From FrontpageMag, vice presidential candidate Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) and rumors of Haitians eating pets.

From the New York Post, a federal judge pauses Biden's latest attempt at a student loan bailout.

For the last two or three days, the Washington Examiner has indicated that I've reached the "maximum number of articles" and that I should sign up to their newsletter to read anything more.  If I were to link anything from them, I might be forcing my readers to do likewise if they want to read them.  I don't think it's worth it to link stuff that youz out there might be not be able to access.  Meanwhile, Voice Of Europe keeps giving me a "server error" message and thus appears to be having some technical difficulties.  Thus, I must sadly inform everyone that for the foreseeable future, I've lost two sources.  If either situation changes, I'll be sure to let youz know.
