The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

...but are you serious about this? Or was this a bit of dark humor?

Yes.

Actually, I think what tipped me over the edge was seeing a clip of Hillary speaking at AIPAC. Her language was so servile I started to smell a rat. Since then, I have been commenting on "candidates for President, making their pilgrimage to AIPAC, to pledge fealty to Israel". As is often the case, I wondered if I was wrong, or just early. Now, it seems others are starting to catch up to me.

Open Secrets lists Hillary as the third highest recipient of Israeli lobbyist money at over $2.3M, in spite of her short stint in the Senate. #1 and #2 are Biden and Menendez, who were each in the Senate a lot longer.
