Edward Rudolph “Ed” Bradley, Jr. (June 22, 1941 – November 9, 2006) was an American journalist, most common for 26 years of award-winning work towards the CBS News television program 60 Minutes. During his earlier career, he also covered the fall of Saigon, was the first black television correspondent to cover up the White House, and anchored his news bulletin, CBS Sunday Night News with Ed Bradley. He received several awards for his work, including the Peabody, the National Association of Black Journalists Lifetime Achievement Award, Radio Television Digital News Association Paul White (journalist) Award, and 19 Emmy Awards.
Bradley was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents divorced when he was two years old, after which he was raised by his mother, Gladys, who worked two jobs to make ends meet. Bradley, who was referred to having the childhood name of “Butch Bradley,” was able to see his father in Detroit, in the summertime, who had a vending machine business and owned a restaurant. When that was transpiring nine, his mother enrolled him within the Holy Providence School, an all-black Catholic boarding school run by the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament at Cornwells Heights, Pennsylvania.

While he was teaching, he moonlighted with the old WDAS studios on Edgley Drive in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park, contributing on free and, later, for minimum wage. He programmed music, read the news, and covered basketball games and other sports.
George Burns is part of my Jewish roots. George Burns was born Nathan Birnbaum on January 20, 1896 in New York City, the ninth of 12 children born to Hadassah “Dorah” (née Bluth; 1857–1927) and Eliezer Birnbaum (1855–1903), known as Louis or Lippe, Jewish immigrants who had arrived at the United States from Kolbuszowa, Galicia, now Poland. Burns was a participant in the First Roumanian-American Congregation. His father has been a substitute cantor at the local synagogue but usually worked as a coat presser. During the influenza epidemic of 1903, Lippe Birnbaum contracted the flu and died at the age of 47. Nattie (as George was then called) walked to work to help support the family, shining shoes, running errands and selling newspapers. When he landed a position being a syrup maker in a local candy shop at age seven, “Nate” while he was known, was “discovered.”

House investigators issued subpoenas Thursday up to 2 associates of President Trump’s lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani following their arrest on campaign finance charges, seeking “key documents” which have not been produced along with impeachment inquiry.
The 2 guys are supposed to charge with scheming to funnel foreign money to U.S. politicians within a bid to affect U.S.-Ukraine relations. Both types have helped Giuliani investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his awesome son, although the indictment does not mention Giuliani or suggest that he cannot be charged with illegal trespass portion of alleged crimes. The developments played out as Trump ready to move to Minneapolis as a result of his first campaign rally since House Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry. Ahead of the trip, Trump lashed out at Fox News following its release of a new poll showing 51 percent of voters want to see him impeached and taken out of office. That is an uptick considering that the House launched an inquiry focused on Trump’s call wherein he pressed the president of Ukraine to look into the Bidens at a time when U.S. military aid to Ukraine was withheld.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Wednesday that its officers had raided seven food processing plants in Mississippi and detained approximately 680 “removable aliens” in what a federal prosecutor described as “the largest single-state immigration enforcement operation in your nation’s history.”
Nearly 600 ICE agents swarmed the plants in Bay Springs, Carthage, Canton, Morton, Pelahatchie and Sebastapol, surrounding the perimeters to maintain workers from fleeing.
“The execution of federal search warrants today was simply about enforcing the rule of law in your state and throughout our great country,” U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst said within a statement. ” I commend these federal agents, our state and local law enforcement partners, and our federal prosecutors for their professionalism and dedication to guarantee that those who violate our laws are held accountable.”
FEDERAL JUDGE STRIKES DOWN TRUMP ASYLUM BAN ON MIGRANTS WHO ILLEGALLY CROSS BORDER In Morton, 40 miles east of Jackson, workers filled three buses — two for males and one for women — on a Koch Foods Inc. plant. Workers had their wrists tied with plastic bands and were informed to deposit personal belongings in transparent plastic bags. Agents collected the baggage before they boarded buses. About 70 family, friends and residents waved goodbye and shouted, “Let them go! Allow them to go!” Later, two additional buses arrived.
Workers who were confirmed to have legal status were permitted to let the plant following a their trunks searched. Some employees attempted to flee on foot but were captured in the parking lot.
“It was actually a sad situation inside,” said Domingo Candelaria, a legal resident and Koch worker who said authorities checked employees’ identification documents.
“All the unlawfully present foreign nationals arrested Wednesday are now being interviewed by ICE staff to record any potential mitigating humanitarian situations,” ICE said in a statement. “Based upon these interviews, and consideration of their criminality and prior immigration history, ICE is working out on a case-by-case basis based on the totality of the circumstances which individuals will certainly be detained and which persons may be released from custody at the moment.”
“HSI’s [Homeland Security Investigations] worksite enforcement efforts are equally focused on aliens who unlawfully seek work in the U.S. as well as the employers who knowingly hire them,” HSI New Orleans Special Agent in Charge, Jere Miles said within a statement.
A hangar with the Mississippi National Guard in Flowood, near Jackson, was set up with 2,000 meals to process employees for immigration violations on Wednesday. There have been seven lines, one for each location that has been hit.
“I’ve never done anything like this,” Chris Heck, resident agent in charge of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit in Jackson, told The Associated Press included in the hangar. “This can be a very large worksite operation.”
Such large raids were common under President George W. Bush, most notably at a kosher meatpacking plant in tiny Postville, Iowa, in 2008. Nearly 400 workers, mostly Guatemalans, were swept up and jailed due to that operation. President Barack Obama avoided them, limiting his workplace immigration efforts to low-profile audits that were done beyond public view.
Trump resumed workplace raids, but the months of preparation and hefty resources they require make her rare. Last year, the administration hit a landscaping company near Toledo, Ohio, and a meatpacking plant in eastern Tennessee. The former owner of the Tennessee plant was sentenced to 18 months in prison last month.
Koch Foods, situated in Park Ridge, Ill., is one of the largest poultry producers in the U.S. and employs about 13,000 people, with operations in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and Tennessee. Forbes ranks it as the 135th largest privately held company in the U.S., using an estimated $3.2 billion in annual revenue. The Morton plant produces more than 700,000 tons of poultry feed a year, company officials said in February. Immigration agents also hit a Peco Foods Inc. plant in Canton, about 35 miles north of Jackson. The organization, based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, says it’s the eighth-largest poultry producer in the U.S. An organization representative didn’t immediately respond to a telephone call or email seeking comment.
It’s going to get worse. That’s the warning of a former violent extremist, Christian Picciolini, who joined a neo-Nazi movement 30 years ago and in fact now attempts to get people out of them. White-supremacist terrorists—the ones who have left dozens dead in attacks in Pittsburgh, New Zealand, and El Paso, Texas, the past few months—aren’t just trying to outdo another, he told us. They’re trying to outdo Timothy McVeigh, the anti-government terrorist who blew up an Oklahoma City federal building and killed greater than 100 people in 1995—the worst terrorist attack within the united states before September 11, 2001.
On Saturday morning in El Paso, a gunman shot and killed 22 people, including children, on a Walmart. The shop was crowded for back-to-school-shopping season. The victims included a high-school student, an elementary-school teacher, and a couple carrying their infant son, who survived. And the shooter, based on an online manifesto authorities attributed to the suspect, saw himself fighting a “Hispanic invasion” as he gunned them down. That shooting, in addition to yet another one hours later, wherein an attack killed nine individuals over half a minute in Dayton, Ohio, renewed the clamor for gun-control laws that has become a grim ritual after such events. But Picciolini said that even if the U.S. could get a handle on its gun problem, terrorists can always find other ways. McVeigh had his car bomb, the September 11th hijackers had their airplanes, Islamic State attackers have suicide bombings, trucks, and knives. “I have to ask myself, Can we have white-nationalist airline pilots?” Picciolini said. “There have to be. I knew people in powerful positions, in politics, in law enforcement, who were secretly white nationalists. I think we’d be stupid and selfish to believe that that most of us don’t have those in the truck-driving industry.”
What do Jews believe about Jesus? For some Jews, the name alone is nearly synonymous with pogroms and Christian anti-Semitism.Other Jews, recently, have come to regard him as a Jewish teacher. This does not mean, however, that they believe, as Christians do, that he was raised from the dead or was the messiah.While many people now regard Jesus as the founder of Christianity, it is important to note that he did not intend to establish a new religion, at least according to the earliest sources, and he never used the term “Christian.” He was born and lived as a Jew, and his earliest followers were Jews as well. Christianity emerged as a separate religion only in the centuries after Jesus’ death.
Who Was Jesus?
Virtually all of what is known about the historical Jesus comes from the four New Testament Gospels — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — which scholars believe were written several decades after Jesus’ death. While there is no archaeological or other physical evidence for his existence, most scholars agree that Jesus did exist and that he was born sometime in the decade before the Common Era and crucified sometime between 26-36 CE (the years when the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, ruled Judea).
He lived at a time when the Roman Empire ruled what is now Israel and sectarianism was rife, with major tensions among Jews not only over how much to cooperate with the Romans but also how to interpret Torah . It was also, for some, a restive time when displeasure with Roman policies, as well as with the Temple high priests, bred hopes for a messianic redeemer who would throw off the foreign occupiers and restore Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel.

Was Jesus the Messiah?
The question “was Jesus the messiah?” requires a prior question: “What is the definition of messiah?” The Prophets (Nevi’im), who wrote hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth, envisioned a messianic age as as a period of universal peace, in which war and hunger are eradicated, and humanity accepts God’s sovereignty. By the first century, the view developed that the messianic age would witness a general resurrection of the dead, the in-gathering of all the Jews, including the 10 lost tribes, to the land of Israel, a final judgment and universal peace.
Some Jews expected the messiah to be a descendant ofKing David (based on an interpretation of God’s promise to David in of an eternal kingdom). The Dead Sea Scrolls speak of two messiahs: one a military leader and the other a priest. Still other Jews expected the prophet Elijah, or the angel Michael, or Enoch, or any number of other figures to usher in the messianic age. Stories in the Gospels about Jesus healing the sick, raising the dead, and proclaiming the imminence of the kingdom of heaven suggest that his followers regarded him as appointed by God to bring about the messianic age.
More than 1,000 years after Jesus’ crucifixion, the medieval sage Maimonides (also known as Rambam) laid out in his Mishneh Torah specific things Jews believe the messiah must accomplish in order to confirm his identity — among them restoring the kingdom of David to its former glory, achieving victory in battle against Israel’s enemies, rebuilding the temple (which the Romans destroyed in 70 CE) and ingathering the exiles to the land of Israel. “And if he’s not successful with this, or if he is killed, it’s known that he is not the one that was promised by the Torah,” Maimonides wrote.
What About Jews for Jesus? Jews for Jesus is one branch of a wider movement called Messianic Jews. Members of this movement are not accepted as Jewish by the broader Jewish community, even though some adherents may have been born Jewish and their ritual life includes Jewish practices. While an individual Jew could accept Jesus as the messiah and technically remain Jewish — rejection of any core Jewish belief or practice does not negate one’s Jewishness — the beliefs of messianic Jews are theologically incompatible with Judaism.
Did the Jews Kill Jesus?
No. Jesus was executed by the Romans. Crucifixion was a Roman form of execution, not a Jewish one.
For most of Christian history, Jews were held responsible for the death of Jesus. This is because the New Testament tends to place the blame specifically on the Temple leadership and more generally on Jewish people. According to the Gospels, the Roman governor Pontius Pilate was reluctant to execute Jesus but was egged on by bloodthirsty Jews — a scene famously captured in Mel Gibson’s controversial 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ” According to the Gospel of Matthew, after Pilate washes his hands and declares himself innocent of Jesus’ death, “all the people” (i.e., all the Jews in Jerusalem) respond, “His blood be on us and on our children” (Matthew 27:25).
This “blood cry” and other verses were used to justify centuries of Christian prejudice against Jews. In 1965, the Vatican promulgated a document called “Nostra Aetate” (Latin for “In Our Time”) which stated that Jews in general should not be held responsible for the death of Jesus. This text paved the way for a historic rapprochement between Jews and Catholics. Several Protestant denominations across the globe subsequently adopted similar statements.

Why Was Jesus Killed?Some have suggested that Jesus was a political rebel who sought the restoration of Jewish sovereignty and was executed by the Romans for sedition — an argument put forth in two recent works: Reza Aslan’s Zealot and Shmuley Boteach’s Kosher Jesus. However, this thesis is not widely accepted by New Testament scholars. Had Rome regarded Jesus as the leader of a band of revolutionaries, it would have rounded up his followers as well. Nor is there any evidence in the New Testament to suggest that Jesus and his followers were zealots interested in an armed rebellion against Rome. More likely is the hypothesis that Romans viewed Jesus as a threat to the peace and killed him because he was gaining adherents who saw him as a messianic figure.
Did Jesus Reject Judaism?Some have interpreted certain verses in the Gospels as rejections of Jewish belief and practice. In the Gospel of Mark, for example, Jesus is said to have declared forbidden foods “clean” — a verse commonly understood as a rejection of kosher dietary laws — but this is Mark’s extrapolation and not necessarily Jesus’ intention. Jesus and his earliest Jewish followers continued to follow Jewish law.
The New Testament also include numerous verses testifying to Jesus as equal to God and as divine — a belief hard to reconcile with Judaism’s insistence on God’s oneness. However, some Jews at the time found the idea that the divine could take on human form compatible with their tradition. Others might have regarded Jesus as an angel, such as the “Angel of the Lord” who appears in Genesis 16,Genesis 22(in the burning bush) and elsewhere.
Are There Jewish Texts that Reference Jesus?Yes. The first-century Jewish historian Josephus mentions Jesus, although the major reference in his Antiquities of the Jews appears to have been edited and augmented by Christian scribes. There are a few references in the Talmud to “Yeshu,” which many authorities understand as referring to Jesus.
The Talmud tractate Sanhedrin originally recorded that Yeshu the Nazarene was hung on the eve of Passover for the crime of leading Jews astray. This reference was excised from later versions of the Talmud, most likely because of its use by Christians as a pretext for persecution.
In the medieval period, a work called Toledot Yeshu presented an alternative history of Jesus that rejects cardinal Christian beliefs. The work, which is not part of the canon of rabbinic literature, is not widely known.
Maimonides, in his Mishneh Torah, describes Jesus as the failed messiah foreseen by the prophet Daniel. Rather than redeeming Israel, Maimonides writes, Jesus caused Jews to be killed and exiled, changed the Torah and led the world to worship a false God.

President William Henry Harrison is my 17th cousin 1x removed. The ancestor who connect us as relatives is, Edward “Longshanks” King of England I (1239 – 1307), my 17th great grandfather.
Biography. William Henry Harrison (February 9, 1773 – April 4, 1841) was a United States military officer and politician who served just like the ninth president of the United States in 1841. He died of typhoid, pneumonia or paratyphoid fever 4 weeks into his term (the shortest tenure), becoming the first president to die in office. His death sparked a brief constitutional crisis concerning succession in the presidency, due to the Constitution was vague whether Vice President John Tyler should assume your office of president or merely execute the duties of one’s vacant office. Tyler declared constitutional mandate to execute the full powers and duties of the presidency and took the presidential oath of office, setting a necessary precedent for your orderly exchange of presidential power whenever the president leaves the office.
Harrison was a son of Founding Father Benjamin Harrison V and the paternal grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States. That was transpiring a final president born for being British subject in the Thirteen Colonies before the start of the Revolutionary War in 1775. During his early military career, he participated in the 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers, the United States military victory that effectively ended the Northwest Indian War. Later, he led a military force in opposition to Tecumseh’s Confederacy along at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, where he earned the nickname “Old Tippecanoe”. Joe promoted to major general in the Army within the War of 1812, and in 1813 led American infantry and cavalry with the Battle considering the Thames in Upper Canada.
Harrison began his political career in 1798 when he was appointed Secretary considering the Northwest Territory, and in 1799 joe elected just like the territory’s delegate in your home of Representatives. 24 months later, President John Adams named him governor of one’s new Indiana Territory, a post he held until 1812. When War of 1812, he transported to Ohio where he was elected to represent the state’s 1st district at home in 1816. In 1824, the shape legislature elected him towards the United States Senate; his term was truncated by his appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary to Gran Colombia in May 1828. Afterward, he came back to private life in Ohio until that was transpiring nominated like the Whig Party candidate for president in the 1836 election; that was transpiring defeated by Democratic vice president Martin Van Buren. A period of four years later, the party nominated him again with John Tyler as his running mate, and the Whig campaign slogan was “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too”. They defeated Van Buren within the 1840 election, making Harrison the very first Whig to win the presidency.
At 68 years, 23 times of age at the time of his inauguration, Harrison was the oldest person to have assumed the U.S. presidency, a distinction he held until 1981 when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated at age 69 years, 349 days. Resulting from his brief tenure, scholars and historians often forgo listing him in historic presidential rankings. Having said that, historian William W. Freehling calls him ” by far the most dominant figure inside the evolution of given Northwest territories directly into Upper Midwest today”.

President Warren G. Harding is my 17th cousin 3x removed. The ancestor who connects us as relatives is Hugh de Audley (1250 – 1325), my 16th great grandfather.
Biography. Warren Gamaliel Harding (November 2, 1865 –August 2, 1923) was the 29th president of the United States from 1921 until his death in 1923. A member of the Republican Party, joe perhaps one of the most popular U.S. presidents to this point. After his death a number of scandals, such as Teapot Dome, emerged, as did his extramarital affair with Nan Britton; each eroded his popular regard. He is often rated as someone of a given worst presidents in historical rankings.
Harding lived in rural Ohio all his life, except when political service took him elsewhere. As a young man, he bought The Marion Star and built it into a beneficial newspaper. In 1899, he cannot be charge with illegal trespass elected in the Ohio State Senate; he spent a period of four years there, then was elected lieutenant governor. He was defeated for governor in 1910, but was elected towards the United States Senate in 1914. He ran when it comes to the Republican nomination for president in 1920, and he was believed an endless shot for after the convention began. The most important candidates cannot gain the needed majority, plus the convention deadlocked. Harding’s support gradually grew until he cannot be charge with illegal trespass nominated located on the tenth ballot. He conducted a front campaign, remaining for the most part in Marion and allowing the online marketer reached him, and running on a theme of a new return to normalcy of one’s pre-World War I period. He won in a landslide over Democrat James M. Cox as well as having the then imprisoned Socialist Party candidate Eugene Debs turned out to become the first sitting senator to actually be elected president.
Harding appointed a number of well-regarded figures to his cabinet, including Andrew Mellon at Treasury, Herbert Hoover with the Department of Commerce, and Charles Evans Hughes at the State Department. An important foreign policy achievement came with the Washington Naval Conference of 1921–1922, where in world’s major naval powers agreed upon a naval limitations program that lasted years. Harding released political prisoners that had been arrested for their opposition to Ww 1. His cabinet members Albert B. Fall (Interior Secretary) and Harry Daugherty (Attorney General) were each later tried for corruption in office; these along with other scandals greatly damaged Harding’s posthumous reputation. Harding died of a heart attack in New york while on a western tour, succeeded by Vice President Calvin Coolidge.
