Wednesday Whatnot

From FrontpageMag, the U.S. has just put on its first show trial.

From Townhall, when former President Trump's Secret Service driver tried to testify before the January 6th Inquisition Committee.

From The Washington Free Beacon, anti-Israel protesters at Stanford University injure a police officer and vandalize their president's office.

From the Washington Examiner, at First Son Hunter Biden's gun possession trial, his ex-wife and his ex-girlfriend testify.  (Now that's what I call a "double whammy".)

From The Federalist, no, Hunter Biden's trial does not disprove allegations of a two-tiered justice system.

From American Thinker, according to NASA, 80 percent of the "global warming" in the past 10 years was caused by "net zero" policies.

From MRCTV, as President Biden's executive order on the border takes effect, a large group of illegal aliens floods into California.

From CTV News, the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada comes to its senses when dealing with pro-HamasPalestinian protesters.

From TeleSUR, Colombia and FARC terrorists dissidents start peace negotiations.

From TCW Defending Freedom, in the E.U.'s woke imagination, there are fascists everywhere.

From the Irish Examiner, Irish Taoiseach Simon Harris wants "fair play" from banks in relation to mortgage holders.

From The Brussels Times, according to a campaign group, far-right parties are trying to "cash-in" on protests by farmers.  (As pointed out by the TCWDF article above, someone may be "far-right" or "fascist" if he or she believes that borders might be worth defending, that the climate change agenda deserves a wee bit of skepticism, that there might just be a slight problem with Islam, or that the E.U. is a bit bureaucratic.  In other words, pertaining to that last item, if you want your country to be governed by its own elected representatives rather than unelected international bureaucrats, you might be "far-right".)
