Jerusalem, Israel - Dec. 11, 2025 - At Jerusalem’s Menachem Begin Heritage Center on Wednesday evening, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee joined Olga Deutsch, Vice-President of NGO Monitor, and founder Prof. Gerald Steinberg for a wide-ranging discussion.
Huckabee was well into his remarks when he told the audience countries should “take a hike” from the ICC’s politicized accusations and push back against the unfair condemnation of Israel. He criticized the unquestioned use of casualty figures delivered by the Gaza authorities. "Dumb cannot be fixed, but ignorance can be fixed," he told the attentive audience. Accepting unverifiable information is not acceptable. He emphasized that silence is a response, and we must speak up against...
Baltimore, MD - Dec. 11, 2025 - Two fast-moving winter weather systems known as clippers will move through Maryland this weekend. Combined, the systems could potentially bring up to four inches of snow to some parts of the state, according to the latest forecasts.
The first clipper is expected to pass over the Baltimore region Friday afternoon into the evening hours and could impact the after-work commute, The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang said in their latest forecast.
Lack of moisture to fuel the storm could limit overall snow potential, according to the National Weather Service; however, if the system strengthens, up to an inch of snow is possible for the Beltway area.
"We’d venture there’s a 10 to 20 percent chance of an i...
Washington, D.C. - Dec. 11, 2025 - A federal judge in Greenbelt, Maryland, on Thursday ordered Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia ordered released from ICE custody, capping — for now – an extraordinary, 10-month legal fight that has spanned two continents, multiple federal courts, and prompted dozens of hearings in the aftermath of his removal.
The order from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis comes after she tried and failed for months to ascertain the Trump administration's plans to deport Abrego Garcia to a third country, after he was taken into ICE custody in late August.
"Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority," Xinis said in an order Thursday. "For this reason, the Court w...

Baltimore, MD - Dec. 10, 2025 - Reb Abba Zev ben Reb Chaim Yitzchok HaLevi, z'l, my dear Daddy, is gone, and my heart is shattered.
I considered waiting, letting time heal the wounds. It will —that’s the promise of Hamakom — and perhaps writing about my father now is too soon, too personal. But the lessons of his life should be shared. And fresh off of shiva, the opportunity must not be wasted.
There’s so much to gain, so much to learn.
So let me tell you about some of the relatable lessons I learned from my father.
During his hesped, my brother shared a scintillating thought. It captures who our father was.
About fifteen years ago, he decided to write a sefer. It was one of three kabalos he made at the age of seventy.
That in itself is remarkable. ...
Baltimore, MD - Dec. 10, 2025 - The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its final report on the collision between the Container Dali and the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Wednesday, ultimately leading to the bridge collapse in May 2024.
In the 259 final page report, the details highlight the events that officials determined were the probable cause of the loss of electrical power that led the 213-million-pound cargo vessel to crash into the bridge, resulting in the deaths of six highway workers.
The NTSB found that “due to a loose signal wire connection to a terminal block stemming from the improper installation of wire-label banding, resulting in the vessel’s loss of propulsion and steering close to the bridge.”
The hour-long announcement regarding ...

A US-based Palestinian Arab activist has accused Hamas of deliberately hiding tons of baby formula and nutritional shakes meant for children in Gaza, worsening starvation to advance its political narrative, the New York Post reports.
