Saturday Stuff

On a cool cloudy Saturday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, Speaker McCarthy (R-Cal) has been underestimated.  (Or as President Bush the Younger might say, McCarthy was "misunderestimated".)

From Townhall, congresscritter James Comer (R-KY) claims that President Biden's legal team is intimidating possible witnesses against his son Hunter.

From The Washington Free Beacon, a portrait of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas donated to Yale Law School seems to have disappeared.

From the Washington Examiner, "why does the left hate success?"  (Perhaps the question should be about how the left defines "success".)

From American Thinker, fake female Dylan Mulvaney shows of his totalitarian side.

From LifeZette, Trump's presidency showed that conservative values work.

From NewsBusters, a movie about eco-terrorists bombs at the box office.

From Canada Free Press, is the U.S. really out of control?

From TCW Defending Freedom, contrary to the Chief Twit's concerns, computers will never outsmart humans.

From Snouts in the Trough, a look at South Africa after apartheid.

From EuroNews, Russia blames Ukrainian drones for a massive fire at an oil depot in Crimea.

From The North Africa Post, a leader of the group Polisario is caught red-handed diverting a fuel truck from one of the Tindouf camps.

From The New Arab, protesters in Lebanon and Syria denounce the former's expulsion of refugees from the latter.

From Allah's Willing Executioners, a 9th-grade student in Valence, France declares that he is planning an attack.  (If you read French, read the story at FDeSouche.)

From Gatestone Institute, thousands of political prisoners, including media workers, languish in Turkish jails.

From The Stream, should Christians accommodate requests from LGBT people?

From The American Conservative, release the Nashville, Tennessee school shooter's manifesto.

From The Western Journal, according to the founder of TWJ, the real reason why Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox News is far more sinister than anything suspected.

From BizPac Review, a fact-checker hammers Biden's "highly misleading" claim about the federal deficit.

From The Daily Wire, the man who claimed to be "the science" wants all of the credit and none of the blame.

From the Daily Caller, a California school district approves courses accusing Israel of "ethnic cleansing" and "war crimes".  (Ironically, the ancestors of the Jews were ethnically cleansed from their homeland not once, not twice, but at least three times.)

From Breitbart, gun control advocate Shannon Watts wrongly claims that no background check is required for people to purchase long guns in Texas.

From Fox News, a Mexican citizen is suspected of killing five of his neighbors in San Jacinto County, Texas after one of them asked him to stop firing his rifle.  (This seems to the latest in a series of shootings in which the shooter appeared to have overreacted to a perceived provocation.  Others include an 84-year-old man who allegedly shot a teenager who mistakenly knocked on his door, and a man who shot a six-year-old girl and her parents when a ball rolled into his yard.  The story comes via Breitbart.)

From Newsmax, according to Trump campaign spokeswoman Liz Harrington, he "will win any debate", but admits that the system is rigged against him.

And from the New York Post, Ken Jennings defeats his Jeopardy! co-host Mayim Bialik on Wheel of Fortune.
