Thursday Things

Here is today's bunch of things going on:

From National Review, President Trump's withdrawal from the deal with Iran appears to be a success.

From FrontpageMag, military on the border is an appropriate response to a crisis.

From Townhall, despite a lack of evidence, the original anthem kneeler keeps making accusations.

From The Washington Free Beacon, according to one expert, the "green new deal" will harm rather than hurt the environment.

From the Washington Examiner, Trump imposes a travel ban on Venezuela's "scab" legislators.

From The Federalist, although Senator Kamala Harris (D-Cal) might not agree, telling women to be careful does not excuse rape.

From American Thinker, fake news about a hole in an Antarctic glacier, which just happens to sit on a volcanic region.  (According to some people, my SUV, although thousands of miles away, is more responsible for that hole than the volcanoes with which the glacier is in direct contact.)

From Mexico News Daily, a market stand selling school uniforms is used to conceal am illegal tap into a gasoline pipeline.

From CBC News, part of the Keystone pipeline is shut down due to a possible leak in the St. Louis, Missouri area.

From Global News, the Cat Lake First Nation community on Ontario wants Prime Minister Trudeau to see the red rashes on their children, attributed to mold.

From the Express, former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk faces backlash for his comment about "a special place in hell" for some Brexit supporters.  (My recommended response for Brexiteers would be to tell him Dać buzi naszym brytujskim dupom!)

From the Evening Standard, European Commission President Juncker tells U.K. Prime Minister May that there will be no renegotiations.

From RFI, only about a third of the over 800 interpreters and others who worked for the French army in Afghanistan have been able to reach France.

From the NL Times, thousands of children protest for climate measures in The Hague, Netherlands.  (Considering that in 2015, China produced 10.642 million kilotons of carbon dioxide, but the Netherlands produced 0.165 million KT, rounded to the nearest 0.001 million KT, I again must ask, did this protest occur near any Chinese consulate or its embassy?  If anyone has any more recent numbers, please feel free to provide a link thereto in a comment.)

From Dutch News, 350 scientists write a letter in support of the protesting children.  (If you read Dutch, read the story at Trouw.)

From Gatestone Institute, are democracies such as the U.S. in trouble?

From LifeZette and the "you've got to be kidding" department, a man sues his parents because he did not consent to be born.  (What, exactly, was his mother supposed to do?)
