Sunday Links

As I take a break from Christmas shopping, here are some things going on:

From the Daily Star Sunday, the E.U. is spying on the British using "Cold War tactics".  (via the Sunday Express)

From CNN, a U.K. embassy employee in Lebanon has been found dead.

From Russia Today, President Putin thanks President Trump for U.S. aid in foiling a terror plot.

From Voice Of Europe, Dutch politician Geert Wilders stands with eastern Europe against Islamization.

From the Daily Mail, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair will not be prosecuted over the Iraq war.

From the Sunday Express, British politician Nigel Farage explains the real reason for Brexit shock.


From the Irish Examiner, protesters in Killarney "raise concerns" about a new asylum center.

From Reuters, protesters in Bethlehem burn pictures of Vice President Pence.  (via Fox News)

From The Daily Star, Bangla Deshis are not like the NY Port Authority subway bomber.  (I'd have to agree.  He's only suicide bomber I've ever heard of coming from that country.  This publication is based in Bangla Desh, and should not be confused with the similarly-named British one linked above.)

From Fox News, a singer is not allowed into an airport lounge because of her Ugg boots.  (via Legal Insurrection, posted by a writer with the appropriate pen name "Fuzzy Slippers")


From The Daily Caller, The New York Times has made some wrong assumptions about Patriot missiles.

From the Niarobi News, if you're going to practice polygamy, you might as well be efficient about it.

From National Review, hurrah for prosperity.

From Townhall, global warming is "fake news from the start".  (Wait a minute.  Isn't it called "climate change" now?)

From the Greek Reporter, the disputed origin of baklava.

And from the Metro, "5 weird Christmas foods from around the world".  (Due to my Polish heritage, I do not find the last item, "pierogi dumplings", to be weird.  In fact, the Polish word pierogi means "dumplings", which means that "pierogi dumplings" is redundant.)
