1 Menachem Av 5784
Rosh Chodesh  

The following was left as a comment today...

Hat tip to Shimshon:

"And I heard the man clad in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he raised his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and he swore by the Life of the world, that in moed, moadim, and chetzi moed, and when they have ended shattering the strength of the holy people, all these will end."

If "moed" is Simchas Torah, "moadim" is Pesach and Shavuos, and "chetzi moed" is Tisha b'Av, this posuk applies perfectly to the year 5784. Our strength (as in "my strength and the might of my hand") is almost shattered.

And what follows next has come out in the last hour or so and really points up the utter failures of this miserable regime...
