Influencer Raised Nearly €500k For 'Needy Palestinians'

But splashed donations on expensive cars and Rolex watches, court hears.

(This is hilarious as far as I’m concerned. If you were dumbass enough to donate money to a scammer for Fakeistanians, lol.)

An influencer who raised nearly €500k while claiming to fundraise for Palestinians in need spent donations on expensive cars, luxury watches, and designer bags.
The 34-year-old, who goes by Abdel Hamid on social media, pocketed the money through 37 online appeals made between 2021 and October 2024, a court heard.
Hamid, from Germany, garnered hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram before using the platforms to promote his alleged fundraising.
But, only a fraction of the money actually went to those in need.
Hamid confessed to committing donation fraud during his trial at Düsseldorf Regional Court on Monday.
Following a fundraising appeal 'for Palestine,' he gained €78,000 and purchased a BMW for €71,600 shortly after.
In total, he has pocketed €497,090.31. (Approx. $586,000)
The influencer also collected social benefits from the job center and a separate investigation is underway for welfare fraud, according to Bild.
When he was arrested in October 2024, investigators reportedly seized €20,000 in cash, along with luxury handbags, Rolex watches, and a limousine that was towed away.
A €14,000 Rolex (GMT Master Batman) was seized from Abdel Hamid's sister's apartment, according to reports.
He himself had five Rolex watches, the authenticity of which is still being verified.
A suspected money laundering report had triggered the investigation.
Hamid is in custody and his trial is expected to continue on Thursday.

Rob Reiner Drives Himself Bonkers Post-Election, Checks Into A 'Facility'



The left really is having a difficult time coping with Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 elections. Some celebrities have even "moved out" of the country. On Wednesday evening, we learned that comedian and talk show host Ellen Degenerate and her partner Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England. It's not all that it seems, though, because they already owned the home in Great Britain. But they are selling their Montecito, Calif., estate.



Not all celebs who claimed to be worried about a Trump dictatorship are leaving the country, though. Most are just leaving X/Twitter. Over the past couple of weeks, we've seen a fairly steady stream of leftist personalities making a big production of the fact that they're leaving the Elon Musk-owned platform for the latest X-alternatve du jour: Bluesky. Personally, I find this hilarious because I thought the alternative platforms like Mastodon and the Meta-owned Threads were supposed to be the brave new left-wing echo chamber on social media.



The transition hasn't been going well. 



Filmmaker, producer, and actor Rob Reiner has made Bluesky his X-alternative of choice. He was hoping to rid himself of opposing viewpoints, and — well, he's finding that Trump supporters aren't making it easy for him to live in a left-wing echo chamber. 
"Anyone continuing to post hate towards me here will be blocked," he posted on the platform on Saturday. "I escaped the other place for a more peaceful time."



"I’m finding it very hard to sleep these days. It is 3:15 am," he posted later. "I am laying awake dreading January 20th 2025.

"

The situation wasn't looking good on Sunday when he announced, "I have big decisions to make. For the good of myself, my family, and my country." Things seemed better the following day, when he announced, "After much discussion and heated debate with family, friends and colleagues I have decided for my own sanity and health moving forward to accept what is coming."He added, "We have no choice and as Americans we must hope and allow Trump after all these years of division to Unite these states of America." Aren't you proud? 



Reiner later declared that to help get through the next Trump administration, he would be focusing his time "on family and work" and revealed he's in the process of adapting a new script he is "extremely passionate about." However, he must be addicted to social media, and his inability to escape people who disagree with his politics has driven him over the edge. Here are some of his recent posts:



Rob Reiner @robreiner.bsky.social • 

All the abuse and hate from Twitter has now spewed over to here. There seems to be no point anymore.



Rob Reiner @robreiner.bsky.social •

Donald Trump thinks he has gathered together what he claims are his superheroes. The only superheroes I see are the democrats who stand for democracy. (DEMOCRACY? (does that mean One-party rule that only represents half the country")



Rob Reiner @robreiner.bsky.social • 

The Democratic Party is a party of truth, honesty and respectability. Republicans are the party of hate, dishonesty and misinformation.



Rob Reiner @robreiner.bsky.social • 

Republicans have no idea what they have done. America has fallen. MAGA just do not understand the consequences of electing a fascist like Donald Trump.



Rob Reiner @robreiner.bsky.social • 

This platform is vile, racist and evil. It did not take long for MAGA scum to come spread their lies.



Rob Reiner @robreiner.bsky.social • 

Ellen DeGeneres whom I have known a long time and is a beautiful and caring woman had the right idea. She obviously does not want to be apart of a place that is filled with hate, evil and fascism. Much respect to her for standing up to madness.



And finally, his last post:



Rob Reiner @robreiner.bsky.social • 

I have made the decision to take the next few days to check into a facility for peace and relaxation. No phones, social media , no trolls, just calmness to heal my pain.



So, there you have it. Rob Reiner has driven himself bonkers, and voluntarily checked himself into a nuthouse.  
 
This is what happens when leftists convince themselves that Trump is a fascist dictator. Rob Reiner has gone so far as to check into a “facility for peace and relaxation” because he simply can’t handle the reality of Trump’s victory. Sure, I wasn’t thrilled when Barack Obama won in 2008 or when he was reelected in 2012. The 2020 election wasn’t exactly a highlight, either. But you know what? I didn’t let it drive me to the brink. It’s already absurd that some celebrities are fleeing the country over Trump’s win, but checking into a mental health facility over an election? It shows just how unhinged the radical left has become.

Two Girls Just Missing Their Chance To Cull The Herd

 What is it with these kids today who will risk their lives doing stupid shit for clicks on social media from people who don't give a shit if they live or die ...

It doesn’t always work out that well.

Caution: Disturbing Scenes

A girl had a friend making a video in Thailand. Leaning out of a moving train, she hit her head on a metal post and fell on the side of the train platform, luckily, before she reached the next post.
She was later released from the hospital with minor injuries.

One thing Komrade Kamala didn’t lie about in the debate was the fact that she thinks ‘free speech’ is a privilege … the only reason why she didn’t lie about it is because NBC was smart enough to not bring it up.

I post 95% political stuff which is why I have so few friends on Facebook, but the ones I have are loyal.

I'm having a hard time understanding how Jeffery Toobin can even stand to be seen in public much less express an opinion on social media ... I can understand though, him appearing on CNN or MSNBC because there are no moral issues to hide behind there ...

Trump's net worth surges to $6.4 BILLION to make him one of the world's 500 richest people for the first time after he completed his social media company's lucrative merger.

Donald Trump's net worth is shooting up even as he is forced to assemble piles of cash to pay court judgments – now climbing onto at least one coveted billionaire's list.
The former president's net worth has climbed to $6.4 billion following last week's announcement that Digital World Acquisition shareholders voted the special purpose acquisition company to merge with the Trump firm that owns his Truth Social platform.
After a jump in its stock price, Trump's net worth jumped by an astonishing $4 billion – which comes on top of his golf, real estate, and branding empire.
The timing couldn't be better for Trump, says he has almost $500 million in cash and has 10 days to come up with $175 million after a New York appeals court slashed a $454 court judgment against him.
Even that lesser amount could be a pinch. Trump recently posted bond for a $91 million payment in the E. Jean Carrol defamation case. He must pay both amounts pending his appeals of verdicts against him.
Trump already has an empire that includes golf properties in Florida and Scotland, plus buildings including Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street, where Trump on Monday held a wild press conference where he said he would use cash, securities, or a bond to pay the $175 million amount.
Even with that outlay, Bloomberg added Trump to its list of the world's 500 richest people.
The main driver was the stock price of the merged company, which will be publicly traded on the NASDAQ starting Tuesday.

Maui Fire: FEMA Demanded Responders Stop Posting Images And Videos.
Narrative control.

FEMA sent out letters to first responders and relief workers in Maui demanding that they stop posting images and videos of the charred disaster area on social media citing “cultural sensitivity.”
“They are asking for a full stop in disaster imagery going forward,” the letter from Justin Angel Knighten of FEMA notes, referring to local officials.
“At this time, we have not been asked to take any photos or videos down. Our team on the ground is coordinating with the County for further guidance to ensure we remain fully aligned. Cultural sensitivity is of the utmost importance in all our response and recovery activities to this disaster,” the letter further states.
The revelation has raised yet more questions over both the local and federal government’s responses.
Sirens were not sounded and water to fight fires was not dispatched upon request.
Top emergency officials in charge of the wildfire response were not even on the island as the fires blazed and were not informed for five hours because they were attending a FEMA disaster preparedness meeting on the neighbouring island of Oahu.
As we noted yesterday, the Associated Press reported Wednesday that residents of Lahaina were prevented from escaping the horrific wildfire by barricades that were put up after electric poles were downed and crews attempted to repair them.
Further reports suggest that Hawaiian Electric may have removed evidence from the scene.
Meanwhile, FEMA agents are shacking up in 5-star luxury beachfront resorts in Maui amid the agency’s botched handling of the deadly wildfire disaster.
