Saturday Stories

As the week ends, here are some things going on (and a wee bit of opinion from yours truly):

From Voice Of Europe, Dutch politician Geert Wilders speaks in England at a rally for imprisoned journalist Tommy Robinson.





From Al Arabiya, a French man commits suicide by jumping off the roof of the Grand Mosque in Mecca.  (via The Express Tribune)


From AhlulBayt News Agency, Iran's president tells his Pakistani counterpart that "our common borders must always be secure borders for both countries".  (In principle, I agree.  Borders should be secure between any two adjacent countries, even, for example, between the United States and Mexico.)

From National Review, how rock bands' names stay the same while members come and go.  (The article also notices that country music is often rock and roll with a banjo or fiddle thrown in.  I had already pretty much come to the same opinion.)





From the New York Post, "Dotard" claims that he will be able to "feel" if "Rocket Man" is serious at their upcoming summit.  (Yes, it's back on again.)

From Philly(dot)com, President Trump signals that he could support an effort to ease the federal law against marijuana.  (Why was a constitutional amendment needed for a federal ban on alcohol, but not for the federal ban on marijuana?)
