From The Washington Free Beacon, Democrat congresscritters drive luxury cars at taxpayer expense.  (In doing so, they also contribute to manmade carbon dioxide emissions.)

From the Washington Examiner, Turkish authorities arrest dozens of people for online posts supporting detained opposition leader Ekrem İmamoğlu.  (What is this "freedom of speech" you speak of?)

From The Federalist, Wisconsin state Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford donated to a Democrat-aligned fundraising platform now facing allegations of fraud.

From American Thinker, totalitarianism is like the hydra of Greek mythology.  (Back here in real life, I once visited the Greek island of Hydra.)

From Snouts in the Trough, stay tuned for a "pretty good" blog tomorrow.

From EuroNews, according to former Polish President Lech Wałęsa, Europeans need to improve democracy.

From ReMix, homicides jump sharply in Berlin, with almost half of crime suspects being foreigners.

From Russia Today, Russian President Putin approves new rules for Ukrainians present in Russia.

From Sputnik International, Moscow's non-commodity and non-energy export went to 157 countries in 2024.

From Ekathimerini, Greek opposition parliamentcritters walk out of a session inquiring into the train crash near the municipality of Tempi.  (The municipality, whose name ends with "-i", includes the Vale of Tempe, whose name ends with "-e".  Thus, the crash is called the "Tempe train crash".)

From the Greek City Times, the Greek government imposes building limits on small towns.

From Balkan Insight, Serbia is angered by a defense agreement between Croatia, Albania and Kosovo.

From The North Africa Post, Spanish authorities arrest a suspected ISIS supporter in the city of Córdoba, with help from Morocco's General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance.

From The Daily Wire, a drug dealer whose sentence was commuted by then-President Biden is arrested and charged with more crimes.  (One of his alleged offenses is possessing a gun, which is forbidden to convicted felons.  This shows how criminals don't obey gun laws because they don't obey laws in general, and thus why more gun laws won't stop criminals from committing gun crime.)

From the Daily Caller, the New York Court of Appeals strikes down a New York City law that allowed non-citizens to vote.

From the New York Post, a theater opens in the Bronx, only that second in that New York borough.

From Breitbart, Chinese officials reportedly force Uyghurs in the aforementioned region of Xinjiang to video themselves eating lunch during Ramadan, which would violate their religious rules for that month.  (What is this "freedom of religion" you speak of?)
