A Resignation, A Designation, And Other Stories

Starting with an item that broke late yesterday and continuing with today's news and views, here are some things going on:



From The Washington Free Beacon, more on the IRGC being designated as terrorists.





From American Thinker, why amnesty for illegal aliens won't solve our immigration problems.  (We tried this once, and it failed miserably.)


From LifeZette, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is "eager" to opposite Trump in 2020, and wants imprisoned felons to vote.  (In a debate between the two in 2020, their combined ages would be about 150 years.)





From the (U.K.) Independent, May goes to Paris to ask for a Brexit extension.












From ANSA, Roman residents protest against Roma being present in local council houses.  (The Roma are also known as "Gypsies", based on an old mistaken notion that they originated in Egypt.  Ironically, Roma is also the Italian spelling of the name of the city Rome.)


From the NL Times, in the Netherlands, Shell will charge extra to compensate for CO2 emissions.  (To my amazement and pleasant shock, the article actually uses the term "CO2".)







From Hungary Today, Austria will extend its border controls for Hungary and Slovenia.  (If you read German, read more at APA.)








From Turkish Minute, Istanbul's mayor-elect faults families who own TV stations for not covering his speeches.  (I've long held the opinion that media bias is not shown by what they say, but by what they don't say.)









From AhlulBayt News Agency, Iran returns the favor.


From The Express Tribune, in Karachi, Pakistan, humans eat sharks.





From News(dot)com(cot)au, a Muslim man allegedly launches an anti-Islamic attack on a Muslim family in Wollongong, Australia.  (My spell-checker has no problem with "Wollongong".)



From Gatestone Institute, the plight of women in India remains grim.



From the New York Post, robots might be able to do a better job than human umpires.  (I welcome our new robot overlords - to the baseball diamond.)
