to happen.”

“Whether or not Israel indeed knew of the plans in advance, those few freedom fighters inspired not only the whole of Palestine, but the oppressed masses worldwide, to imagine what freedom looks like; what resistance is possible; and what life is attainable,” Abulhawa wrote in a piece for “The Electronic Intifada.”

Good and hard, Fun City:

PAYBACK IS A… YOU KNOW: Ukraine Is Getting Its Revenge on Iran.

After supplying Russia with drones that have pounded Ukraine, Iran is about to reap the consequences.

Ukraine is offering its technology and experience in anti-drone warfare to the U.S. and other nations that are under attack by Iranian UAVs. Ukrainian innovation, combined with the immense military and financial resources of the United States, Europe and the Persian Gulf states, could neutralize one of Iran’s most potent weapons.

The U.S. and its allies are struggling to stop the 2,000 or so drones that Iran has launched since the U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign began February 28. For lack of cheap counter-drone systems, they have been forced to use expensive guided missiles – such as $4 million Patriot interceptors – against $20,000 Iranian Shahed drones.

Hence the appeal for Ukrainian help. “We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against ‘shaheds’ in the Middle East region,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted last week. “I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security.”

In fact, Ukraine has already sent counter-drone interceptors and personnel to defend U.S. bases in Jordan, Zelensky told the New York Times. Eleven countries have asked for help, and Ukrainian teams are also in Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Zelensky has said.

Thanks, fellas.
