Brooklyn Attorney Dan Goldstein Harasses Ivanka Trump

From Heavy:

Dan Goldstein is a Brooklyn attorney who reportedly yelled at Ivanka Trump on a JetBlue flight from New York to Palm Beach on December 22. He ended up getting kicked off the flight, which was delayed because of his behavior. His husband, Matthew Lasner, tweeted about the incident, but later deleted his messages and then his entire Twitter page.

JetBlue issued a statement, confirming that passengers were removed from the flight and given another flight to reach their destination. ABC News reports that the flight was delayed.

Here’s what we know so far about the incident and a look at Goldstein’s career.

Ivanka was traveling to Florida with her three children and husband Jared Kushner on a commercial flight and sat in coach with the other passengers. TMZ reports that Goldstein yelled at her, “Your father is ruining this country.”

Goldstein, who was carrying his son, then yelled, “Why is she on our flight. She should be flying private.”

JetBlue flight attendants overheard the incident and removed Goldstein, Lasner and their son from the flight. “You’re kicking me off for expressing my opinion?” Goldstein yelled, according to a passenger who spoke with TMZ.

An hour before the flight was supposed to take off, Lasner tweeted that Goldstein was “chasing” Ivanka and Kushener “down to harass them,” adding “#banalityofevil.”

However, in his next tweet, Lasner changed his story. “My husband expressed displeasure in a calm tone, JetBlue staff overheard, and they kicked us off the plane,” Lasner wrote…

WP: Surge in foreign students may be crowding Americans out of elite colleges

Washington Post:

U.S. applicants to elite schools are largely unaware of the growth of international enrollment and what it could mean for their chances, said Bruce Vinik, an admission consultant in Montgomery County, Md. He said the subject could draw “pretty strong” reactions from students anxious about whether their top-choice schools will accept or reject them.

Comments:

* I hope there is an equally strong reaction from the parents, i.e. people who can vote and give money to pro-American political candidates.

* My first reaction was that it was because of the money made from foreign students, but the article decisively nixxed that.

This caught my eye though:

“Yale’s push to globalize accelerated after the school celebrated its tricentennial in 2001. The university is one of a few to say that it considers all applications, domestic and foreign, without regard to financial need and meets full need for all who enroll.

“A big advantage for us from a marketing perspective,” said Dean of Admissions Jeremiah Quinlan.

Several international students said they applied to Yale because of that policy. The full price of tuition, fees, room and board exceeds $65,000 a year. That doesn’t include plane tickets and other expenses.”

So not only do you get the passwords and secret handshakes to be admitted to the places where the real money is made (Wall Street, some others), you also have less debt than if you went to one of the really good public or competing private schools?

Tempe couple finds burglary suspect in home holding their baby with his pants sagged down

News: TEMPE, AZ – New disturbing information has been released after a man a broke into a Tempe home and held the couple’s baby.

Police arrested Oren Aharon Cohen, 35, after he broke into a home and was found holding a 2-year-old girl in the living room of the apartment near Warner Road and Priest Drive in Tempe.

Court paperwork indicated the father of the victim woke up to strange noises and discovered Cohen in the living room with his pants sagged down holding the child.

When the father approached the suspect, he told him, “I am your friend,” before quickly throwing the child and trying to flee.

According to police, the father tried to detain Cohen and the two got into an altercation that lasted roughly 10 minutes.

Cohen was able to flee the apartment, but was caught and held by the father in the parking lot of the apartment complex until police arrived and arrested him.

Investigators say Cohen told them he was “black out drunk” and wanted to return to Israel; Cohen was in the United States with a valid passport, but is not a U.S. citizen.

Dylan Roof’s Manifesto

Comments:

* I read Dylan Roof’s ‘manifesto’. Other than a few spelling errors (which he admitted to not having the time to correct) it was a well written piece arguing the state of race relations in the United States today. Roof, it should be noted, was a 21 year old high school dropout yet his writing was at least the equal of Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis which I have also read.

I think Roof’s crime was horrible. Middle aged and elderly black church goers are not the Trayvon Martins that drove Roof’s racial animus. What’s remarkable is that a self taught lower middle class white high school drop out can make a cogent case for his actions that is hard to refute.
