In pre-Hitler Germany, their problems were due to communist filth like Obama, but blamed on jews.
The Jews were the 1% who were the evil rich. Sound familiar?

Two juvenile cousins...
The two were taken into juvenile custody late Friday afternoon after their parents turned them in to the Columbia Police Department.
Funny you ask that! This is what I posted on FB on 1/8, as a summary to my Bible study. Even funnier, I used the same pic of Pharaoh's daughther!
We are all very familiar with the story of Moses, how Pharaoh had decreed that every Hebrew baby boy be thrown into the Nile river (Ex. 1:22). We know that Moses’ mother kept him for 3 months (Ex. 2:2) and when she could hide him no longer “she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank” (Ex. 2:3).
God arranged that just as the basket was floating on the river, Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile for a bath, saw the basket and sent a maid to get it (Ex. 2:5).
Now for the strange part of the story, read verse 6: “And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children”. How did she know that the baby was a Hebrew? In “The Ten Commandments” it is very easy, as Moses is wrapped in a cloth with Hebrew designs. The same cloth that an slave of Pharaoh’s daughter uses years later to try to blackmail her mistress. But that’s just the movie. The Bible does not say how she knew. Or does it?
In the original Hebrew, the verse first refers to a “baby boy” in the basket, but then it refers to a “youth” who is crying. Why does it refer to Moses as a child? The Sages explained that by saying that the verse is speaking of two different boys. Pharaoh’s daughter opens the basket and sees baby Moses. Then she sees a child – Aaron, the older brother of Moses- and he is crying. She realizes that Aaron is the baby’s brother, connects the dots, and understands that this is a Hebrew baby, in danger of death.
This is more than a curiosity. Yes, it kind of explains how did Pharaoh’s daughter identify Moses as a Hebrew baby, since Cecil B. DeMille was not there to "help"! But most important, it shows the importance of crying for others. Just like Aaron’s cries could have caused Pharaoh’s daughter to have compassion on Moses, our cries (prayers) for others will cause God to act on their behalf. Neat, isn’t it?
Isn't the Bible amazing?
