Bibi Wins It: The Israeli elections went from too close to call to a resounding victory for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His Likud Party won 29 or 30 seats in Parliament to 24 for the Zionist Union. Netanyahu still has to form a coalition with a ruling majority of 67 seats, but he is likely to serve a fourth term and become Israel’s longest-serving prime minister.

Netanyahu said some shocking things in the final hours. He reversed himself on the establishment of a Palestinian state and actually tried to instill fear that Arab citizens were voting. On his Facebook page yesterday he wrote, “The right-wing government is in danger. Arab voters are coming out in droves to the polls. Left-wing organizations are busing them out.”

Church Approved: After 30 years of debate, the Presbyterian Church USA voted yesterday to change the church’s constitutional definition of marriage to include same sex marriages. The language changes from defining marriage as between “a man and a woman” to between “two people, traditionally a man and a woman.” Dwindling ranks of the church’s more conservative members made the vote possible. With 1.8 million members, the church is the largest of the Presbyterian denominations in the country.

Nation: House Speaker John Boehner has demanded that Hillary Clinton turn over her private email server to a neutral party for examination. He wants an examiner to decide what was personal and what was State Department business in Clinton’s email traffic while she was secretary of state. The Republicans have a particular interest in anything to do with the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. They have always suspected Clinton has been covering something.

>The FBI has issued an offer of a $5 million reward leading to the recovery of 13 artworks stolen in one of the most notorious art thefts of all time. In 1990 two men posing as cops got into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and stole irreplaceable paintings. This comes two years after the FBI announced it had made “significant investigative progress” in the case. This latest offer of a reward indicates that they’re stumped.

“Don’t Be Defeatist, Dear, It’s Very Middle Class”: Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock, 33, the Republican who had his office decorated in the style of Downton Abbey from the Public television series, is resigning. Schock was under scrutiny not just for a free remodel that made his office look like the home of British landed gentry, but other lavish spending on trips and jets. He repaid the cost of the $40,000 office makeover by an Illinois company called Euro Trash. We assume his successor will change the décor.

Weather Report: While snow melts in the East after a brutal winter, much of California’s annual poppy crop has been cooked to death by unusually hot weather. The poppies in the Antelope Valley northeast of Los Angeles were one of the densest crops seen in years until they were quickly wilted by temperatures in the 80s. When they are in full bloom, the orange flowers are a spectacular sight.

Practice, Practice: The new director of the Secret Service wants a new White House. Not an actual White House, but an $8 million replica that would be used for training agents and officers at the service’s facility in Beltsville, Md. Director Joseph Clancy says right now his people have to train in a parking lot. A mock White House would allow his agents to practice letting intruders over the fence while senior agents improve their drunk driving.
