George Norcross, 67, was called as recently as 2023 New Jersey's 'most powerful unelected individual'
Norcross was kicked out of Sunday's Philadelphia Eagles game against the Dallas Cowboys for flying a half-American/half-Israeli flag outside his suite
Earlier in the day, on a televised pre-game show, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stood for an interview with a reporter where the same flag was displayed prominently in the background.
According to New Jersey Globe reporter David Wildstein, it may have come from Norcross himself, as he frequently hosts a tailgate prior to Philadelphia Eagles games.
Lincoln Financial Field, where the Eagles play, has no specific policy against the flag but does have rules regarding signs and banners.
'Signs, banners or similar items that are obscene or indecent, not event-related, potentially offensive to other patrons, capable of blocking the views of other fans or otherwise deemed dangerous or inappropriate by the Eagles are prohibited,' their 2014 guidelines state.
'Lincoln Financial Field reserves the right to confiscate signs that are in violation of stadium policy.'
Only America's top flight soccer league, Major League Soccer, has reacted to the shock Hamas attack that killed 1,400 Israelis on October 7 with a policy specific to Israeli and Palestinian flags.
The league changed its fan code of conduct to temporarily ban 'flags representing a country or nationality at MLS matches.'
Norcross has recently stepped back from throwing his political weight around after decades as an organizer, fundraiser and activist for Democratic Party politics.
The New York Times notes, however, that he often 'blurred the lines' between Democrats and Republicans, with a close friendship with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a membership to Mar-a-Lago.
His family's support for Israel was made clear when brother Donald Norcross, a Democrat and member of the House of Representatives, went with a Congressional delegation to Tel Aviv just three days after the October 7 attack.

[KavkazUzel] Shahri Amirkhanova, the granddaughter of the Dagestani poet Rasul Gamzatov, said she was proud to receive Israeli citizenship. This statement, made against the background of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, caused sharp criticism among VKontakte users.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, Muslims of the North Caucasus reacted sharply to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on October 28 that thousands of participants participated in prayers for the Palestinians. You can read about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.”
At the same time, on October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers. The criminal case of mass riots has been transferred to Moscow investigators. 201 people were detained for participation in the riots , administrative protocols were drawn up for 155 detainees, police reported on November 5.
The granddaughter of the Dagestani poet Rasul Gamzatov, Shahri Amirkhanova, reported on social networks that she had received an Israeli passport and noted that she was surprised and proud of it, Vesti.Ru reports today. “Thank you for welcoming me with love in my new home,” the publication quotes Amirkhanova as saying.
Gamzatov's granddaughter left Russia in February 2023; she was the editor-in-chief of the Russian versions of Tatler and Harper's Bazaar magazines, the publication writes.
In July 2021, Vladimir Putin signed a decree to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Rasul Gamzatov in 2023. The "Caucasian Knot" published a biographical information about Rasul Gamzatov.
The message that Gamzatov’s granddaughter has received Israeli citizenship was posted today in the “Atypical Makhachkala” community, which is subscribed to by 994 thousand VKontakte users.
The authors of most comments condemned the act of the poet’s granddaughter. “Oh, [derogatory word], you still have to come back, and how will you look Dagestan in the eyes,” wrote, in particular, the user Murdered Soul .
“One [offensive word] less,” said Arkady Davydov . “Another [offensive word] has left Dagestan,” wrote Muhammad Abu Khalid Muslim. “Stay there,” Zuri Azaeva wished Amirkhanova in absentia.
“I could not speak, in fact, I changed and changed my citizenship, but here I declare on social networks, it looks like a provocation,” noted Rusik Gadjiev . “Well, war will always put everything in its place, who is a patriot and who is a traitor,” expressed the opinion of Arthur Gadzhimagomedov.
“Well, how can we understand such Muslim women? Doesn’t she know how people die at the hands of the Israelis? She writes this brazenly, mockingly,” Patimat Magomedova was indignant.
Let us recall that from October 26 to 29, mass anti-Semitic actions took place in the cities of three republics of the North Caucasus Federal District. In Cherkessk, protesters demanded that visitors from Israel not be allowed in, and in Nalchik a cultural center was set on fire. In Khasavyurt, Dagestan, hundreds of people gathered at a hotel after messages on social networks that there were refugees from Israel in this hotel, according to the Caucasian Knot report “ Anti-Semitic actions in the North Caucasus: how it happened .” The Caucasian Knot has also prepared a report entitled “ A Wave of Anti-Semitic Actions in the North Caucasus.”
The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching a military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides .
The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist, in particular, in the United States and the European Union. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A transgender Antifa 'terrorist' was seen dancing into court this morning - as she and 21 others are arraigned for terrorizing a proposed $90million police training center in Atlanta.
James 'Jamie' Marsicano, 29, is charged with domestic terrorism after rioters burned construction vehicles and attacked police officers with fireworks and Molotov cocktails at the site of the future Atlanta Police Safety Training Center on March 5.
She is also facing a charge for violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act - along with 60 others. The indictment was filed by the state's Attorney General, Chris Carr.
Marsicano pranced around in a black skirt, gray cardigan, and red scarf
...the poor man is unattractive whether presenting as male or female...
as she arrived at Fulton County Courthouse Monday - flanked by supporters holding 'drop the charges' signs.
The police department released video showing a mob of around 150 people with masks covering their faces march through scrub and woodland around the proposed $90million center before unleashing havoc and setting fire to a power line.
Police officers protecting the site were forced to stand off as the attackers overran the site and targeted machinery. They were then pelted with rocks and fireworks by the thugs. In the aftermath, 23 people including Mariscano and Thomas Webb Jurgens, 28, an attorney for the hard-left Southern Poverty Law Center, were arrested.
They have since defended their actions, arguing that the 381 acres of Weelaunee Forest where the police training center is being built is 'stolen Muscogee land' and that the creation would mean the destruction of wildlife and forestry.
Mariscano is an outspoken anti-police advocate who was in her first year of law school at North Carolina School of Law - as well as being the daughter of a millionaire North Carolina businessman. Her father, Michael Mariscano, was previously heralded as Charlotte, North Carolina's 'most powerful person' for running a foundation worth $4 billion.
She is being held on domestic terrorism charges without bail, along with 21 of her cohorts as they were just trying to defend the public forest.
Jamie has described herself publicly as an anti-police advocate who would like to dismantle the prison system. A profile for the nearly 30-year-old on the National Lawyers Guild website describes her as a 'queer and trans organizer from Charlotte, North Carolina.'
It says that before she started law school this year, 'Jamie worked with mutual aid collective Charlotte Uprising
...yet another tentacle of the Antifa/Black Bloc anarchocommunist octopus that are the shock troops of the Democratic Party...
to start a grassroots community bail fund that raises money to bail people out of jail and support them through court, regardless of charge.
'Jamie believes that no one should be in a cage, and dreams of a world where we can prevent and respond to harm in our communities without relying on prisons or police,' the profile continues.
She has previously had warrants out for her arrests at other demonstrations in North Carolina, where her father is a well-known philanthropist.
Michael Mariscano served for 23 years as president and CEO of the Foundation for the Carolinas — a Charlotte-based organization that increases charitable giving and improves communities with civic leadership opportunities — before he retired in January.
Michael was so respected amongst the political leaders in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County that they proclaimed this past October 24 'Michael Mariscano Day.'
In a proclamation at the time, government officials cited his long- term role as a fundraiser across the region, raising half a billion dollars since just 2019.
He also served on the Duke University Board of Trustees, the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce and the UNC Charlotte Foundation.

The photos and video of Jamie at the link remind me of the many times our high school football team went on stage for various talent shows dressed as the cheerleading squad.
But they didn’t take any of it seriously. And sadly, there is no point in telling Jamie that effeminate isn’t the least bit feminine.

[GEO.TV] The Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) have agreed to work together to save the state by taking important decisions, it emerged on Monday.
The development came during a telephonic conversation between PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif ...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts... and PPP Co-chairperson Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari ...former president of Pakistain, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in... , according to sources.
The PPP leader congratulated the PML-N supremo on his return to the country on October 21 after ending a four-year self-imposed exile in London.
Both the leaders agreed that all stakeholders will play their role in saving the state, the sources added.
The leaders of two major political parties of the country also agreed to take important decisions to provide relief to the inflation-hit masses.
The insiders said a huddle between the political heavyweights is likely to take place soon as they both invited each other to hold the meeting.
The conversation between the politicians came as both parties directed their workers to start preparing for general elections slated to be held on February 8 next year.
The two parties were also coalition partners in the last Pakistain Democratic Movement (PDM)-led government, which was formed after the ouster of former prime minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders... from power.
Meanwhile, ...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Big Shirley was still trying to snatch Nunzio bald-headed. She was already halfway there... speaking to the media in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , PPP Chairman Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari said the telephonic conversation between the two leaders took place last month following Nawaz's return to the country.
"This has been reported today but it's old news..PPP's doors are open to all political parties and this should not be a very big development," the PPP chief said while responding to a question.

[IS National News] The South African government announced today (Monday) that it was recalling its ambassador and entire diplomatic mission to the Jewish State in protest against Israel's attempts to defend itself from the Hamas terrorist organization following the October 7 massacre.
Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lior Haiat stated in response to the South African move: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs fully supports the Israeli Ambassador in South Africa, who represents the position of the Israeli government and the people of Israel while Israel is fighting a murderous terrorist organization that calls for its destruction."
"The South African government's decision to recall its diplomatic staff is a victory for the Hamas terrorist organization and rewards it for the massacre it carried out on October 7, during which Hamas terrorists murdered over 1400 people and kidnapped 241. Israel expects South Africa to condemn Hamas, which is worse than ISIS, and to respect Israel's right to defend itself against an attack by a horrific terrorist organization that has engraved on its flag a call for the destruction of the State of Israel," Haiat added.
Estimates suggest some of Hamas's leaders have a net worth in the billions
Israel and other critics accuse the group of spending money on luxuries instead of helping the people of Gaza
But as the territory's 2.3million people suffer, several hundred millionaires are registered in the coastal Strip.
And while the majority of citizens in the densely populated territory - which is a quarter of the size of Greater London - languish in poverty, a select few live in marble-floored mansions and luxury hotels.
According to the Embassy of Israel in the US, three of Hamas's most senior leaders - Mousa Abu Marzouk, Khaled Mashal and Ismail Haniyeh - have net worths of more than $3billion each. The embassy also claims that Hamas's annual turnover is $1billion and suggests the group is second only to ISIS as the world's richest terror group.

Even before the outbreak of war in the wake of Hamas's October 7 terror attack on Israel, half of Palestinians living in Gaza depended on food supplied by the United Nations.
UN is always happy to support anyone who kills Jews.
