Biden appoints “minyan” of ministers

Donald Trump lost the presidency. By doing so, he has allowed:

A Jewish senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to replace Moscow Mitch (McConnell);

A Jewish White House chief of staff (Ron Klain);

A Jewish attorney general (Merrick Garland);

A Jewish secretary of state (Antony Blinken); and deputy secretary of state (Wendy Sherman);

A Jewish director of homeland security (Alejandro Mayorkas);

A Jewish Federal Reserve chairperson (Janet Yellen);

A Jewish COVID-19 co-ordinator (Jeffrey Zients);

A Jewish Centers for Disease Control director (Rochelle Walensky);

A Jewish member of the Council of Economic Advisors (Jared Bernstein);

and don’t forget a vice-president whose husband and step-kids are Jewish.

President Joe Biden – whose nickname is “the mensch” – is appointing this “Jewish minyan”, which includes many top-tier, important, and influential government positions.

*NOTE: By now, you probably know all about Kamala Harris’s husband, future second gentleman Doug “Dougie” Emhoff. Not only is he the spouse of the first-ever woman to serve as vice-president of the United States, he’s also the first Jewish person to fill this role.

I would be remiss to overlook Biden’s Jewish relatives, of which there are many. In fact, all three of his adult kids married into Jewish families, which means Biden is the grandfather of some pretty adorable Jewish kids.

And finally, as a postscript to all your Bridge (and Klaberjass) playing readers, America is much better off in No-Trumps.
