Rainday Links To Start August

On a rainy and unseasonably cool Sunday at the beginning of August, here are some things going on:

From the Washington Examiner, the link between coronavirus cases and deaths is greatly weakened in the surge of the delta variant.

From American Thinker, the three horsemen of President Biden's apocalypse.

From LifeZette, according to congresscritter AOC (D-NY), the Republicans are preparing to overturn any election results they don't like.  (I'll forgive her for being very young during 2000 when her Democrat predecessors tried that sort of thing.)

From NewsBusters, Sky News Australia gets suspended from YouTube.

From Canada Free Press, move over, fat lady, it's not over until the Marxist coronavirus swings.

From TeleSUR, women from Venezuela, Ecuador and Brazil win gold medals at the Olympics.

From The Conservative Woman, some Brits are "attracted to tractors".

From EuroNews, Poland observes the 77th anniversary of the Warsaw uprising.

From The North Africa Post, Moroccan King Mohammed VI calls on Algerian President Abdelmedjid Teboune to reopen the border between the two countries and to work together.

From The New Arab, two Tunisian parliamentcritters are arrested after expressing opposition to the actions of President Kais Saied.  (What is this "freedom of speech" you speak of?)

From The News, despite claims to the contrary, Pakistan is poised to be the more food-insecure country in southern Asia.

From Jewish News Syndicate, the International Olympic Committee and Palestinian athletes.

From Gatestone Institute, arbitrary arrests, kidnapping and torture in Turkey.

From The Daily Wire, Pelosi isn't the only powerful woman in Washington, D.C. who violates her own mask mandate.

From Fox News, congresscritter Kevin McCarthy (R-Cal) faces calls to resign after joking about hitting Pelosi with a gavel.  (McCarthy obviously does not realize that the "it was a joke" excuse is not available to Republicans.  The story comes via the Daily Caller.)

From the New York Post, Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) calls Pelosi's Capitol riot investigation "partisan".  (Have I picked on the Speaker enough for one day?  OK, no more about her.)

From Breitbart, three Border Patrol agents assigned to process illegal migrants apprehended in Texas test positive for the coronavirus.

From Newsmax, former Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin (R-AK) considers running for Senator.
