Friday Phenomena

On a cool cloudy Friday, after I gave myself a day off, here are some things going on:

From National Review, the Biden administration asks the Supreme Court to allow his student loan "forgiveness" program to take effect.

From FrontpageMag, the Democrats hail congresscritter Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal) as the greatest House Speaker ever.

From Townhall, ICE apprehends over 130 illegal alien sex offenders.

From The Washington Free Beacon, Republican Senators press social media companies to take steps to stop allowing users to organize illegal immigration and human smuggling schemes.

From the Washington Examiner, congresscritter Lauren Boebert (R-CO) narrowly wins reelection.

From The Federalist, conservatives can no longer hide from liberals but need to fight back.  (That's figuratively "fight back", neither yours truly nor the article are advocating violence.)

From American Thinker, what's going on in Arizona?

From CNS News, according to congresscritter Jamie Raskin (D-MD), marijuana should be decriminalized at the federal level.  (The article's title wrongly uses the abbreviation "Sen." before his last name.  This is incorrect because my Maryland Senators are Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen (both D).  I agree with Raskin because there is no constitutional authority for Congress banning or regulating drugs.  On the other hand, when alcohol was banned, a constitutional amendment was passed giving Congress that particular power.  If someone can explain why an amendment was required to give Congress the power to ban alcohol, but none is required to give them the power to ban other drugs, please leave a comment.)

From Red Voice Media, right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson recounts soon-to-be-former Speaker Pelosi's (D-Cal) greatest hits in under two minutes.  (via LifeZette)

From NewsBusters, according to presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, Pelosi is "the most important" speaker in history because she helped pass left-wing legislation such as Obamacare.

From Canada Free Press, political corruption in the U.S. leads to money laundering in Ukraine.

From TCW Defending Freedom, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt are "civil servants for a Davos government".

From Free West Media, Austrian FPÖ politicians meet with French politician Marine Le Pen.

From EuroNews, according to Swedish prosecutors, the Nord Stream pipeline explosions were caused by "gross sabotage".

From Euractiv, Russia warms to a prison exchange with the U.S. which would likely include basketball player Britney Griner.

From ReMix, according to Czech europarliamentcritter Tomáš Zdechovský, Afghans trying to cross the border between Slovakia and the Czech Republic are pretending to be Syrians.

From Balkan Insight, according to press freedom advocates, the media climate in Albania is getting worse.

From The North Africa Post, France suspends its development aid to Mali, which irks some NGOs.

From The New Arab, is the West ignoring Qatar's labor reforms?

From OpIndia, Taliban judges in Afghanistan are asked to implement sharia and its punishments.

From Israel Hayom, Israel offers "life-saving aid" to victims of a fire in a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
