Wednesday Wanderings

On a warm sunny Wednesday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, a Willie, two Mickeys, and other sports figures.  (The Mickeys do not include my first favorite athlete Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees, whose boyhood home I visited in August 2021.  Go to this blog's archives for that month to see my pics of the house.)

From FrontpageMag, another of the top 10 lies of wokeness.

From Townhall, left-wingers go nuts after Twitter calls NPR "state-affiliated media".  (I'm pretty sure that the "P" in "NPR" stands for "Public", which is synonymous with "government-run".)

From The Washington Free Beacon, critics aren't buying President Biden's claim that he's cracking down at the border.

From the Washington Examiner, Biden is endangering the economy with his "uncompromising radicalism".

From The Federalist, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's indictment of  former President Trump is even more "pathetic and partisan" than anticipated.

From American Thinker, unequal treatment under the law for one means unequal treatment for all.

From CNS News, the Texas Senate passes a bill to ban puberty blockers, hormone treatment, and sex-change surgery being given to children.

From Fox News, the Army recovers the flight data recorders from two Black Hawk helicopters that collided a week ago, and posthumously promotes three of the nine soldiers who were killed in the collision.  (via LifeZette)

From NewsBusters, Soros-backed Judge Janet Protasiewicz (D) wins a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, giving it a Democrat majority.

From Canada Free Press, a woman in Oregon is denied a chance to adopt a child because she is a Christian.

From TeleSUR, four children are killed in an attack on a kindergarten in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.  (If you think that the attacker used a gun, you'd be wrong.)

From TCW Defending Freedom, the British newspaper The Guardian may be guilty of involvement with the slave trade, but the guilt does not belong to everyone.

From Snouts in the Trough, a look at Thailand's care homes for foreigners.

From EuroNews, soon-to-be-former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin announces that she will soon step down as the leader of the Social Democratic Party.

From Euractiv, is Germany still the "climate champion" that it claims to be?  (Its carbon dioxide emissions increased somewhat from 2020 to 2021, but its overall trend since 1990 appears to be downward.)

From ReMix, the U.K. Home Office's plan to house 500 migrants on a barge to be docked in the city of Portsmouth draws a backlash from local residents.

From Balkan Insight, Kosovo will investigate a prosecutor for allegedly neglecting the case of a murdered woman.

From The North Africa Post, Moroccan King Mohammed VI inaugurates a psychosocial rehab center in the city of Casablanca.

From The New Arab, civilian rule in Sudan is an "unlikely prospect".

From Palestinian Media Watch, Fatah celebrates its terror activities, including the murder of two Israeli brothers.

From Gatestone Institute, prosecuting political rivals is no compatible with democracy.

From The Stream, Trump's trial should be televised.  (A defendant has a right to a public trial, to televising it might not be a bad idea.)

From The Daily Signal, according to a former immigration judge, Washington, D.C.'s law that allows even illegal aliens to vote in local elections is "absolutely insane".

From The American Conservative, with all the talk about "authoritarianism", the sources of genuine authority need to be recovered.

From The Western Journal, former quarterback Colin Kaepernick keeps digging his hole deeper.

From BizPac Review, Fox News host Tucker Carlson calls the Trump indictment "the boldest election interference ever attempted in this country's history".

From The Daily Wire, here are the brands which have sponsored fake female trans activist Dylan Mulvaney.

From the Daily Caller, a Pennsylvania man is arrested after allegedly stealing a school bus, putting a dead deer inside of it, and shedding his clothes while being chased by police.  (Years ago, while on a hike, I came across a dead deer whose head had been removed.  I actually smelled it before I saw it, so I wonder if this guy's deer likewise emitted foul post-mortem odors.)

From the New York Post, who is Trump's alleged other "other woman"?

From Breitbart, Border Patrol agents in the Swanton Sector apprehend about 700 migrants who entered the U.S. from Canada during March, an increase of 1,000 percent over a year ago.  (Swanton is a town in northwestern Vermont, and includes a village having the same name.)

From Newsmax, Russian President Putin accuses Western spies of helping Ukraine stage "terror attacks" in Russia.

And from Sky News, a man annoyed at a game of Monopoly being played in front of his father's house in Brussels, Belgium walks into the street with a samurai sword.
