How Do You Measure The "Success" Of Affordable Housing?

Jews Vote
Trump has made a major play for Jewish voters since he jumped into the 2016 campaign-- and, just as there were a few Jews stupid enough to vote for Hilter and the Nazi Party, Trump had some Jewish support in 2016.

The 1 Reason It Seemed Like Imperial Japan Might Win World War II
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_GM1E88F0Y0G01&share=true] Thankfully it never happened. *Key Point:* At the start of the war, Tokyo was on a roll. However, after six months of winning the war would change at the Battle of Midway. Both sides needed reinforcements. For the Japanese and the Americans in October 1942, the battle for Guadalcanal was turning into a bottomless pit, demanding more and more scarce resources—in the air and at sea and, most importantly, on the ground.
