Wednesday Whatnot

On a cloudy and humid Wednesday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, the appalling crackdown on parents by the Department of Justice.

From FrontpageMag, teaching about slavery, even where the owners were black.

From Townhall, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe (D) claims that President Biden is dragging down his campaign.

From The Washington Free Beacon, congresscritter Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) admits wearing masks only for the cameras.

From the Washington Examiner, Biden's ratings go down in polls about his honesty and competence.

From The Federalist, parents across America refuse to be intimidated by Attorney General Merrick Garland calling them "domestic terrorists".  (I'm more happy than ever that he was not put on the Supreme Court.)

From American Thinker, migrants and refugees are Biden's bioweapon.

From CNS News, a record low number of refugees were resettled in the U.S. during fiscal year 2021.

From the eponymous site of Steve Gruber, you could get censored on Twitter, even while lying in your casket.  (via LifeZette)

From NewsBusters, how big tech allows "TERF" but censors science.

From Canada Free Press, Biden and his puppets erase the American maxim "no one left behind".

From TeleSUR, firefighting continues in the Argentine province of Cordoba.

From TCW Defending Freedom, why do we assume that politicians are woeful, but not wicked?

From Snouts in the Trough, are you worried about donkeys, or are you being taken for one?  (This reminds me of something written by a high school friend.  "He rode horse as bold as brass, while I was sitting on my donkey.")

From Free West Media, France introduces a bill to require everyone to be vaccinated against the coronavirus starting next January 1st.

From EuroNews, Rachele Mussolini, granddaughter of the late dictator, wins the most votes in Rome's municipal elections.

From Euractiv, small parties in Germany pick the Social Democrats instead of outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats to have talks for forming a coalition government.

From ReMix, Germany's attempt to have a green energy revolution comes to an end.

From Independent Balkan News Agency, parliamentary parties in Montenegro have not yet reached an agreement on reshuffling their government.

From Allah's Willing Executioners, a mosque in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium is linked to extremism.  (If you read French, read the story at Le Soir.)

From The North Africa Post, Moroccan police dismantle another ISIS cell, this one in the city of Tangier.

From YNetNews, Presidents Issac Herzog (Israel), Frank-Walter Steinmeier (Germany), and Volodymyr Zelenskyy (Ukraine) attend a service marking the 80th anniversary of the Babi Yar massacre.  (Babi Yar is a ravine near Kiev, Ukraine.  Due to the similarity of the Ukrainian and Polish languages, I can make an educated guess that the name might mean "old woman canyon".)

From The New Arab, the Syrian government breaks a ceasefire in the region of Idlib.

From Gatestone Institute, why Arabs are annoyed with the European Parliament.

From The Stream, a school board tries to silence a parent who objects to some very objectionable material in school libraries.

From The Daily Signal, the Air Force once again rises to a challenge in evacuating people from Afghanistan.

From The American Conservative, how coronavirus policies snuff out small businesses.

From Sino Daily, according to Taiwanese Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng, the Taiwan-China situation is the "most grim" in four decades.

From BizPac Review, according to an opinion column, political terrorism is directed at concerned parents.

From The Western Journal, armed cartel smugglers reportedly stand in the Rio Grande and taunt Texas border guards.  (This gives me an idea.  Is there any way that Florida or Louisiana could lend Texas some of their gators?)

From The Daily Wire, the Los Angeles city council approves vaccination mandates for entering various indoor businesses.

From the New York Post and the "don't hold your breath" department, Republicans urge action and transparency from President Biden on the southern border crisis.

From Breitbart, according to a poll, a plurality of people believes that the Democrats have accomplished less than what was expected of them.  (Considering what some of them are intending, I consider this to be good news.)

From Newsmax, Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Tom Cotton (R-Ark) demand some answers from the aforementioned Attorney General Merrick Garland.

And from the Daily Callerat a Conservative Party Conference, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson promises to "build back beaver".
