Good Morning! On this day in 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president, carrying Pennsylvania on his way to victory. Three years later, he came to Gettysburg to deliver his most famous speech.

Today’s sponsor, RAD Intel, is bringing proprietary prediction technology and five brands together in a growing portfolio designed to help businesses connect their marketing campaigns, software, and agency services.

Jewish Eateries Targeted by Boycott Ride

A planned “Boycott Ride” past Jewish- and Israeli-owned businesses in Philadelphia this Sunday has drawn condemnation from Pennsylvania’s two U.S. senators, Attorney General Dave Sunday, and Jewish organizations.

The anti-Israel group organizing the ride listed restaurants including Zahav and Huda on a flyer calling for “Zionist” businesses to leave the city.

The ride falls on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi pogrom against Jews in Germany and Austria, and Gov. Josh Shapiro called it antisemitism.

Huda chef Yehuda Sichel says his restaurant will stay open, and supporters are organizing a food crawl to back the targeted businesses.

Husband Saves Wife from Station Fire

Norman Courney crawled on his stomach into his burning Middletown home to rescue his wife of 54 years, Linde Stern, after a fire tore through the old train station the couple had lived in for 15 years.

Stern, who uses a walker, had to crawl from the flames, and Courney and a neighbor carried her out just before fire shot through the doorway behind them.

Courney bought the station from the railroad in 1977 to run as an auction house, and the couple moved in after the 2008 financial crisis cost them their Marietta home.

Stern was treated for burns, and with insurance falling short, their daughter started a GoFundMe to help them find a new place to live.

Hershey Unwraps New Holiday Treats

Hershey unveiled its 2026 holiday lineup Thursday, with new seasonal treats from Hershey’s Kisses, Reese’s, Kit Kat, and SkinnyPop.

The new items include Grinch-inspired chocolates, reindeer-shaped candy, and maple syrup-flavored popcorn, along with returning Christmas favorites.

Salty snacks are playing a bigger role in Hershey’s seasonal lineups, after the company added SkinnyPop, Pirate’s Booty, and LesserEvil to its Halloween offerings for the first time this year.

Kisses and Reese’s are the top two holiday candy brands, according to the company, which has aired its “Holiday Bells” Kisses commercial for more than 35 years.

From a $10M Valuation to $300M+ Since 2021.

RAD Intel has grown from a $10M valuation in 2021 to $300M+, a 30X increase. Now, the company is building a holding company that uses proprietary prediction tech to grow revenue.

Now picture what RAD can do as it adds more to the portfolio. A brand that already pays RAD to run campaigns can buy software for its internal team or bring in a specialist from an agency RAD acquires. And that agency can bring RAD’s capabilities to the clients it already serves.

RAD Intel’s portfolio has signed more than 200 contracts in 2026 year to date, representing 10X year-over-year sales contract growth. Across its businesses, RAD’s proprietary intelligence is powering client work.

RAD Intel’s leadership brings $9B+ in combined M&A experience. The company is bringing technology ownership and five established businesses together in one portfolio.
