A wet and drizzly good morning from New Jersey.
Trump's in Saudi Arabia. Idan Alexander is home in Israel. Good and good.
Last night the Israelis assassinated a Hamas bigwig and a Hamas journo. Also, good and good.
Israeli police are arresting Haredi draft-dodgers and the Haredi parties are threatening to collapse the government. Good and we dare you.
Right now the next Israeli election happens late in 2026. Current polling says Netanyahu would basically tie all current potential opponents. Naftali Bennett, who has not officially announced his candidacy, would beat Bibi. Bennett + the current opposition block would win 60 + seats, without the Arab parties. Expected and of course and excellent.
Bibi is promising big things in Gaza in the next few days, things we haven't seen before, or some such, he says. He's said the same before and nothing has happened. He's also said the same and unleashed Operation Grim Beeper on Hezbollah. So we'll see. Reminder: the more bellicose the Arab's rhetoric, the more impotent is the Arab. Is this also true of the Jew?
So AI has advanced to the point where an author can simply click a button and make his book available in audiobook format. That doesn't bode well for voiceover artists, does it? Anyway the first three novels in The Great Nuclear War of 1975 series are now available in audiobook format. We'll see what the new format does for sales.
DOGE Report: We worked on the UDR/Londonderry chapter yesterday, editing scenes and writing a new scene. It's almost time to step away from this chapter for the sit period.
We also began our South Armagh research in earnest. The county was such an IRA hotbed, the army and RUC moved in and out by chopper. Armagh wasn't called Bandit Country for nuthin' folks.
We pondered beginning a new World War 1990 novel in a few weeks. This would be a Forward novel taking place after the war is over. The question is, what comes after the UK/IRE problem? We'd start Battle of the GIUK Gap in the autumn.
