Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is not counting out a possible run for the White House in 2024 if former President Donald Trump doesn’t enter the race. Pompeo made his comments during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday. “Sean, I’m always up for a good fight,” he said. “You and I have been part of the conservative movement for an awfully long time now. I aim to keep at it.” Hannity said he would take Pompeo’s remarks as “a strong maybe.” And Pompeo replied: “That’s perfect.” Join BJL on WhatsApp Status: Click here to Join BJL status for engagements, births, deals, levayos, events & more Join BJL on WhatsApp Groups: Click here to Join an official BJL WhatsApp group ...
Budapest, March 4 -- A long-running dispute over the allocation of Holocaust reparations to Hungary’s Charedi Jewish community is getting public notice this week. In a last-ditch effort before taking legal action, Róbert Deutsch, president of the Autonomous Charedi Jewish Community of Hungary (MAOIH), sent a formal letter to Neolog-Reform Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities (MAZSIHISZ) leadership requesting an immediate settlement of a 10 billion HUF ($33 million) debt it is owed. The Federation has not responded to requests from Charedi community leaders since 2018.  In a final attempt before asserting its claim in the dispute, Deutsch called on Federation president András Heisler to settle the debt in the coming week or face civil litigation. The Hungaria...
U.S. equities tumbled Thursday after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell suggested the central bank would be patient in taking action should inflation return.

Imposing a fourth nationwide lockdown on Israel is not beyond the realms of possibility despite the country’s vast, record-setting vaccination campaign, coronavirus czar Prof Nachman Ash said on Wednesday. Speaking with Channel 12 News, Ash criticized the decision to reopen Ben Gurion Airport, saying it was “far from ideal” and “brought with it the risk that new virus strains will be introduced into Israel.” Join BJL on WhatsApp Status: Click here to Join BJL status for engagements, births, deals, levayos, events & more Join BJL on WhatsApp Groups: Click here to Join an official BJL WhatsApp group for breaking news as it happens Last week, Israel announced it would reopen its main international airport on Sunday, in order to repatriate...
A first-ever “space hurricane” was spotted whirling above the Earth, scientists said. The 600-mile-wide mass of plasma occurred several hundreds of miles above the North Pole, according to a study in the journal Nature Communications. “Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible,” said Mike Lockwood, a space scientist at the University of Reading and co-author of the study, in a statement.

America’s infrastructure has scored near-failing grades for its deteriorating roads, public transit and storm water systems due to years of inaction from the federal government, the American Society of Civil Engineers reports. Its overall grade: a mediocre C-. In its “Infrastructure Report Card” released Wednesday, the group called for “big and bold” relief, estimating it would cost $5.9 trillion over the next decade to bring roads, bridges and airports to a safe and sustainable level. That’s about $2.6 trillion more than what government and the private sector already spend.

President Biden’s pick to be the Pentagon’s policy chief said on Thursday the world “probably is a better place” because of President Trump’s decision to kill Iranian terror leader Qassem Soleimani. The congressional testimony was a pronounced shift for Democrats who generally condemned the January 2020 missile strike. Then-candidate Joseph R. Biden said the drone attack showed Mr. Trump to be “dangerously incompetent” and a “reckless disregard of the consequences that would surely follow.” Soleimani led Iran’s notorious Quds Force. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps component exports the regime’s terrorist attacks, especially in Iraq, where its militias target Americantroops, and in Syria where Iran props up...

Growing up, I was an avid baseball fan. The Baltimore Orioles were my team. My oldest child was born just hours after my wife and I attended a game. We are still uncertain if the disappointment of yet another Oriole loss or the kosher hot dog stand fare induced the labor. There is one player, however, and not even an Oriole, that gained my deepest respect. Nolan Ryan. To me he was a true celebrity. Nolan Ryan would remain after a game and sign autographs for all those waiting. Long after the bus took his teammates to the hotel, Nolan was there talking to the fans. A taxi driver remarked that he once drove Nolan Ryan to the hotel over three hours after the game ended. When asked why he was so dedicated to the fans, Nolan replied, “because it’s the fans who make me who I am. ...

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned that President Joe Biden’s prediction that life will mostly be back to normal by March next year is too optimistic, Breitbart reported. Fauci, who is Biden’s chief medical adviser, said at an event organized by the University of Edinburgh that “I don’t think we’re going to be completely normal a year from now. But I hope we’re well on the way to normality so that we can ultimately get the world protected at the same time as we get economic recovery so that all the unintended consequences of shutting down begin to normalize, including other health issues that have arisen because of the shutdown.” Join BJL on WhatsApp Status: Click here to Join BJL status for engagements, births, deals, levayos, events & more ...
