Saturday Stuff

Now that I'm back home on a cool cloudy Saturday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, First Son Hunter Biden uses Republican missteps to buy some time.

From Townhall, the Biden administrations shells out another $700,000 for another woke transgender program.

From The Washington Free Beacon and the "you've got to be kidding" department, speaking in South Carolina, President Biden claims to have started the civil rights movement.  (Perhaps he started the civil rights movement in the same sense that Al Gore started the Internet.)

From the Washington Examiner, Washington, D.C. gets the crime and disorder that it voted for.

From American Thinker, the larger left-wing context of Harvard's then-President Claudine Gay's plagiarism.

From NewsBusters, according to MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle, the inflation report, worse than expected, was "good-ish".

From Canada Free Press, the FBI is "the deepest part of the swamp".

From TCW Defending Freedom, the man who, in the early 1900s, proved that humans and nature could work together.

From EuroNews, pro-HamasPalestinian activists in Switzerland protest against the country's "neutrality" in the war between Hamas and Israel.  (I thought that Swiss neutrality was a longstanding tradition.)

From Voice Of Europe, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz uses pneumatic mail, scheduled to be discontinued in 2025, due to the threat of Russian hacking.  (If you read German, read the story at Bild.)

From The North Africa Post, Human Rights Watch warns against Tunisia's movement toward authoritarianism under President Kais Saied.

From The New Arab, a court in the UAE adjourns the trial of "several Muslim Brotherhood members" on terrorism-related charges.

From Allah's Willing Executioners, a 17-year-old girl is beaten and confined to her house in Vandœvre-lès-Nancy, France for allegedly being a lesbian.  (If you read French, read the story at Actu and FDeSouche.)

From Gatestone Institute, Iran's ballistic missile threat is growing.

From The Daily Signal, Republican Senators blast the Biden administration for using the SPLC for advice on "domestic terrorism".

From The Western Journal, the NFL wild-card playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers is postponed by one day due to an impending winter storm.  (The storm was probably caused by manmade global warming, of course.)

From BizPac Review, congresscritter AOC (D-NY) faces a backlash over her indifference to the migrant crisis in New York City.

From The Daily Wire, an illegal alien who killed an 8-year-old boy while driving drunk in 2019 is released from prison and later arrested again for alleged DUI.

From the Daily Caller, what could happen if the federal government partially shuts down on January 19th?

From the New York Post, a Houthi rocket-launching site on the outskirts of Hodeida, Yemen reportedly gets hit, but not by the U.S. military.

From Breitbart, congresscritter Seth Moulton (D-MA) claims that he would fire Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "in about five minutes".

From Newsmax, climate czar John Kerry plans to leave the Biden administration and help his reelection campaign.

And from SFGate, San Francisco Bay Area musician Sly Stone publishes a new autobiography.
