Wednesday Whatnot

Here in the middle of the week are some things going on:


From National Review, "the Jussie Smollett disgrace".




From the Washington Examiner, this past Monday, the Border Patrol in the southwest apprehended more people than on any day in the past 10 years.  (And yet, according to some people, there's no border crisis.)



From LifeZette, concerning violence against women, former Vice President Joe Biden (D-Del) blames whitey.  (He apologizes for how he once treated Anita Hill.  As a bonus, the article links a piece from The Daily Wire setting forth six reasons why Hill's accusations against Clarence Thomas were not credible.)


From The Conservative Woman, "everyone hates Hamas - except the BBC".




















From Sputnik International, according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko, NATO has increased its reconnaissance near Russia's borders.  (The name "Grushko" is similar to the Polish word gruszka, which means "pear".)



From Ekathimerini, changing the Hagia Sophia back into a mosque would require UNESCO's permission, says UNESCO.  (The site was originally a Christian cathedral, later converted into a mosque, and most recently became a museum.)
















From Hürriyet Daily News, according to Turkish President Erdoğan, the U.S. has no right to "give" the Golan Heights to Israel.  (Technically, he's correct.  The Golan Heights was not given to Israel by the U.S., but was taken by Israel from Syria.  The U.S. merely agrees with Israel's actions.)


From Rûdaw, members of the Kurdish Women’s Protection Units hold a parade in Hasaka, Syria to celebrate the end of the ISIS caliphate.  (These are some of the women who fought against ISIS while numerous Syrian males were fleeing toward Europe.)





From Gli Occhi Della Guerra, Saudi women who fought for the right to drive have been detained and tortured.  (It looks like I've found another source from Italy.)




And from WKYT, a man in California goes nuts after seeing Spanish words on a bilingual Mexican food menu.  (It's Mexican food.  Even many of the English words are derived from Spanish.)
