Monday Jews and News

We approach this week in resignation, acceptance even. It's World War 1990: The Final Storm week, month....as long as it takes. However, after a morning we feel the MS is coagulating. We can see a way out. 

So a Jew hating troll decided to troll us on Gab, calling us a 'redneck faggot clown.' Redneck? Longtime readers(s) of Stroocks Books know we have a considerable amount of southern blood pulsating through our veins. But we're descended from genteel merchant types who owned the general store in Waterproof, Louisianna. Sometimes we have a vague but persistent urge to sit on the front porch and count our Confederate war bonds. 

Anyway, we replied, 'I'm not a redneck.' And, 'Someone's stepdad is a Jew.' Also, 'I hope you can find a therapist that can help you.' And finally, 'You might be interested in my alternate history novel, The Austrian Painter: What if Germany won the Great War?' We love it when bored pretend-Nazis show up in our mentions.

And on Purim too...

 Zerohedge tells us that General Wade Milley has visited US troops in Syria. Why are we still occupying northeastern Syria?: 'An official estimate of some 900 American troops remain in the northeast portion of the country, which is Syria's oil and gas rich region which before the war supplied the rest of the country. Also the US has troops at Tanf base on the Iraq-Syria border.' 

To ask the question is to answer the question, one supposes. Go ahead, call us an Assad apologist. Ef that, we ain't apologizing. The man kills a lot of Islamic Jihadi. Also, his wife is a knockout. First lady Asma of Syria or Queen Rania of Jordan...a toughie. 

The more we see of Bibi's coalition partners in Israel, the less we like them. The Times of Israel says Itmar Ben Gvir claims people are out to kill him, but, 'Senior officer denies there is information that demonstrators are planning assassinations; opposition leaders call on Netanyahu to fire far-right minister before it’s too late.' Meanwhile Bibi's coalition has advanced a bill that would ban leavened bread in hospitals on Passover. This had been a thing in Israel till the high court intervened. 

Meanwhile the anti-judicial reform hysteria continues with protests in the streets, ex generals penning letters, reservists refusing to show up. This is what a Neocon color revolution looks like. Anyone know what Victoria Nuland is doing?

Monday Metal, Monday Bad Metal.  We'll be talking about bad heavy metal for a while as we're sick of writing, 'This fuck rocks, bro!' There's plenty of bad, no good, horrible metal out there. Take Van Halen's Without You, their only Number 1 single with singer number three, hence the album title, Gary Cherone. This was also Van Halen's last number 1 single. There's a lot of good ideas in Without You, and we like the chorus, but this song is a mess. So's the video, which makes no sense. Why are we in the arctic? Who is this Swedish gal with the sledgehammer and why is she sledgehammering? The rest of III absolutely blows:
