From the Washington Examiner, congresscritter Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) defends her comment calling for a "national divorce". (I believe that such a split could never realistically happen. One reason is the desire by the left to control people's lives. If the U.S. could somehow be divided into two separate countries, one governed by right-wing policies and the other by left-wing policies, this would remove a great number of people from control by the latter, something which the left would never tolerate.)
From The Federalist, the media still insist that the George Floyd riots of 2020 were "mostly peaceful".

From Canada Free Press, a professor at Yale suggests that suicide is the best option for the elderly.
From CBC News, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Canadian federal government is working on closing the Roxham Road border crossing to stop the influx of illegal irregular migrants. (Roxham Road runs from the state of New York to the province of Quebec, but is interrupted at the border, where migrants have to walk across.)
From Global News, inflation in Canada appears to be coming down, except at grocery stores.
From CTV News, the Canadian military says that it has tracked and stopped Chinese attempts to surveil its Arctic waters.
From TeleSUR, rescuers are still looking for 57 people missing due to landslides caused by heavy rain in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
From TCW Defending Freedom, possible parallels between "Davos, Davros, Doctor Who and the WHO".
From Snouts in the Trough, what will the next Scottish "empress" do?
From Free West Media, a U.K. counter-terrorism program warns against the works of Tolkien and Shakespeare. (Would my high school senior English class have been flagged for reading Macbeth?)
From the Express, a boxing match between Brexit-supporting U.K. Tory parliamentcritter Lee Anderson and Remainer protester Steve Bray has been set up.
From the Evening Standard, ISIS bride Shamima Begum loses her appeal to have her U.K. citizenship reinstated.
From the (U.K.) Independent, according to Home Secretary Suella Braverman, it is not "racist or bigoted" to acknowledge the pressures caused by migrants arriving in the U.K. illegally.
From the (Irish) Independent, the two co-leaders of the Irish party Social Democrats both resign.
From the Irish Examiner, a turtle believed to have come from Florida in the U.S. is found in Ireland's County Mayo and is currently being looked after at Dingle Oceanworld.

From The Brussels Times, 37 defendants will go on trial for allegedly smuggling 1.9 tonnes of she-don't-lie into Belgium.

From ReMix, over a third of Ukrainians currently in Germany want to return home after the war ends.
From Allah's Willing Executioners, a German man of Turkish origin allegedly stabs a five-year-old girl to death in Berlin. (If you read German, read the story at Bild.)
From the CPH Post, Danes turn against virtual reality.
From EuroNews, a Spanish teacher at a private secondary school in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France is stabbed by a student while teaching a class and later dies.
From Euractiv, according to a former Russian diplomat, there will be peace in Ukraine only without President Putin.
From Balkan Insight, Croatia's entry into the eurozone brings a large increase in counterfeit euro notes.
From The North Africa Post, the NGO Horizons Sans Frontières calls on Moroccan King Mohammed's help to save people expelled by Algeria and stranded in the Sahara.
From The New Arab, over 200 planes carry quake-related aid to government-held areas of Syria.
From LatestLy, a picture allegedly showing an imam kissing a dog's paw is not genuine.
From Barron's, Spanish police arrest the father of two women who were killed by family members in Gujrat, Pakistan.

From BizPac Review, former Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin (R) repeats her advice to Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) that he steps aside, and makes a pitch to be former President Trump's running mate in 2024. (I recall that she didn't help all that much when she was the late Senator John McCain's (R-AZ) running mate in 2008.)
From The Daily Wire, Biden is the most Polish-Jewish-Black-Puerto Rican-Greek-Irish-Catholic president in the history of the U.S. (Or is he Bideno, or maybe Bidenski?)
From the Daily Caller, Biden reportedly still hasn't made a decision to run for reelection in 2024.
From the New York Times, a Polish woman named Julia Faustina claims to be the same person as Madeleine McCann, a British girl who was abducted at age 3 in 2007 while on vacation with her family in Portugal. (This story reminds me of a woman named Anna Anderson, who claimed to be the Russian Princess Anastasia, which claim was disproven by mitochondrial DNA analysis. In an interesting parallel, Faustina has lived in Poland and Germany, while Anderson was born in a former part of Germany which is now in Poland, and later lived elsewhere in Germany.)
From Breitbart, the Supreme Court hears arguments in a case involving terrorism and Twitter.
From Newsmax, California's budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year is $7 billion more predicted last month by Governor Gavin Newsom (D).
