From ReMix, after E.U. election results come out, the Chief Twit defends the German "anti-immigration" party AfD.  (The term "anti-immigration" does not mean that someone is opposed to all immigration, but only that they're opposed to uncontrolled, unvetted, and/or illegal immigration.  In other words, if someone wants any restrictions whatsoever on immigration, that person is "anti-immigration".)

From Newsmax, according to a poll, 51 percent of Americans think that it's "morally wrong" to change gender.  (This might depend on what is meant by "changing gender".  In some cases, a man puts on a dress or other female garb and "identifies" as a woman, without doing anything to his body.  This can be seen as a form of lying, which would be morally wrong.  In other cases, someone undergoes surgery in which their original genitals are removed and a facsimile of the opposite type attached.  Such a person now has the form of the opposite of his or her birth gender, but not the function.)
