Our statistics would indicate that for a group that represents only about 2.4% of the American public, they [Jews] account for something like 60% of all religious-based hate crimes,” FBI Director Wray said.

"The Irishman," a film with great actors at every turn, and said to be a Scorsese triumph, was released in theaters at over 3.5 hours long. It did not do well and went to Netflix, its original producer, in a month. It cost over $200 million to make and grossed about $8 million.

Yellin' at Yellen
Every once in a while, rarely, government experts come under scrutiny.
Yellen, who was appointed Treasury secretary in January 2021, should have issued more long-dated government bonds before the Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates early last year, Druckenmiller says. The billionaire investor and head of Duquesne Family Office made the comments to elite trader Paul Tudor Jones during a fireside chat at a recent Robin Hood Foundation event.
"When rates were practically zero, every Tom, Dick, Harry, and Mary in the United States refinanced their mortgage," Druckenmiller said. "Unfortunately we had one entity that did not, and that was the US Treasury."
"I literally think if you go back to Alexander Hamilton, it was the biggest blunder in the history of the Treasury. I have no idea why she's not been called out on this, she has no right to still be in that job after that," Druckenmiller said.

This kind of example runs the risk of exposing That-Which-May-Not-Be-Mentioned: these failures, like the border problem or the deficit, are not evidence of competing philosophies and disagreements, they are evidence that these people are over their heads. We have deferred our problems to people who simply cannot manage them.
Our only salvation is that the country's predatory enemies are led by people at least as stupid.
