USDA Extends Free Meals for Kids Through December 31, 2020 (this is not the regular school lunch but the summer program.)
Summer meal programs can continue operating as funding allows
(Washington, DC, August 31, 2020) – Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will extend several flexibilities through as late as December 31, 2020. The flexibilities allow summer meal program operators to continue serving free meals to all children into the fall months. This unprecedented move will help ensure – no matter what the situation is on-the-ground – children have access to nutritious food as the country recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. USDA has been and continues to be committed to using the Congressionally appropriated funding that has been made available.

Democrat Insider Details Mail-In Voting Fraud Operation in NJ Elections
“There is no race in New Jersey — from City Council to United States Senate — that we haven’t worked on,” the operative told the New York Post. “I worked on a fire commissioner’s race in Burlington County. The smaller the race the easier it is to do.”
Breitbart: A Democrat operative is telling all about the massive voter fraud operation deployed to rig elections for Democrats through paying homeless voters off, taking advantage of the elderly, posing as registered voters, and printing up fake ballots. An exclusive report by the New York Post‘s Jon Levine tells the stories of a Democrat operative who has personally led a staff to produce false election results via voter fraud for years now — a scheme that he suggests will be utilized in the upcoming local, state, congressional, and presidential elections on November 3:
“This is a real thing,” he said. “And there is going to be a ... war coming November 3rd over this stuff … If they knew how the sausage was made, they could fix it.” [Emphasis added]
In one story, the operative explained how he and his staff make fake mail-in ballots by simply running ballots sent to registered voters through a copy machine. The envelopes used for the ballots, though, are much more difficult to recreate, so instead his staff goes door-to-door convincing voters to let them deliver their mail-in ballots for them.

A Call to Stem Covid19 Uptick With Safe Simchos and Gatherings
Public statement from Agudath Israel Of America - August 30 2020
Nationally, in recent days and weeks, Agudath Israel of America has received concurrent reports of an uptick in COVID-19 cases in communities in Lakewood, Cleveland, Rockland County, Five Towns, Brooklyn, Passaic, and Baltimore. With yeshivos imminently reopening for the school year, it is critical to bring this trend under control. For months, COVID-19 rates in many areas have, boruch Hashem, been low. But our communities are tight-knit and closely linked. Therefore, trends within our communities must be closely and holistically monitored, and every community must remain vigilant to protect all our communities. Kol Yisroel areivim zeh ba’zeh.
Simchos are wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime events. But we must conduct them legally and safely. We must minimize the above factors to protect all our communities.

A number of people have called my attention to an anti-Agudath Israel screed that was recently published as an op-ed column in a Jewish periodical. The article defames Rabbi Moshe Sherer z’l, distorts the words of my colleague Rabbi Avi Shafran, and slanders the Agudah. I feel I must respond.

NJ Gas tax to Increase by 9.3 cents a Gallon in October Due to Coronavirus
The New Jersey gas tax will jump as the state says tries to dig itself out of a financial hole causes by the coronavirus crisis, officials announced on Friday.
The Department of the Treasury announced on Friday that lower fuel consumption trends, which have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, will necessitate a gas tax increase of 9.3 cents per gallon. Due to the formula explicitly outlined in the law, the tax rate on gasoline and diesel fuel will increase on Oct. 1 from 30.9 cents to 40.2 cents for gasoline and from 34.9 cents to 44.2 cents for diesel fuel, officials said.
When coupled with the current 10.5 cent motor fuels tax rate on gasoline and the 13.5 cent rate for diesel fuel, the total tax rates for gasoline and diesel fuel will be 50.7 cents and 57.7 cents, respectively.

JHS: Great American Jewish Cities - Los Angeles
The rich Jewish past of Tinseltown is worth at least a full length feature. The architects of Hollywood were Jewish immigrants, who were joined by many talented Jews heading west, who created an entire industry and cultural revolution.
Orthodox Judaism took a bit longer to strike roots, but Rabbi Simon Dolgin and other intrepid pioneers planted the first seeds which blossomed with the arrival of many survivors in the post war era. From Beth Jacob to YICC, from Toras Emes to YULA, from Venice Beach to Pico Robertson, LA has a Jewish story to tell.

The Folly of the Frum Never Trumpers
Yated Ne'eman The Folly of the Frum Never Trumpers
This article is printed in the current issue if Yated.
By Rabbi Avrohom Birnbaum - Aug 5, 2020
Never Trumpers, Conservatives who would rather have anyone running the country – even the strong progressive wing of the party led by the likes of AOC – other than President Trump, are primarily longtime Conservative pundits. Some are has-beens, who are pining after their glory days. Some are rigid baalei shitah who cannot tolerate veering from the script with which they define Conservatism. President Trump is a person not bound to ideology, but rather to pragmatism. He is also a tremendous disrupter of the old order. That irks them to no end.

Lakewood Officials Blame JCP&L for Lack Of Planing and Manpower
Lakewood township committee calls out JCP&L for not having enough manpower and not planning ahead for the storm. The mayor said that when there's a forecast of a snow storm they dont wait for 8 feet on the ground before calling in the plows. Township offered to have a tree cutting crew at every location of downed trees but the utility company did not have enough linemen to dispatch. Despite millions of dollars in upgrades the utility does not have enough manpower. Committeeman Ackerman said JCP&L is not under our control. The committee intends to let the BPU and jcpl know of their frustrations and hope to have it fixed one day.
