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.

Sounds good to me:

The second-in-command after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at the Department of Defense is Deputy Secretary of Defense (or Deputy Secretary of War) Steve Feinberg. [1] (war.gov - Deputy Secretary of War), [2] (en.wikipedia.org - United States Deputy Secretary of Defense)Role: The Deputy Secretary is the second-highest-ranking civilian official in the Department of Defense.

Yes, Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg is Jewish. He was born into a Jewish family in the Bronx and raised in New York. [1] (en.wikipedia.org - Steve Feinberg), [2] (timesofisrael.com - Trump picks billionaire stephen feinberg to be deputy defense secretary)Regarding his support for Israel:Political Alignment: As a major Republican donor and a key official in the Trump administration, Feinberg aligns with an administration that maintains a strongly pro-Israel foreign policy. [1] (en.wikipedia.org - Steve Feinberg)Public Record: Feinberg is famously reclusive and media-shy regarding his personal life and specific geopolitical views. He has not publicly issued standalone manifestos or extensive personal commentary regarding his stance on Israel. However, his alignment with the Pentagon's leadership and the broader administration reflects structural support for US-Israel defense cooperation.

Replying to wzambon

Thomas Massie is currently reading articles of impeachment on the House floor for Pete Hegseth.

May this be the first of many.
