As the day and night have equal length and announce the start of spring, here are some things going on:
From National Review, why the raccoon dog theory for the origin of the coronavirus deserves skepticism.
From FrontpageMag, when private institutions such as banks try to change the world by social activism.
From Townhall, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) weighs in on the possible indictment of former President Trump.
From The Washington Free Beacon, according to her federal financial disclosures, congresscritter Barbara Lee (D-Cal) spent $20,000 of campaign funds on chauffeured cars.
From the Washington Examiner, former Russian President and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev suggests a drastic way of responding to the ICC arrest warrant against President Putin. (The article points out that Medvedev "held the title" of president "under Putin from 2008 to 2012", the key word, in my opinion, being "under". I've long noticed how there are many countries that have both a president and prime minister, and how in most of them, the prime minister - or equivalent positions such as Germany's chancellor - has the real power. Countries where the president has the real power include France, with President Emmanuel Macron, but they are more the exception. Since Medvedev was president "under" Putin, this confirms my belief that in Russia, the real power belongs to whichever office is occupied by Putin.)

The site Free West Media, to which I used to link almost every day, has not published any new articles since March 5th. The site Total Slovenia News, which announced a "vacation" last September, has still not returned from it. The Spanish site El País seems to rarely publish anything pertaining to Spain any more. That's why these three are not linked today. If anyone knows of any other sites in Spain or Slovenia that publish in English, please say so in a comment. Meanwhile, please bear with me while I figure out what to do with them, which could include dropping and possibly replacing them.
