Bigfoot's Latest Road Trip

After driving for much of the day, I have arrived at an undisclosed location in east central Ohio.  I regret not finding anything to take pictures of, but that will hopefully change very soon.  On the other hand, I did find a hotel and a place to eat, so I'm posting much later than normal.  Due to such time constraints, my news posts will be shorter.  For the time being, here are a few things going on:

From Free West Media, the director of an art school in Dresden, Germany defends an employee who had stood for election for the AfD.

From Deutsche Welle, Germany pushes climate change as a security risk.

From the NL Times, the mayor of Eindhoven, Netherlands bans a demonstration by PEGIDA.

From France24, France will ban the destruction of some unsold goods.

From RFI, a French imam has been sentenced to prison for helping illegal migrants try to cross the English Channel.

From the Express, President Trump hints that the U.S. is looking forward to a post-Brexit trade deal with the U.K.

From the Evening Standard, a Trump supporter in London gets milkshaked.

From the Independent, Conservative MP Boris Johnson tells his fellow Tories to deliver on Brexit or the party is doomed.

From CBC News, with the help of SpaceX, Canada will into space.

From Morocco World News, on the feast of Eid Al Fitr, Moroccan King Mohammed VI pardons 755 prisoners.

From El País, Spain's Supreme Court suspends the exhumation of the late dictator Franco.

From SwissInfo, why is there a flurry of activity between the U.S. and Switzerland?

From ANSA, a Kenyan man claims to be the son of an Italian priest, and wants to talk to the Pope.

From Total Croatia News, a smuggler carrying 33 suspected illegal migrants crashes into a police roadblock at Lučko, Croatia.

From the Hungary Journal, Prime Minister Orban speaks at a celebration of Hungary's National Cohesion Day.

From Daily News Hungary, an author wonders when Hungary will "get back its lost territories".  (I have a feeling that the people and governments of Slovakia, Romania and Croatia might want to say something about that.)

From The Slovak Spectator, Slovakia's Christian Democrats question the E.P. election results.  (I now have to deal with the fact that Democrats in both my country of citizenship and my main ancestral country have trouble accepting election results.)

From Radio Praha, Myanmar head of government (and Nobel laureate) Aung San Suu Kyi meets with Czech officials.

From Radio Poland, Polish President Andrzej Duda hails the 1989 vote as the "triumph that changed the world".

From Russia Today, Russia test-launches a new anti-ballistic missile.

From Sputnik International, an American woman becomes the youngest person to visit every country in the world.

Note: It appears that the wi-fi in this place has become very unstable and sssslllllooooooowwww, so I will stop here.
