Tuesday Links

On a sunny and fairly mild Tuesday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, why the Keystone pipeline is actually good for America.

From FrontpageMag, President Biden rationalizes China's human rights abuses against the Uyghurs.  (Many Uyghurs, who are predominantly Muslim, are being held in detention camps in northwestern China.  Biden's predecessor was accused of Islamophobia for far less.)

From Townhall, Democrat congresscritters send a letter demanding that cable and big tech platforms ban right-leaning media.

From The Washington Free Beacon, Democrats see infighting over minimum wage, border control and student debt.

From the Washington Examiner, on January 6th, police evacuated two congressional buildings because of a pipe bomb discovered at the nearby RNC headquarters, not because of trespassers.

From The Federalist, stop the "Christian nationalist" smear.

From American Thinker, on the Pennsylvania election case, the Supreme Court "goes full Nicaragua".

From CNS News, according to congresscritter Don Young (R-AK), anyone who thinks that fossil fuels can be immediately cut off "is smoking pot".

From Snouts in the Trough, the "global warming" scammers.

From the Evening Standard, Prime Minister Boris "the Spider" Johnson is "very optimistic" that the U.K. could end its coronavirus restrictions on June 21st.  (Although apparently no one in the U.K. wants to call Boris "the Spider", I like to call him that because of the song Boris The Spider by The Who, the first ever written by bassist John Entwistle.)

From the Irish Examiner, according to Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Ireland will continue its Level 5 coronavirus lockdown until April 5th.

From The Brussels Times, yet another grenade is found in Antwerp, Belgium.

From Hungary Today, Hungarians disagree about the benefits of a "vaccine passport".

From Sputnik International, Ukrainians are reportedly "disappointed" by U.S. President Biden's lack of action against the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.  (Don't the Ukrainians realize that Biden has a problem only with pipelines in North America?  Perhaps they might remember his son Hunter getting a lucrative job with the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, despite having neither experience in the gas production business nor any knowledge of the Ukrainian language.)

From The Sofia Globe, Health Minister Kostadin Angelov assures Bulgarians on the supply of coronavirus vaccines.

From Ekathimerini, Donkey Hotels awaits a tourism rebound in Greece.

From Independent Balkan News Agency, Foreign Ministers Bujar Osmani (North Macedonia) and Jean-Ives Le Drian (France) meet in Paris.

From Free West Media, Génération Identitaire member Thaïs d'Escufon responds to the French government's intention to dissolve the group.

From ReMix, pro-migration activists sue the E.U. border agency Frontex.

From Turkish Minute, in four years, Turkish authorities have detained or arrested 219 mothers and pregnant women over alleged links to the Gülen movement.

From The Times Of Israel, the Israeli cabinet approves a nighttime curfew over the Purim holiday.
