On July 3, 1904, Theodore Herzl—the father of modern Zionism—died. Herzl was only 44 years old. Amazingly, he had only begun his movement with the First Zionist Congress less than a decade before, setting into motion the eventual establishment of the modern Jewish state. Over 200 delegates—Jewish leaders from throughout Europe and as far away as the Middle East and the United States—attended that first Congress in Switzerland in 1897....
Time-to-kill, as the name suggests, is a statistic that reflects the time it takes to eliminate an enemy. It depends on the weapon’s damage value and the rate of fire, which makes it an essential parameter that determines who remains standing at the end of a gunfight. The Call of Duty community, ever since the release of Warzone 2, has claimed that TTK is faster than ever in the game....
Trump spoke to Raffensperger for about an hour on Saturday, pushing unfounded conspiracy theories about Georgia’s election results and urging the state official to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s win there.

Cornette is all for a clash between the two top tag teams, declaring that any promotion that doesn’t book the bout when they have the chance should burn their wallets. It is a testament to the names involved that a former booker and legend of the industry, Jim Cornette, has given such an approval to their craft.

That hasn’t exactly always been the case. Much of Harbaugh’s Michigan tenure was marred by inexplicable losses early in the season, and finishing the year with losses both to in-state foe Michigan State and to Big Ten behemoth Ohio State. Harbaugh is working to change that narrative, having gotten over the hump last year and reaching the College Football Playoff. But if Harbaugh is going to erase the struggles the program faced early in his tenure, his overall record against Ohio State is going to have to improve....
