Sunday Stuff

On the Sunday in the middle of Labor Day weekend, here are some things going on:

From Sputnik International, protesters in Chemnitz, Germany carry portraits of victims of alleged attacks by migrants.

From Russia Today, Turkish President Erdoğan says that his country does not need anyone's permission to buy Russian missiles.

From the Sunday Express, a Tory MP outlines four steps for a "better Brexit".

From the Metro, U.K. Prime Minister May says that there won't be a second Brexit vote.

From the Independenthundreds of civil servants have withdrawn from the department assigned with delivering Brexit.



From Total Croatia News, the yacht Christina O visits the harbor of Šibenik, Croatia.  (If you read Croatian, read the story at Morski, whose name means "of the sea".)




From Greek Reporter, the world's largest ever portion of French fries is produced in Naxos, Greece.  (There's an old joke that French fries were first made in Greece/grease.  In this case, it's true.)

From Hürriyet Daily News, the transformation of the Turkish island of Yassıada into Democracy and Freedom Island is expected to be complete in 2019.  (Yes, that's an "i" without the dot in "Yassıada".)










From The Washington Free Beacon, former Senator and Secretary of State John Kerry says that the United States has "paid a price" for not enforcing President Obama's red line in Syria.  (It's easy to make such an admission in hindsight, isn't it?)


From Breitbart Border, a human smuggler is arrested after 62 migrants are found in her truck.  (As an old cigarette ad used to say, "You've come a long way, baby.")
