The Last Friday in the Stroock Northern Strategic Direction

Cloudy all day here yesterday with a pretty good thunderstorm in the late afternoon.

We will be heading back to New Jersey presently, leaving the tree guy to his own devices.

Oh look: ‘A New Jersey-based telemarketing company that made millions of robocalls on behalf of a business selling solar panels has been fined after inundating some potential customers with more than 100 calls each, according to the Federal Trade Commission.’ Many a time have we wasted the time of a solar panel telemarketer. ‘You’re in Dallas you say? How’s Dak Prescott going to do this year?’ Or, ‘You’re in Atlanta? Bullshit. I recognize that accent anywhere, Steve. You’re calling from Punjab.’ And even, ‘Yes my address is 1060 West Addison, Chicago Illinois….’

The talk this morning in Israel is getting downright apocalyptic with warnings of a legal coup, Haredi dominance, military unreadiness, and even civil war. When the left loses, it loses badly. Netanyahu will get his judicial overhaul bill passed and then…nothing will happen.

Israel Radar is once more warning of potential terror attacks by Hezbollah/Hamas/Iran etc etc. Stroock’s Books first thought is that would be a bad idea for the bad guys. Striking Israel now would only unify a divided nation. But would it? We know American leftists, the American ruling class, is loyal to itself. The elite tolerate America but seek to remake it. Elitism being a product of culture leading to class, the Israeli left is made of the same stuff as their American brethren. Netanyahu led Israel is deeply disappointing to the Israeli elites. If Hezbollah attacks, would the Israeli elite rally round the flag? Would they put aside their differences with Bibi? Would they? All of them? Surely some (Haretz) would blame the attack on Bibi’s Judicial Overhaul. Americans here would/will. They can’t help themselves.

They’ll also blame ‘climate change’.
