The Iran Deal and normal Americans.

West Rogers Park in Chicago is well-known as a very Jewish neighborhood. There are lots of kosher restaurants, synagogues, Jewish schools, and stores that supply religious and kosher goods.

Americans have an almost preternatural sense of fairness. When Rosie Ruiz was outed for running only part of the course in order to “win” the city’s famous marathon, she became a pariah forever. Normal Americans—not those fake socialists and jealous losers—are happy for Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire and 4,400 of his colleagues becoming millionaires (including 400 at over $100 million each). There is no smell around SpaceX as there was with Microsoft when it was growing quickly during the last century. Musk put in a lot of his own money and saw many rockets blow up or fall sideways before he started to land them regularly and even catch them on the launch pad.

Whether it was the Marine barracks in Beirut or the innumerable IEDs in Iraq, Iran is the address for the murder of a lot of American citizens. Add to this total its brazen lies about its nuclear activities, and one has a Class A........
