Links For Obama Day

On Twitter, today is Obama Day, as in the birthday of our most recent former president.  So as Barry enjoys the conclusion of his 57th trip around the sun, here are some other things going on:

From the Daily Mail, Spain rescues another 223 migrants from the Mediterranean Sea.

From DNA, in some Muslim areas of India, measles vaccination rates are very low.

From The Quint, the death toll for the suicide bombing at a mosque in Gardez City, Afghanistan reaches 39.  (The article describes the attackers as "burqa-clad".  Were they two men disguised as women?  If so, that would seem very underhanded.)

From The Washington Free Beacon, Republicans in Illinois want to take back road money that had been allocated for Obama's presidential center in Chicago.  (A birthday present in reverse, you might say.)

From CheckYourFact, are there really more job openings than unemployed people?  (Considering that there are different ways in which unemployment is measured, there might be more than one definition of "unemployed person", and thus different numbers of people being included in the count.)

From Variety, the movie Black Panther will soon exceed $700 million at the box office.

From Deadline, Jean-Luc Picard is coming back.  (via The Verge)

From The Daily Caller, don't panic just yet over printed guns.

From The Roanoke Times, five questions for this year's Virginia Tech football team.

From the New York Post, an Uber driver in Michigan uses some real horsepower.

From Fox News, in Wisconsin, things are getting cheesier than ever.

And from Breaking Burgh, Queen Elizabeth denies that her new LaBron James jersey is a dig at President Trump.
