Friday Fuss

On a sunny and mild Friday, here are some things going on:

From National Review, President Biden says that he'd be happy to debate former President Trump.

From FrontpageMag, what's eating Biden (whose uncle was not eaten by New Guineans)?

From The Washington Free Beacon, Columbia University lets a 48-hour deadline slide with no action taken against the student protesters.

From the Washington Examiner, a Trump defense lawyer at his hush money trial finds an inconsistency in the testimony of prosecution witness David Pecker.  (His name is from the "you can't make this stuff up" department.)

From The Federalist, conservatism is losing its "three legs".  (I've come to realize the dilemma we conservatives have.  We claim to want to reduce the size of government, but in order to put any of our policies into practice, we have to become part of the government that we allegedly want to restrain.)

From American Thinker, we will not submit to your wokeness.

From MRCTV, the anti-Jew protests at elite schools are not a surprise.

From NewsBusters, the media ignore a massive pro-Israel rally at Liberty University.

From Canada Free Press, the Catholic Church needs to return to tradition.

From TeleSUR, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro orders funding for 4,500 development projects.

From TCW Defending Freedom, invoking the late U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as a critic of Israel is an insult to her sense of justice.

From Snouts in the Trough, how civilizations rise and fall.

From EuroNews, the defense ministers of France and Germany sign a billion-euro arms deal.

From Voice Of Europe, Kosovo plans to introduce same-sex unions in May.

From ReMix, the German military deals with aging troops and slow recruitment.

From Balkan Insight, former Romanian President Ion Iliescu is questioned at his home about the "Mineriada Case".

From The North Africa Post, the Moroccan energy agency MASEN launches a tender for a bird chopper project.

From The New Arab, mass casualties are feared as the Rapid Support Forces close in on Al-Fashir, North Darfur, Sudan.

From OpIndia, a Hindu trader is attacked in Ochchan, Gujarat, India.

From Jewish News Syndicate, IDF troops rescue U.N. officials from terrorist mortar fire at the aid pier being built in Gaza.

From Gatestone Institute, incubating terrorism on U.S. college campuses.

From The Stream, university professors and administrators are directly responsible for the increase in Jew hatred on their campuses.

From The Daily Signal, FBI director Christopher Wray is accused of hypocrisy for the agency's monitoring of conservatives but not pro-Hamas protests.

From The American Conservative, Biden's revision of Title XI "is the beginning of the end for free speech".

From The Western Journal, Democrats run focus groups to learn why people don't like Vice President Harris and learn the unpleasant truth.

From BizPac Review, Trump sends a birthday greeting to former First Lady Melania and throws in a "courthouse zinger".

From Breitbart, Biden changes his walk from the White House to Marine One.

From Newsmax, about 1 in 5 samples of milk test positive for particles of the bird flu virus, but it's still safe.  (If there's one thing we've learned about viruses during the last few years is that information about them from the government should be taken with a bit of NaCl.)

And from SFGATE, congresscritter Adam Schiff's (D-Cal) luggage is stolen from his car as it sat in a parking garage in San Francisco.  (You could say that "Schiff happens", even to Schiff himself.)
