Many in the Jewish community are in high dudgeon about the likely election of Zohran Mamdani as the mayor of New York City. I think that their moral outrage is somewhat misplaced. (BTW, is there such a thing as "low dudgeon" or just "dudgeon"?)

Do not be fooled. The individuals and corporations who have contributed to the destruction of the East Wing of the White House to build a Trump Ballroom are not contributing 100% of the amounts of their checks. Here's §170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code: they get a tax deduction.
