I’ll confess: I didn’t have [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfl9mRFSNgk an assassination attempt] on my docket for this week, but that’s how it started! As of this writing, we’re still mystified as to how the “U.S. Secret Service” didn’t notice a guy climbing onto a roof so close to the stage where Trump was. We are also mystified as to why no USSS personnel [https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-rally-shooting-secret-service-identified-rooftop-security-flaw-rcna161783 were on that roof] (which the USSS director [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/16/thomas-crooks-sloping-rooftop-kimberly-cheatle-snipers/ deemed too unsafe] for her agents — mysterious!) or around it; but were, in fact, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/07/16/trump-rally-shooter-building-police-snipers/ stationed ''inside'' it]. We’re further mystified as to how the USSS didn’t act when numerous civilians notified them and the cops there was a man with a rifle there. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cKdTZKYyFg So much mystery]!

* The “Adidas” company, in an apparent bid to improve their standing amongst the most unapologetically evil of the world, is using famed antisemite and generally slimy so-and-so Bella Hadid [https://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/63118/1/bella-hadid-adidas-originals-sl-72-og-rs-asap-nast-jules-kounde-melissa-bon to model their 1972 rebooted shoe]. Yes, they’re using a “Palestinian” to promote a reboot of shoes first introduced during… the 1972 Olympics. The same Olympics where “Palestinians” murdered 11 Israeli athletes. Nothing personal, it’s only business…

In the meantime, my [https://8th-dev.com/zemanim2.html “zemanim” beta-test] proceeds apace. After some very good feedback, I’m closing in on the final version, and am working to get 8th’s innards working properly on iOS. Moving parts, lots of moving parts!

The weather has been ME summer, with the nighttime temps not descending as far as we would like. However, nothing too extreme.

This ''shabbat'' we’re having guests over for a meal. Our menu includes:<br>
homemade ''ḥalla'',
baked chicken,
leek ''pashtida'',
stir-fried green-beans,
rice,
various ''salatim'',
watermelon,
and ice-cream.
<br>

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''! <br>
