Saturday Stories

On a warm sunny Saturday in Wisconsin, as I prepare for the journey homeward, here are some things going on:

From National Review, the investigation of First Son Hunter Biden is a joke.

From Townhall, Border Patrol agents find weapons suspected to belong to Mexican drug cartels, on the Texas side of the Rio Grande.

From The Washington Free Beacon, President Biden's latest senior moment.  (The article has links to his previous ones.)

From the Washington Examiner, what the bankruptcy of the electric bus maker Proterra says about the future of electric vehicles for mass transit.

From The Federalist, what the country-folk song Rich Men North Of Richmond shows a glimpse of the lives of Americans left behind.

From American Thinker, what really happened during the Capitol riot?

From NewsBusters, wokeness is still very much alive and crushing free speech.

From Canada Free Press, "you were warned" about things happening today.

From TCW Defending Freedom, when will all these "do-gooding" rock stars practice what they preach?

From Snouts in the Trough, give a man a stick, and pretty soon he'll beat you with it.

From EuroNews, English and French forces launch a rescue operation in the English Channel after a migrant boat collapses.

From The New Arab, Two Tunisians, including a baby, are killed when a migrant boat sinks in the Mediterranean.

From Gatestone Institute, is the Biden administration abandoning Israel for the mullahs of Iran?

From The Stream, a review of the book Running into the Fire by Terri Hasdorff.

From The Daily Signal, the dilemma for pro-lifers and "the politics of prudence".

From The American Conservative, dealing with abortion by the democratic process.  (To my disappointment, TAC has started requiring readers to subscribe in order to read some of its articles.)

From Breitbart, Biden seeks $800 million for fighting the import of fentanyl, but $24 billion more for Ukraine.

From Newsmax, Russia accuses Ukraine of "terrorism" for an attempted attack on the Crimean Bridge which spans the Kerch Strait.  (Which modern war has not involved any attacks on bridges?)

And from SFGate, a former engineer makes and sells rare gourmet donuts in Union City, California.
