A GIVEN CURRENT ISSUES WORLDWIDE, IT MAY BE THE TIME TO CONSIDER AN IDEA THAT WAS FLOATED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE UK, AUSTRALIA CANADA AND NEW ZEALAND SOME YEARS AGO.

CANZUK

A free trade and travel zone uniting post-Brexit UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
2)
Such a union, would be of countries that share close legal systems, traditions, and histories, and most importantly language, which would become the 3 most important union on the planet if it were done.
3)
And all 4 have reasons for doing this, and according to some polls, majorities in their countries that would favor it.
4)
It would help solve post-Brexit problems for the UK and provide insulation from Chinese pressure on the others. And with the accompanying treaty between the US and Canada, the English speaking world would have powerful international leverage.
5)
Think about it. It has already received some attention - positive attention - from the Canadian Conservatives, the British Tories, and Scott Morrison in Australia, by the way.

Jacob lives the final 17 years of his life in Egypt. Before his passing, he asks Josef to bury him in Eretz Yisrael.

1)
If one looks at the history of Ireland & the History of the Jewish People, one would automatically assume that the Republic of Ireland would be one of the greatest fans and supporters of the State of Israel.
2)
But, actually, Ireland has been more often hostile to Israel than sympathetic and supportive. On the surface, that does not seem to make sense.

But it is not.

So, here's an idea.
1)
Every member of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate should pay back their Federal Salaries for the 10 months of 2020 that so many have had to do without jobs and incomes.

The total savings for the treasury would be

$77,575,000

Quite a savings.
2)
And justified by the lack of any real work by those who received their salaries

Now add to that the salaries of the leadership in New York, California, New Jersey and any other states that have had endless lockdowns."

Judah pleads for the release of his brother Benjamin, offering to exchange himself in taking this exaulted Egyptian ruler for Benjamin who could then go home.
2)
But Josef saw in Judah a change from the immature and covetous brother of years ago who clearly matured to a man who understood loyalty to family. And seeing his brothers’ loyalty to one another, Josef chose to surprised them, revealing his identity to them.

1)
The isolation, the lack of the challenges of everyday living, seems to be related to more forgetfulness, slower response times, confusion, depression, and shortness of temper, especially among those over age 60.
2)
And the degree of handicap seems directly related to the time and frequency of lockdowns.

(Information gathered from a number of radio and TV reports over the past 3 months, from US, European, and Asian sources)"
