We got a small dusting of snow this morning in Maryland. It was so powdery that I could use a broom instead of a shovel to clear my section of the sidewalk. So as the New Year gets closer, here are some things going on:
From the New York Post, if you're going to Times Square, it's best not to drink.
From the Evening Standard, 12 ways to celebrate New Year's Day around the world.
From LifeNews, 13 pro-abortion celebrities to boycott.
From Russia Today, in Sweden, Jesus gets a new pronoun.
From Voice Of Europe, left-wing Austrians call their new government "heirs of Nazism", and a record number of car fires have occurred in the Netherlands in 2017.
From Reuters, Greece seeks to cancel asylum given to a Turkish soldier.
From UAWire, the Polish government says that only Poland decides whether to accept refugees. (via Voice Of Europe)
From the Express, British police search for terror suspects in Sheffield.
From Total Croatia News, a migrant entering Croatia hiding on the underside of a bus is returned to Serbia. (Sounds like he literally threw himself under a bus. If you read Croatian, read the original story at Večernji List, the title of which translates to "evening letter", if an educated guess from my knowledge of the related Polish language is correct.)
From New Europe, Turkey claims that E.U. funds for Syrian refugees are not all being used correctly.
From Sputnik International, GDP and wages have grown in the U.K. "despite" worries about Brexit. (Or maybe the Brexit itself, or at least the anticipation thereof, helped a little.)
From Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Bosnia charges 29 people with war crimes.
From The Japan Times, ISIS claims responsibility for the supermarket bombing in St. Petersburg.
From News(dot)com(dot)au, a man has died from injuries sustained in the car-ramming terror attack in Melbourne, Australia, becoming its first fatality.
From India TV, in India, 51 girls have been rescued from a madrasa where they allegedly were sexually abused.
From the Luxora Leader, an Egyptian-born Muslim woman spews hate for Coptic Christians - from her home in New Jersey.
From The Straits Times, a Malaysian Muslim party leaders says that only Muslims may join the Malaysian cabinet or make policy.
From American Thinker, "how to fight terrorism the Russian way".
From Townhall, anti-government protests, including hijab removal, sweep Iran. (Two stories I found yesterday noted some of the protests. This story could be considered a follow-up.)
From The Times Of Israel, three protesters in Iran have reportedly been shot dead.
From The Guardian, it's been the biggest unrest in Iran since 2009. (The last two links come via BizPac Review, who note the U.S. media's general reluctance to report about these events.)
From Al Arabiya, in response to the protests, Iran cuts off Internet access in some cities.
From Autosport, Dale Jr. find retirement "weird".
And from Fox News, as Vice President Pence finds out, "MAGA" gets a new definition.
