Handel Beats Ossoff
Karen Handel (R) defeated Jon Ossoff (D) in the special election in the 6th district of Georgia. The seat had been vacated by Tom Price (R), who became President Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary. The seat was once held by Newt Gingrich (R), who spent two terms as Speaker of the House. The final tally was about 52 percent for Handel and 48 percent for Ossoff. With over $50 million spent by the two parties, this contest now stands as the most expensive House race in history.
Someone who apparently supported Ossoff created the Twitter hashtag "#VoteYourOssoff". I'd say that Handel kicked his Ossoff.
There have been reports that Ossoff doesn't actually live in the 6th district. Looks like he won't have to worry about needing to move.
Read more at CNN, NBC News, Politico, The Washington Post and The New York Times.
Naturally, the analysts have started analyzing:
From ABC News, what the results mean for each party.
From the Daily News, the "real lessons of Handel-Ossoff".
At HotAir, Allahpundit asks, "Did the polls get the Handel/Ossoff race wrong?" (My follow-up question would be, "You mean like they got the 2016 presidential race wrong?")
Form MarketWatch, why Handel and Trump won, and Ossoff lost.
And from the Washington Examiner, Ossoff complains about "money in politics", after spending six times as much as Handel. The hypocrisy is strong in this one (though present to some extent, in my opinion, in just about all politicians).

Music Break
I've been wanting to put up one of these for a while, and it looks like I finally got around to it. Like last month, I'm presenting songs that aren't all that well known. The first one, It Came Out Of The Sky, in reality came from Creedence Cleanwater Revival's album Willy And The Poor Boys. The video includes subtitles in Spanish.

In London, Vehicle Hits Pedestrians - Again
Once again, a vehicle has hit pedestrians in London. This time, however, it was not on any bridge, and the victims, not the suspected perpetrator, are Muslim. At around 12:20 a.m. British Time, a van struck people who were reportedly leaving the Finsbury Park Mosque after a Ramadan night prayer service. Twelve people have been reported injured. The van's driver has been arrested.
Read more at the Express, The Guardian, the Independent, BBC News and The Sun. Of these articles, The Sun states that two people are "feared dead", but I've found no confirmed reports of fatalities.
UPDATE: The links now indicate that one victim has died, eight have been taken to hospitals, and two were treated at the scene. Authorities are now calling the attack an act of terrorism. The attacker allegedly said that he wanted to "kill all Muslims".

Some More Stuff
Another day, more stuff to read and link:
Surprise, surprise. Europeans want their own governments to decide on immigration.
Open a suitcase, find a migrant.
Removing monuments isn't just for over-sensitive Americans any more.
Like I said, removing monuments isn't just for over-sensitive Americans any more.
Two rightwing protesters interrupt the simulated stabbing of Donald Trump/Julius Caesar. For the record, I don't condone what they did. Like it or not, this play, where ancient Romans are given a modern makeover, and in which the Caesar character looks like our current president, is free speech. However, I would also submit that what these two protesters did is microscopic compared to the leftwing violence that cancelled a speech by Milo Yannopoulos, among other recent incidents.
What happened when Officer Jeronimo Yanez shot Philando Castile? We don't really know.
Christians and Muslims to rebuild Mosul university library.
In the area of sports, here comes the Judge, here comes the Judge.
Which "head" was she referring to?
Mr. Bill's troubles are not going away any time soon. (This is not about a former president.)
The names of Mr. Bill's jurors will not be revealed.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie. You can guess the rest.
Could economic ties be established between these two countries?
Happy belated birthday, your Majesty.
Virginia Tech's athletic director uses science and art to hire the right coaches.
And to finish, summer internships are allegedly ruining the American dream.

A Sasquatch's Dozen - And A Bonus
Here's the Sasquatch's Dozen, 12 things in the news today:
From Breitbart London, more asylum recipients are going on vacation back where they came from. (If the old country is so dangerous that you had to leave, isn't going back a bit risky?)
From the Express, French voters don't want President Emmanuel Macron to have too much power.
From Israellycool, some questions for Linda Sarsour.
From CBC News, Canada looks to make citizenship requirements easier - and removal of citizenship more difficult.
From the Daily Mail, British politician Jeremy Corbyn has some ideas on where to house victims of the fire that destroyed the Grenfell Tower.
From National Review, let's all just grow up.
From AhlulBayt News Agency, more than 100 groups agree to join the Syrian army.
From Straits Times, an Indonesian tribe converts from Animism to Islam.
From Russia Today, a man wields a knife outside the British Parliament building.
From The Local ES, Spaniards don't appear to want a Spexit, but they welcome a referendum.
From Fox News Insider, Kellyanne Conway hypothesizes about the reaction if she were to be shot.
And from Billboard, it's time for Carlos Santana to change his theme song.
Here's the bonus story, from this past April:
From Breitbart Texas, the sorry state of our southern border. I'll add my own opinion on this. If you support open borders and/or oppose any new wall, you effectively support the horrors reported in this article.

Congressman And Others Shot At Baseball Practice
This morning at a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) and at least four others were shot, including two Capitol Police officers. Scalise was shot in the hip, has undergone surgery, and is expected to fully recover. The alleged shooter has been taken into custody. Scalise and other Republicans were practicing for a charity baseball game against congressional Democrats.
Read more at WTOP, USA Today, NBC News, Fox News and The Hill.
