If the median price of a home in the U.S.A. is $347,716 and the average debt per taxpayer is $323,045 then could most American taxpayers get a free house of slightly below the median value if their tax debt was forgiven

"It appears that a considerable number of Ashkenazi Jews traditionally regarded Christian blood as having powerful magical properties and considered it a very valuable component of certain important ritual observances at particular religious holidays. Obviously, obtaining such blood in large amounts was fraught with considerable risk, which greatly enhanced its monetary value, and the trade in the vials of that precious commodity seems to have been widely practiced"

how duolingo achieved a 50:50 gender ratio for new software engineer hires...

The national average of female computer science degree graduates is 18%.[2] We made a decision to revisit our typical list of schools and only visit the universities that had more than 18% of female undergraduate computer science majors. We wanted to prioritize schools that were making gender balance a priority...

a woman is part of every hiring panel

Even more impressive is Harvey Mudd College. Both Adolfie and Saujani noted that the school redesigned its computer science curriculum in order to make it more fun and to incorporate more group projects. This resulted in women comprising 55% of computer science majors, up from around just 10% in about the last 10 years, according to the Los Angeles Times.

If a countries representatives declare that "Israel" was naughty in it's treatment of people groups then that will do nothing to stop "Israel" from killing those people groups

"Israel" is literally attacking people with weapons & the people that are attacked do not use defensive force to fight back but only declare them naughty

If the countries representatives want to stop "Israel" from killing people who should not be killed the only way is for the representatives to declare war on "Israel"

A tradition conserved among the Jews of Djerba nearby states that the community was built of exiles after the Siege of Jerusalem in 597 BCE who had joined earlier Jews living there, that the el Ghriba Synagogue has an equally ancient date, and that some of this community assisted the Phoenicians in establishing Carthage.[7]

sources describe and criticize the Carthaginians as engaging in the practice of sacrificing children by burning.[12]

Plutarch (c. 46–120 CE) also mentions the practice:

... with full knowledge and understanding they themselves offered up their own children, and those who had no children would buy little ones from poor people and cut their throats as if they were so many lambs or young birds; meanwhile the mother stood by without a tear or moan; but should she utter a single moan or let fall a single tear, she had to forfeit the money, and her child was sacrificed nevertheless

In Phoenician sites throughout the Western Mediterranean except in the Iberian Peninsula and Ibiza, archaeology has revealed fields full of buried urns containing the burnt remains of human infants and lambs, covered by carved stone monuments.[34] These fields are conventionally referred to as "tophets" by archaeologists, after the location in the Bible.

A holocaust is a religious animal sacrifice that is completely consumed by fire, also known as a burnt offering. The word derives from the ancient Greek holokaustos, the form of sacrifice in which the victim was reduced to ash, as distinguished from an animal sacrifice that resulted in a communal meal.

Offerings to Yahweh in Jewish ritual recorded in the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud are done by fire.[38]

Has anyone prior to Joe Biden given out "preemptive pardons" in the history of the United States of America?
