From FrontpageMag, the U.S. Navy turns to a drag queen in an effort to recruit new members.

From Townhall, according to Border Council President Brandon Judd, the White House wants the current chaos on the southern border.

From The Washington Free Beacon, the Democrat donor funding the rape lawsuit against former President Trump visited the private island owned by the late Jeffrey Epstein.

From the Washington Examiner, don't let the coronavirus tyrants rewrite history of what they did.

From Canada Free Press, the elite coming for humanity goes from conspiracy to reality.

From TeleSUR, Brazilian Federal Police search former President Jair Bolsonaro's condo in the capital city of Brasilia.  (I'm pretty sure that Trump can commiserate.)

From TCW Defending Freedom, carbon dioxide is a blessing, not a curse.  (As I look to Snouts in the Trough, I find that its article for today is merely a summary of this one in TCW DF.)

From Polskie Radio, Poland celebrates it Constitution Day.

From Radio Prague, a new education project shows students in the Czech Republic what the Soviet Gulag was like.  (In my opinion, such a project should be made widely available in American schools.)

From The Slovak Spectator, could you be a wood raft guide in Slovakia?

From Daily News Hungary, what will happen to the Chain Bridge in  Budapest, Hungary?

From The Moscow Times, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denies that his country was involved in the drone attacks in Moscow.

From Balkan Insight, a Greek court bans the "far-right" party Ellines from participating in Greece's upcoming elections, since it was formed by a former member of the party Golden Dawn.  (I've long been skeptical about the label "far-right" as applied to European politicians and parties.  If you read Greek, read related stories in Kathimerini and AMNA.)
