  2. BBC Verify: What video, pictures and other evidence tell us about Al Ahli hospital blast [Click] Good reportage IMO; judgement should be reserved at this time.

    1. It doesn't compute for me that anyone other than Israel did it.

    2. It doesn't compute that anyone but Istael would do it deliberately, but Istael claims it was a failed Palestinian rocket launch. In effect, an accident. The visual evidence seems to support that, although BBC notes that the shell casings would be definitive one way or the other and they aren't currently available for examination.

    3. I read that no shell casing has been found, indicating that it wasn't a missile from Israel, but a failed rocket, that fell and made the crater in the courtyard. Also, President Biden has now said our State Department says it was a failed rocket from Gaza.

    4. Hamas has a known history of defective rockets getting dumped on its own people--I'm waiting on this one, but it ain't looking good for the a-rabs. . . .

    3. Jordan opponents detail their strategy for pressuring him to drop out
      From CNN's Melanie Zanona

      Opponents of Jim Jordan’s speakership have been deploying a strategy aimed at pressuring the Ohio Republican to drop out of the race: purposely staggering their “no” votes across multiple ballots.

      One Republican who has voted for Jordan on the first two ballots said a group of them have been planning to peel off gradually in an attempt to show building opposition to his speakership, and “basically drew straws” over who would vote for Jordan initially but then vote against him in subsequent ballots.

      Jordan lost four Republicans on the second ballot, and the member said more would follow suit if there is another vote.

  4. The birch trees are almost empty of leaves, the leaves litter the road, looking like gold doubloons scattered by a careless hand, utterly gorgeous. . . . especially just at twilight. Worth waiting for.
