WRONG.
1)
Inflation is primarily because of the cost of energy, principally oil, & that was cost by Biden’s cutting oil & gas production by 30% and the closure of pipeline projects. Same thing happened in 1979. Fuel costs double and the cost of transport is in everything in the market.
2)
The second cause of inflation is too much money in the market because of Government, at the same time production worldwide has not yet fully opened and the delays in reopening and building inventories.
3)
The mistake started with stimulus payments to the whole population rather than focus on those out of work and having no income.
4)
And the third cause is a lack of confidence in the future and in government that seems more interest in power and control than in rational solutions to problems.

1)
A weak deal that will do nothing to stop Iranian nuclear ambitions, nothing to protect the rest of the region from Iranian ambitions. It will strengthen Islamic radicalism, strengthen Hezbollah, and force the rest of the region to arm and prepare with a degree of cooperation.

I find it interesting that when Jews try to explain anti-semitism, such as recent articles by a rather prominent Rabbi in the UK, explanations range from “well we’re different” to
1)
“anti-semites hate us because of the moral values of Torah”. Neither is really all that correct. After all, they cannot despise us for our moral values that we bring to the world when they claim to own them themselves as part of their claim to be our spiritual successors.
2)
There are really two reasons for anti-Semitism.
