I wonder if an unintended consequence of this could be tipping FL & TX to the D side with all the NY, NJ, CT, and CA liberals migrating there...
In Texas a poll showed that people who moved to the state from CA are more conservative than natives.
Link isn't working. But many are unaware that the entire state outside of San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles is very conservative, with an impressive republican congressional delegation. The people moving to Texas are often those folks, the ones that did well financially

Bloomberg again with their underhanded tactics of changing links. And then the guy expects to be trusted as president. ::)

https://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2020/01/letter-ring-found-on-the-ground-in-dachau-in-1945-photos.html

Interesting attempts to decipher in the comments. I think they are all missing the fact that this is a טבעת חותם which means that the script is a mirror image.

I can't make out the first line other than a few letters, like a ṭāʾ in the beginning, can't make out the second letter, third letter being an ʾalif and then a kāf (my Arabic isn't that good, and if this is Urdu or Farsi, that might actually be a Noon at the end). Second line is clearly bin 'abd and third line isn't as clear but might be Allah followed by something I'm not sure of.

So this ring was originally used as a seal of someone called .... bin 'abd Allah.

(though if this is actually Persian/Urdu, the first name might be طعان)

HEBREW article looking into the modern history of Tiberias where Bibi enjoys overwhelming support, going through historical reasons for it and interviewing some lifelong local residents (writer himself is a native of Tiberias).

I read it yesterday. Fascinating and very long.

https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/delta-air-lines-just-made-a-big-announcement-that-will-make-delta-employees-very-happy.html

Could there be a connection here between the accolades, the records, and the profit-sharing? Bastian seems to think so:

    "For years, I would get beaten up by Wall Street. They thought the profits were theirs, and 'Why are you giving the profits away to the employees? Wall Street has actually come full circle, and they realize that Delta is the most awarded airline in the world because of its employees."

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
