So Israelis are using the nine-month anniversary of October 7 to take stock of where we are. As it does every day, Yisrael Hayom (the Adelson-founded paper meant to support Bibi that no longer supports Bibi) posted its statistics dashboard. * 274 days of war * 120 hostages still being held in Gaza * 680 IDF personnel killed since the beginning of the war * 324 IDF personnel killed in battle since the ground operation began * 4091 IDF personnel wounded since the beginning of the war * 2080 IDF personnel wounded since the ground operation began Nine months isn’t long enough for this to be Israel’s longest war, but it’s long enough to be getting close. Nine months is a long time for the 100,000 Israelis from the north not to be in their homes. Nine months is precisely the amount of time that passed between the announcement of the judicial reform plan the first week in January 2023 and the beginning of the war in October 2023. Nine months of internal close-to-warfare before, nine months of actual warfare since. Without question, the most devastating year and a half in Israel’s history. Nine months, as the papers all pointed out today, means that if the female hostages were raped upon capture and if they got pregnant, well … it’s too much to even write. https://lnkd.in/e96THUWM

War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement. In war a physical force is to be created, and it is the executive will which is to direct it. In war the public treasures are to be unlocked, and it is the executive hand which is to dispense them. In war the honors and emoluments of office are to be multiplied; and it is the executive patronage under which they are to be enjoyed. It is in war, finally, that laurels are to be gathered, and it is the executive brow they are to encircle. The strongest passions, and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venial love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace. Hence it has grown into an axiom that the executive is the department of power most distinguished by its propensity to war: hence it is the practice of all states, in proportion as they are free, to disarm this propensity of its influence. - James Madison

MD @ Noverto ltd ¦ Partnering with Climate startups to convert key industry players and generate record revenues.
Some days are black or white. When a decision is to be made there is only so much deliberation and consultation that you can do especially if it is a decision relating only to you. The decision to be better is simple. You only have to answer this one question. Do you want to me better? Two options: 1. Yes 2. No Come to terms with where you at and choose that is the only way to move forward.

Seizing the Moment to Defeat DEI The Heritage Foundation 13 Mar 2024 From medical schools to the military and law schools to corporations, see how the pernicious ideology of DEI has made its way into every facet of American institutions and what can be done to reverse course. The successful campaign to oust the presidents of Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania has made clear that a window of opportunity has opened in the struggle against DEI and CRT. This window opened when Americans, especially those in the center, watched in horror as students – indoctrinated into a narrative of oppressor vs. oppressed – threw their support behind the Hamas terrorists who committed atrocities in Israel on October 7. We must keep this window open. Join us to hear from experts in national defense, medicine, and education, along with journalists uncovering DEI and CRT’s capture of a wide range of institutions. From medical schools to the military and law schools to corporations, see how this pernicious ideology has made its way into every facet of American institutions and what can be done to reverse course.

Bittersweet Goodbyes: What My Last Sermon Taught Me About Leadership Yesterday, I delivered my final sermon in a military chapel. Just as I thought I was closing this chapter on a high note, the stakes started rising, and my smooth transition into civilian life suddenly felt uncertain. Yes, I delivered a heartfelt final sermon that resonated deeply with everyone present. But, just when I thought I could ride that emotional wave into retirement bliss, I realized the weight of leaving the military family behind was heavy. No, I wasn't physically knocked out, but emotionally, I felt a blow. And then Chaplain (LTC) Dicks, my replacement, stepped in with a surprise—he presented me with a drawing he did of yours truly. This wasn't just a sketch; it was a reminder of the bonds and connections that make leaving tough. Receiving this highlighted the deep connections I'll leave behind. Now, facing the unknown of civilian life feels like stepping into a boxing ring again. I question whether I can replicate these meaningful connections in civilian life - This is where the real challenge begins. Here's what this experience taught me: - Genuine recognition comes in small gestures. - Leading involves personal connections. - Embrace change with gratitude and excitement. - Cherish uplifting moments to inspire others. As I gear up for the next chapter, I’m carrying these lessons with me, fueled by the amazing chaplains I've had the pleasure of working alongside. But the real question remains—can I replicate the meaningful connections of military life in the civilian world? That’s a story still being written. What challenges have you faced in your own transitions, and how did you overcome them? Let’s share our experiences and support each other on this journey.
