Links For Memorial Day

In the United States, today is Memorial Day, when we remember the people who gave their lives in service to their country.  The weather here in Maryland has been damp and surprisingly cool, which perhaps fits with the somber nature of today's observance.  Here are some things going on:

From Voice Of Europe, Dutch MP Geert Wilders calls on the U.K. to release Tommy Robinson.

From The Brussels Times, two Belgian women in Syria take their own country to court.

From the Express, the Italian governing coalition collapses when their president vetoes the prime minister-designate's choice for economy minister.

From ANSA, the Italian president gives former spending review chief Carlo Cottarelli a mandate to form an interim government.

From Breitbart London, some Italians are calling for the impeachment of their president.

From The Local IT, Italy prepares for a caretaker government and new elections.

From The Guardian, more on the situation in Italy.

From the NL Times, in the Netherlands, electric cars cost less per month to operate than diesel cars.

From Dutch News, 90 percent of sex crime perpetrators in the Netherlands are known to their victims.

From Deutsche Welle, refugees and police clash in Dresden, Germany.

From Euractiv, a Romanian MEP says that the E.U. needs a "proper" migration budget.

From Jewish News Syndicate, an Algerian blogger is sentenced to ten years for interviewing an Israeli official.

From Gatestone Institute, "you're not allowed to talk about it".

From Sp!ked, we need to stop calling them "Asian grooming gangs".

From Twitchy, the selective left-wing outrage over immigrants.

From FrontpageMag, more on the left's outrage over President Trump's "animals".

From Townhall, real conservatives should not bow down to liberals.

From Fox News, U.S. marshals arrest a registered sex offender suspected of kidnapping.

From CBS Baltimore, Ellicott City, Maryland starts cleaning up after a horrible flash flood.

From the New York Post, Kilauea is spewing out vog.  (The term "vog" is neither a typo nor a borrowing from science fiction.  The volcano really is producing vog.)

From TMZ, the royal newlyweds will honeymoon in the land of polite people and ice hockey.  (via Page Six)

And from Yahoo News, the man who swam across the Atlantic will try to swim across the Pacific.  (If this doesn't deserve the "badass" label, I don't know what does.)
