Local supermarket has been OOS of affordable pasta (Taaman, etc).

...And I'm sure every supermarket is different.
So I'm in Shaarei Revach and they seem to have unearthed cases of Taaman pasta - JUST spaghetti. I ask my wife if that's okay, and I get 5 kilo of spaghetti. (I happen to be very fond of pasta, and she has to feed me more often over Bein Hazmanim.) Then I see that they have angel hair (itriot, y'all) for even less than the usual (post-inflation, that is) price. Got a few kilo more.

I wont be voting for Trump OR Harris but just wait till Ilan Goldenberg is leading on MidEast policy.

Hashem yeracheim

Did you read what you wrote?

If you don't vote Trump, Ilan will be leading on Mideast policy.

Voting for Trump in a heavily blue state is meaningless!

This is currently live, definitely worth listening as it crystallizes what's going on.

@CountValentine I'd be keen to hear your outsider comments after listening.

No it isn't. It won't move the needle re his becoming president, but it does have benefits for many other reasons.

Reality check.

Do some research into the numbers and into the stats. I've posted about this before.

Why won't you be voting?

I will only reply once because this is not a politics thread.
My focus was just highlighting Ilan Goldberg and his MidEast naivete.
Who said I was not voting?
I don't have to vote, its a free country; but since I live in a frum area I vote to keep the numbers up. Neither main candidate has earned my vote. End of story. I will do a write in or leave the presidential part of my ballot blank.
Funnily, in the primary I tried to get a Republican ballot, but the poll workers straight up refused/were too stupid to process my request and gave me a Dem ballot so I walked out.
However, Kamala's EY policies and personnel, do give me pause, so if I lived in a state where my vote mattered I would have different calculations.

Are you a registered Republican or Democrat?

I see reports of a joint statement regarding an updated proposal at the "ceasefire negotiations" that supposedly just needs minor details finalized.

Does anyone in their right mind believe this nonsense smoke and mirrors? @CountValentine could you please chime in?

I was flabbergasted by the fiasco show and vote at the UNSC calling for a non-existant and fake deal to be signed.

How many millions are spent by the US on this nonsense? All for what? What is the US interest to stab their closest ally in the back? Luckily Netanyahu is at the helm and doesn't bow to pressure. I don't understand why he doesn't go publicly and more bluntly calling out the lies and deception.

IINM it was Golda Meir who summed up the key point of contention between the #IslamoNazis (and please don't give me cr*p over my use of the most accurate descriptive term of the other side - the ideological heirs of Hajj Amin Al-Husseini) and the Jews: "they want to kill all of us, and we don't agree". (I put quotation marks there even though I am paraphrasing.

As long as they don't abandon their genocidal aspirations, there is an irreconcilable gap.

https://mofa.gov.qa/en/statements/joint-statement-from-the-united-states--egypt--and-qatar

Who buys this BS?

Quote
This proposal builds on areas of agreement over the past week, and bridges remaining gaps in the manner that allows for a swift implementation of the deal.   

Working teams will continue technical work over the coming days on the details of implementation, including arrangements to implement the agreement’s extensive humanitarian provisions, as well as specifics relating to hostages and detainees.


Was this gap bridged? If yes, how exactly?

how long will it take to build this bridge? And is it in addition to the tunnels or replacing the tunnels?
Pedestrian only or vehicle traffic?

How much is in the US budget for a bridge to nowhere?
