JERUSALEM — Israel Defense Forces says its troops on the ground and in the air are currently attacking in the Gaza Strip, according to a tweet sent by their official account Thursday afternoon. The assault happened around midnight local time.

During the day, Israel had said it was massing troops along the Gaza frontier and called up 9,000 reservists ahead of a possible ground invasion of the Hamas-ruled territory. There have been rocket fire and airstrikes on both sides for most of the day.

Egyptian mediators and representatives from other countries had rushed to Israel to effort a cease-fire, but there does not appear to be any progress.

Thursday's attacks came after violence between the two sides erupted for a fourth night. Jewish and Arab mobs violently clashed in the town of Lod. Fighting continued despite increased police presence and curfews.

Update: Israel's military clarified that its ground forces have begun fighting with Palestinian militants but have yet to enter Gaza

MAGA Lunatic Ben Carson woke up, went on Fox Propaganda and pushed hydroxychloroquine once again as a fake cure for Covid, then said racism is racial equality.

The people he performed “surgery” on should get checked, immediately.

Despite McConnell's orders to GOP Senators to vote against Gupta this morning
GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski voted with the Dems to advance the nomination of Vanita Gupta
VP Harris' tie-breaking vote wasn't necessary

GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski will vote on Wednesday to confirm highly qualified Vanita Gupta to the No. 3 position at the Justice Department, blowing up her party’s effort to mount a united front in opposition.

BREAKING: Gov. Whitmer is working to address a surge of coronavirus cases/hospitalizations. She’s urging a two-week suspension of:

•in-person high school classes
•all youth sports
•indoor restaurant dining
•indoor gatherings with friends

Not mandatory. Only voluntary.

A reminder that the Michigan state GOP worked vigorously for most of 2020 to strip Governor Whitmer of her emergency powers - which the state Supreme Court finally did last fall.

The GOP has many Michiganders convinced that COVID is a sham, which has led to the current crisis.

I normally don't do a lot of baking from scratch & during the height of the pandemic flour was almost impossible to find around here but pancake mix was in abundance so sought out recipes using that. My favorite is this one

https://www.auntjemima.com/recipes/chicken_pot_pie_casserole

cooking for one here so I halved all the ingredients so it fit nicely into a small pie tin

I also made it using pork or beef leftovers, used gravy instead of the cream of chicken soup & mixed vegs instead of the broccoli.

It is the best pot pie I have ever tasted.
