Awake Goy An alliance of Syrian Kurdish and Arab forces has managed to cut off the Daesh terror group’s main supply route to Turkey after encircling the Syrian border town of Manbij.
The Syrian Democrati Forces (SDF), a coalition of Kurdish, Arab, Assyrian, Armenian, and Turkmen fighters, backed by the People’s Protection Units (YPG), surrounded Manbij on Friday, said the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The SDF also blocked the road south of the town, which heads to Raqqah. The strategic city of Manbij, located in Syria’s Aleppo Province, is a key point along Daesh’s main supply line from the Turkish frontier to Raqqah.
Raqqa, on the northern bank of the Euphrates River, about 160 kilometers east of Aleppo, was overrun by Takfiri terrorists in March 2013, and in 2014 was proclaimed the center for most of the terrorists’ administrative and control tasks.
Syrian forces are now engaged in a military offensive to liberate the strategic town.
Daesh, however, still controls territory along the Turkish border with secondary roads to the frontier, but these are more dangerous and difficult to access, according to Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman.

Clinton’s campaign posted Obama’s 3-minute endorsement video on her Twitter feed just after Obama and Sanders met Thursday afternoon at the White House.
“I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” Obama said of Clinton, who ran against him in 2008 and served as his first secretary of state. “She’s got the courage, the compassion and the heart to get the job done.”

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Bernie Sanders said after meeting Thursday with President Barack Obama that he looked forward to working with Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump, but stopped short of quitting the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“Donald Trump would clearly to my mind and a majority of Americans would be a disaster,” Sanders said, speaking outside the White House following an hourlong meeting with Obama. “It is unbelievable to me that the Republican Party would have a candidate for president who makes bigotry or discrimination a cornerstone of his campaign.”
Clinton claimed the Democratic nomination on Tuesday after winning California and other state primaries, but Sanders, the Independent senator from Vermont and the first Jewish candidate to win major nominating contests, has yet to concede. Obama has also recognized Clinton as the nominee, and met with Sanders at the candidate’s request.

(JTA) — An Orthodox Jewish woman has gone to a federal appeals court in her lawsuit against a former employer with claims she was punished for taking off time for the Passover holiday.
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and the American Jewish Committee each filed a friend of the court brief on Tuesday with the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, on behalf of Susan Abeles, who retired involuntarily in 2013 after working for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority for 26 years. She was accused of being absent without leave on the last two days of Passover that year and suspended for five days without pay.
A federal district court in Virginia ruled against Abeles on April 1 on her lawsuit filed in May 2015.
In the suit, Abeles says she requested and received time off each year to observe Passover in accordance with her Orthodox Jewish beliefs and that in 2013, like every other year, she followed proper procedure, including giving ample notice and several reminders.

Canada’s Supreme Court has acquitted a British Columbia man of bestiality charges as under the country’s laws a sexual act with an animal can be found unlawful only in the case of it involving penetration.
The man, known only by initials DLW convicted of 13 counts of sexually assaulting his two stepdaughters over a 10-year period has successfully challenged a separate count of bestiality which, as it turns out, requires penetration for it to have been illegal.
The decision that was supported by all but one of the justices acquitted the man of forcing the family dog to take part in the sexual abuse of his stepdaughters, Reuters reported.
“Although bestiality was often subsumed in terms such as sodomy or buggery, penetration was the essence – ‘the defining act’ – of the offence,” the court said, according to the Independent.

35-year-old said to be deeply involved in Republican presidential candidate’s election drive — including vetting running mates
NEW YORK (AP) — A new power player has emerged among the feuding factions behind Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, one that through the bonds of marriage enjoys a direct line to the Republican billionaire.
Despite limited political experience and some family baggage, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is playing an active role in virtually every aspect of the New York real estate magnate’s presidential bid. And empowered through his marriage to Trump’s trusted daughter Ivanka Trump, the 35-year-old Kushner operates with an extraordinary level of autonomy within an organization now struggling to shift its focus toward the general election.
Kushner’s growing influence in recent weeks, as described by several people with direct knowledge of his role, has included the selection and vetting of potential running mates, planning for his father-in-law’s transition to the White House, the campaign’s nascent push to incorporate voter data into its strategy, fundraising, and the development of major policies. He also played a hand in writing Trump’s closely watched speech, delivered with the aid of a teleprompter, on Tuesday night meant to reassure jittery Republicans after the candidate’s attacks on a federal judge. Those confidants were not authorized to speak publicly.
The young businessman’s rise adds a new complication to an intense internal power struggle.
Kushner’s background has little to do with politics or public policy, as noted by internal campaign critics who worry he has too much power. Others described Kushner, while inexperienced, as a mild-mannered and valuable presence with helpful connections in the media world and across the Jewish community.

Despite all but losing his chance to vie against Trump, Sanders pledges to ‘continue the fight’ all the way to the convention
NEW YORK (AP) — Powered by a solid triumph in California, Hillary Clinton declared victory in her yearlong battle for the heart of the Democratic party, seizing her place in history and setting out on the difficult task of fusing a fractured party to confront Donald Trump.
Clinton cruised to easy victories in four of the six state contests on Tuesday. With each win she further solidified Sen. Bernie Sanders’ defeat and dashed his already slim chances of using the last night of state contests to refuel his flagging bid.
The much-needed winning streak allowed Clinton to celebrate her long-sought “milestone” — the first woman poised to lead a major political party’s presidential ticket. Standing before a flag-waving crowd in Brooklyn, the former secretary of state soaked up the cheers and beamed.
“Barriers can come down. Justice and equality can win,” she said. “This campaign is about making sure there are no ceilings, no limits on any of us. This is our moment to come together.”
