(ANTIMEDIA) — As bizarre metal towers mysteriously appear at entrances to bridges and tunnels all over New York, the project remains shrouded in secrecy.

I have a recollection from when I was in high school in Brooklyn that some kids went to "the Yeshiva" and that it was a very good school-- like a high end academic school that taught all the stuff we learned in secular school plus the religious stuff from the Torah.

Muslims and Muslim sympathizers who are protesting President Trump in New York’s Times Square, were witness to a loud Arab call to prayer (adhan).
What any of this has to do with President Trump is beyond the realm of logic…but once triggered, it’s very difficult to reason with liberal left fanatics.
