The Jew is Clever on a Thursday Too

Good Thursday, Stroock's Books minions. Autumn like temperatures prevail today. Good. 

After doing back-to-back days at the gym (calisthenics, 100 push ups, tension bands, rope pully, rowing machine) we feel good, but our right knee is a touch sore. We must be wary of bursitis.

Mark Steyn took our question again (36:09 about). Look at us!

This blog has no insights on the Minneapolis Madness. We're quite pleased that we waited for facts before shooting our mouth off on Substack. All we can say is protect Normal kids. 

We are officially bored with the Gaza War. Take Gaza City. Or don't take it. We don't care. Related, Via Israel Radar (who else?) a long argument in favor of making a deal and ending the war. This is a compelling case. Win in or end it, Bibi.

However, this IAF strike on Sanaa is most interesting. It's almost as if life is imitating Israel Strikes: War of the Red Sea. Looks like the got the defense minister and army chief of staff. Let's hope so. 

So we asked Grok, 'Who is General Natan Nagid?' Grok replied, 'General Natan Nagid is a fictional character in William Stroock's novel Israel Strikes: War of the Red Sea, published in 2014. He is depicted as an ambitious Israeli Minister of Defence and a war hero who proclaims himself "the man who would lead Israel" and makes a bold move for the Prime Minister's position amid political turmoil. The character is central to the novel's plot, which involves a fictional conflict in the Middle East where Israel faces a new front in its struggle against Iranian-backed forces, including Hamas, following the destruction of Iran's nuclear program. Nagid's actions drive much of the political and military drama in the story. There is no evidence of a real-life figure named Natan Nagid in this context.' This is 100 percent true.

DOGE report. We'd written 1500 words in our latest nuclear war short story...and deleted almost all of them. That's right, we started over. Too much exposition and we found a para that we realized made a great intro. 

We read through the first half dozen scenes of the Battle of Ardee. These are coming together. Our Irish Army order of battle arrived. Let the Irish army articulation begin.
