Various And Sundry

Other than the previously posted election of Frank Beamer to the College Football Hall of Fame, some other various and sundry things have been going on.  But as I may have mentioned before, "sundry" is not to be confused with "sun-dry", especially since there hasn't been enough sun around today to dry anything.  So here are some of those things:


From National Review, liberals stay silent as FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is subjected to racist attacks.

From Sky News, a couple who met online are convicted of plotting an ISIS-inspired attack.

From CNN, Luke Skywalker's mother, well actually the actress who portrays her, has to point out that the Golden Globe nominees for best director are all male.  (Yes, I used the term "actress".)

From Voice Of Europe, German TV unleashes propaganda against Poland.  (Tak, to gniewa mię, I mean, yes, this angers me.)

From Defend Europa, a Sardinia left-wing politician allegedly wants to bring migrants into Sardinia to replace the population.  (via Voice Of Europe)



From Time, 64 migrants are feared dead trying to cross the Mediterranean, after their dinghy sinks.



From The Guardian, the Belgian government risks collapse over the deportation of 100 people back to Sudan.


From Hürriyet Daily News and the "try not to laugh" department, a Turkish academic claims that Noah called his son on a cell phone.  (Does anyone know where those ante-diluvian cell towers were?)



From Townhall, President Trump signs an EO expanding broadband in rural America.
