Friday Links

It will soon be the last weekend of the first month of this year.  As it approaches, here are some things going on (with some of my own commentary):

From The Washington Times, the crime rate of illegal aliens in Arizona is twice that of the native population.

From The Daily Caller, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists that bonuses resulting from the recent tax cuts are crumbs.

From the California Political Review, the IRS can easily block California Democrats' plan to increase tax deductions.  (H/T luchadora for the Tweet)

From Behind The News, a Boko Haram terrorist is arrested in Germany.  (All those people who insist that the migrants entering Europe are not dangerous might wish to reconsider.  Again, the H/T goes to lunchadora for the Tweet.)

From the Independent, food from the Western Midlands of England is found in an ISIS-controlled part of Syria.


From the Tampa Bay Times, lawmakers in Utah advance a bill to prevent abortions based on Down syndrome.  (via LifeNews)



From CNS News, a Catholic archbishop calls for a "ceremony to bless homosexual couples".

From Voice Of Europe, there are now seven anti-immigration countries in the E.U.  (Perhaps a better way to put it might be that seven countries in the E.U. want to decide immigration policy for themselves instead of having those policies dictated by the E.U.)


From Radio Poland, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki defends his country's immigration policy.  (via Voice Of Europe)


From France24, French Guiana deals with migration and drug smuggling.  (French Guiana is in South America, and is the only territory on either American continental mainland that is still politically connected to the European country which colonized it.)

From Breitbart London, some Muslim groups in the U.K. don't want a female anti-terror leader.

From the Birmingham Mail, a British teenager who wanted to be a nurse for ISIS gets a jail sentence.


From Russia Today, men in France could be fined for certain behaviors toward women.

From The Express Tribune, two human rights activists get jail sentences in Saudi Arabia.

From the Metro, drivers who stop along the road to pray could be fined in Abu Dhabi.


From the New York Post, Michigan State's AD steps down.

From Page Six, the latest incarnation of Colonel Sanders is female (and very talented).


And from Digital Spy, 11 weird shows that, believe it or not, were put on TV.  (I plead guilty to having watched nos. 2, 3, and 6.)
