250

Good morning, Stroock's Books kibbutzim and Shabbat Shalom. The president called for a national day of Shabbat tonight, Shabbat 250. We will be acting accordingly. Jews have never had a better friend in the White House. 

Oh! And happy Jerusalem Day.

It's also 'Nakba' in which 'Palestinian's commemorate something that didn't happen.

Medical brief...yet another doctor not hitting the panic button and ordering more tests instead. We find this off putting and are close to judging this endless series of doctor's appointments a waste of time. 

War of the ants...we've seen, maybe, three ants in the last 48 hours. 

We dunno, what else we got?

It seems the Israeli Knesset will dissolve and elections will come a bit early. Right now we'd give the edge to Naftalli Bennett's center-right Together Party and the oppo block. But the campaign (and events!) may change things. Sooner or later Israel must needs move on from Netanyahu. We are open to persuasion that sooner is now. 

Speaking of campaigns and events, let's see what's happening in the Mother Country...The campaign against Kier Starmer continues. Frankly, we kinda hope Starmer survives. The worse things get, the better in the long run. And no, we don't trust Nigel, not one bit. Britain deserves this. 

DOGE report.

Slogging through the Nueva Segovia chapter. We'll finish the slog today. Which does not mean we've finished the chapter. But the chapter will look much better than it did on Monday.
