It is a classic haters scenario. All problems in the world are to be blamed on the Jews.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2018 speculated that the Rothschild family may have used a laser beam from space to start a devastating California forest fire, as a means to profit from it.
The Republican Jewish Coalition said the latest revelation about anti-Semitic conspiracy theories embraced by Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene are “indefensible and unacceptable.”
In this instance it is part of the QAnon conspiracy theory group.
The best thing we can do is laugh at Greene’s nonsense.

Biden signs many executive orders during his first week in office
It’s been a whirlwind of action for President Joe Biden starting the very day he was inaugurated.
Just hours into the job, Joe Biden signed orders to rejoin the Paris climate accord, mandate masks in federal buildings and rescind the Keystone pipeline permit.
Then he in a round of executive orders, he extended moratoriums on evictions and student loan, rejoined the World Health Organization and expanded food assistance. Took action reopening enrollment on the federal Affordable Care Act exchanges as part of two health care executive actions that he signed Thursday, taking a step to help uninsured Americans that former President Donald Trump rejected.
He proposed a massive overhaul of immigration laws, including a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
All of his actions were all executive orders. Next come the hard part. Getting the congress to pass the legislation he wants. With Democratic Party control of both houses of congress, even though its very thin, we can expect the president to leave no stone unturned in obtaining the results he wants.
President Joe Biden’s Buy American program is a mistake. It is an assault on our allies. It is anti-competitive.
iPhones are made in China because the cost of making them in America would make them too expensive for most people. Actually the newest iPhones are too expensive for most people now.
More than 40 million American jobs depend on trade, and trade is critical to the success of many sectors of the U.S. economy.
98% of the roughly 300,000 U.S. companies that export are small and medium-sized businesses, and they account for one-third of U.S. merchandise exports, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
American imports totaled $2.614 trillion in goods in 2019.
Here are the top ten items imported items into the United States. My source in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
1. Machinery (including computers and hardware)– $386.4 billion
2. Electrical machinery– $367.1 billion
3. Vehicles and automobiles – $306.7 billion
4. Minerals, fuels, and oil– $241.4 billion
5. Pharmaceuticals– $116.3 billion
6. Medical equipment and supplies – $93.4 billion
7. Furniture, Lighting, and Signs – $72.1 billion
8. Plastics – $61.9 billion
9. Gems and precious metals– $60.8 billion
10. Organic chemicals – $54.6 billion
The total dollar value of every U.S. import translates to about $9,457 for every resident in the country.
The United States’ greatest trading partners are also those who provide the most of the country’s imports. Based solely on the strength of goods (not services), the most powerful nation in the world receives the most imports from China (18.2%), Mexico (14.4%), and Canada (12.7%). Rounding out the list of the top 10 United States imports are Japan, Germany, South Korea, Vietnam, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and France, accounting for approximately 23.9% of the rest of U.S.-bound imports.
Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Chile, and Brazil are also the largest importers of American-made food products, including horticultural goods, sugar, and tropical products unique the North American climate. Nearly $14 billion in food goods go to these countries each year.
The raw material to make those imported items costs the same whether they are purchased in the United State or elsewhere. It is the cost of labor that makes products manufactured in the United States more expensive. There is no way Americans will work for the low wages that are common so many countries around the world. Things are going to get even tougher as President Biden pushes for a $15 per hour minimum wage.
Vast productivity gains relating to increased use of automation and information technologies have helped U.S. manufacturers retain and in many areas enhance their global competitiveness in recent years, even as the number of Americans employed in manufacturing has declined since its peak in 1979.
The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates that exports of manufactured goods directly support more than 6 million U.S. manufacturing jobs—roughly half of all manufacturing employment.
Perhaps Biden’s efforts in his Buy American program is not a serious effort but is just saying the right thing politically. After all we should do everything we can to encourage companies to make their products in the United States.
In the end, we cannot turn our back on international trade. It is an inevitable part of the world in the 21st century. We simply need our elected leaders to prioritize initiatives to open foreign markets so that U.S. companies can sell more of our goods and services overseas. Trade can provide a path to jobs and prosperity if we have the courage to seize it.

Former Los Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander was sentenced Monday to 14 months in prison for lying to federal authorities about his dealings with a businessman who provided him $15,000 in secret cash payments and a debauched night in Las Vegas. “There’s simply no adequate explanation as to how he totally lost his moral compass and committed this crime,” said U.S. District Judge John F. Walter. Englander, 50, is the first person to be sentenced in a sprawling federal investigation into corruption at Los Angeles City Hall. He pleaded guilty in July to scheming to falsify material facts, a felony. “I’ve hurt the very people I love the most,” Englander said at his sentencing.
Englander is not alone in the corruption at the city LA City council. Former Councilman Jose Huizar is awaiting trial on bribery, racketeering and other charges on allegations of shaking down developers seeking approval for major downtown building projects. A former deputy mayor to Mayor Eric Garcetti Raymond Chan, and Huizar’s special assistant, George Esparza have wither been found guilty or are pleading guilty.
The troubling part of this story is that the LA city council has the power to grant construction permits. The advice of neighborhood councils, made up of the citizens, is ignored. Those councils are advisory and have no power to do anything in their communities.
How can this situation be resolved? Power should be given to every neighborhood council to administer everything from street repairs to tree trimming to parking enforcement. The councils should not be advisory. That would require changes so the city charter. Since the council members see their positions as fiefdoms they will fight any change in their power.
The First Dogs have entered the White House. Champ and Major Biden have moved into the White House. Both are German Shepherds. Champ is 12 years old. Major is 2 years old. Major is the first shelter dog to live in the White House.
Having two dogs myself I can tell you that they will soon be the bosses of the White House. That’s OK. Dogs always sense danger and they will be the likely protectors of Joe and Jill Biden.
The filibuster is Unfathomable, and Obscure. It is complicated and thereforeunderstood or known by only a few people.
Filibuster is a tactic used in the United States Senate to prevent a measure from being brought to a vote by means of obstruction. The most common form occurs when one or more senators attempt to delay or block a vote on a bill by extending debate on the measure.
The Senate can overcome a filibuster if it invokes cloture — a vote by 60 members of the Senate to place a 30-hour time limit on consideration of a bill or other matter.
Cloture, adopted as Rule 22 in 1917, used to require a two-thirds majority vote. However, due to the difficulty of obtaining a two-thirds vote, the Senate changed the rule in 1975 and reduced the number of votes required to three-fifths (or 60).
In 2005 Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist threatened to use the nuclear option to end Democratic-led filibusters of judicial nominees submitted by President George W. Bush. And in July 2013, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threatened its use to stop Republicans from filibustering President Barack Obama’s executive-branch nominees.
Senators have never successfully made good on their threat to invoke the nuclear option and bring an end to the filibuster, but if they did, it could have huge consequences for the future of the Senate and the ability to keep the majority in check.
In November 2013, Senate Democrats led byHarry Reid used the nuclear option to eliminate the 60-vote rule on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments. In April 2017, Senate Republicans led by Mitch McConnellextended the nuclear option to Supreme Court nominations in order to end debate on the nomination of Neil Gorsuch.[2][3]McConnell loves the filibuster when it suits his purpose.
Filibuster is called respect for the minority. And this is called democracy in America.

We are seeing the destruction of White Christian America as diversity of race, religions and sexual orientation that are being introduced by President Biden. The change won’t be easy for those White Christian’s. Their support of Donald Trump is an exemplar of what is likely to come in the coming years. Richard T. Hughes, a professor emeritus of religion at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles calls the coming change The Dying of Christian America in a Los Angeles Times opinion piece.
Here is a list of some Biden appointments of non-Christian members of his staff. Lots of of Blacks and Jews but many other races and religions.
Biden’s latest appointment of Dr. Rachel Levine as his assistant secretary of health sends a message and this is it. I don’t care anything about your zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. I care about your expertise.

All incoming presidents change the decor of the largely symbolic room to offer a sense of their personality and the type of presidency they hope to have. President Biden’s is notable for the sheer number of portraits and busts of well-known American historical figures.
