I suggest YouTube videos by Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi constantly play on monitors in all their offices. Six months should do it.
Put the man creating the next Holocaust in charge of honoring the last one.
Typical Obama move. Anti American, anti Israel, pro Muzzie. He’s predictable.
Now he needs to go away!
“Added 10 members? How many councilmembes does one museum need?”

My question is how many days a year are the members performing official duties and can President Trump limit the number of days they are performing museum duties?
This would be a one-day appointment, as President Trump can fire the whole bunch of them, right?
