When we last checked in with Ross he was hanging out in what was surely a crazy-smelling room with then-Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, who decided that a live broadcast was a good place to say, "I'm gonna be honest, like no funny weird shit, y'all run the world." He was talking to Ross, who is Jewish, and who did not take offense because his whole brand is built around moronic provocation. You may also remember him as the guy who bought Donald Trump a Cybertruck.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
For humanities faculty, the past five years have felt like a relentless assault on our ability to do our jobs. We have endured COVID, generative AI, budget cuts, and bitter fights over the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and Israel's war on Gaza. At times it has been a challenge to remain human, let alone humanistic: to calm the nervous system enough to read a book, refine an argument, or show up for our colleagues and our increasingly fragile students.
The federal government will significantly strengthen hate speech laws including to target religious preachers and create new powers to cancel or reject visas of people who spread hate and division as part of a major escalation in its response to the Bondi massacre. The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, unveiled the measures on Thursday after days of intensifying pressure to do more to stamp out anti-Jewish hate in the wake of Sunday's terrorist attack on a Hanukah celebration.
I've gone through the different decisions that have been taken in this respect, and I have confidence of the decisions that [were] made, Burke told the ABC's 7.30 on Wednesday. Obviously, they are not all decisions that were made during the life of this particular government, but I'm not playing political games with any of this. And no matter who was in office at different times, I have confidence in the way decisions were taken.
A menorah erected in Travers Park was vandalized early Sunday morning in an apparent antisemitic attack one day before a scheduled public Hanukkah lighting ceremony in the park. The menorah, erected by the Jackson Heights Chabad on 76th Street between Northern Boulevard and 34th Avenue, was spray painted with foam during the incident, with vandals targeting the menorah's center support beam. Local residents cleaned the menorah in time for the Dec. 14 public lighting ceremony on the first day of Hanukkah. However, Rabbi Meir Pape of the Jackson Heights Chabad told the New York Post that the act of vandalizing a menorah stands as a "statement."
No institution that hesitates to condemn antisemitism and hatred or that gives a platform to those who spread them can credibly claim to uphold the vision that once made the Heritage Foundation the world's most respected conservative think tank. And, I cannot, in good conscience, remain on a board that is unwilling to confront the lapses in judgment that have harmed its credibility, its culture, and the conservative movement it once helped shape.
I was just delighted because the wedding had gone very well I was beetling back to Sydney, it's a gorgeous drive the green hills and the trees and I was going to get home for eight o'clock, the family would be back from Dover Heights by then, we would all get together, we would light Hanukah candles, give out chocolate money to the kids, it was one of those perfect days.
"This is the most powerful community in the world," Sharpe said on a Dec. 1 episode of his podcast "Night Cap." When Ochocinco asked which community Sharpe was referring to, he clarified by describing the Israeli flag: "There's another country that has a white and blue flag with a star on it."

Like all Australians, Bondi isn't just a place to me, it lives in my heart as a symbol of who we are. As a child I spent many Sundays on the beach at North Bondi life-savers as a nipper, and as a former mayor of Waverley council and a local councillor for more than a decade, I have walked its concrete ramparts thousands of times, in all its seasons.
Sydney, New South Wales An terrorist attack on a Hanukah celebration at Australia's most famous beach has left at least 12 people dead, including one attacker, after gunmen opened fire from a nearby footbridge.
